I think that makes an interesting fight i think Dawson looked very skillful in his last fight. He hurt Tarver several times (to the body) as did Hopkins. He also has got the speed and fluid combos that could keep Hopkins guessing himself. I think its a pick me fight but i give the slight edge to Bhop still because of his ability to infight and his sucess with southpaws. Peace out
heavy-dont care Haye maybe
Lightheavy- RJJ, BHOP
supermiddle-Taylor
welterweight-Cotto/floyd if he comes back
LW-Pacman
Feather-Gamboa
Jrfeather-Vasquez
He's going on a RJJ route... sad...
No he's not Roy put on 25 pounds or so of muscle to get to heavy. Pacman is just fighting at his natural weight instead of 135. He might put on a few pounds of muscle but nothing to worry about. He was weight drained before as well. Peace
Roy looked very sharp and so does Joe but i think Roy is gonna pull the upset. He is moving good there i think if he fights moving back and setting traps and then explodes like he did with those hooks Cal could be in trouble. Peace
on a side note watch how many times Cal walks foward with his hands down in the Hopkins fight, Jones is quick enough to catch him. Peace
This all just points to how bad roy wants to fight already. i really believe roy will be the best he has been in years and may shock Cal in the process. Dont blink i got a feeling Roy is gonna go for broke in this fight. Peace
If Margarito couldn’t KO how will weak chinned Cotto
Cotto does not have a weak chin but anymeans he took alot of hard shots that is no longer true. He also took good shots from Judah, and Mosley. He had weight issues his chin is good. And Cotto is a beast he just fought the wrong fight against Margarito he uses the jab more, stays off the ropes he wins. Williams would be a good fight but to say he will crush Cotto no way.
Scratch, Delahoya, Trinidad and Hopkins.
RJJ yes.
no doubt dlh. Is this the same Dlh who lost to PBF 3 weight classes above his natural weight. LOL Trinidad no way hopkins and RJJ maybe.
difference between J L Castillo ,Jesus Chavez is Margarito is 154lbs naturally and hit a lot harder and he is physically stronger
you think Floyd would get away with fighting off the ropes?no chance he would get hammered on the ropes he would have to keep moving and that would take energy i can easily see Margarito catching up with him late he may not win but Floyd would not have it all his own way by UD
Nah Floyd would never go to the ropes Margarito comes foward but Floyd would use footwork to win this fight. He stays in the middle of the ring and pot shots Margarito early alot of the stomach. By mid rounds the punches are taking just enough effect to slow Margarito down and Floyd boxes to a ud. Not without a few scary moments.
I think this is gonna make Roy dig that much more at the final presser Enzo looked at Roy and said my son is gonna whoop your ass. The look on Roy was classic, he was like ok now im gonna bust this kid up. Roy is keeping quiet but he looks anxious to get into that ring.
Very sad indeed you can say what you want about Hopkins, he has had his dry moments but this is touching. Everyone has moments were they look emotionless but this shows that Hopkins has a good heart. I got chocked up reading this. RIP
He has been knocked down but not badly hurt. And i think he will have learned from that. Also he goes crazy because he is not really concerned about what is coming back at him yet. I think he wins a world title and continues to get better. He needs to keep his hands up but the speed, reflexes, and power are sick.
On the last pic I already see Pacs downfall.....He's throwing that right hand with his hand low..........INSERT DLH LEFT HOOK HERE
Its early he will adjust to the bigger men and i think he will weight the same as for the Diaz fight for this only less worrying about cutting down. His speed will be the same and he will have more power. I think DLh has not faced someone with the speed and relentless attack of Pacman. He has fought bigger punchers but not with the speed or will of Pacman. ANd for the record Oscar was in his prime fighting pernell and he is not the same fighter anymore. I think the odd angles Pac throughs may also give DLH some trouble. Peace out
Y'all need to watch The Cintron fights and the Cotto fight for your answer..
Nobody in their right mind is going to suggest Mayweather hits harder than Cintron.. Cintrol was teeing off and landing FLUSH power shots.. That were snapping Margarito's head back.. and he just kept Coming.. If Cintron Blocked high.. Marg would go Low always wearing him down..Throwing punches and hitting ANYTHING.. arm,chest,neck wherever..
In the Cotto Fight.. Cotto danced, Cotto Ducked, Cotto threw 5 shot combos that all landed flush.. He threw deadly power shots that once again sent Marg's head snapping back.. Cotto fought the fight of his life,tried every trick in the book.. Margarito JUST KEPT COMING.. Throwing punches from odd angles with that scary REACH.. Hitting arms,shoulders,chest etc etc.. always wearing him down..
Floyd will dance, Floyd will duck,Floyd will dodge, Floyd will counter, Floyd will throw combos, and when it doesn't work.. and Marg is STILL coming..all the while .. WITH HIS REACH landing whatever wherever.. And this where Floyd freaks lose the plot.. Marg WILL land.. Probably not much in the early going.. but enough.. even if it's just Arm and shoulder.. he will land enough..And Floyd will wear down.. as the Bigger and stronger man bears down on him.. His heart breaking.. due to his best arsenal not being enough.. His Body breaking, from the relentless machine in front of him,Flailing with those LONG powerful arms.. Catching Floyd more often and more flush as the fight wears on..
and slowly Floyd breaks down.. and soon the ring isn't big enough to run anymore..
Floyd is not that small he was not much smaller than DLh. He does not have to hurt Margarito he will land at will with quick shots. Margarito takes shots well but he wont see the shots coming and will get discouraged after 6 or 7 rounds. Cotto can crack harder but he wont land a third of the punches Floyd does. Also Margarito has slow feet once he will let Margarito get him near the ropes and turn leaving plenty of room to land 3 or 4 shots and then repeat. Cotto and Cintron both punch hard but the footspeed, Footwork, and overall defense and stamina of Floyd is what will win. Also Floyd can tie up he is not weak on the inside he will fight harder than we see him but win on doubt. Oscar has faster feet, and hands and still barely land shit. All the Dlh fans were saying he outworked FLoyd, lol he threw and hit alot of air. Margarito will due the same. Peace
Manny always cut down to make weight he is his natural weight he is only eating more protein. Anyway he will be fine moving back down to 140 he will be a monster there. Peace
Not sure but Pac is gonna go hto the middle of Oscars gut he is not gonna let him rest for one second of this fight. Oscar wins if his stamina holds up if not he is in big trouble. Peace
Expect Shane to move alot and then throw 3 or 4 combo and move so more. Repeat with some body punching and a few spots of trading and there it is. Still might get koed if his endurance doesnt hold up. peace
Williams is a huge risk and he had a bad night against Quintana but he is a beast. He is getting better with every fight, improving his defense, and he is sitting down on his punches. He is composed in the ring and takes a great shot this kid will go far. Peace
Maybe after watching it again he realized why Oscar lost "control" of the fight. He probably means Oscar's stamina prolbmes and the jab.
Dlh has trouble with Lateral movement in his older age he cant set to punch if u move alot from side to side. He also has had some stamina problems.
Not realy, he was a great fighter but a horrible person so to be honest he deserves anything bad that comes his way.
kharma i think it's called.
Maybe but bad karma should weight the same as bad deeds. Not forever although it may be a few more years for Iron Mike.
dlh weighing 140 still has the strongest punch in this fight which is his left hook. you can't tell me that pacman has any punch in his arsenal that is more powerful than a dlh left hook.
This is true but i think DLh has several problems. One is his stamina going down the stretch. The other is his body he has only really been hurt once but a body punch but he seems to slow badly after getting hit to the body. No one has really had a sustained body attack to DLh and defininitly not in his old age. Lastly, i think he has trouble fighting inside he is bigger and can move away or grab but Dlh does not like to fight inside and if Pacman can neutrilize the jab, ah ow. I think DLH is in for the fight of his life. Peace
I think he is but if he is not a win over Pacman and a climb back to the top of the sport would make him an all time great. He needs another big win or two just to show everyone he can do it. He should fight Marquez and then Pac. And then out. A fight against the Cotto/Margarito would be nice but i think they are just too big. He could still win but in a boring fashion.
