1prodz, I don't know if you've read about Amir Khan basically bending over backwards to get Timothy Bradley in the Ring, when Tim was universally recognized as the #1 140 pounder in the world. It was Tim who declined the fight, for his own reasons. That shows that your "golden girl" statement is ridiculous.
Also, you are saying that the Zab Judah domination didn't earn him any respect, and you are asking him to fight Kendall Holt? Huh?
--
LeadUppercut, most boxing experts state that Amir is worlds above Prescott at this point. However, I disagree with you that he is irrelevant to Amir Khan. He still remains as the only man to defeat Amir, and by incredible fashion.
With that said, Khan should use his December date to get rid of Prescott. Bradley likely won't be available, so I think he should use that slot to get his revenge. Of course I would like him to face the Maidana/Guererro winner over Prescott, but he should silence those critics who always bring up Bredis' name when speaking of Khan's legacy.
(He should've fought Prescott instead of McCloskey. That McCloskey fight was a waste of time.)
I'm not a big Khan fan and I could care even less about Timmy Bradley I don't like him at all(the head butt king). Yeah I know that fighting Kendall Holt would not be the smartest move because of his limited fan base and him being an ESPN fighter but Kendall Holt is still young looks to knock his opponents out just like Guerrero and Prescott. So if khan thinks he's this killer he should fight guys with the same mentality. The Mcclosey, and judah fighters were bull*hit and if he fights Morales that fight would be bull*hit too. I also feel that golden girl is keeping khan away from Guerrero because of his limited fan base and his risk to reward factor(Or rematch Maidana if he gets the lucky win over Guerrero). See if khan would have lose to Bradley golden girl could have used excuses like the weight was a factor or were going to move up to welterweight now and fight maynever, but if khan loses to Guerrero a Mexican guy with limited fan base his stock drops real low. And if khan did lose to Guerrero it would probably be a punishing defeat because Guerrero comes to punish you.If he would have lose to Bradley it would have probably been some type of bs head butt lost or some weak split decision(I'm not even sure that Bradley even beat CON), golden girl knows what they have to do to keep grooming there UK star pupil.
Morales has loyal paying fans that a lot of current stars at 140 does not have. Khan knows it's a money fight as well as a chance to convince real boxing fans to join his bandwagon.
Beating Morales does nothing for khan, just like his wins over judah and mccloskey did nothing for khan. The only way khan gets respect is beating younger tougher opposition like Guerrero,Kendall Holt and gets his rematch and beats Prescott. There is no scenario were khan beats Morales and gets one ounce of respect, but I understand golden girl is grooming khan as a maynever opponent and trying to take the easiest path until the maynever fight.
Beating morales and Judah does nothing for khan? How about it helps him to unify and become WBA WBC and IBF champ of the world? I know you Bradley fans have got a bit of a sore arse from the ass pounding Bradley has forced you to take but please post with common sense!
Also I love the way Bradley fanboys like to include Peterson and holt as major contenders? Hahaha only cuz there on duckys resume!
Judah is no champion maybe champion of fitness and workout or getting his ass kicked in every major fight he's been in. And Morales does not own a belt I think the guy has only fought at jr. ww two or three times the only thing Morales is a champion of right now is being a has-been and washed-up. Don't let these 101 and belts in each weight division fool you. Not a big fan of Con and don't like head butt Bradley at all!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't think khan is arrogant just a bit stupid. khan talks as though he is and important figure in boxing, but nobody even cares about the guy boxing only has 5-10 boxers that the fans really care about the main three which are Pacman,Martinez, coward the duck, whoever is the hw champ and a couple others. But khan is a complete nobody his biggest wins are over judah which everybody knows is a b class stepping stone bum and wild but tough Maidana. Khan is best known for getting knocked out against Prescott.
Buddy, you're more arrogant than Haye and Floyd put together. Who the f*ck are you to say the entire 140 division is a joke? What have you accomplished to talk smack about Khan, Bradley, Maidana, Judah, Floyd and Pac? So now he has to skip welter and fight Margarito at 154 to prove himself to you? Everything to you is "big deal" like that's some kind of argument. You say Khan isn't important and no one cares about him then why the hell are you reading and commenting on this article you stupid pr*ck. Go play in traffic you f*cking jack*ss.
First off I’m not a boxer so I have not accomplished **** in boxing. Second I think khan is a bit of a hype job that has great money making ability to his promoter because it seems like he has the UK behind him, he won a silver medal and he’s young. It’s just sad that boxing is all politics and top rank vs. golden girl promotions for 1 promoter. Don’t get me wrong khan is a decent fighter with some speed and power but he is nothing special as roger mayweather describe him. Khan reminds me of an upright hahina he fights like an odd wild animal. Third in not dissing pacquiao at all he's one of my favorite fighters but it's so obvious that top rank is and was keeping Pac away from Martinez and you cannot see that you are stupid. As for fraud the duck he has Ortiz and khan on his hit list because there green they have big flags behind them and they provide fraud the duck the most amount of money from the least amount of risk. But the thing that fraud does not realize is he's 35 yrs old, I guarantee if the duck continues to fight 4 or 5 times in the next 2 years and be a real fighter someone is going to beat him weather it's Ortiz, khan, Saul Alvarez, Martinez or Pacman. And let’s get realistic Judah is a straight b class bum and got mop in every fight that really matter in his career, Bradley is a nobody and cannot even fill a 2500 auditorium and his biggest fights end because of his head, nobody wants to see that dude fight and Alexander has looked like **** in his last three fights so any argument to define them is invalid and a joke. Lastly say khan fights Morales next which would be a joke! Golden girl should really match him against the ghost vs. Maidana winner not an old wash up small Morales, but I guess golden promotions wants to play it safe until the Maynever fight materializes. Basically what I’m trying to say is how can anybody be impressed with khan if his last two opponents are a never-heard of and Judah the bum and then old Morales. All I’m asking for is real fights if khan really thinks he’s a killer fight killers like Guerrero, Kendall holt and fight guys at 150 pound catchweights like margarito and the dog Angulo not has been bums and never heard of’s. And you’re trying to tell me that a 5’9 khan cannot fight at 150 but a 5’6 pacquaio can, come on man boxing needs real fights not all these hypes up unifications of a million and 1 phony champions and hype jobs.
Are you kidding me..... I think this kid wants to be the next Sugar Ray Leonard.I think he wants to clean out the 140 division, then move on to 147, and strive to do the same thing. How can you fault a guy for that, fighting everybody?!!!? Mayweather won't fight. Sergio Martinez just wants to call our guys he outweighs by 30 pounds on fight night. Get off this kid Khans back with such stupid comments. He's done nothing but lined up Maidana and had a war, made Zab Judah quit. And he wants more. He's calling out Mayweather. He's a very respectful, likable guy, and very determined, and confident to succeed in the ring. That's very credible. He has CHARACTER. Amir Khan is not arrogant in the least bit.
The 140 pound division is a joke if he fought Bradley and beat him big deal!!! he beat judah and maidana big fuc**** deal khan needs to move up asap or fight killers like Kendall Holt,Robert Guerrero, Antonio Margarito or perro angulo all these guys are essentially the same size 5'8-5'10 . Boxing is to consumed with hype and a million and one weight divisions if khan fights and beat 36 yr.old Morales big f****** deal. And how could you say that Martinez wants to fight guys that are thirty pounds lighter Martinez is a lifelong Jr.middle and wanted to fight the two biggest names in the sport PAC-and may but they both dodged him and both fraud and PAC fought at 54 so what's the big deal. I'm a PAC fan but it's obvious arum was scared to match PAC against Martinez because of the four inch height advantage and speed and size of Martinez. But fraud just ducks anybody that seems to have a real chance to beat him, fraud is the biggest b**** that Ive ever seen enter a boxing ring.
Theire you go Fraud Roidweather, your next opponent just popped up Austin "No Doubt" Trout. You want to fight a REAL Junior middle an undefeated champion there you go. Give a Black man a chance Roidweather !! let's see if you step up to the plate or just dance your way back down to welterweight. I'm guessing fraud moves back down to welterweight.
Manny ducked both at the weight Floyd fought them at !
Would you except Floyd giving bigger guys lowering CWs to fight them ?
154 Cotto and 154 ODH are bigger challenges than Manny has ever attempted so I dont know why you praise Manny but rag on Floyd when they have followed the same path except Floyd dont force guys to be unhealthy to fight him .
You talk of prime like Floyd is always in prime lol , he is as past prime as his name opponents , only you kids do see that because Floyd won so the opponent must be past prime more than Floyd , even if Manny fights them after Floyd they were better than when Floyd fought them lol
You butt hurt kid haters are pathetic in your double standards , thats why I dont respect any Pac retards .
De la Hoya was the one that called the shots in the Pacman fight. Freddie roach saw that De la Hoya was older and couldn't pull the trigger anymore and he told Pacman take the easy fight and beat his ass. De la Hoya was already coming down to 47 for the roidweather match-up but Roids retired. So De la Hoya took the biggest money fight out their, which was Pacman Pacquaio. As for Cotto, Margarito and Manny Pacman Pacquiao beat Cotta out of the welterweight division. So Cotta moved up to see if he could get a belt off a bum with a belt Plug in (Yuri foreman). And if you really believe the 1 pound catch weight is the reason Cotto lost you need to reevaluate your boxing knowledge. Roidsweather saw the opportunity to beat damage goods and move up a few pounds and make a huge payday and he ran for it. I don't see the same urgency for Floyd-roidweather to meet Sergio Maravilla Martinez at 54. The only excuses I hear from Floyd -roid fans over the last three years is that Martinez is too big. Or why don't you tell Pacman to fight him. Floyd-roid knew that Cotto couldn't beat him if they were fighting at 100 pounds or 1000 pounds that why he ran up their quick and in a hurry to cash in on that damaged Puerto Rican fighter/flag.
Money is NOT a 154 lber....stop trying to have him go outside his weight class...even on fight night he never weight over 154.
Makavilla needs to fight the Son of God..you know SOMEONE HIS OWN SIZE.
You need to check your logic queen lala. Maynever had no problem fighting jm Marquez who was coming up two weight divisions to fight him from lightweight to ww, but is scared to dead to go up 1 weight class and fight Martinez at 154?? those type of characteristic that maynever displays are more in line with a coward instead of an all-time great. Secondly Martinez is 5ft10 a smaller middleweight and ward is 6ft1 how does that make them the same size?? Martinez and maynever are closer in height at 5'10 and 5'8.
I like Trout to win this. Time for some new blood in this sport!
Side note: i know Floyd is boxing and everyone wants to talk about him but why must jabs be taken on a thread that has nothing to do with him?!
That's the same question you need to ask when: Pac haters aka the "fraudulent crew" throw upper-cuts, straight rights, jabs, body shots and left hooks at PacMan when the thread has nothing to do about Pac.
Actually, Floyd beat Badlomir, who beat Judah, who beat Spinks, who beat Mayorga, who beat Forrest, who beat Mosley, who beat DLH. The only ones with meaningless belts are the clowns you claim Mayweather ducked. Want the lineage on those? Here goes, Williams beat Margarito, who Antonio Diaz for a vacant belt. Cotto beat Quintana for a vacant belt. See where I'm going lameo?
BTW, if beating lightweights and jr welterweights is so easy like you claim Floyd did with JMM and Hatton. Why has Pac lost his last three fights. All of which came against lightweights and jr welterweights.
OK, even though your post is pretty pathetic I'll response anyway. Baldomir and judah were wack at 47. So does that mean floyd-roid would have beaten Vernon Forrest, Antonio Margarito and Paul Williams?. And Marquez was coming up to a division and that he never fought at before welterweight. And hatton is just a punching bag. Second Pac has not lost his last three fights. And third how come floydroid didn't dominate Hatton the way Pacquaio did and demolish him inn two rounds? And how come Cotto won four rounds against Roidweather? And Pacman white washed him beat him up and dropped him twice. And how come Pacman dropped Mosley and had him not remembering rounds three to six, and floydroid gets rock to the core against Mosley how come ????? Maynever fans and there hypothetical match-ups and history.
Haye's excuse is obviously pathetic, but you keyboard warriors who rack up thousands of posts talking nonsense about fighters are infinitely more pathetic.
You must be delusional. You’re going to tell the fans not to bash Haye after one of the worst performances in the history of boxing. You must be on something; Haye just decapitated his own career. Nobody wants to see David the trash man Haye fight anybody his performance was disgusting. And if he wants a shot at the top he's going to have to like 5 straight knockouts of top 10 heavyweights. Haye performance was a complete joke and for you to try to come to his defense is sad.
juan diaz is a joke good luck with your lawyer business and your truck business but that will not go far. He should have stood and fought a couple more fights and made a few more million instead of becoming an average joe blow.
The worst case scenario would be Guerrero and Garcia.
I was thinking worst case scenario floyd-roid would have skipped an opponent from 54 or 47 and chosen a 140 pounder, in Garcia.
Because Garcia has that flag behind him. And Roid could have used Garcia in June and then called it a day for 2013. But if this announcement is true I guess they will save Garcia for 2014. If Maynever is still fighting and could somehow manage to keep his undefeated record for next year for 2013.
Marquez knows fully well that he will not have a chance against Rios, Bradley, Cotto, and any other contender. He only knows how to fight Pacquiao, and realizded that that's where the money is no matter if he wins or loses. This time he won, and he is tempted to run away with the victory and call it quits. Boxers at their highest prime would never think of retirement, only those who deteriorated, so why at his peak is he thinking of retirement? Because Bradley will kick his arse, or even Rios, and maybe Guerrero. Marquez will probably fight another Likar Ramos if he does fight again.
I think Marques has a good shot or could possibility beat many of the top 140-147 pounders out there. But I think he doesn't have the heart to do it at his age and at this time in his career. For Marques the only fighter that exist in boxing besides himself is Pacman. Here's an example if you offered Marquez 50 Mil to fight Bradley, Rios, or whoever he wouldn't go for it. But if you offered him 15 mil to fight Pacman he'll sign on the dotted line like right now. One other thing as far as Miguel Cotto goes, Marquez would beat the s*** out of him. Cotto has never beaten an elite fighter in their prime and it is highly unlikely that he ever will. Why do you think Fraud Roidsweather picked him for his only opponent of 2012. Because Roidsweather knew down right that cotto was a bum and that he could cash out on that Puerto Rican flag on Cinco de mayo. I rather pay to watch Marquez beat up Cotto, then watch Pac-Marquez 5.
loving the idiotic comments from so called boxing fans who have no idea who rhodes is. same people who dont know where europe is. who also have no idea where new york is i expect.
IF canelo beats rhodes and its a big if then you can put him in the top half of the 154 division.
i;m only expecting a canelo victory because there is NO WAY GBP, HBO and the WBC can do without a mexican superstar selling PPVs. its vital to the future of their businesses
in ANY other country - rhodes beats canelo
how does it feel it be wrong vxrandell ???
Martinez has been fighting at MW since 2009, the same year Pac won his title at WW and has since been fighting at WW and JMW.
Are you going to say that Pac is not a WW even though he's forcing smaller guys up to WW now?
Man you got some twisted logic, what about Roidweather making Juan Marquez move up to a catch-weight two weight classes and than ducking the catch-weight. And made Hatton move up to welterweight?' And by the way wasn't the 3rd Pacman-Marquez fight at 143??
The maynever camp are nothing but a bunch of bit**es. Maynever the coward finally has some balls to fight pacman after three years this is a joke. Now all of a sudden maynever ko's pacman ha ha ha. Why don't maynever focus on fight Sergio Martinez in feb. at 154 since he said he wants to fight in feb on another website than maybe he could fight pacman after that. Maynever is a nobody and cannot dictate what pacman and his team do, end of story!!!!!!!
BoxerDood is a disgrace to boxing fans. You are discrediting a pool of talent in one of the hottest divisions in boxing, simply because an "over the hill" living legend (Morales in case you're clueless) is fighting his heart out and staying competitive, keyword being "heart", aka "balls" aka "something BoxerDood will never grow". Give credit where credit is due, you clueless prick, Morales has earned it time and time again.
I got to agree with boxingdood the jr ww divsion sucks there is not 1 fighter in that division that i categorize as legendary or has the potential to become legendary. You got the best is khan and he is an OK/good fighter and second best is king head butt and Bradley those two fighters and that division leave a lot to be desired!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Golden girl keep loading the card with Mexicans to maximize Maynevers profits. I wonder how much Oscar the quitter paid Sulaiman to get Morales on the card with a shot at the wbc jr. welterweight title??? I'm guessing about a million.
Arce what??? Donaire must be on the mid thirty's midget circuit right now. Donaire needs to move up to 126 or 130 and fight some younger tougher bigger guys because he's dwarfing most of his recent opponents that have one foot out the door already.
My man, it's not that hard to draw conclusions based off of the given facts. I got a weather app on my iPhone that tells me what's to come based of the facts already given to it. If they tell me it'll snow tomorrow, 9 times outta 10, it'll snow. It's not set in concrete that it will, but it's highly likely for that to be the outcome. Much like the Mayweather Pacquiao fight....On paper, Mayweather washes Pacquiao..but fight's are not won on paper, I never implied that they are. What I'm arguing is for you guys to use your logic and admit, that on paper given the facts that we know about their fighting styles, Pacquiao is most likely going to lose that fight....you guy's are just using emotion.
I never said that floydroidweather jr would not beat Manny "mp" Pacquaio. Even in pac's prime at 47 from (2009-2011) Floydroid was the Favorite to beat him in betting books. I only said floydroid was scared of Pacman just like he's scared of Martinez. And by the way is Roidweather a Jr. middle or a WW? or just an opportunist that looks for the guy with the biggest flag, that will be the easiest fight, that will bring him the most amount of money?
The Hatton that fought yesterday still annihilates crushes and bruises Malignalli's and put's him in truck. The Berto-malignalli fight is a good match up for Berto to beat up St.Paulie girl. And then maybe have a unification rematch with the ghost after the ghost beats up Maidana.
This is some of the truest **** that Roidweather sr has ever spoken. Roidweather jr. is getting up in age and his day is coming to an end soon. There is no way Roidsweater can keep talking 1 or 2 yrs off at a time and coming back and beating hungry younger guys. Plus his picking are getting slimmer and slimmer. And I cannot wait for the day that someone gives Fraud Roidweater his first "L" so he could get out of boxing and retire already. The dude is holding up the parade and needs to get out of line already, with his smoke screens his idiotic comments about certain fighters and his constant ducking and dodging etc etc etc. Get lost Roidsweather!
Fair enough. However Alvarez is the only one who can f*ck this up. If he declines to fight Trout then it looks bad when Floyd fights Alvarez because we know he will, it’s just a matter of when and what did Alvarez do previously. Right now, nothing great and is only a money fight.
With a Trout win (not assuming he would win but just saying), would make a huge difference in the build up to Mayweather vs Alvarez which is now the biggest money making fight since Pac is no longer in the running next year (or IMO never has, at least not until it is Pac's very last fight).
First of why are you even coming up with your delusional match-making???
Second is Floyd-Roid a Welterweight or a Jr. middle weight???
