It's mostly speculation trying to figure out exactly how or why this happened, since the "story" is now that the contract was oh so subtly changed...
There is merit to this post, it should not be dismissed outright. It is true that applying pressure tends to be more effective when the guy...
You've got to be kidding me. You cannot seriously believe what you are writing. Either that or you simply are not thinking through your...
I remember posting maybe a year ago that I felt Bradley could not be ruled out to beat anyone present at 140, including Pac (although I'd favor...
Ha! Fair enough. I suppose that since high-profile crimes (well, deaths anyway) such as this usually follow a pattern, motivated by revenge,...
This story is interesting to me. I wonder who really prompted her to publicize her "side" of the story? If it really comes from her, or is...
That may be the case. Clearly it was important to Pac to fight for a belt, as I said before. So all he had to do was go to the WBC and tell them...
You guys have short memories. This is from the Pacquiao Wants To Fight Cotto For The WBC Diamond Belt! thread a bit back. Now if what you were...
I like both Cotto and Pac, so frankly there is not much to criticize in either fighter as far as I am concerned. This, however, annoys me. This...
Interesting. It is a bit odd that that idea did not carry forward or get refined in some sense so as to be present at all fights. I will thus...
Well for what it's worth on the Concepcion DQ, I think he is telling the truth when he says he didn't hear the bell. Doesn't matter anyway, he...
People do sometimes have a tendency to look back at victories and re-judge them based on what the loser later accomplishes. I suppose in some...
Yup. Lacy has nothing. Nothing. He should seriously consider retiring, not just because of losing to Roy, but because he is a shell of what he...
No offense, but why post spoilers for a completely separate event in this thread? I was recording the Carano/Cyborg deal, but I guess I now what...
I suppose. I just remember when he used to box a little bit, and just use distance enough to set up that left hook. He was never stellar, but he...
What happened to Jeff Lacy? He's not boxing at all. Just lumbering in throwing wild, inaccurate shots. Lacy is such an odd case, I am not sure...
It's hard for me at times to understand what motivates boxers to say the things they say. I understand an active boxer, young or in their prime...
I agree. Zab Judah had the fastest straight left I've ever seen. Ask Floyd, who couldn't avoid it either. Anyhow, I think that it's kind of...
I found this picture of the belt in question: [IMG] I laughed for a while at the WBC's assertion that there are "rubbies" on the belt. What...
Yup. Everyone involved has a share of the blame. The only sympathy I feel is for Resto simply because I believe he is the only one who has any...
See, I think that although there is some truth to the fact that fighters can indeed return to the ring (or continue fighting past their prime) and...
I have always contended that the "greatness" of a boxer's career is in LARGE part determined by when he retires. When someone gets out of the...
One thing I noticed about Arreola is that he fights well on the inside. He has a way of sort of pushing his punches, straight and from a very...
Well, for what it's worth, I think Resto told most of the truth as far as what he was aware of at the time. I think there are still a few small...
I just watched this fight on the DVR. Why are Showtime commentators so damn slow on the uptake? It was so incredibly, unmistakeably,...
Well based on the latest article, I think Gatti indeed hung himself in a drunken stupor, probably fueled by guilt over throwing his woman to the...
This is one dimensional thinking. It shows a lack of understanding about the many possible perspectives one can approach this with. You want...
Really? Well then I guess I missed that. Do you have a link? The only article I read that went into any detail said that the wife found him,...
What in the world are all of you talking about? He was found laying there dead on the floor. His wife called it in. They booked her for murder...
If Gatti's family and his close friends and acquaintances all believe this goes against what they knew of Arturo Gatti, they should consider...
