We've seen him look better was all I meant. Ward beat the shit out of Green and would do it 10 times out of 10. As a Ward fan, I'll admit I was...
No question Green was not at his best, but this is boxing at the highest level. When you only fight twice a year, you have to be able to perform...
I also liked John Ruiz's choice versus Roy. He came out to Goodnight Saigon by Billy Joel, which is a war song. Only John chose to also sprint...
Not too much of a serious thread here, but as I was thinking about the Mayweather-Mosley fight the following day it occured to me that Shane...
I thought the same thing, and it sorta confirms my suspicion if in fact he was ruled not to have a concussion. The doctor seemed so concerned...
First off, I was one of the people that said that while Dirrell obviously had the physical tools to compete, he didn't have the inner stength to...
Dirrell certainly has some advantages, and the physical tools to win the fight... but IMO it wil require a sustained level of focus and...
Agreed. I have defended Mayweather many, many times. But if he does not fight Mosley next then he had better "stay busy" with Cintron or Berto...
My post was partly in reponse to what I read on the first page of the thread. Mosley was past it and the fight was a decade too late, etc. While...
What the hell is with some of you people? Mosley, in his last fight, dominated the top welterweight in the world. No matter how much you hate...
Well, to me a blood test 30 days before the fight doesn't mean anything. I am not the most well versed on PED's (I try to stay away from all PED...
The people who are quick to jump on Pacquiao's case are failing to realize one important aspect of this BS: if the guy gives a blood sample on the...
I expect that rounds 1-8 will loook very similar to one another: both guys getting good work done in close rounds. I suspect that Williams will...
Dirrell-Abraham is FAR from a pick'em fight. Dirrell has done NOTHING to suggest he can beat top level fighters. Pot shotting and running will not...
While Dirrell may have better one-shot handspeed than anyone in the tourney, I think Abraham can match him in spots. When they trade in close,...
Dirrell fought like a bitch and deserved to lose. The sad part is he probably won't actually learn from that loss because he's convinced it was a...
Congrats to Ward. I have been one of the few defending him for the past few years. I never said he'd be the man in the division, but I thought...
This will come down to Nate's strategy. In my opinion, he cannot spend ANY time thinking he can box with Bradley. He needs to take the fight...
As a NorCal poster, I never thought Guerrero would be elite in any weight class, but he'll be a tough out wherever he fights. His problem is that...
I think Froch beats Bute in a neutral location, but not in Bute's hometown. Bute doesn't have the moxy that Froch does. Froch will wear him down...
Lots of great posts in this thread. One thing I have not seen written (although admittedly I have not read 100% of what has been offered here) is...
I think the Gold Medal has brought on a warped set of expectations for Ward. The whole "when is Andre Ward going to fight someone" thing has been...
Because of the internet, people feel the need to pick apart every prospect coming up. I honestly don't see why people have such issues with Ward....
Louder than Tito-Mayorga would you say? Tito-Joppy (the loudest I can remember)?
I was wondering if it was the crappy internet feed that made it sound so loud... MSG sounded even louder than usual.
There he goes.
Agreed. Like he is scared to pick up the pace and get countered. And for no reason, really.
Usually I can see both sides of an argument, but this one blows my mind. Lewis is just plain awful. Only a complete newcomer to the sport could...
Totally agree. I would add that Manny realizes the ethnic link between Phillipino and Hispanic fanbases. I recall him referencing that after...
I am not so sure. I think the Pacquiao that fought Saturday night would have steamrolled a prime Kostya Tszyu. And I have been extremely guarded...
