  • Fighters who act like they are big stars and demand bigtime money but aren't

    What's more annoying than that? Undeserving pricks thinking they are god's gift to earth when in reality either most people have no idea who they are or they are has beens who are lucky to get another payday.

    Recently Vanes. Who the hell are you? Always calling out names then turning down big fights. Best "win" to date is a loss to a nearly shot Ouma.

    Winky Wright was notorious (turned down Oscar). Yeah you were a great fighter but no one really cared.

    Kelly Pavlik pulling out last minute, wont fight Bute. This guy is fresh out of rehab, got schooled by Bernard then Martinez and thinks he's still a cashcow.

    Joshua Clottey. Really? You think you deserve a mil to cover up for 12 rounds?

    Timothy Bradley. Dude has 14 fans in his home town.

    Feel free to add to the list.

    David Diaz turned down some good cash to fight JMM, instead opting to fight Hammerin Hank on ESPN for chump change and a beatdown. He wouldve got beat down by JMM too but at least he would've been paid accordingly.

    Winky, Winky, Winky. Nuff said.

    Sergio Mora turned down a fight with Jermain Taylor because it was going to be in Arkansas.

    I'll think of a few more.

    ** ****, didn't Kid Chocolate AND Angulo turn down big money fights with Sergio too?

    Cool topic.

                Quillin was offered the Martinez fight like two months before he started calling him out, but Quillin's team said no.

                  maybe. All I know is that Quillin's manager will not stray from his plan in the slightest bit and controls who he fights, when what kind of opponents they are. He's very, very strict to the plan he has him on to reach the top.

                  I think it's obvious Quillin wants Martinez, it's probably a matter of time rather than money.

                    Out of your list; Definitely Winky Wright and Joshua Clottey.

                    The funny thing about them is somehow it has magically turned around into them being feared monsters who were ducked by everyone in the book.

                    Atleast Winky Wright was quite good, though.
