Agreed with most, although I think Kessler might last longer, and I'm not really sure if Roy lost his killer instinct with the RJ alter-ego after...
He may have been the last person in the arena to realize that Foreman was rallying against Lyle after being dropped. I liked some of his quotes...
Agreed, I think almost any guy will move up in weight for a chance at the payday and exposure with Oscar.
I don't think Arum has any plans on working with Floyd anytime too soon, and vice versa. If Hatton wins, then DLH is supposed to fight him,...
Mosley has the edge head-to-head, but De La Hoya has the superior resume/accomplishments overall and will go down higher in history than Shane, IMO.
De La Hoya is still the larger guy physically than Mayweather, as you have admitted before. Oscar fought at 130 a grand total of two times,...
Then I'd consider the thread a success.
I couldn't stand Ferdie as a commentator. A stuttering, blabbering fool. Here's a good line from him though: "He throws a punch or two and...
So you're on the fence?
Inspired from Sly's Hops/Calzaghe thread. Miguel Cotto winning 7 of 12 rounds against the 36 year old, full-time fighter, Shane Mosley at...
I wouldn't mind seeing Billy Graham and Roger Mayweather go at it, both verbally and physically.
Hopkins said his intent was to make Trinidad angry, as "an angry fighter makes mistakes". Tito makes enough mistakes anyway for a fighter as...
Psychological warfare.
I don't see why it was such a surprise. :dunno: I expected Mayweather to look to see if Hatton would beat Castillo and then fight him, as we...
Mayweather and Hatton started negotations pretty much right after the Hatton-Castillo fight. I don't think the negotiations for Cotto and...
Anytime Miguel Cotto speaks on his future plans, it's Bob Arum talking.
The Hatton fight was already made when Cotto and Mosley signed to fight. Golden Snaggle Tooth was talking about Mayweather fighting Mosley, but...
I won't post the link because Cupey might get mad, but it's supposed to take place on 3/15 at the Mandalay Bay.
I thought the same thing, that Hatton was mocking Floyd with more resentment and disgust than usual, but I try not to read too much into things...
Tito-Vargas
The track record doesn't look good on Teddy's inspirational and motivational skills in the corner. But because of HBO Legendary Nights, there's...
Mayweather-Hatton. :lol: Jones-Ruiz. Foreman had some other good quotes that night too. "It doesn't matter if you're 6 foot 12"
Naseem Hamed and Marco Antonio Barrera. Jim Lampley is in love with Metalhead.
I like both Taylor and Pavlik...I like Pavlik more because I like his fighting style more. I guess after seeing how Taylor was bashed on the...
The end of Hopkins-Tarver
Larry Merchant: "Which one are you going with? Your head or your gut?" Harold Lederman: "I haven't seen an exhibition of boxing like this since...
Roy Jones-Derrick Harmon?
Hasim Rahman's second head is what caused Lennox Lewis to say, "I can see why Mike Tyson bit him"....
I was referring to the rematch, as the next sentence indicates. But either way it's the same. November 2003 or May 2004, Roy was looked upon...
Not when Tarver beat him. When Tarver beat Roy, nearly everyone viewed Roy as a little past his prime, but far from shot. Roy had one of his...
Separate names with a comma.
