You are both right, my bad :pat:
No it wasn't. Apparently you're too stupid to realize that Hatton wore red gloves for the Pacquiao fight.
In the Pacquiao fight Hatton was wearing red gloves and referee Kenny Bayless was wearing blue latex gloves. Those are Joe Cortez's wrinkly hands in the pic. Sucka.
GBP and Cotto promotions are the biggest losers here. Everyone has already forgot that Cotto and Kamegai fight that same night. Everyone will be watching the Mayweather fight and won't pay any attention to the Cotto fight. Cotto is F#cked!

At this moment definitely not, Mikey has only shown superior skills against mediocre opposition.
JMM has shown superior technical skills against hall of famers and all time greats (Barrera, Pacquiao and others)
Floyd's chin and his recovery are amazing. He has been hit with some tough punches but was never knocked down due to them. Maybe the Judah one? But that time, his glove touched the ground and it is not like he went down and off of his feet. TB(Chin)E??
Floyd needs to absolutely stop Conor in an impressive fashion. This alone will get all of the "casuals" to watch boxing again and bring boxing back to the mainstream popular sport it once was.
If Conor wins, then all of these casuals and even boxing fans will turn to the UFC and other MMA brands as they have been.
This "fight" is definitely hurting boxing already. Every boxing fan and or casual has looked up who McGregor is and watched his highlights and have taken an interest to MMA. That combined with the corrupt judges/referees/promotors in our sport, in my opinion, it is turning people away from boxing.
Broner is no legend or even close to it. The titles he received at the lower weight classes was because he used to come in way bigger than the guys he fought and the one time he stepped up in competition at the lower weight classes, he lost but was gifted a decision (Ponce de Leon). Then he lost to Malignaggi but again was gifted a decision for the belt. He was supposed to be the next PPV star but just doesn't have what it takes to complete at the elite level.
He is entertaining for sure and I will be tuning in to his fights, but lately it doesn't seem like he even wants to fight anymore. He used to be flashy and entertaining in the ring, now he is just flat footed and his heart is not in it.
As a boxing fan, I feel this tarnishes his legacy. He could have gotten his 50-0 fighting someone like Spence, Thurman, Bradley, Broner, or even a rematch with Pacquiao. Or even have Crawford move up to 147 and fight him since he is still a little green like he did with Canelo. Spence and Thurman would be the only threats out of of all of them, but I can see Floyd still gettting the W. And as if his last opposition wasn't bad enough (Berto), he is now going to get his 50 - 0 by fighting a guy with a 0-0 record and has no chance to win...
I'll take Who is Andre Ward for 500..
All kidding aside, he is an undefeated champion, and honestly a wasted talent! He could have easily gone after the top 175ers and beat them all and cement his legacy. I kind of agree with JCC SR because he doesn't have too many memorable fights and he didn't dare to be great, which could have been.
Now if he comes back, fights and stops a heavyweight champ, like Roy Jones did, then that would put him up there. Otherwise 10 years from now, he will be "Andre Ward who? Oooh low blow champ!" lol
Mosley was PI$$ED too...he couldn't hurt Shane because he hardly landed a clean shot...Shane beat absolute fvck out of that cheating cyclops pr1ck and then Manny finished him off...ive never enjoyed watching a man get hurt so much in my life watching both fights...pure justice.
:lol1: yes he was pissed! If you look at the fight, Margarito landed a few good shots but with no effect on Mosley whatsoever!
Some people are still in complete denial about this. Margarito had just KOed Cotto, and Cotto was undefeated at that time and no one had anything for him. Margarito's next fight was with Mosley, 37 years old at the time, when he was caught with the wraps. He was hurting everyone before Mosley, but all of a sudden, he couldn't even beat a worn out Mosley, let alone hurt him? After the wrap scandal he has not KOed anyone! He was ballsy enough to try and put the wraps on while Naseem was watching. You guys forget that they made him take off the original wraps, because they were finished wrapping him with Naseem came in, then they tried to wrap him again with plaster in front of Naseem. If he was confident enough to do it in front of him, then surely he has done it in the past. There is a documentary where a guy states he is blind in one eye because Margarito had used plaster on him during sparring.
It was a 50/50 fight, I gave the edge to Ward, but wouldn't have been upset if they gave the fight to Kovalev. Does Kov get praised for going against the almighty "son of God" Ward?
Jeff Horn is Ranked and has won titles for the WBA, WBO and IBF. 16 fights and is undefeated.
McGregor is not even ranked, does not have any professional boxing matches and is going against the most sound fighter in boxing right now. Mayweather is going to toy with him. Complete mismatch!
I don't see this fight happening. Too big of a risk for Flanagan and there is no reward in it for him. If anything, he will take the fight with Linares. It is the best option for both and it will happen in the UK.
Against who? Subpar opponents! Mikey is a good fighter but his three recent come back fights was nothing to get excited about! Broner talk so much sh*t that people believe he's a elite fighter but far from it! Let Mikey step up & face some real elite fighters like Crawford, Thurman, Spence, etc. & don't give me the bullsh*t that Mikey is too small when in reality, Mikey is too big for 135. Mikey should be at 140 or 147 but he's not ready for 147 & never will be so 140 is where he should be!
Agree 100%, he can't see any of the elite 147lbs right now. But I would like to see him face the likes of Porter, Postol, Garcia or even Mathysee just to see where he stands in those divisions.
What does Oscar's loyalty as a fighter have to do with him as a promoter? Oscar outgrew his promoter and went and did his own thing. Canelo should do the same thing, maybe he is just looking for excuses to leave Golden Boy. Then to mention his team, his trainers are loyal and turn around and sign their fighter to someone other than Golden Boy? Yeah that sure is loyalty right there! Or how about when he left his small time promoter for Golden Boy when he was a nobody? Loyalty again lol Too much drama.
Charlo just moved to middle so he can't be a mandatory anything till Charlo proves himself.
Exactly! Was the WBC paid off by haymon? How is it that Charlo, only having one fight in the division, is now a mandatory for the title? He is definitely a good boxer and has power, but how does he deserve a title fight when he fought no one?
The same could be said about Canelo though, he has not fought anyone at 160 to earn him a shot at all of the titles, but I guess since he is the cash cow, everyone wants to fight him for a big payday.
Both of these guys need to fight proven 160lb fighters such as Jacobs, Lemiux and others before getting title shots. But hey our sport is the most corrupt one out there and is definitely money driven.
Seems like Mikey is looking past Broner and is not taking him serious. That may be a big mistake on his part, although Broner has no dedication and is flat footed, I wouldn't count him out. Anything can happen when you have punching power, and Broner has it.
No mention of Broner? I thought that would be the next fight for sure. Both of them coming off of loses and it would be an entertaining fight for sure!
No it isn't moron. Over 135 is 10oz. If the fighters agree they can wear 8oz for 140 and 147 fights. I posted the rules ffs. :dunce:
