For the fans. :lol1:
Floyd don't even care about the nut huggers that defend him to hell and back on here.
floyds fans dont defend him because they think they will be personally thanked or rewarded financially....they defend him from the droves of idiots who constantly put him down and never give him credit for anything...the type of idiots that hold him to a higher standard than any other fighter
and spare me "well i hold him to a high standard because he calls himself the best ever"....he can call himself whatever hed like to...you dont have to believe it....if you believe and state it here then you can hold him to ridiculous standards that you dont hold fighters you like to
people are defending from jealous morons ...not because they think floyd cares about them
ggg fans are the absolute worst now. calling cotto a chocha? and talking like gggs bich arse didnt run from ward? you guys need to follow another sport. you arent a fan of it. you are a fan of fighters that give you an aura of ivincibility over the internet.
you are the type of losers to call a cotto a quitter after he was hit with gloves by a known cheater and loader. i mean how much lower does it get?
hard to rank the pac fights...ill go with the cotto one over hatton i guess...both were fun(and im a flmo)
pac/cotto
pac/hatton
cotto/martinez
cotto/mosley
p will/quintana 2
once ward moves up to 175 hes prob never coming back down...since all of his business would be finished there
if ggg were to fight ward now...or in oct.....hed still prob have a year to come back down to 160 for canelo.....if cotto wins hes not fighting ggg...canelo might...but canelo prob wouldnt come right back with ggg after cotto....so ur looking at oct/nov of next year for ggg/canelo match....that gives ggg almos a year to get back to 160...more than enough time
You can't just go around jumping weight divisions like this and pretend that what will be a likely be a loss won't affect your career prospects at 160 or have any adversary effects...
He's fighting at 160 anyway in Oct against Lemieux so this whole thing is pointless, what's the reason for even talking about it?
"what will likely be a loss" explains why its not logical to you....because its logical ...ggg just doesnt want a fight hes not favored in....even though hes saying hell take on 168....dont act like fighters havent jumped up and back down in their next fight....ggg would have potentially a year to recover from a 168 fight to fight canelo and get a tuneup in between
Canelo cotto winner has to fight GGG next or else they give up the belt. The language will be very strong and clear in the step aside agreement. It would not happen in October or November. It would happen in the first half of the year. However, I agree that cotto wants nothing to do with GGG
so you expect canelo, should he win, to come right back with ggg? dont u think its likely he asks for permission for a light defense and then fights ggg later?
That's the problem. It's turned into Haymon/Floyd groupies vs Everybody else.
I myself never participated in any of these Haymon/Floyd/Ellerbe/SHO/Schaefer/PBC/Anti-Arum/Pac/Anti HBO VS Everyone else threads.
please dont act like this is just people who back floyd and his camp.....theres always the other side still lurking....the manny fans who need a new invincible hero to talk about it since their boy got sparked by jmm and beaten by floyd
many have pointed out ....ggg talked about anyone from 154-168...and his testi's shriveled when ward said he wanted it now
Yes. I think he will have to and I think k2 can sue the WBC if they allow him to do anything different.
Of course, this is boxing and it's very corrupt so anything can happen..maybe a fake injury to delay or another 7 figure step aside agreement but I believe golovkin's team will be very firm on sticking to the agreement.
i think k2 would be fine with canelo taking a light tuneup in between the cotto and ggg fights.....as long as they have a deal in place
im not sure who a realisitc fight at this point for stevenson is that would be better or satisfy? you want him to fight bernard or something? there isnt much out there. im not a stevenson fan nor am i defending this fight. but iiwii. hes not fighting ward or kovalev next...sooooo?
hell fight kovalev to cash out
Imagine..Karpency pulls off the upset. Kovalev fights him to unify and people accuse Kovalev of fighting bums. :lol1:
nah kovalev will fight anyone his size or smaller. going to cruiser would be a waste. but hes not ducker like ggg. i dont think anyone really accuses kovalev of anything. hes fighting the guys he can. whereas ggg is scared to death to lose to ward even though its a realistic fight
i love how this guy "bam bam" goes on and on about what a fraud cotto is. and then goes as far as to call him chicken for not wanting to fight ggg. even though cotto is a welterweight who is a fraud by his account. and thats the kind of fight you want for ggg? against a fraud who is a welterweight?
really? please list all the marquis matchups (not mandos) where non-PBC fighters have been in either the main event or co-feature of PBC shows.......
i like how you highlighted "pbc is not the problem"....then make your comment
al is willing to go to a purse bid with kovalev/stevenson....its the hbo/kovalev deal that kills that fight...otherwise both guys would make a ton of money
You are delusional. So all those years when GB vs TR fights weren't happening then the moment Haymon is removed from the picture now GB vs TR fights are happening. HBO this year alone you have seen tons of fights featuring the best fighters of rival promoters going head to head. Again Haymon not in the picture isn't stopping GB, Main Events, Roc Nation, Hearn, K2 ect from working together.
Meanwhile PBC is it's own bubble where they don't even mention the other world champs in their broadcasts. Just this weekend they told us the Jacobs vs Mora was for the Middleweight championship not mentioning that nobody considers Jacobs the champ at 160. HBO, Showtime, ESPN (prior to PBC), ect every network that airs fights regardless if they have the other champions under contract all make sure to give their viewers a complete picture of the division and speak on the other champions before or during the fight especially when they have a fight that doesn't feature the recognized champ at that weight. Yet PBC does not and it's clear that this is being told to the announcers don't talk about the "other" guys.
Haymon in the picture fights get stonewalled. Remove Haymon fights get made. Haymon has his own league that refuses to acknowledge the better fighters and world champs that he does not have. And the worst part is despite his refusal to work with other promoters he still don't put his best fighters against each other which is why you get Thurman vs Collazo.
To turn this around and say it's HBO or other promoters that are black balling Haymon is idiotic. Haymon is trying to create his own boxing league and will try and create his own PBC belts he has alienated himself not the other way around.
soooo ya....about that stevenson/kovalev purse bid
most will never see it this way but the evidence is showing more and more whether it be purse bids or whatever that pbc is not the problem. there is no doubt about it that hbo top rank, gbp, and main events are black balling pbc as far as fights. PBC has shown its willing to work with any promoter it has shown it will go into a purse bid at the end of the day its pretty clear that gbp and top rank are the problem like they have been for the last 20 years. thats the reality they may of came out pretending to end the cold war between gbp and tr but as we have seen it was mostly bs. Its only a matter of time before people start to realize hbo gbp and top rank are the real problem when it comes to holding up these fights. HBO exclusive deals with fighters has been holding up fights for a long time. I dont know im trying not to be bias but to me its clear as day gbo hbo and TR will not work with pbc even in a purse bid and yet pbc gets blamed. Its all a power play top rank and gbp and even hbo are so worried about pbc taking over that they are on a complete pr campaign to get fans on their side and against pbc its clear as day they are making a real effort to make a smear campaign even when pbc goes into a purse bid and the other promoters and networks pull out. Now pbc is not innocent but we need to quit giving gbp and top rank a pass. I dont know maybe im off base with this but it seems clear as day to me pbc is not the real problem they have just been black balled over the years and full speed now cause the power brokers are trying to keep power
u are correct
unfortunately people will never see it because they do not want to....too many want to hate on al because of his association with floyd .....similar to this "deflategate"....the nfl is the actual problem....but 90 percent of the country hates the patriots so its an easy sell....people dont want the truth...they want to point a finger to feel better about themselves
cotto haters be like
"sergio couldnt even train. cotto beat a guy on one leg"
"okay so why should ww miguel cotto fight mw ggg"?...."one of cottos greatest wins was against a mw thats why. its totally legit fight"
