Do you think its fair for Mora and Manfredo to just cut the line and get a shot......

Calzaghe vs Manfredo is an abomination.Anyone paying to watch it,along with Calzaghe should be ashamed of himself. Don't you people in the U.K. have anything better to do?...nah,I guess not. Taylor coming off his stretch of top-notch opponents,I can give a pass to. But Calzaghe,well it just illustrates why people here in the USA look at most of these UK fighters as frauds. i agree with your statment but i would not class a boxer like calzaghe as a "fraud" his skills and speed are awesome taylor would get a ass WHOPING if he got in the ring with calzaghe so i cant really agree with u their but i do agree tht calzaghe has always taken the easy route in life

on the one hand i think it sucks that they get shots just cos they've gotten so much face time on TV. but on the other hand i know it'd good for boxing so i just make peace with it and ready the popcorn to watch these contenders guys line up like lambs to the slaughter against legit fighters. Taylor v. Mora? is this still happening? cos it's just going to be funny i think. does anyone honestly think Mora is getting out of this fight with a W? I think Manfredo is in big trouble with Calzaghe as well. but maybe they'll prove my theory wrong? doubt it though.

I mean Taylor and Calzaghe are the top dogs in their divisions, there are legit contenders begging for a chance at them and all of a sudden 2 tv fighters who have fought no one jump ahead of all those guys and get a shot. Well, both of them are going to get destroyed anyway, so i don't think the tv fighters will be taken seriously from now on. yea it doesn't seem fair, but saying Manfredo is just a legit contender is an understatement, becuase Manfredo is a good fighter, he's really improved since being trained by Freddie Roach, I see him as a top guy, after all he was in the top 10 super-middleweights last year. Mora can be called a legit contender, because even though he won the contender, he didn't prove nothing, but manfredo did.

Contendors become challengers. Champions must fight all challenger no matter how good or bad. Every challenger has a chance to beat any champion. This is boxing and we do belive in the word "up set " don't we? If you say no, no way there's an up set possable here, ask your self this: did you think buster was going to fuck tyson up?

Ouma was weak fisted at 154, he had no shot at beating Taylor, but of course everyone gives him the pass. Their is some major European hate on this forum.

I'm seriously p*ssed off with Calzaghe Brother Blues, so that's one Brit who doens't fit your stereotype. But thinking of anyone who hasn't fought a lot in the US as frauds is a mistake too many people make here. In a way your comments can be seen as indicative of the attitude of many Americans to the rest of the world in general, nevermind in boxing.

Like it'd make any difference. Nice generalisation of a whole country though.

Mora schooled taylor in the amateurs ....so he knows how to beat taylor who is very limited in his skills...mora will not knock out taylor and taylor will not knock out mora either ....Mora will easily win by decision....that is why the fight is interesting...also mora brings in a large fan base while miranda only brings the guys who are taking his money,,,the guy is a big dummy.. is that really u in the pic, if it is, you're hot and have pretty feet

Whatever sells best, wins.

I dont mind the Mayweather/Hatton examples as much, cause the way I see it a reigning champ moving up one weight class is usually worthy of a title shot, provided theyre a good legit. fighter, but yeah this manfredo/mora stuff seems a bit unfair to me, but atleast manfredo beat a couple ok guys at the weight, but he should have to fight a real eliminator imo. I'm sure they'll both be KO'd though. what about spinks? he got his last fight an L doesnt really count like them

it just life even Hatton got a title shot at 147 without beating anyone and Mayweather at 154 and this one is recent events i talking about and i forgot Corey Spinks I dont mind the Mayweather/Hatton examples as much, cause the way I see it a reigning champ moving up one weight class is usually worthy of a title shot, provided theyre a good legit. fighter, but yeah this manfredo/mora stuff seems a bit unfair to me, but atleast manfredo beat a couple ok guys at the weight, but he should have to fight a real eliminator imo.

Manfredo Is A Good Fighter He Always Been Good.

manfredo and mora are not viewed as serious threats by calzaghe, taylor... which makes them much more likely to land the fight, these are fights that they count in the W column the day the contract is signed... manfredo and mora are hardly the least deserving guys around either hell nicolai valuev has fought 3 consecutive guys that were less deserving of a title shot than tha contendas

No, but boxing is not fair. It was not fair that Carlos Baldomir did not win the IBF belt from Judah because he didn't want to pay sanctioning fees. That's not a "fee", that's like an extortion. It wasn't fair when George Foreman got 2 title shots in the 1990s without having beaten a top 10 contender and having lost his previous fight before beating Michael Moorer. It's not fair that Sam Peter has to go through all this mess beccause of Vitali Klitschko's "champion emeritus" or whatever. just the way it goes.

i agree with u guys...but imagine if one of them one..especially mora..the chaos that would bring..

sergio mora aint ever gonna be a legend or last long...the guy has feather fists. he only has like 4 knockous on his padded record. when you have no power and you get caught with punches your not going to last long. imagine if he fought a guy like edison miranda? mora would die.QUOTE] ha ha ha ha ha... it does piss me off though that taylor is fighting mora instead of miranda... at least taylor will finally get a spectacular knockout to pad that record

They are being used, and Manfredo was one fight away from a title shot anyway. Im sure he would have beaten another contender in a title eliminator.
