I just wish the fight weren't taking place at a catch-weight. It's going to taint Pacquiao's victory, if he wins (as well it should).
Did anyone actually watch this fight? If so, was it a fair decision? I read that it was controversial.
Depends. Will Cotto's gloves be skinned?
Mitchell was an accomplished fighter at 140 and was favored by many to win the rematch. He never did shit, however, at 147. In that sense,...
not at 147 he didn't.
according to you, Sharmba Mitchell, who PBF faced at 147 at the tail-end of his career, was a lightweight. :atu:
You called the plaster wielding version a fraud, which is ridiculous. The plaster wielding version of Margarito was indeed a monster. He knocked...
How ridiculous that any sanctioning body would ask a fighter to apologize.
I was wondering if that hadn't been one of the reasons Cotto split with his uncle. If I were him, I'd be pissed that my team fcked up like that.
it speaks to your friendly and laid back disposition that you find him hilarious. i think it's like having an infant on the forum.
yeah. Martinez has all the marbles, right? and plenty of HBO dates coming his way. just because a fighter doesn't get all of the terms he wants...
Margarito without plaster is the fighter who lost to Mosley and who did NOT beat Cotto. He is NOT the fighter I said was a threat. How does he do...
Dude, I'm in no way applauding Margarito's cheating. All I'm saying is, ethical issues aside, the plaster in his hands made him formidable. And so...
So you're not willing to accept the premise that Margarito's gloves were loaded against Cotto? Okay. So it sounds like, then, that you're...
ha ha ha. yes but it wasn't the worst of his career because of his hand-wraps. after all, the plaster was removed prior to the Mosley fight.
No catch weights for PBF. No small oponent. He's in against Margarito. The same guy who I knew was tough and who knocked out Cotto. Anyone who...
The bottom line is, when Margarito was allowed to load his gloves, he was a real force to be reckoned with. It wasn't until he beat Cotto though...
What good fight is that? PBF's conspiracy to be called the best fighter in the world without having faced a single top contender in his own division?
why don't they help in a fight?
PBF didn't know Margarito was loading his gloves when he refused to fight him. And even if he did, he could've seen to it before the fight that...
what does this have to do with the thread? as far as I can tell, the only guy who ducked Margarito was PBF. so no. I would not say he was the...
I could be wrong, but I think the thread is suggesting that we can assume Margarito "did" know about the hand-wraps, because otherwise, it's...
I agree it's disappointing that Williams will basically be taking on a smaller guy. Honestly, when you consider that Williams has no business...
1. Mayorga is not very talented 2. Becoming a unified world champion is a great achievement You say you disagree with #1, #2 or both. Which is it?
if the referee does anything but take points from the offending fighter, he is only making matters worse. if he breaks them everytime, he's...
I'm not so sure. Floyd's dad doesn't seem to think beating Mosley would be as easy for PBF as you do. Plus, my guess is that when PBF gets...
:lol::lol::lol:
actually, he didn't get boxed silly. that's a myth. SRL, in my opinion, definitely made a conscious decision to use more foot movement in the...
yeah but Shane will be fighting Berto having already faced Margarito and Cotto, not to mention all of the names at 154 that he faced. There's a...
If I'd last seen Pacquiao's fight against Barrera or Morales, I would agree with you. But he was much smarter and more respectful of his...
