Wow. I expected it to do around the same numbers as DLH-Trinidad, maybe a little more, but below Tyson's best PPV numbers.
The 11th round was Mayweather's best round.
Probably Friday.
He looked alright. He had some problems but I credit Abdullaev for making it rough on him. Cotto moved a lot and picked his shots fairly well.
I prefer watching Vitali fights that actually happened. Like his fights with Tyrd and Lewis. I actually watched that Cotto-Abdullaev fight a...
No. Toney probably didn't need it, but he was positive anyway and lost his chance at the belt because of it. It's his fault, and he doesn't...
I don't know, but Kassim Ouma said they offered him $50,000 to fight on the undercard and he rejected it. Oscar probably pays the underage...
He probably watches Tszyu's fights with Vince Phillips and Ricky Hatton all the time.
Toney's "title" at 175 was the WBU. And he didn't win a title at heavyweight because he was stupid and took steroids when he most likely...
Fixed.
If they were to both retire today, Roy would be higher on the all-time rankings.
:lol:
What, Oscar landing on air and Floyd landing on glove? :lol:
Ummm...when? The end of the 11th? No one was seriously hurt. Floyd was no more hurt in the 11th than Oscar in the 5th. Which basically was...

I hate it when people act like Foreman was dominating Ali before he got tired. People saying that De La Hoya "clearly sealed" the victory over...
Good ones. Leonard was frustrating Duran with his movement and taunting, but it was still a pretty competitive fight. I thought Mayweather won...
James Toney-Michael Nunn was a "lucky punch". Toney was getting to Nunn had won the previous couple of rounds. Actually, basically any time...
Marvin Hagler was a brawler. Fernando Vargas lost to Felix Trinidad simply because he chose to brawl instead of box. Oscar De La Hoya's corner...
115-113 for De La Hoya was fair, IMO. For all the criticism heaped on HBO after that fight for being biased, Harold has never been really biased...
James Toney vs. Vasilly Jirov Floyd Mayweather vs. Jesus Chavez Oscar De La Hoya vs. John-John Molina
My pick would be Trinidad with his size and accurate punching. Then again, I can see Floyd using his legs a lot, going at angles, leaping in...
De La Hoya-Vargas was an excellent fight, the most exciting of De La Hoya's big fights....I'd be very pleased if Trinidad-De La Hoya II were on...
It wasn't the punches that hit air that looked like they landed when they didn't. It was the shots that De La Hoya parried with his high guard....
Well said.
I agree. I've seen a lot of fights better than Hagler-Hearns. But as I said before, Hagler-Hearns might be higher on my list if I had seen it...
No, Floyd should stay active. "Fighters fight". It's bad enough that the sport's biggest star is already a part-time fighter. Now we'd have...
I'm pretty sure you had it a draw or Mayweather by a point. I remember thinking, "CYC must really hate Mayweather or like Judah".
Didn't Jim Watt have Gatti beating Baldomir when it was stopped?
I don't know about that. What exactly is a HOF worthy career in boxing? It's not like the standards are high.
