.................. how is he going to hurt Margarito?
Please elaborate.
Put pressure on him early, easier said than done, I know. He will beat him next time.
A prime roy doesnt need to match any workrate of any fighter... a prime roy also MOVES around the ring, just as fast as joe would move in, roy could move out..
gatti is SHOT at 35... Vargas SHOT at 33, Morales SHOT at 34-35...
EVERYONE is different... at 36, calzaghe is having some of his best performances and wins of his entire career...
2 months shy of 40... roy hasnt beaten an elite fighter in 5 years, and been knocked out twice....
Joe might be coming out of his prime... but roy hasnt been prime in 5 years... and after watching that fight... he is definitely shot as a fighter...
u really cant say... oh, there 3 years apart so its no big deal...
some guys are DONE at 34... some are still whoopin ass at 43...
everyone has different peaks and primes, age has nothign to do with it
Calzaghe is fresher at his ages because the quality of his opponent has been much lower than RJJ's. Also the fact Roy got ko'd twice very badly at the end of his career doesnt help.
first of, what cotto has to do is ****in put his gloves together and cover his face because i been sayin this for two years now his weakness is the uppercuts because he doesnt cover for the upper cuts he waits for hooks and if margarito gets them uppercuts in it will be over unless cotto starts to ****ing block his chin literally block his dman chin shit pissed me that he wouldnt cover his damn chin.
seriously i think he can win if he can go all twelve rounds by gettin more fit and i mean stamina wise cuz had he pulled it off all the 12 rounds he might have won the fight.
He was getting hit with too many avoidable shots. It made it hard to watch in the last 2 rounds. But I believe he will learn from this loss and come back stronger.
Good point.
Calzaghe has wanted Roy Jones for many many years, and now he's gotten him for better or worse.
Jones v Hopkins would be a strange fight.
Jones and Hopkins shouldnt fight, if Roy won Id be saying different but it doesnt have that appeal now.
Unless Margarito lays him out, which I think will happen in the rematch.
I think Cotto will come in with a better gameplan and keep it going for 12 rounds this time. He will have to hurt Margarito early then fight smart.
Its the biggest fight in terms of potential PPV buys not signifigance. Brock is legit too, he was an accomplished college wreslter. Its is a disgrace he is getting a title shot but its going to make the UFC alot of money. It is actually part of a HW tournament.
Winner of Brock lesnar vs Randy Couture
will fight
Winner of Antonio Nogueira vs Frank Mir
Being undeafed sells, also creates a bullshit aura.
If you fight the best in the world consitently you will lose at some stage. All the greats have lost.
