The huggery of Felix Trinidad on message boards was only surpassed by that of Mike Tyson's fanatics and Klitschko fanatics on eastside. "Tito is...
Castillo did crap in the first 4-5 rounds, and Compubox means little. Are you going to follow a system that says Mayweather landed 220+ punches...
I saw Saw 1 and 3. After seeing 3, I have no interest in seeing 4, which is supposed to be the worst of the series
I would pick Mayweather over Cotto, but not very confidently. It's like a 55-45 fight.
No I was referring to the early loss to Marcel.
Arguello?
It's hard to picture Cotto becoming as big as Trinidad because he lacks Tito's charisma.
A better comparison would be like saying Pernell Whitaker would lose to Thomas Hearns/Ray Leonard @ 147 or Oscar De La Hoya would lose to Mike...
Maybe he's gotta take orders from his boss, just like when he decided he'd get his teeth fixed and go on vacation rather than fight Floyd Mayweather.
Cotto won it fairly. I have no problem with the official scorecards of 7-5 and 7-4-1. However I don't think it was a 9-3 type fight.
There's a big difference between the popularity of Arturo Gatti and Oscar De La Hoya. Gatti was a popular HBO fighter, who sold out Atlantic...
Illu had it 117-111 for Cotto. :lol:
I had it Cotto 115-113.
Shane will be a first ballot HOFer.
Well, Oscar did beat Castillejo for the WBC belt before he fought Vargas, unifying two of the belts. You can argue for Winky since he had the IBF...
:lol: :laughing:
:laughing: :lol: Come on L. There's nothing wrong with making a bad pick in a fight like the Vasquez-Marquez rematch.
I voted for good.
I pretty much agree. I think Williams beats Mayweather. I thought Cotto would beat Mayweather but now I'm thinking he's a slight underdog....
My all-time worst pick ever is Andrew Golota over Lennox Lewis.
Linear title is sometimes different from the best though. Michael Spinks, George Foreman, Shannon Briggs, Joel Casamayor, Carlos Baldomir....all...
I've said for the longest time that I never believed Oscar would fight again at 147. DLH-Cotto would be at 154 or a catchweight, IMO. Maybe...
I read this earlier in the Chronicle. Good article.
I still expect this to happen on May 3, 2008, but I'll be pleasantly surprised if Cotto ends up fighting the winner of Mayweather-Hatton around...
Provided PBF gets past Hatton, I think we'll see Mayweather-Mosley in the spring of 2008. Mayweather and Arum hate each other. Cotto will fight...
Joe still hates Ali. I don't buy that friendly shit, Frazier will say he forgives Ali and then the next week will say he's responsible for Ali's...
Provided PBF gets past Hatton, I think we'll see Mayweather-Mosley in the spring of 2008. Mayweather and Arum hate each other. Cotto will...
Mayweather destroyed Manfredy too.
Ike was a nutcase, but at least he had enough mental stability in the ring to win a couple fights of significance against contenders of note....
Joe Louis said later that the only two opponents he really hated were Max Schmeling and Tony Galento. He later became friends with both.
