Rodriguez wound up fighting Will Rosinsky at that time. I don't understand the motives of his management. He's a damn good fighter, but I don't...
If Gonzalez comes to fight, then perhaps so. But as long as Stevenson has a chin, he should win with room to spare
The IBF ordered a total of seven eliminators from the time of Bute's last defense, which was when he fought Mendy in July. Donovan George was...
And why are you not as vocal w/ the WBC and its lack of feasible explanation for ordering no fewer than three eliminators for the 154 lb title,...
Rodriguez is fighting Donovan George next month on HBO. Both turned down eliminators to instead fight each other. Don't blame them, but that's the...
I missed the fight where he beat the hell out of Morales. Yes, he had Khan badly hurt and made Ortiz quit. He's a tough guy, I don't dispute...
Fair points. However, seems like now is the best time (financially) for a Khan rematch. Sure if both fighters keep winning it's no worse than as...
There's nothing wrong with pursuing a rematch. It's the manner in which Khan and Golden Boy went about it that rubbed everyone the wrong way. The...
The question is, which Chino shows up. He has to come out early and just throw (and hopefully land) at will. That was Matthysse's undoing - in...
Why is this pathetic, Jimmy? I think this is a terrific fight, in fact a terrific doubleheader if Matthysse-Soto materializes (and neither pulls...
I can see an upset here, BUT don't believe it will have anything to do with power. Eloy's best shot is mauling Broner and making the fight as ugly...
Perez has been a lot more aggressive in his past several fights. He realized his style (and far too laid-back demeanor) wasn't getting him...
Ha. Looks like we zinged each other over the course of this thread :lol:
The WBO just seems to lack any authority or even morals. Not sure they've ever once said "no" to Arum and/or Zanfer. I don't have a huge problem...
He said it after the Manfredo fight as well. The WBC rules also state that anyone convicted of a crime should be stripped of his title, yet...
Incorrect. The IBF leaves the spaces open for the purpose of creating mini-tournaments for fighters to earn a #1 ranking, as opposed to just being...
Precisely. You could've stopped there. That's why I prefaced my comment with "as far as they go today..." They've come a long way since the Bob...
I knew the answer to it, since it was obvious. Was just pointing out that people suddenly get righteous about the rules once they lose a fight (or...
As far as they go today, the IBF is actually by far the cleanest of the bunch. Save for, of course, the whole mystery man thing in Peterson-Khan :lol:
I know, I don't get it either. And quite honestly, I've never heard of even that part of it being practiced anywhere in the US other than...
Open scoring is actually only revealed after the 4th and 8th rounds. In the US they don't truly allow open scoring, but the WBC reps does inform...
It was a rhetorical question, Double L. Calm down.
The diuretic found in his system when he got suspended a couple of years ago is also used as a masking agent to hide other drugs. Not saying...
He's an asshole, for starters. Not entirely his fault, but grown enough to be something else other than that, but chooses not to. A grand total...
Everyone gave Donaire a pass that night, but he could've done a lot more. He had like 4-5" and probably 20 lb. of natural weight on the guy. A...
they're both to blame, but Floyd proved just how truly stupid - and arrogant - he is by not allowing public perception to speak for itself. He...
Whitaker-Chavez without the suspect scoring.
Assuming we're taking that version of Bernard and moving him up to 168... I'd take the Hopkins from the Glen Johnson fight wins a clear decision,...
I'd actually pick Floyd here. Taylor is the perfect MW for him - not much technique and terrible stamina. As long as Floyd didn't give away too...
My biggest problem with Tony Tucker is that - as bad as was the division back then - he had the softest record of the bunch. Most of the rest of...
