    Chicken sh*t plays his cards right. Duck the real challengers and champions and wait for the big opportunity. Floyd deserves nothing less than being taken out on a stretcher.

    The biggest fight in boxing is Wlad vs Vitali. Nobody is going to fathom a Floyd Faggot Fairyweather fight. The most boring motherf*cker in this era.

    First off, Vitali would brutalize his brother in like 2 rounds.

    Secondly, don't you want to see Fraud Gayweather get smoked? I'd pay $54.99 for that. :fightme:

    roach is a smart guy. he said there's no way he would let pacquiao fight margarito. i doubt he would let him fight cotto.

    fighting mayweather is a guaranteed L for pac.

    hatton's a more logical opponent (and lucrative) although that's no walk in the park.

    Mayweather vs Pacquiao @140 makes my panties wet. Gotta happen. The most significant fight since Whitaker-Chavez? Since Jones-Toney at least.

    Hatton-Pac would be fine as well, with Pac-Floyd later in the year in Pac wins.

    I think not. The one time they sparred, it was Vitali who got hurt and had to quit. If they were to fight, it sure as hell would NOT be a massacre. Don't let Vitali's easy win over midget Peter fool you.

    What is weird is why Manny carried up power and speed 3 classes while Hatton couldn't even jump one.

    It must be the training and lifestyle of both fighters.

    He retired to duck Margarito, Cotto and anybody else who could've challenged him. Now...to return to face Pacquiao for the sake of money is a chicken sh*t move. You know it is.
    IMO, he does not even deserve to fight Pacquiao. Pacquiao should fight Hatton instead and tell Floyd to go f*ck himself. Let Floyd go fight somebody else for a 'big' payday. Only thing is, there won't be any big paydays other than possibly against the guys he ducked in the first place like Margarito.

    i wouldnt even watch that shit fight, those 2 are boring as hell, plus together they are gonna fight not trying to hurt each other, equals double boring as hell, no one gives a shit about either klit brothers, i would put calzaghe vs pavlik, or williams vs magarito, or marg vs mosely, or pac vs hatton over those two shit birds

    Pacquiao will crush Hatton. Cut him up and stop him.

    So then don't ever participate in any Klit discussion if you don't care about them. But I know for sure you'll be on here riding Haye's sack if he gets in there with either Klitschko.
    You know, just like any boxing fan, you just have to take a peak.:lol:

    True but the one time Vitali got hit by a guy with similar power to Wlad, he got cut up BADLY. Remember that guy named Lewis?

    This is from BoxingTalk, with "sources" downplaying the Mayweather comeback talk:

    Instead, John Wirt brings up Pac and Arum's oft-used punching bag:

    You are stupid if you believe that....


    The biggest money fight..not involving DE LA HOYA.......is MAYWEATHER vs. PACQUIAO....

    what i do agree with you is that Mayweather did duck the tough fights at 147...Cotto/Margarito/Williams...

    IMO....Mayweather vs. Cotto would've done the same PPV buys if not more than Mayweather vs. Hatton...

    Perhaps, but Cotto can't fill Vegas the way Hatton can.

    Cotto vs. Mayweather would fill itself up with NO PROBLEM...and would generate a whole lot of ppv...

    it was an excuse to not fight Cotto...

    and not that Margarito has defeated Cotto..and probably Mosley in January a fight between him and Mayweather will also do over a million buys...mexicans would eat it up....Margarito might not be a DRAW fighting ordinary guys w/ shit fanbase like Williams...but vs. Cotto/Mayweather/Mosley type guys he can sell...

    When did this happen and how do you know about it? All the stuff you've been posting lately I have a hard time believing anything you write.

    Hanz is a spammer...he is full of shit......I think the KLIT sisters mention that they have not spar each other in years....cause they rather make love to each other than war...

    Ask Vitali. He and Wlad had a sparring session which became intense and Vitali got the worst of it. It's a matchup problem, Vitali had problems with Wlad's straight right hand and couldn't keep him on the outside because Wlad is as tall as he is.
    Wlad is the more talented and more finesse of the brothers. Vitali is tougher.

    Actually, I was pondering that too...

    Here's the thing: Hatton carried enough up to beat (just) a B-Level guy like Collazo and nowhere near enough to beat an elite guy (Mayweather). So it might be fair to say that he is diminished at 147 but still competative (at worst) against B-level guys.

    Manny beat a version of De La who wouldn't have been competative against B-Level guys at 147. He is clearly shot to bits.

    As to whether or not Manny really has carried his skills up to the elite level, well, I'll reserve judgement for when he actually FIGHTS an elite level welter, because whatever he fought on Saturday was certainly NOT that.

    Not saying he won't, you understand, just saying I'll wait for further evidence.

    Wouldn't put it past him, mind, and one other factor is relevant here. Manny is a much, much better fighter than Hatton is.

    Ask Vitali? Yeah, I'll get right on that.

    You are extremely rude. As for the Klitschkos, it was from Vitali's own mouth.
