Great fighters do great things.
Calzhage was not great...not even close.
Took our prime Hop. The best Hop!
One of the absolute greats. Hop not Zag. But Zag's somewhere in there further up the ladder.
"anybody from 154 to 168"
Those are the words of GG's camp.
Ward made the shut that noise down.:lol1:
Gigi wanted Ward at 164...:boxing:
HBO: Are you willing to fight each other?
GGG: Of course.
Andrea: No, my shoulder hurts.... and.. and... I... I got trouble with my pppp.. promoter!
True story.
There is a very simple reason why Mikey and Errol not fighting Cotto is not at all like what Golovkin did with Ward or Loma and Mikey.
One situation is requiring the fighter to sign a promotional contract for more fights while the other is a one fight deal.
No one was asking Loma or Golovkin to commit to 3 fights to get one.
Nice to see people actually using their brains for once, Cotto is a HOFmer. But he shouldn't be fighting all these hungry younger kids and am glad he isn't fighting them. He had his time, fought everyone that is irrelevant and now he can pick whoever he wants for his final fight.
Why would those two duck Cotto lol? they would have snap the pen off and sign to fight him, but as we all know promoters are devious, wanting those two to sign away their freedom.
Mikey Garcia was put on a shelf for 2 years just for him to get out of a contract which he didn't want, so why would he put himself in one because of a champion on his way out?
Spence has been doing it on his own from day 1, so why would he too sign his life away now? If idiots think those two are ducking Cotto then it shows who the fanboys are from the real Cotto/boxing fans.
you already know, ray.
There is no way Spence refused to fight Cotto without some B.S. attached to it like with what happened with Mikey. Spence seems ready to fight anyone and he would beat this older version of Cotto. Why miss out on a huge payday and a hall of fame name on your resume?
It's funny seeing the hypocrisy. The same fans who swear GGG "ducked" Ward and that Loma is "ducking" Mikey Garcia or Crawford are defending Spence not accepting a concrete offer and a nice 3 fight guarantee with weight class B.S. Hmmm, aren't there weight class issues with Ward-GGG, Garcia-Loma, Bud-Loma?
I do think Mikey should have taken the 3 fight deal. Cotto, then Mattheyse and Linares and then your free in 2019? That's a heck of a deal $ wise and resume wise. I am a Garcia fan but do feel he does name drop a lot knowing certain fights can't be made. He can't stay a free agent forever if he is genuinely serious about fighting big names. A 3 fight deal is a dream deal.
Not sure what Spence's reasons are but I'm sure he has them and is very loyal to PBC. He's probably angling more for Thurman than Cotto and rightly so, but the hypocrites that point fingers at others make me laugh.
low info fans at it again. same crap with the ggg ducked ward thing. he turned him down duckingggg. oh wait look at why....nah thats too hard its easier to be low information fans like trump voters
Good poster, but honestly Calzaghe was great.
Oscar is trying his damnest at an Arum impersonation. Thing is, hes not Bob...he doesn't have that level of charisma or savy to make guys willing to acquiesce.

Good post. Agreed.
I'd be OK if Cotto finished his career fighting people like Margarito, Pac, or even Mayorga. Spence is a big, strong, skillful welter and would actually enjoy the move to 154 for a fight like this.
I can't see any way Cotto beats Spence.
Sadam Ali it is!
Oscar should just STFU.
spence would put it on cotto at this point in their careers.
I like Cotto, but Spence would make him kneel again.

Cotto would of beat Spence, and YES they offer Spence the fight, ur boy didn't want to take the risk. HAHAHA
No, we don't know if Cotto would have beat Spence.
Spence has all the elements that the other 5 guys that beat Miguel had.
And some he has in more abundance.
I don't think it had anything to do with risk.
It was probably the network, money, or both.
LOL @ anybody who believes Cotto would pick a fight a Spence. Everybody knows that diva Cotto "the 154" champ was going to pick a fighter with welter weights and demand them to fight him at 157.. Cotto knows Spence would beat him. If Cotto was a real n*gga he would have called Andrade to come back to 154 and fight him.Cotto would of beat Spence, and YES they offer Spence the fight, ur boy didn't want to take the risk. HAHAHA
lol....you would love that ....instead of fighting jacobs again or actually fight jermall....youd rather it be a WW moving up for your boy golovkin
I'm not a Golovkin fan, I literally have a gif of Canelo punching and wobbling Golovkin
Wow. Same people who dislike Oscar wanting to sign Mickey for a big fight were okay with saying Pacquaio should sign up with TMT first before being allowed to fight Mr Money Floyd.
It's clear this is not about fighters' well being.
This is a goddamn Haymon is better than Hoya thing.
Or PBC is the best. Nothing at all to do with Garcia's benefit.
Kills me.
