How many times do you see fighters actually follow through with their pre-fight promises/threats? example:
"I will retire Vitali Klitschko"
"I will beat Shane Mosley worse than Vargas"
"I will KO so and so in spectacular fashion"
"You will see the real me come September 4th, i will KO him within 5"
I usually find that the fighters who make these big calls usually end up having
a shit fight and end up going the distance etc.
"I guarantee you: he's getting knocked out. He's talked the talk. Now I'm going to show him what it's like to be in with the best."
-FMJ when the Hatton fight was announced.
He did just that
"i will beat oscar brutally. it's going to be pure excitement"
gayweather.
:grumble:
"i will beat oscar brutally. it's going to be pure excitement"
gayweather.
none of the above happened i left the fight in thr 8th round to go to my ex girls crib.
he isnt so slow it was cotto, he was at the top of his game that night really speedy
he only took round 1 off at round 2 he started laying the smackdown on cotto
if u wanna see margarito start slow check out the williams fight
Cotto has improved with his boxing skills, he has a good jab now. i was impressed with Margarito tho, good stuff, he broke Cotto's will. Why did Cotto just take a knee like that and not even protect himself when he was going down?
"you give me the opportunity jay nady gave trinidad against fernando vargas and you let me keep pounding and pounding and i'm going to send his head into the 12th row. i will pound and hurt."

Anymore from Diego Corrales? R.I.P

"I told my corner I would wear him down and then knock him out." - Margarito on the Cotto fight. He called it ahead of time and did it.
"If I lose this fight I'll be a laughingstock." - Tarver on the Hopkins fight. lol
Haha, good ol' bubble gum lips.
To the Margarito quote: Yeah, he did just that, i was impressed with Cotto's boxing skills during the first few rounds, he has improved alot since the last time i seen him fight against Judah. It was the first time i seen Margarito fight, i thought he was in trouble during the first few rounds, untill he started to come on with flurries and flush uppercuts to wear cotto out. So Margarito is a true slow starter? he always fights like that?

Haha, Good one. who pointed that out?
Haha, well he actually must have been ill, "no mas, no mas" :boxing:
he never said , "no mas" that's boxing myth.
what he said was something like , "i'm not fighting this dumb clown anymore."
"look at that guy. (LAUGHS) i've seen bowlers in better shape."
