dammit. can one of the mods help me out here before this gets out of hand? i think this is a pretty interesting match-up (Iran vs. Joe).
yeah right. give GBP a break. let them be greedy ass promoters like everyone else.
he boxed the shit out of Mosquera late in the fight.
this fight is simply an equity transfer. i don't think there's any intention of making Valero/Pacquiao. Not on terms Pacquiao will accept. Rather,...
is this you dismissing my entire post without even explaining why?
show us some sparring !!!
Valero by knock-out. I see this as a favor by Barrera for GBP.
:lol: Iran Barkley. Sorry Iran.
I don't know. I would definitely call some of Monzon's punches sloppy. Again, I'm not saying Valero is as good as Monzon. But I think he's wired...
I'm guessing most people will pick Slappy to win. And maybe he does. But how do you see this fight playing out? The thing about Barkley is he was...
Valero reminds me of Monzon - like Monzon, I think Valero is deceptively skilled. And no, I'm not saying Valero is as good as Monzon. But I do...
:lol::lol: This would be a complete massacure.
:lol: ...this isn't fair; it's a match-up in which the current fighter can beat the legend from the past that i've built up in my mind as being...
i agree that Calzaghe, next to some of the ones we've listed, is definitely out of place. but he's still a chunk.
I forgot about Calzaghe. I would put him in with Pavlik or Adamek or possible Chad Dawson. But more importantly, I'd make him fight them in Vegas.
why you say that? i could only think of one fighter to list. :lol:
Assuming that we have to adhere to reasonable weight-class limitations, what fights would you make in order to guarantee the destruction of the...
yeah. that's a good point. still, i don't see why Pacquiao would duck JMM at this point. but i would understand why JMM would. like you said, it's...
it's weird. i never thought i'd say this, but i feel like i trust Arum's word over GBP's. and based on JMM's having turned down the rematch...
i'm not saying that. all i'm saying is, for long stretches of many of his fights, RJJ was in the ring with fighters that had completely lost their...
Luis Perez is fast becoming a one-hit wonder. Since beating Machado, he's done almost nothing except lose to Kirilov.
so should we make a thread for fighters who have had two brilliant performances then?
"He beat them mentally by being too good for them. Simple as that." Okay, but that's not to suggest that if a guy like Woods, or Gonzalez,...
Yeah. RJJ relied heavily on beating his opponents mentally - intimidating and taming them with his speed. And for a long stretch of guys he was...
One hit wonders: Buster Douglas Calzaghe Ivan Robinson
i think tarver is definitely a big puncher. what's weird is how RJJ took all of tarver's best shots in the first fight, but was KTFO in the second.
He ducked his head in order to avoid the counter, and may have closed his eyes, but he knew where he was going, and what he was doing. What's...
good point. and i agree. and i was thinking the same thing actually, as i comtemplated whether or not to record saturday's show. i recorded it...
i picked Margarito. i think he throws too many punches and is too strong for PBF or Mosley. and Cotto I think Margarito beats from the outside.
which is why it was once again time.
