Lmao @ Gregory Leon

i dont even go on boxing talk anymore unless i am extremely bored and just want to laugh at something

Ishe should have been off the air after the contender. If it wasnt for G Leon we wouldnt even know who Ishe Smith is. Even after a loss, he takes pride in the fact he gets them right back on TV. GLeon does what he can for his fighters, you have to give him that.

What's really funny is that, in another letter, a reader asks G. Leon what happened to a certain writer on the site. He just brushes it off by saying something like, "I can't be bothered worrying about anyone but me. I'm on my grind." Hey buddy, the site is your grind too! And I'd wanna know what would happen if one of my writers just stopped writing. But I guess judging from the quality of articles and the sh*tty interviews lately, he doesn't care anymore. Seriously, who the fukk interviews Roy Jones and asks him a whole bunch a questions about DLH. Talk about the fight, d*ck! Please. RJJ was on national TV (ESPN) months ago talkng about Oscar. This was MONTHS ago and hes still calling him out. Joe T asks Roy who he wants and RJJ said Oscar. Joe looks at him like wtf thats pathetic. "Really Roy are you serious?". Yes!. "Well what about the money issue roy, that always seems to come up with you?" Roy Jones shaking his head like a black woman" We could work it out!!!" Im not making this up, it was on Friday Night Fights a while back.

You are on some serious drugs. I understand the commercial sense for Ishe to fight Cotto…But come on, you think he would pick up more than a pay check against cotto !!! Seriously man. I would have picked Cotto to turn around and beat Ishe 30 minutes after being beat down by Margs… your crazy…AM Leon's Response: How did you know? You have to be to deal with this business 24 hours a day. Yes I think he would pick up more than a paycheck against Cotto. Styles make fights. I have to agree with the other guy there, boxing adages like "styles make fights" wouldn't help Smith much once he got in the ring with Cotto.

Here's another classic from Leon You are on some serious drugs.

Fucking agreed.... I was like wtf garbage interview is this?! If anyone would know reedickyaluss.

Ishe is a solid fighter. I thought he beat Julio. That said, unless your name is Floyd Mayweather, you dont outbox Miguel Cotto. In fact I think he's a boxer's kryptonite. Because he can cut off the ring as well as anyone in the sport.

The best chance for someone like him to beat Cotto would be in his next fight, in case Cotto is still shell shocked or lacking in confidence. I'd expect Arum to find a reliable but beatable Mexican welter like Delvin Rodriguez or Soto-Karass to fill that role instead. The one thing Ishe has going for him in getting this fight is his utter lack of punching power. Delvin Rodriguez is dominican

yeah man. .but dont u think its a step back for cotto... ?? if for some reason he finds a way to look bad his stocks will go down... i will go for a more significant fight.... Beating Smith is a step up from getting stopped by Margarito, that's for sure. Cotto fighting Smith is no more a step back than Barrera fighting Paulie Ayala after losing to Pacquiao or Klitschko fighting Eliecer Castillo after being stopped by Brewster. All it takes is one smashing performance to put Cotto right back into the picture.

At the end of the day, fighters coming off losses aren't trying to fight guys with the best of credentials. Smith fits that bill because he's not dangerous but has been on TV before. I just think HBO will be hesitant after Smith stunk up the joint against Sechew Powell last time they had him on. yeah man. .but dont u think its a step back for cotto... ?? if for some reason he finds a way to look bad his stocks will go down... i will go for a more significant fight....

u beat me there... :boxing: end of thread! At the end of the day, fighters coming off losses aren't trying to fight guys with the best of credentials.

Did Hassine Cherifi deserve a payday with Tito Trinidad? If HBO will accept it, he deserves it enough I guess. u beat me there... :boxing: end of thread!

LOL @ Ishe "I couldn't even win the contender" Smith beating Miguel Cotto. In what world? Leon is just trying to live the American Dream because he knows good and damn well Ishe will get RUINED by Cotto.

AN email from a fan to g. leon.. on him trying to push ishe smith vs cotto.. Ishe beats Cotto because styles make fights? What kind of cliché is that? Would that be the same “style” that has recorded 2 Ko’s in the last five years! Last time I checked Miguel Cotto was a touch better than Carlos De La Cruz and Oscar Gonzalez. That is the most ridiculous prognostication I have ever read. That fight would go off at -10,000 Cotto. That advice will land Ishe in the hospital and a guaranteed retirement party. I pray that fight never happens. Cut bait- I’d be shocked if he lands on Friday night fights and a 10k payday. Leon's Response: Ishe has a chance to beat Cotto because styles make fights. Cotto isn't going to have the easiest time finding him and if Ishe counters effectively when he makes Cotto miss, he's very capable of outboxing him. That fight would land Ishe more money than he's ever made before while getting him one step closer to a title shot. Taking the fight would be a no brainer, I'm not sure the Cotto people will accept, but I am sure that the Bobfather and I have spoken about it more than once so we'll find out. ***************** this mother fucker attacks again... he thinks he knows more than anyone... with his shitty consultant group :lol1: its not so crazy to say that ishe has a chance, however small that chance is. leon is just trying to get fights for the guys who pays for his advice. everything he says about the fighters he advises should be taken with a grain of salt.

I always read those too. That's where I found out about the divorce between his site and this one. LOL so did I and I work for this site. Divorce? If they were sister sites, did that make the merger incest?

I only read Doug Fischer's mailbag, very knowledgeable in boxing and old school hip hop. There's just a much friendlier vibe going on there. I always read those too. That's where I found out about the divorce between his site and this one.

We all know what Smith is about, he's never going to be marketable, he's never going to be a world class contender. He had a good showing in his last fight upsetting a guy who can't fight, why hold him back from tough challenges when it's no secret that he has a ceiling on his future already? Cash him out is much more productive than having him run up a meaningless win streak on the West Virginia circuit. Like Leon or not, you have to admit that putting Barrett and Smith in with the opponents he has in the last two fights was pretty smart. He knew what most knew, that those guys were garbage and exploited that. Because of the publicity he got, Leon may ultimately be judged by the success he has with Allan Green.
