Agree with all of this. I did think Winky deserved the nod against Hopkins, but I'm in the minority. Regardless, he's in tough against Williams,...
Arreola is a decent fighter. Very tough and hits well above average. But Walker couldn't miss him and you can't blame that all on being heavy....
I like this matchup. Oscar has earned the right to fight whoever he wants and this is an interesting fight on paper.
I didn't say the fight sucked; I just don't think it was that great, especially when Gatti had better fights with far better endings. So how am I...
Because of the great knockdowns, ko's, or drama in the decision? edit: I forgot about the kd in this fight. Very overrated fight, regardless,...
I expect Morel to outbox Penalosa. I think his style matches up very well against Penalosa. I'd pick Jhonny against Morel for the same reason.
This article sums up what the way I remember it. Somewhat surprisingly, perhaps appropriately, details of the incident were not prevalent in...
No way. Doubt it makes his top 5.
During the broadcast, did they bring up the point a couple of people already did in this thread...that this wasn't even for a world title?...
You see what they did with the Froch fight...zipping out 20 seconds in the 12th rd and I think they did it in other rounds too. Why? Fuckwads.
Marcos Maidana should be on everyone's list who doesn't see him fight regularly.
Sounds inferior to Calz
Agree 100%. MSG does it sporadically, but doing it regularly will be nothing but good for the sport and the fans.
What more was he supposed to do? He fought Holmes and Bruno in his next two fights. I'd guess both were decent money fights. Back then, Lewis was...
Gee...IBF champ having to give up a belt to fight a unification? Big surprise there.
Moorer never did anything but prove that he was some shitty average title holder (at heavy).
Dave Tiberi... Floyd Mayweather. Michael Carbajal. Lennox Lewis.
Adamek could use an uppercut and defense against an uppercut in his arsenal.
Nice.
DQ? Never heard of that before. As stated above, the correct result is a No Contest. I hate performance enhancing drugs above the level of...
:lol:
It's funny if you say "Africa"; it's not funny when you look at the weather from where he is from (and you know how hot Las Vegas can get):...
Because he'll lose. Because if he wins, he doesn't have a belt. Because there are far easier fights out there for him, i.e. the other 122 lb champs.
Did you pick Pacq against dlh?
It wasn't all that long ago that JMM was winning rounds against Pacquiao. He isn't as good as his last fight.
Stupid fight without a belt on the line. Very stupid fight for both fighters.
You overestimate Pacquiao's speed and underestimate Chavez's ability, both in ample amounts.
The Chavez that had problems with Randall and Whitaker would have a lot more problems with Pacquiao. The best Chavez? Harder to know.
Do you not think his resume is better? I've quite a few fights from both and the best Hlatschwayo is better than the best Bradley. Witter choked.
Separate names with a comma.
