RJJ would have probably beaten DM in his prime. DM was to much of a plodder for RJJ. Both of those guy's deserve stick for not making that fight, and leaving unanswered questions. That was the fight everyone wanted to see at light heavyweight, and it never happened for whatever reason. That's the story for the second half of RJJ's career really. There were plenty of fights he should have made, which he didn't.
Eastman's promoter said that if Taylor doesn't take the elimination fight with Eastman, the WBC will enforce the fight between Hopkins v Eastman.
So if Hopkins keeps to his principals, like he has done before. He will have to take on Eastman.
There is no way Hopkins uses steroids, he just stays in shape all year round. However, there are guy's who do cheat. Vargas and Mosley have been mentioned, although Mosley hasn't never bee caught. So therefore it's unclear if he's a cheat or not. RJJ got busted before, and got off with a crappy 500 dollar fine.
The announcement won't be that big, because there are no big fights out there that we don't already know about. It's either gonna be Tito, Sturm, Eastman or Wright.
Personally none of those fights interest me except Eastman, and that's only because i'm British.
Don King has been/is screwing part of boxing. Another large part has been and is screwed by Arum. The rest has been/is screwed by the rest of their ilk. It's a gang bang!!! ;) :) And we fans get all the gooo! :eek:
That pretty much sums it up.
Boxing has become a minority sport, because of all the shit that goes on. Sports like Tennis and Golf get more coverage than Boxing. Even when the sports news is reported, Boxing will only get a little segment, if at all.
Corruption, PPV, multiple titles, greedy boxers etc have ripped the spine out of boxing.
McCline doesn't have a chance in hell at unifying the titles. He's alot like Michael Grant in that he has all the physical tools, but he's mentally weak. Byrd will find a way to beat McCline tomorrow night.
Butt-Talk.Vomit has done you a favour. That site is full of shit. How can a fucking boxing site charge people for boxing news and interviews? The same old shit comes out of boxers mouth's most of the time anyway.
Paysite's = Cancer.
They banned me and took away my year long membership, because I was posting links to their videos (which were free or accessible without me even logging in) and they threw some big harrade of a fit over it and banned me permantely.....They are a joke, I have emails if people wish to read them.
Yeah, post them here.
Howard Eastman has been royally fucked screwed here. He's been waiting for his shot for an eternity. All of a sudden Sturm will likely get his shot first, and Tito gets ranked ahead of Eastman in the WBC's rankings.
Jose Sulaiman is a fat piece of shit, DK/money is why Tito has been moved into the number one position.
The politricks of boxing have totally ruined the sport. :mad:
