You know, all these damn Floyd topics all the time cooled me off boxingscene for a while. Hopefully it will die down a bit after the Hatton fight. I love Floyd but people getting all hyper about him has been annoying.
there's chicks there? i was just joshin by the way.
Bleh, too many people ask to see my boobs for me to tell when it's a joke. Anyhow, I'd rather talk about boxing than anything having to do with my gender so back to the topic please.
Oscar was a natural lightweight, Hopkins is a natural light heavyweight. Hopkins defeating Oscar means absolutely nothing for that reason.
De La Hoya was by far the better fighter. He didn't need to cheat with headbutts and holding opponents' arms the way B-Hop did, because he was a far more skillful boxer.
To my understanding DHL has quite a few more controversial wins than Hopkins. I am not enough of a boxing expert to be able to name the fighters, hwever I have seen some big fights in which DHL was given the win. I don't believe I have seen the same for Hopkins.
All the Mayweather threads are a good part of why I don't look at Boxingscene too much anymore. Yes I am a fan, I think he is a very skilled fighter. I just can't stand to read the same haters and the same nuthuggers arguing over the same guy every freaking day. Neither group is able to maintain its objectivety and both often come across as if they have lost touch with reality.
Here is what I have gotten from this thread:
All Muslims are terrorists, lets kill them all then suck G.W.Bushes cock. All Muslims are terrorists, lets kill them all then suck G.W.Bushes cock.

Wow, now that is awfully ridiculous. It is a good thing that our founding fathers were willing to speak out against the government, otherwise there would be no United States of America. Good thing the lot of you weren't in charge. We would still be an English Colony. Don't speak out against the government! Don't say the soldiers are wrong to kill and torture civilians! There are no civilians in war! Taking so much pride in death, merely because the person is not of the same orgin as you.
I am glad that I am one of the few who still question. Without people like me we would not have a democracy. Though since Gore won the popular vote in 2000 I guess we don't even have that anymore. I go to rallies because I give a shit. WTF do you assholes do other than tell people with opposing view points that they are unamerican and that they should leave. What the hell does that solve? NOTHING!
he will be hotter in your eyes in 2 years time when he is a famous World Champ ;)
I know how you gold digger chicks work :D
You little turd. Whoever the hell he is, he just got a whole lot uglier. Uni-brows and busted up faces don't do it for me no matter how much money they might have in the bank.
Something we should do something about. Instead people support Bush for his humanitarian mission to save the oil and rebuilding contracts in Iraq. WTF! Why in the hell did we not help people who actually needed it. Sure Hussien was a murdering bastard but at least Iraq was not in complete chaos when he was in charge. Most Iraqi's would rather he was in charge still than have us there. Unfortunately we killed that, and people still support someone so greedy they don't care how much blood is on their money?
Soldiers are great. They want to go to college. They want to have jobs. They want to support their families. Some of them even want to be soldiers for the rest of their lives. Are they somehow more entiled to "support" than the people living and dying in Iraq? Why? Because they signed up to go to war at a point in time when it has been made very obvious that the reasons for that war are false. I should support someone who knowingly puts his life on the line to make a few corporations richer? Yeah, that is really worth the 3,497 American lives. 3,497 Americans have died in order to make a few rich ass peope even richer. That sure as hell pisses me off. What pisses me off even more is the amount of Iraqi's that have died. The numbers aren't even comparable. Over half a million Iraqi's are somehow worth less to some of you than 3,497 dead US soldiers. How in the hell is that ok? Oh wait I know, it is because they are muslims, so they must also be terrorists. That means it must be ok to kill every last one of them. That means it is ok for us not to demand our congressmen do something about the tragedies that are happening in the Darfur region. None of this is about protecting the American people, it is only about greed, and that is all it ever was.
Tell that to the kids growing up in Iraq that write American troops thank you cards for saving there families from the Jihadists. Turn off your fucking homosexual liberal news stations and read. It is just now being reported that America and the tribesmen of Iraq are coming together to fight the jihadists together.
Saying stupid ass shit like, "were over there for ABSOLUTELY NO REASON BLAH BLAH BLAH" is retarded. Keep your stupid liberalistic views contained to petitioning for PETA and making sure Christianity dies in America.
What about all the kids that have been forced to leaves their homes in order to not die in the crossfire? Thousands of Iraqi's flee to Syria alone every month, not to mention those that immigrate to other parts of Europe. Do they send thank you notes to soldiers for destroying their homes? What about the 655,000 dead Iraqi's do they send thank you notes to the US soldiers? What about all those who have been maimed in the crossfire, do they send thank you notes? In 2003 at the start of the occupation there was a population roughly of 38million people in Iraq. If thousands have fled every month for nearly 2 years and over 1/2 a million have been killed, how long until no Iraqi calls Iraq home?
I never said we were there for no reason. I stated very plainly the reason there is a US military presense in Iraq. MONEY! Not because the administration ever wanted to help, if that was the case we would have a military presense in the Sudan rather than Iraq. We would be preventing mass rape and murder in the Darfur region. Did you even open the link I posted? I don't think you did, otherwise you might understand my anger that we did not help those who needed it before it escalated into the terrible thing it has become. Since they actually need help, what with the genocide and all. But hey, it isn't like our government actually cares about the extermination of a people. It is all about the green.
When did I ever say anything about Christianity? WTF does that have to do with this conversation? Oh and there is a reason the founding fathers came up with the first amendment. They saw it as very necessary to be able to speak out against the government.
Ummm, sorry Mr Vanesboxing but the guy is not hot. Whether he does well enough with ladies to have his picture taken with them or not.
EDIT: I'm not saying he is ugly either, just a little better than average. Nothing special by a long shot.
I just don't understand how many god damn, and sorry for using this word, pussies, come to Amnesty and claim that what were doing in Iraq is 100% wrong. No, it isn't wrong. If it was wrong the American people would not have put up with it for this long. 655,000 dead Iraqi's you say and how many do you believe are civilians, probably more than 50%, right? How many do you believe died before the war?
You know, we did not go to Iraq because Hussein was killing his people. That was an after thought after all of the other reasons that the Admin gave turned out to be false. Those numbers were compiled by what up until it realised those stats was considered a reliable scientific source, DOCTORS. Numbers are from The Lancet(a medical magazine) their death toll estimates have always been acceptable before. Now they researched and found a number higher than anyone expected and suddenly they are no longer a reliable source. "The Lancet study is sound science. The study followed a strict, widely accepted methodology to arrive at its sobering conclusion. The study is being attacked not on scientific grounds but for ideological reasons. People may not realize that The Lancet is the world’s most prestigious medical journal. Prior to publication, the Iraq study was subjected to a thorough peer review by specialists in the field of epidemiology." ~Source of quote It is a death estimate from March 2003 to July 2006. Before the invasion of our military it was an estimated 143,000 deaths per year.
"• Estimated 654,965 additional deaths in Iraq between March 2003 and July 2006
• Majority of the additional deaths (91.8 percent) caused by violence
• Males aged 15-44 years accounted for 59 percent of post-invasion violent deaths
• About half of the households surveyed were uncertain who was responsible for the death of a household member
• The proportion of deaths attributed to coalition forces diminished in 2006 to 26 percent. Between March 2003 and July 2006, households attributed 31 percent of deaths to the coalition
• Mortality data from the 2006 study reaffirms 2004 estimates by Hopkins researchers and mirrors upward trends measured by other organizations
• Researchers recommend establishment of an international body to calculate mortality and monitor health of people living in all regions affected by conflict" ~Source of quote
Anyhow, I think I am done here. No point trying to tell the lot of you anything.
Dude, Catherine lives in California. She is a lost cause.
Fuck off.
This is probably the most Brokeback thread ever....
Unlike the usual would you do this boxer threads disguised as would your girl do this boxer, an actual female has posted in this one. So I am sure it is not near "brokeback" as some, hehe!
I can't stand the guy either. He always say the same things over and over. I don't think he even tries to translate anything. Fortunately one of the people that I usually see fights with speaks some spanish and he translates if it is importat.
I like Vic. He is fun to watch. His style is very interesting to say the least, but it works out rather well for him. I hope to see a match up between him and Arce at some point soon. That would be a good fight, neither man backs down.
I am rather upset that I can't go to my usual place to watch the fights this weekend. That looks like a nice card, and I have to miss out. Stupid traffic court.
I usually go in with a group of people for fights. So fortunately I would not have to choose. I have no idea which I would pick.
I don't think there is a need for a rematch of PBF vs ODH. At the same time there could be many reasons for some people to argue in favor of it. I am not sure that Floyd will give Oscar the same respect in the ring if there was a rematch. That could make it even more interesting than the first fight.
I like defensive fights, but wars are fun to watch too.
PAC vs MAB sounds very intruging, but I am not certain it would be the war expected by some. Barrera has been trying to fight "smart" lately. His last fight literally put me to sleep. I know that would not happen with Pac Man in the ring, but still.
I have to say I think Judah is the one that really landed the best clean punches. He actually took that fight seriously. It is a shame that Judah seems to see fights as a joke. He could be so good if he would just stop messing around. He is wasting his talent away.

With you on that one, bro. I think Arce would fight him now, he needs to a big fight to prove himself after his last loss.
I completely agree. It would be nice if those two would finally fight.
Mosley and Hatton are the only two choices really. I'd rather he fight Hatton to beat the legit 140 champ (something he hasn't done) to solidify his claim of beating the best in each division. If he beats Mosley people will only knock it as Shane being "past his prime".
I kind of agree. What can I say though, I want to see him fight Mosley. It would be a great fight, and who cares if people go on about Shane being past it afterwards. I can deal with that in exchange for a sitting on the edge of my seat knuckle biter fight.
COme on Fools...
Its Gatti...
The way he was Hitting Floyds gloves with His face all night long was pugilistic brilliance..:lol1:
Hehe!!! That's exactly right!
I don't bash Taylor. I am just not convinced by him as of yet. I am also a bit bitter about his "wins" over Hopkins. After he fought Ouma I had an even greater respect for Ouma's willpower than I had before.
Was the service in Sac?
I would have gone if it had been. Corrales is the reason I became a boxing fan, other than the friend who showed me the fight anyhow. If I didn't have so many knitting projects going already I would have made his mother something. The problem would have been finding out where to send it.
