Oh the rematch. Nah. I think Cotto needs to dictate the pace better.
Get out your PBF/Brusseles recordings. I recognize Cotto is a million miles more talented than that guy, but there's no denying the stylistic and...
this might have been an acceptable fight 2 years ago, when Pacquiao and PBF first began negotiating. But at this point, the fact these two can't...
You sure would. It's not like you're a boxing fan. You're a Floyd fan and if he were to lose your world would be upside down.
Plus he's short. And that's one of the reasons I'm not at all surprised that Cotto was chosen as the opponent.
Is that a joke? That cotto has never looked better?
Good point. Let's hope having beaten PBF, Cotto has the balls to say that PBF is better than Pacquiao. Under those circumstances, I'd have no...
I'm glad to see it too. But don't pretend like PBF has a habit of doing it that way.
Unless there's recent news that PBF has agreed to 50/50, I don't know how it's fair to say Pacquiao doesn't want to dance, when PBF is the one...
I'm with you. Anything but Pacquiao is inexcusable. So no credit. Having said that, I'd rather see him face Cotto than Guerrero or Canelo.
I hope Cotto doesn't go in there like Gatti, thinking he can out-fox PBF. Clearly, Cotto's going to have to be physical and aggressive. I think if...
The part about Cotto? Cotto's not a challenge? Is that what you're saying? Or are you saying that despite Cotto's long status as a champion in the...
This is exactly what PBF's camp wants everyone to think, because the logical conclusion then is that it doesn't matter who he fights - nobody's...
I disagree. I think in the past and currently, there's several challenges that PBF's been unwilling to take on. Examples include Pacquiao, Cotto...
I would definitely pick a prime Holyfield to beat Spinks.
His offense looked like shit because he was unwilling to deal with the return fire. ODH was having success countering PBF early on, and it put PBF...
I don't know what your point is. Are you saying in all cases, someone should pick the fighter who most would expect to lose? Because Ali managed...
I don't want to come off as a stickler, but Sly's spelling could sure use some work.
It's a fair question. And one I've asked myself. Putting aside for a minute that the fight was fishy, I think part of it was that ODH got...
Sly isn't gonna let something as trivial as actual events get in the way of his image of PBF as the best fighter ever.
:lol: so PBF shows some vulnerability, and looks highly beatable, the first time he fights a real welterweight, and your take is: "an anomally."...
People need to remember the ODH fight, and how susceptible PBF was to the jab. I recognize that all fighters struggle with a jab in their face....
I don't see how PBF wins this. If Taylor plays it safe, he wins rounds with his jab (we saw in the ODH fight how effective a consistent and long...
Dammit. We don't get to see one of today's premiere mustard fighters. You'd think a rematch of 2011's fight of the year would've done good sales....
This sucks.
Point is, if I may rephrase, PBF is not invincible. Not even close.
No. Not even close. Have you seen Corrales' 1-2? Corrales was a good infighter with good short punches. He did not fit this bill. Not even close.
Yeah because wins over Ortiz, a blown up Hatton, a featherweight named JMM, and an over the hill ODH suggest that only an all-time great like...
:lol: Ha ha. I laughed at this. It's true. Neither of those guys are around. But I'm not even talking about fighters necessarily of their...
I reject the premise which is that PBF has taken on and beaten all comers. He's yet to face a tall and rangy true welterweight with a strong...
