the end of everything.

Yeah, I mean, a couple of boxing poster's boys were destroyed, but the thing is....Hopkins and Margarito deserved it. The true boxing fans can't begrude them victories. I mean, I love Cotto and Pavlik, two of my fave fighters, but ultimiately, they were beaten by two fighters who fought their asses off and deserve the plaudits. It's hard to take immediately after the fight, but you get over it. That's the beauty of boxing. Shit like this can happen. it can happen, but it usually doesn't. great fighters are never horribly outclassed and brutally KO'd in their prime the way Pavlik and Cotto were. this is why Cotto and Pavlik should never ever be mentioned as great fighters. Roy didn't lose until late in his career prime Hopkins didn't lose a fight Mayweather never lost a fight those guys are the great fighters of our generation, not guys like Cotto and Pavlik. there is such a huge gap in greatness there, it's ridiculous to even suggest Cotto or Pavlik could stand a chance against a prime Mayweather and Hopkins respectively

This is one of the funniest threads to come out of this fight. I was expecting an avalanche of threads like these but there hasn't been as many as I have seen previously after a big fight. It is a good one though, LAMO who'd have thought that it would be the end of boxing because Pavlik lost. It's a sad day. lolz

anybody who truly believed Cotto and Pavlik were future greats doesn't know shit about this sport. check any of my posts. I said all along neither of them was that special. good, solid quality fighters, but great? **** no

When people post these kinds of theards i think it show there ignorance to boxing. They have a low boxing history IQ. And they may be burnt out with boxing cause there favoirtes have lost. Boxing is going great. Calzaghe beat Hopkins so what are you making Hopkins a king for? Dawson the real top contender at Light Heavyweight is still waiting for Hopkins to give him a shot. Hopkins v. Pavlik took place at 175 a few divisions out of where Pavlik dominates at. Im sure it'll be a shock for you when Pacquiao gets ko'd by Delahoya. Relax, you think boxing died when Ali beat Foreman. When Randell beat Chavez, no boxing keep going strong at other weights. I think you need to follow all of boxing weight or at least try too. Jr. Bantiem weight right now is a very dangerous divison and if you aint' excited about Mijares v. Vic then against it exposes you as a fan who only watchs certain fighters.listen, thoseguys are old.they're on there last legs and only in it for the money.there's no new blood pumping threw getting showcased.why is it so hard for people to see? how many times have hop, oscar, and tito said they' where retiring? you think pac is fighting any longer after the pac fight? aside from maybe a hatton fight? who's boxing's frontman? who?and do me a favor don't insult my intelligence.its the truth. and din't i say pac was getting ko'd by oscar? or did you just look at the part where i said marga don't have that it factor and got right on replying to that?

you're right, its a zombie but instead of brains they're after money.

boxing will never die

jambo shut the fuck up.the point is boxing needs superstars, its a singular athlete sport.its life blood are the superstar fighters like tiger woods is in golf, like sharapova in tennis understand dumbass?.look at bumass oscar, he's the top dog according to anyone who knows jackshit, who in the past would know who ray leonard was.if no one knows them, nobody will give a shit about boxing.dickhead.

Who gives a flying shit if Margarito has an IT factor. This is boxing not cunting american Idol.

Margarito definitely does have an IT factor. ok, where the hell has he been? has he capitalized on it? dude aint got the superstar quality.

oh yeah, music sucks, cinema sucks, the economy sucks.......................

Margarito definitely does have an IT factor.

i think its safe to say boxing is fucking dead.:lol1:pavlik, the assumed future poster boy of boxing lost to a geezer.cotto, another assumed super star lost to margarito, who lets be real, doesn't have that it factor( not to say robotto had it in spades, but he was a supposed future super star). oscar is going to fight, and beat manny, the supposed p4p best. the klitchsko's run heavyweight, they're the 2 best heavyweights, and they happened to be brothers, who won't fight each other. with out any outstanding superstar prospect on the horizon to think of, for instance, in the mold of a ray leonard, with charisma to match the skill; i think its safe to say boxing is on its death bed. beep........................................................ beep........................................................ beep........................................................ beep........................................................ beep........................................................ today should be a day of mourning for boxing. even though hopkins quite possibly pushed his way into top 15 p4p all time, and the greatest middleweight of all time IMO (by humiliating the current young power punching middleweight champ) there's no denying that last night was an aweful night for boxing. with that said, congratulations to b-hop, and R.I.P. boxing. should I hand you a pair of flowers???
