I gotta hear Joe Calzaghe's response to this, given that he beat Hopkins (a black fighter) fair and square.
I wouldn't say that at all. For the purposes of this debate, let's assume he didn't have loaded gloves in any of his fights prior to the Hopkins...
David Haye is a nothing. And his reference to his achievements at cruiserweight are proof that he's at least aware that he has no historical...
What I'm afraid to say is that the Margarito who beat the shit out of Cotto may have beaten Mosley and Pacquiao. In other words, with his...
Jake you must have forgotten to read my list; it's perfectly appropriate and demonstrates a keen understanding of what is meant by, "talented."...
Dude, you forgot Sanchez. The biggest natural of them all.
off the top of my head (very little concentrated effort; personal preferences abounding): JMM McCallum El Finito Duran Pacquiao ODH RJJ Mel...
many picked JMM to win. and yet, JMM was a great featherweight, a great junior light-weight, a pretty good light-weight and a non-threat at any...
The fight was a sham. Period.
well then what the fuck else are we talking about? what this means is that Steve Dave's comment, "who other than the promotion hyped this fight as...
main-stream coverage. HBO PPV. HBO 24/7. PBF.
i like fight-night on the PSP. only one i've played.
As with most companies, the biggest single expense is salaries. It's very possible most of their money is getting paid out not only to fighters,...
yeah but that fight wasn't lauded as some sort of p4p show-down the way PBF/JMM was.
Wow. PBF won a 12 round decision over a guy who can't beat Hurtado !!!
Shane's problem is he "really" believes he can win all of the fights he takes (including the Mayweather fight). And so his thought process is...
Mosley/Mora was fixed. As was ODH/PBF. GBP is bad news.
agreed. i love watching boxing, but Whitaker was the most tedious "P4P" fighter i ever saw. why he's thought to be so invincible is beyond me....
i understand that you're not interested in imagining a welterweight version of Castillo. but let's not pretend that anything discussed here has is...
let's see - SRL against an over-rated and over-hyped slow as hell brawler with a below average chin? Uh, I'll go with SRL.
The only way this debate makes any sense at all is if you have a broad enough mind to imagine a proportionally bigger Castillo - a welterweight...
I guess I object to bellyaching when it implies it's an injustice to have made a movie about Mickey Ward.
Ramirez was not better than Castillo. Who did he ever beat besides Rosario? Nobody.
I'm guessing Ward/Sanchez qualifies, if it hasn't been mentioned already.
You must be Slystaff.
That's what I figured. I guess I'd have to toss in PBF/Gatti then too for the same reason. PBF/Hatton wouldn't count except that it occurred at...
No to both of your questions. But SRL wins the fight. And by knock-out.
dude, are you sucking PBF's dick or what? i mean seriously. it's one thing to be a fan of the athlete and look the other way when it comes to his...
Well. No. Because this thread was about Ward's top 5 fights. Let me put it in terms you might understand. Take the recent movie made about...
I think I'm with you on why, but can you confirm by expanding a bit on why you include this fight in this thread?
