Santos Sucks Ass. He Has A Glass Jaw.he's Been Ktfo Like Twice Already. He's No Slick Southpaw Like Spinks . Santos Is Holding Mayo's Belt. Mayo Will Kayo Him Easy. Of Course Santos Is Big For His Weight Class. He Does A Gatti Coming In Like 20 Pounds Over The Limit Fight Night. I Went To Get A Hair Cut At My Local Barbershop . When My Barber Told Me You Know Boxing That's Santos. When I Looked At Him He Looked Smaller In Person. But The Reason I Mention This Is Because The Guy Had A Quart Of Malt Liquior In His Hand. While Getting A Haircut. Nice, No Wonder He Struggles To Make Weight :d
IMO the only two that i think are great fighters he beat are 1) james toney, the man was knocking everybody out att he time with relative ease. he was in shape and at his best. when you compare him now. 2) benard hopkins, i got to say that it was the opposite with benard. i feel benard is a fighter that got better with age , like lennox lewis. it is still a win against a good champion fighter at the time. both of these fighters are definte hall of famers. some of other guys are pretty much guys that will make the hall of fame. but nobody i consider great on the list of fighters he beat convincely. tarver is his own best fan. i really wish he wouldve fought roy around the time roy fought toney and hopkins.
imo 1# trinidad no doubt. the first time he hit vargas it showed me his left hook was something special. 2# delahoya alot of people dont know this. but this guy is a natural left hander.thats why his left hook was so dominant in his prime.#3 castillo, they guy shows time and time a again what a good left hook slash hooker cut he has,ask chico. 4# corrales has a good left hook too. he's put down some guys with good beards in the past. the first time i remember castillo getting hurt bad with one left hook, was when chico hit him with one.5# lacy has a good one. but ive only seen him knock out b,c,d,e,f class fighters honestly. the last four fights ive seen him in. definitely not including the one with glass jaw pemeberton. which manfredo knocked out! please my little cousin that hits kinda hard, can knock this turkey out.now this is just my humble opinion :boxing:
name me anyone who he has on his knockout list thats is a credible good opponent. that wasnt a washed up fighter like maskaev?? goodluck homey :confused:
come on man... where talking about a guy who got knocked out by a feather fisted guy named lance "goofy" whitaker. i wouldnt be suprised if he knocks out maskaev faster then he did golota.
your crazy to think he wouldve lasted two more fights without getting ktfo. he was never truley hit in his prime or while he was fighting bums. around the time he met tarver he got lazy and had no movement. i always said to myself. if someone could catch him on the ropes . they could have a chance in catching him. i definitely thought that after the de valle fight. he got the perfect fighter to face in the heavyweight division in ruiz for a title. ruiz cant really take a big punch or deliver a big punch. ever since he ktfo by tua by being a counter puncher. he became a counter hugger. i think ruiz was born to make jones and toney. become only the second and third former middle weight champs to become heavyweight champs :D
these are not my favorite fighters btw... i wouldve told roy just to retire on top like the badass he was at time. when he wont the heavyweight title. i wouldve told vargas to take a couple more fights with big punchers. before taking on a devastating puncher like trinidad so early. besides quartey i dont think he fought a one punch knock out artist like trinidad. trinidad took that man's chin and confidence back home with him to p.r :(
a couple years back on a another website. which gets info only out of the horse's mouth, **********. had an interview with roger maywheather in where he said. the only person we think would give floyd problems is miguel cotto. now floyd cares and obviously does what his uncle thinks is in his best interest. so obviosly floyd must of said something to roger.i clearly rememeber around that time floyd was calling everyone but cotto. now after cotto's his last three performances. he'll tell anyone who will listen's. that cotto is too green for him and that he would blow him out of the water. now in my opnion i feel at 147, if he has his confidence back. i think kermit cintron has the power and the reach to beat and possibly stop floyd. i definetly bet he could take out zab really quick. now your gonna say margarito beat kermit. but margarito was not afraid of cintron and kermit knew that. plus he was rushed to a title fight especially against a tough opponent like margarito. floyd tells anyone who will listen that he has too much skills for margarito. i think he is right. at 154, depending how much he has left in the tank. i think forrest could definitely give him problems. for some reason i think ouma would give him problems beleive it or not. i think his work rate is some what like castillo's. which i think floyd was given a gift in their first fight. ouma can put that pressure on him and is a southpaw like corley. two things floyd doesnt like. maybe father time catches up with him. or maybe he could be the one of the few great fighters to retire undefeated. he definitely has the skills and potentional to do so.
He's not black.
well i guess you didnt see the fight or have the name confused with somebody else. the guys nickname is the "la pantera" which means the panther. which is an animal much like a tiger... but its a black ;)
well besides being one of the darkest and ugliest brothers , only second to tarver. he didnt show me any real technical skils. just power with no defense along with a suspect chin.
remember all heavyweights, especially when your interesting to watch cause your like 6'8 or something. ask tyson and every other heavyweight that some potential. how many bums he knocked out to pad his knockout column. if you dont know that. then you dont know boxing.
Check boxrec.com for Alvarez' record.
I think Arce will beat Alvarez (at least I hope he does) because it could set up a potential "fight of the year" between Arce and my boy Vic Darchinyan later this year.
It would unify the WBC & IBF/IBO flyweight belts.
thanks vanes but looking up his record, which i already now. wont give me someone's perspective on his last three or fours fights on he looked. :confused:
i think B-Hop is going to beat Tarver by UD.
Hopkins is always better conditioned than anyone he fights.
i think that Hopkins is going to pull out all the stops and not play overly cautious.
i think Hopkins has too many trick up his sleeves for Tarver to deal with.
Hopkins is hard to get a clean shot on, Taylor never hit Hopkins with a real clean shot, and he had two fights to do so.
Hopkins is a better inside fighter than Tarver.
i think Tarver is going to gas early in the fight.
Tarver needs someone to trade with him for his assault to be really effective, thats where he always lands the big punch. other than that he usually gets out worked it seems.
Tarver has a hard time looking good against someone ho applies pressure, thats how he got the short end of the stick against Johnson the first time.
if Hopkins is afraid to pull the trigger and not let his hands go, than the fight will definately be in Tarvers favor, Hopkins will never has a chance if he doesn't throw.......but i think since this is going to be his last fight that Hopkins is going to let it all out in this one.....
Hopkins is hell bent on beating a light heavy weight, it's funny, his first fight was at light heavy and now his last fight is going to be a light heavy. first fight a loss at light heavy, will his last fight be a loss at light heavy?
well said my friend, well said :boxing:
Defense! Defense! Defense! Relying On Back Pedaling Does'nt Cut It. If He Faces A Very Hard Puncher. Going Straight Back Is Gonna Get Him On His Back.he Needs To Be More Balanced In The Ring. By Settleing Down On His Punches.by Turning His Whole Body.when Throwing That Straight Left.freddie Roach Said He Was Trying To Get Him To Pivot His Left Foot To Achieve This.i Did'nt See It At All. I Also Did'nt See That Famous Manilla Ice Uppercut That Was Gonna Catch Morales Everytime.these Are Just A Few Things That I Think Are Missing Form His Arsenal.because Having Just A Straight Left Hand, An Off Balance One Too .is Not Work On Everyone.especially When They Know That's Pretty Much All You Got.
Im A Tito Fan But Ever Since A Reliable Inside Source Close To The Trinidad Camp. Came Out And Said That Papa Trinidad Was Ilegally Wrapping Tito's Hands Before Fights.made Me Think If It Was The Wrapping Along With His Natural Strength That Got Him Those Knockouts.b-hop Got Wind Of This And Thats Why. B-hop Wouldnt Fight Him. If The Trinidad Camp Didnt Let Him Have Someone From His Camp. Watch Papa Trinidad Wrap Tito's Hands From Scratch On Fight Night.for Example, Vargas Had A Solid Chin Before. Trinidad Floored Him Three Times With Ease In The First Round. And Then Later Knocked Him Out In The Twelth.pretty Much Giving Him A Glass Jaw In One Night. Cause Everyone Knows His Chin Wasnt The Same Anymore After That Fight. And At The Same Time Having The Same Power. He Had At Lightweight.there Isnt That Many Good Fighters That Can Do That Ask Dlh,mosely,jonesjr,mayorga Etc.. They All Moved Up Without The Same Power They Once Had At These Lighter Weights. So It Pretty Much Makes Trinidad Either ,an Uncanny Puncher .or Maybe He Was Getting Away With Wrapping His Hands Ilegally. Making His Fists Like Two Small Casts. Combine That With His Speed And Accuracy. Hell He'd Probably Knock Out A Super Middle Weight With That Advantage.so Even If You Dont Think This Is True . Looking Back On What's Been Said . It Atleast Makes You Think It Could Be Possible This Was Going On.
AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT SAW CONFIDENT, RIPPED, MIGHTY MIKE. IN THOSE PROMOS THREE WEEKS PRIOR TO THE FIGHT?? HE LOOK OBVIOUSLY FAT OUT OF SHAPE. BUT MOSTLY DRUGED UP OR SOMETHING IN THE INTERVIEW RIGHT BEFORE THE FIGHT.EITHER KID WAS SCARED OF BARRIOS OR HES WAS DRUGED OR SOMETHING CAUSE HE LOOKED LIKE HE NOT ONLY LOST THE BELT BEFORE THE FIGHT. BUT ALSO LOOKED TO HAVE LOST HIS CONFIDENCE.NO CONFIDENCE & BEING OUT OF SHAPE ARE BAD COMBOS COMING INTO THE BIGGEST FIGHT OF YOUR CAREER.HE SHOWED IT IN THE FIGHT .ESPECIALLY WHEN HE GOT KNOCKED DOWN AND THEN CRAWLING LIKE A BABY TWICE TO HIS CORNER BEFORE GETTING UP :confused: LET ME KNOW IF HE WAS LIKE THIS BEFORE HIS FIGHTS BECAUSE BEFORE THIS I'VE NEVER SEEN HIM FIGHT.

Rubio has that right hand madness.
Top 5 P4P hardest hitter in the sport.
this pik looks like the guy rubio is fighting. is getting banged in the ass from somebody on the floor and is ready to toothbrush rubio's pecker... funniest gang bang ive ever seen hahahahh :D
yeah he reminds me of bowe. bad eating habits along with no dicipline in his training. what a alot of people dont realize is that buster was dominating the whole fight against tyson.even after he got knocked down. where pretty much got a 15 count thanks to tyson not staying in his corner & the ref not continuing the count where he really left off. he was'nt just the first to knockout tyson but also the first to dominate tyson pretty much every round in his prime! what a waste of talent.
