You can't really blame Marquez for this situation, IMO...once Top Rank and GBP ironed out their differences earlier this year everbody knew...
Tua is sort of taking the Shannon Briggs approach to title contention...with the same promoter. And I think it's about the same way for Tua as...
Accurate: Wladimir Klitschko Inaccurate: Samuel Peter
Margarito's name has also been mentioned for this fight. Both are Top Rank fighters, but I imagine Clottey comes with a smaller price tag.
I think Julio wins.
I don't really watch that many fights anymore, but a fight I used to sometimes leave in the VCR and watch over and over again was DLH/Whitaker.
I never said Mayweather ducked anyone, not Margarito and not Baldomir...but you could find examples of both in the press of both...which doesn't...
Since you added the last part, I'll say - as I've said before - I had and have no problem with it. But Mayweather wasn't fighting Baldomir...
I never said that I had a problem with him leaving Top Rank or fighting Baldomir...but please don't try to suggest Baldomir is/was a tougher...
I never said I had a problem with it. I understand the reasons why he left Top Rank, and why Arum made the public offer of $8 million for...
Mayweather's hand was brought up in the press, I believe it was done first by Ellerbe, but I don't know of any verification of an actual injury....
They weren't offered at the same time. And it was Spinks, then Baldomir.
You present it as though it was simply an option of fighting Baldomir or Margarito, but Mayweather was offered $8 million to fight Margarito in...
Well, I've wondered how serious Golden Boy is about his career for years, because he's been a part-time boxer, at best, for a long time. When I...
Well, you know before reading his posts that it's trolling, but I guess it seems like sometimes he masks it better. It's part of the fun of...
It's not fun when you make your trolling obvious.
Actually, I already addressed why he could land against Judah (and Gatti for that matter). Margarito, unlike Baldomir, was actually ahead of...
Wins?
The thing I think you neglect in your argument is how much Baldomir would have struggled to land his power punches against some of the fighters...
Fights against top ten welterweights are meaningful fights....so victories over them are meaningful wins.
He's fought three top ten welterweights and beat two of them and narrowly lost to the third.
Perhaps that's why he chose to fight Baldomir instead...b/c everybody knew he was fighting DLH in May and Baldomir was an easy mark.
Hatton has a shorter range, plus while he punches harder he needs to set his feet more (at least before he leaps in to hold). Cotto can punch...
I wouldn't say it was complete monday morning quarterbacking...there was plenty of speculation about it after the Ngoudou fight.
I tend to agree. The boxing market is a bit over-saturated...that's part of the reason why the UFC does such good numbers...because fans know...
I disagree with that about re-scoring fights. Quartey took about 5-6 (maybe more) clean left hooks and a couple clean rights...some of the...
I scored the fight for Quartey regardless of the scoring for round 12.
Time wise it's half the round, but in terms of action, it's about 1/20.
I disagree. I think they should have to make weight the day before, but only be allowed to go a certain percentage over that in the time until...
Jake, Outside of the action along the ropes there's almost nothing meaningful from either fighter...DLH's exhausted and Quartey's just going...
