Arum has stated for a while now that he preferred Cotto-Margarito, which is no surprise given they're both Top Rank fighters. Cotto-Margarito...
Fightnews: Big heavyweight card in Utah! Tua, Mesi, Williams, Greenberg headline By Sam DiTusa Heavyweight David “Tua Man” Tua continues...
Dsimon, I haven't been silent on the issue. I stated early on I thought Margarito was a better welterweight and tougher fight at 147 for...
He was around 22 at the time. He's 31 now. I'm sure that means nothing. He was also about 20 pounds lighter and had not become a world...
Now you're changing the parameters of the discussion. Harris was a "prospect and considered very talented"? You've been basing everybody...
What totality of evidence? Hatton's had one fight at welterweight, where he looked very sub-par narrowly winning a decision against Collazo (by...
Okay then, who are the fighters Vivian Harris has beat to make him more "proven"? Diobelys Hurtado (who holds the distinction of getting KTFO...
Yeah, but people made the same arguments about the middleweight division Hopkins fought in. Eventually, though, critics recognize that a...
Yeah, but Brown wasn't close to winning those fights...though he did take a couple rounds from Mosley and a few more from Corrales. Brown also...
He's a p4p fighter, but he gained most of those p4p wins in England with his hometown referee. Let's not pretend to avoid that point, either....
I think Hatton's fortunate he fought Castillo when and where he did, yes. Cintron and Clottey are ranked by most people in the top 5-8 in the...
The first line was a joke, which should have been evident...espeically given the second line. It's hard to do deadpan on the internet.
Do you even acknowledge a point's been made in a post, or do you just bypass that response for another point? :lol: The fact is, the division...
LOL, it's obviously Mayweather-DLH. Trinidad-DLH was expected by many to be a war...that made it even worse. Most boxing fans expected...
Well, in one bag we have dog shit...in the other, horse shit. Take your pick.
You really thought Castillo was a top tier guy at 140? What with the move up in weight, the layoff (due to suspension), the wear and tear, and...
I remember walking into my building one day and hearing the security guard and a delivery man talking about the fight. One of them said it was...
His level of opposition isn't that higher than Margarito's. Kostya Tszyu is the best win on either ledger, but there's not much to give the edge...
You guys are talking about Vitali like he's fought in the past three years.
Agree in large part. Margarito drops down the list now. Cotto, Mosley and Williams certainly pass him (the first two likely already...
He's waiting by the river waiting for the bodies to float by?
What makes Hatton a better welterweight than Margarito? One fight and a narrow win over Collazo? A fighter Mosley embarrassed. Unless...
He's also significantly taller and longer than Baldomir, which helps make up for his lack of speed...Margarito is also one of the better body...
We'll see how serious Mayweather is at fighting the best welterweights by what he does in November.....because Hatton is not one of the best...
Yeah, he fought to survive against Tarver in the rubber but he'll take the fight to Klitschko. At this stage, is Jones really that demonstrably...
Cotto was at 140 until December last year, Oscar wasn't fighting til May this year and Mosley was on vacation. That was why Margarito was being...
Okay, address the rest of it.
Well, if Mayweather gets as little respect for defense as Margarito did, he'll be in for a hell of a fight because he ain't matching punch-outputs...
Well, I think anybody being honest about their styles would admit to such. Honestly, you think Baldomir would do anymore against Spinks than...
Margarito was a champion, had a tough time getting other top fighters to fight him, and had consistently taken on a higher level of opposition...
