You do know that Hopkins isn't undefeated, right? That he's a mere mortal?
My role as a fan isn't to prioritize HBO's budget or to speculate on which fights are worth the money and which aren't.
This is exactly the kind of fight that should be on HBO - a fight between two of the best fighters in the division. Can't wait to see Hopkins...
It's an obvious improvement over Ortiz. And a compelling fight. It's not entirely obvious if 154 would benefit PBF or Cotto, but given 154 is...
It may not be new, but it is ever-increasing. And when you think about the quality of fights that used to be on HBO (non-PPV) as recently as the...
Yep. Cotto fits the bill as a shorter than average welterweight. Thinking about it, it makes it all the more likely Cotto will be PBF's opponent....
Tua's not fat. He's stocky.
Credit? What do you mean, credit? Would I pay to see the fight? If I'm honest with myself, probably. But does he deserve extra credit for fighting...
Boxing has lost its mass appeal. The game now is about pinching as much cash from hard-core fans like myself. I often wonder if I wouldn't be...
Agreed. But we both know neither of these guys would dream of fighting on anything but a PPV show. And therein lies the problem. These guys would...
She clearly deserves to be slapped around.
Why am I not surprised by Sly's confession that he barely follows boxing? I guess it's because he's not a fan at all. Rather, he's a PBF...
This sums it up well. PBF got done fighting the best a long time ago. He's graduated to become professional boxing's version of the Harlem...
See. This is a huge misconception. Huge. The idea that size matters only when the larger fight is a puncher? Are you serious? What about the...
I read that Guerrero was out of the running. Market research probably showed that it was a bridge too far for duping the public with another...
And when Chavez landed his punches. It's well known that unlike Whitaker, Chavez wasn't shit at 147.
tack that up to good mgmt. Chavez and nelson were both out of their elrments at 147 and 135 respectively.
You could argue he won most of the rounds. But the rounds were close. Point is, he didn't, "totally school" Nelson the way it was painted (and...
It's not that I hate him. I just think he gets way more adolation than he deserves. I still remember the shock of seeing Whitaker/Nelson for...
And don't get me wrong. My aim isn't to down-play the skill and ability involved in making an opponent miss. Especially when it's done in a...
Yes. And don't get me wrong. My aim isn't to down-play the skill and ability involved in making an opponent miss. Especially when it's done in a...
Seriously, I like having Ramone around. He's very knowledgable and I respect his point of view and more often than not agree with him.
I think that's highly debatable. Also, while there's moments of that, depending on the opponent, I'd say that's a highly idealized...
Why is it the hardest way to fight? In many ways, it's the easiest. Putting defense above all else makes things easier for the following reasons:...
:lol: I think you're right. It might sound paranoid of me, but I wouldn't put it past these guys (and their camps) to have an agreement in...
On the other hand, I wouldn't classify his win over Nelson as easy. Nor would I his win over Chavez. But I can see how the style of certain...
it's a good point. beyond a fighter's style, there's also the question of opposition. let's assume for the sake of this discussion that...
So are we now all in agreement that it's PBF's fault at this point the fight is not happening? Given that anything but a 50/50 split is simply...
Apparently, cotto now has business ties with gbp. Don't be surprised if it's pbf and not pacquiao who cotto ends up fighting.
Camacho loses in a pathetic display of fear and a blatant disregard for offense.
