Freitas was credited with a knock down that wasn't a knock down. Without that extra point he dosn't win the fight. The Corrales and Castillo fights were both split dec losses. Even if you say Casamayor lost all 3 fights, they were all very close. Why wasn't there any rematches? Or in Corrales case a rubber match? Cuz there ducking him. With 3 big names ducking him, how can you not call Casamayor boxings must ducked fighter?
Simple he wasn't Ducked!!! did he not get the fight with Freitas, Castillo and Casamayor. 3 big name fighters gave him a chance and he failed. He wasn't DUCKED he was BEAT!!!
It may not be the greatest KO of all time, but I'd say one of them
that belongs on the all-time highlight reel was Julian Jackson's knockout
of Herol Graham.
Graham got careless and Jackson lands a right hook that
short-circuits Herol's brain, rendering him unconscious on the canvas.
Julian Jackson was powerhouse. He had lots of great KO. How About Pettway Vs. Brown. Pettway hit brown so hard with one punch he was out cold and fell like a tree and he was still trying to throw combinations as he laid on his back. I also laugh hearing Tyson do the commentary for that fight.
How About Tua Vs Ruiz Or Mercer Vs Morison. Both Ko where similar. Tua and Mercer had there opponents trapped in the corner and beat the living pulp out of them before the ref could stop it Tua though did his in like 19 sec. of the first round.
My question is why i was called a racist for liking a Hungarian fighter, because im half Hungarian. Just an oberservation dont get offensive.
They should have not called you a racist.
Margarito the most ducked fighter! This statement is usually immediately followed by something about PBF. How long has PBF even been at 147? PBF is just coming up to 147lbs and so is Hatton. Cotto isnt even up to 147lbs yet because he's eyeing a Castillo Mega fight at 140lbs for big money.
So WHO ARE ALL THESE PEOPLE DUCKING MARGARITO?
Well lets see here Margarito has been the welterweight WBO champ since 2000. So lets see who was there since then Delahoya, Mosley, Forrest, Mayorga, Spinks, Judah none of them wanted to fight him or even mention his name. So who in that division wants him. And common before PBF moved up to fight Zab he was thinking about Delahoya or Winky who are middleweights
Yeah but they let Barrera fight, Joes Mesi is back and come on Vinny Paz the Taz came back from a broken neck. Why cant this guy have a chance. His got a good chance to be a champ some day but it would be nice to see him fight in the states. Looks like he doesnt have anny problems so far.
I like Barrera because he has a belt, I like Morales (if it can be made at 130, as were the two previous contests) because it's 1-1 between him and Pacquiao, I like Barrios because of what he showed against up-until-then Everlast Boxing Equipment posterboy Popo Freitas and I like Pacqiuao to have 7 or so more fights against everyone and anyone who has a name or anything close to a name or a title at 130 lbs.
Pacquiao is the most exciting 130 lbs fighter, and from the look of things, will remain that in the next three or four years. I like to be excited in that span of time too.;) I am not at all sure I care about the chronology; I just want Pac to take em all on.
I agree i want him to fight them all to so there is no dout in anyones mind that he rules that division. I would also like to see him Marquez again but dont know if that will happen seeing how Marquez lost to John. But then again Manny is not worried about tittles or belts he fights the best and wont run from anyone. He was the one that pushed for rematches against Barrera and MArquez and they both ran. He also dicided to take on Morales even though Morales lost to Raheem. Take them all out then move up.
Why is it ok for every asian that like boxing to pick a foreign boxer as their favorite just because of their ethnicity? You dont see white Americans picking Valuev, Klitchko, Ibragimov, sergei, Krasniqi, Chagaev, Vidoz as their favorites. I just got these names off of the Top 16 HW on http://www.fightnews.com/rankings2.htm
Im not hating, just I told people I was "rooting for" Zsolt Erdei in another forum as a joke because he is Hungarian. People got offended...
I said "Im rooting for Zsolt Erdei because hes Hungarian."
My family has been in this country for 20 years, 1 year before i was born, but im a racist because i wanted a hungarian to win a fight. They knew this too. They didnt know Im half Lebanese.
I dont know, maybe I am being biased, you decide.
------------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT: Im not saying your not born in the Philippines.
I dont know what that has to do with PACMANS next fight but anyways boxing to asians and mexicans also is more than fighting for money or a belt. There is alot of pride in it. They fight for the whole country. And why does it matter a filipino guys likes a filipino fighter you pic the guy you want. And it happens to be that my guy is one of the top fighters right now. I liked Manny befor he even got big, befor his Barrera fight.
Sturm is not being ducked. Its not his time yet. Im sure after Taylor and Winky get done doing there thing Sturm will get a shot at the throne sometime. Plus he is not a real threat to anyone except maybe Delahoya.
2 and thats only cause he didnt lie to his son and say the fight was going good for Zab. He kept it real and told him he had to go for it. We all know how other boxing father/trainers acted with there son loosing a fight before.
I'd like to see Pacquiao vs. Barrios.Two all action fighters it would be a barn burner.
I would also like to see it for the action. But i read on an interview with Barrios that he doesn't want to fight Manny yet because to him Manny is not a big name fighter and wont get him the money like Barrera would. Someone must have drugged him that day for him to think that Manny is not a big name fighter.
got this from boxingscene.com
We asked what opponent he would pick to fight.
“Barrera, of course, because he has a real name in boxing is a real star, he can be the head of any boxing show. Pacquiao is a tremendous fighter, but he does not have the same big name. Of course, he defeated Barrera and Morales and is a dangerous man. But if I can choose, I would say Barrera. He is for real; he is a tremendous challenge, a real legend. I want Barrera, man”.
The Raheem we saw last was against a Morales that wasn't at a 100% or not the same fighter he was before. A young Morales would have picked Raheem a part. He can dance and move all he wants but he needs to get in to land a punch and that's where he'll be vulnerable against Popos power. I can see Raheem fighting a boring fight and try to win by points but Popo will draw him in and Knock him the F!@# out by 8.
margarito is the most HYPED fighter not the most ducked. nobody wants to fight him because he is a nobody who is not worth fighting. why would one of the top guys want to fight a sloppy slow no name guy like margarito? the bums that floyd and hatton are fighting are better than this guy. give it a rest margaito is nothing. he isnt being ducked he isnt even being considered. if you are going to duck someone he has to have skills that intimidate you and after comparing margarito to the top guys in the division there is no way they are afradi of him.
If he is so slow and sloppy wahy hasn't he lost in 10 years and has destryoed everyone he has faced. I'm sure he would have took out Zab if he was given the chance.
What other fighter in any weight division has been at the top of there game and been undefeated for the last 10 years and has not had a shot at the top names in that division. What other fighter out there do you think is good enough to beat the top guys in there division but was never given a chance. I use to think it was Winky but he took out Mosley and Trinidad. Before that i use to think it was J.M. Marquez but we saw what happened to him.
It would have been nice to see Hammed come back and see what kinda fight game he would have brought back in the mix in the 130lbs. Pacquiao Vs. Hammed. That would be action packed. It would end in a KO for sure.
ARe you crazy. Who wants to fight Delahoya? His name is only for the money. He's past his prime. Hasnt fought in a year and a half not cause he's ducked but cause he didnt want to fight. Got KOed with a body punch by Hopkins and i think he lost the fight with Sturm. What big name fighter out there does Delahoya have a good chance of winning. Hatton no, Cotto no, PBF no, Taylor no, Winky no.
