Bruce Lee was a life long street fighter. He was a killer. A fencing expert. He would use his fingers to jab you in the eyes. His speed was legendary. A quick short kick to the groin.
In a street fight Lee would kill Mayweather under 15 seconds.
A cheat and a liar is what boxing should be?
God pity the sport.
Every sport has rules and every sport has cardinal/unbreakable rules. You don't bunt in the bottom of the 9th down by 6 runs to break up a no hitter or purposely throw a 98 mph fastball into someone's skull. You don't spear your opponent in the head after the whistle. You don't gouge the eyes. You don't hit an opponent in the back of the head with your stick. You don't go into the stands to fight a fan.
And you don't load your gloves. You don't plaster your wraps or take out the padding. Billy Collins forever is the poster child of what can happen when someone does. It is one of the most sacrosanct rules in boxing and Margarcheato knowingly broke it. He is, and will always be, primarily remembered for being a cheating bum.
Marg is a scum bag for sure.
But most boxers would definitely put plaster in their gloves if they thought they would get away with it. All those things you mention aren't really the samething.
Mosley roided in his fights. Most fighters do. Most boxers are all scum bags. There are a few fighters that are clean, of course, as proven by the fighters who immediately signed onto the clean testing program.
Conte isn't juicing his fighters up dude. You really think he juiced Monroe up after everything he's gone through??? When he found out Donaire was dirty he quit.
Garcia hiring Conte is a very smart move.
Got a link to explain this?
Fighters just say ****. You shouldn't take it seriously. he has no intention of fighting Spence.
He had tons of opportunity to fight Terrence Crawford but instead choose the likes of that Jeff Horn. What he was scared of Bud fives years ago, but he'll fight an even bigger harder hitting guy like Spence? No, of course not.
scared of bud? who's best win is postol? one of pac's sparring partner for the rios fight and pac broke postol's nose in sparring too. silly minnesotan.
Roach said he told Pac not to fight Bud. That he might get hurt.
And, Arum was begging pac, and doing his best to make Pac Crawford. Pac rejected it. Thats a fact. Instead he choose to fight Jeff Horn.
Pac is a legend, but theres are reason he listened to Roach and fought Jeff Horn, and a completely shot Matthysse and not Terence Crawford. Bob Arum was dying to make that fight on multiple occasions.
At this point in his career, a little guy like Pac can't beat someone like Spence. Even in his prime, Pac never fought someone as big and good as Spence who happens to be in his prime.
They are both over rated. But I think Hatton could probably take it.
Hatton was a very good inside fighter. I think he would get inside and out hustle and hurt Matths.
But they are both over rated for sure. Hatton is not as good as people think. He went life and death with Collazo.
We know Tyson can lose motivation easily. He doesn't seem to care about money that much.
He beat Wilder. I can see him just chillin. I think he would get back up for Joshua, and just not bother with a Wilder rematch. It might be official but he knows everyone considers him the winner.
If PBC is paying him more than he should take either of those fights.
Brook is trying to secure a payday or two with the fights he has left. Its not a Matchroom or PBC thing to him or it shouldn't be.
And I doubt Hearn would hold him up to make better money elsewhere if its there to be had.
I don't think this would be a poaching situation either. This is just something that could just be a viable option. PBC guys have fought on Matchroom cards. Matchroom guys have fought on PBC cards.
Why would PBC want Brook? And how could he make more money with them? He's not known at all in America, but is in the UK. I doubt he would make even close to what he does atm.
I don't think Hurd or anyone said Brook has to sign to Haymon and PBC for a fight. I think that fight could be a co promo.
A prime Pacquiao schools Spence and stops him.
All depends on how good is Pacquiao stamina and work rate is these days.
If he can still manage 1000 punches a fight and got his footwork, he will beat Spence.
But the guy is 40 now and been in decline for over 8 years now.
He hasn't thrown a 1000 punches in a fight since Margarito. That prime Pac work rate was gone long ago.
With cristal jaw
Because Ortiz doesn't know how to fight. And eats punches all the time, so his jaw cracked. Have you ever seen his fight stats? He doesn't throw any jabs. No tactics. Barely any knowledge. Just a straight left. No defense. Nate Cambell beat up Ortiz FFS.
He's not even that big of a puncher. If thats the only supposed big puncher Maidana has faced in his whole career, thats straight up pathetic. Ortiz is a garbage fighter.
Valero started off his career at 127 and topped out at 135, just like Broner topped out at 147.
Broner would be a lot bigger, but he was also an ever poorer fighter back then. I think Valero would still have way too much.
Have people in this thread never seen Miller fight? Why on earth would anyone look forward to this fight, or think the outcome was in any doubt? Miller can't box one bit. Its not going to be a long fight.
Spence is a cold stone killer at WW.
He won't be that effective once he goes up. At WW he is too powerful and strong. He is definitely there to be hit. No head movement. Planted feet. That is the type of fighter that can get knocked out badly. Once he moves up, he might get found out.
He has a lot of flaws, but none of them matter much at WW.
LOL no.
Crawford doesn't have the frame to go all the way up there.
Its questionable if he can even handle a big WW like Spence.
Crawford is an excellent fighter, but there is a reason there are weight classes.
Umm, so what? Is how old his face looks going to change how he performs how good of a fighter he is? And yeah he looks a little older. Floyds face also looks old. Not sure what the relevance is of that.
I really really doubt its going to be Spence. Team Pac and Pac himself I would assume, after the Thurman fight will no way in hell want that fight.
Never seen Pac so drained before. The dude could barely even get on the ropes. He was really really exhausted. His work rate has gone way way down. And in the second half of the fight he faded badly. He is not going to want to get massacred by Spence.
Yep (but predominantly ortho).....A big reason why Pac demanded Cotto sign the clause.
Pac has yet to ask ANOTHER WW to sign a clause :lol1:
Didn't ask Margarito to sign a clause.
No clause, no fight. Cotto sold out for that big paycheck.
What clause?
DAZN isn't hurting or helping boxing.
Boxing is not dying or dead, but it's just chronically sick. It'll always be sick, with a broken system. With or without DAZN.
I can't believe anyone gives a single F about any fight for Crawford that isn't Crawford Spence. Wasting of effing space. These guys careers are for all intents just meaningless.
