But what promoter is loved by the fans? Arum is a snake, Oscar is a cross dresser, Don King is a criminal, Tex Richard was a sleazeball ect. ect. ect.
Stop being so damn sensitive you bunch of drama queens
end thread..
I seriously doubt Garcia will be the one who ends it. It's an easy gig that probably pays well, and he won't get much blame if it all goes wrong (which it will) as no-one can really fix Jr.
I wonder Jr still has training sessions in his living room :lol1:
Last I saw he moved those to his bAckyard
No. Thank you. Good examples here to demonstrate my point further. Both Geale and Willie Monroe Jr sustained actual knockdowns against them and were visibly in poor condition. Geale got knocked down twice, Monroe Jr 3 times. Those two are actually good examples of when fighters are justified in not wanting to continue. These situations do happen.
Now Collazo didn't get knocked down a singe time, and in fact he landed the best punch of the night and nearly knocked Thurman down. He just felt that he had a slight injury, knew that he was destined to be paid if he was able to fight again, so he just jumped to a conclusion that its better to not fight and risk further injury because that would just delay his next payday.
Thanks for providing two examples to further emphasize, drive home, solidify and cement my original point, infusing more certainty, veracity and validation in the excellent points I had previously espoused. The truth most certainly enjoys company, I can tell you.
Damn, you didn't have to give the homie a vocabulary lesson lol
I know they don't really have much say in who they fight but by being with al Haymon, can they not have an opinion. Simple question, who would you rather face?? It's up to al Haymon.
Chances are the fight would've been in England, Brook would easily sell out an arena and the British PPV would pull in more than anything Rios would bring. You are underestimating the amount of people in England that would be willing to pay to see a shtty PPV with Brook.
It is a shame though that brook doesn't want none of rios who many people feel brook would beat. Brooks gonna keep that belt hostage
It seems that PBC may have put things on hold for the moment at least until the lawsuits are cleared up. Bringing out their own titles at this point would not work in their favour at all.
Yeah defiantly. They're just waiting it out but you can count of them creating their own belts
I dont see why Khan would blame Haymon for this. Mayweather does what he wants
Khan v Pacquiao does nothing for me. Khan v Bradley would be cool but it might be at the expense of no Khan fight with Thurman, Porter, and maybe even Brook who it sounds like is going to sign with Haymon.
If he did leave Haymon then were never getting those fights unless he signs with matchroom but even then I doubt we get any of those fights
Well I don't blame Bum Bum for not taking the Brook fight if this is true. The laundry list of excuses wasn't necessary though.
I wonder if Bradley will get the same criticism as Brook was getting from certain fans for taking this fight....doubt it :lol1:
I had no problem with brook rios, I'm already used to seeing brook fight bums. At least this time it would've been an interesting bum
So we know that if you're a possible pick in a Floyd's fight you should train ahead by now. But the real question is, can you really train as hard as you can knowing that you don't really know or have an inkling if you got the chance to get picked?
What if Thurman or Porter or kell, who truly does not expect it, had been chosen and didn't really actually train ahead? Who's the loser again here? We fans huh? Because at the end of the day, Thurman can say he only trained for a month to fight floyd while floyd has been grinding the gym like a stallion for 3 months ahead knowing fully well who he is intending to fight with.
The best fighters out there stay in shape year round. Floyd, Bernard, paq, and so forth. The greats understand that boxing is a lifestyle.
Against Ishe right?
Floyd/Epic monster shoulder Rollin Beast
Groves/Jack
Salido/Martinez 2
Vanes/Ishe
I thought I saw that somewhere
Salido-Martinez 2. That's the best fight on the whole card
He needs to chill out. I thought he was going to have a heart attack the way he was getting worked up. Whoever made that cherry page for Garcia has seriously got to Angel. :lol1:
Is that page still up, I was looking for it the other day but couldn't find it
WAR LOEFFER!!!! :rofl: I like Angel too though lol. Met him in real life, and he is the coolest guy lol. Nothing like this. He has been one of the FEW boxing people I have taken a pic with that had the initiative to shake my hand after the pic, asked me what my name was and establish a conversation with me. One of the Watson twins was also like that.
And I value that because most fighters / celebrities take photos and then on to the next, few acknowledge the person on an individual level. And it's understandable with all the people that approach them but that's exactly why it's valued.
Gtfoh, he did all that. It's hard to like the guy when he comes off like a bat**** crazy douchebag
how is the fight being at 168 dictating terms?
why would you be ok with ggg fighting froch or chavez at 168, but not ward?
164 is not a weight class.
and ggg has made it very clear that he would fight at 168.
I like ggg, but a catchweight against the best super middleweight in the world is an excuse not too fight ward.
ggg would get no credit for beating ward at any weight below where ward reigns supreme. (168)
did Hopkins ask for a catchweight against tarver who was 2 weight classes above him? hell no. he went for the glory and got it.
One of Hopkins greatest wins happens to be at a catchweight when he fought pavlik
Haymon doesn't know to build stars.
All them fighters but he hasn't made one a star. Top rank made Floyd. Haymon been trying to build up dudes like Berto, Thurman, Garcia, Broner forever.
That's why Haymon is constantly stealing other peoples fighters, he doesn't know how to build stars. He doesn't understand the work that goes into doing that.
Chavez was a rating star for HBO, Haymon got his hands on him and destroyed everything top rank build in one fight.
Yes this right here.
And people complain that GGG - Lemieux may be PPV. That fight will have 1000X the action of ANY Floyd fight but I guess people just like the Sominex effect of a Mayweather fight.
That's nsb for you
Golovkin is arguably the most exciting thing going in boxing right now. That said, be a professional and take the fight @168. He can always go bk to Middle if it doesn't work out and still be a wrecking machine..
If only it were that simple. He's in his 30's now. Moving up in weight and moving back down isn't always easy at this time Ina fighters career
Was a crappy fight anyways. Rios, a ligntweight flies to Englad to fight a hometown champ? Give me a break.
Brook should unify, not fight another bum or a lightweight.
I don't know where you have been but rios is no lightweight. He wasn't even a lightweight when has fighting at the division. He's a big boy. I don't even think he has a natural weight class
And he still winning. Holy ****. No one outside of Floyd has been able to solve the Saulvinchi Code. Cotto will be no different. He's no Floyd. His face loves to eat leather. :sombrero:
Lol...cotto is goons go down trying to solve the saulvinchi code
