The promotional video has a touch of the sinister about it.

If you could embed the video for me that would be much appreciated. This site has never allowed me to do it.
yuck.
it's a good question. he literally ruined garcia's family life. i never thought danny garcia was a great trainer, and i don't know much about why they split, but you'd think he'd show some loyalty.
ortiz and rios were literally invited into the garcia family. there are conflicting versions of why ortiz and robert garcia split, but he should at least show respect for being taken into the family.
if it's not on video, i rarely put stock into sparring stories. there are way too many agendas. people make money off of this game, you know what i'm saying? they've all got an agenda.
if you're talking about one man, it's harder to find a more powerful person in boxing than al haymon. especially in the advent of manny's decline, haymon gets my vote over arum.
schaeffer is a powerful guy, but he doesn't own GBP. oscar still held the majority of the shares, last i checked.
haymon's influence on boxing is hard to quantify. we don't even know any of the particulars. all we know is that big time fighters like floyd mayweather and danny garcia thank al haymon and god. in that order.
i am a gabe rosado fanboy. the kid does everything you can ask of a fighter as a fan of boxing. a dog loves a bone. sue me.
i love seeing him make money, and i love seeing him win. he should have a win over jayleon love. i hope he starches whatever charlo this is. their names are so similar that i've stopped giving a **** getting them right.
the parents of the charlo brothers ought to be ashamed. kids are not toys.
most of your favorite boxers would appear mildly retarded in a commercial.
lee's father has connections in the media. lee is also a handsome young white guy, and makes for a great spokesperson for a sub sandwich that's supposedly marketed as healthy.
i would do whatever nastia liukin asked of me.

The only problem I have with Lee appearing in the Subway commercials, is that he's been inactive for over a year. The last time he fought was in 2012....
he probably made more for those commercials than a lot of fighters make in their careers.
charlo looked a bit hurt in there at the end, and fought back like a man.
other than the fact that i cannot distinguish between he and his brother, i like him.
philly still in the building doe.
I laughed and almost picked the first option but then I saw the other 3.
Vitali had a 4 year layoff, came back and EASILY won a piece of the heavyweight title inside the distance. Joe ****in Louis couldn't do that, and he was Joe ****in LOUIS for God's sake. ALI couldn't do that.
If he's ATG, top 20, whatever, he's a true fighter and a great champion.
Watch the god damn Klitschko documentary and say to yourself him and Wladamir didn't earn their spot. Wladamir's on top of the world, hugging povetkin for lunch and ****ing beth cooper after dinner.
Vitali met fear and took it's virginity, didn't even pay the tab after.
Champion x 2 = Klitschkos
lol, evidently you don't know much about the careers of either louis or ali, who had periods of inactivity due to the american military.
louis was drafted during WW2. ali refused the draft in 1967, and was denied a boxing license until the 70's.
they enjoyed success after their time off.
floyd mayweather is not fighting outside of las vegas :lol1:
they box for money.
the f#ck is the matter with you people?
also, the p4p "list" came into popularity in the advent of ray robinson being the planet's best fighter.
"tjhey won't come to the UK :crying:"
what are the incentives? so amir khan can get a gift decision, or carried back to his corner by the ref after he gets rocked?
it's a sad, sad world :crying:
what an awful top 10. how the mighty have fallen.
i'd provide some unput, but i just don't give enough of a ****.
i want to see a few guys fight each other. arreola, fury, wilder, chisora, are at least capable of being in some good fights. pulev is a decent fighter, but he's been in stinkers.
wladimir is a great fighter, but he hasn't been in an exciting fight in several years.
This is a really good list. The only suggestion I have is to maybe replace Arreola with Andy Ruiz Jr. because they're both Mexicans, but Andy has the slight weight advantage. In today's HW era, the more you weigh, the better you are. That's how future hall-of-famer Valuev got to 46-0.
thanks for reminding me about that fat sh#t. i almost puked up my lunch.
on a serious note, i'd love to see that fight as long as they wear shirts.
C Wladimir Klitschko
1. Kubrat Pulev
2. Alexander Povetkin
3. Tomasz Adamek
4. Bermane Stiverne
5. Tyson Fury
6. Bryant Jennings
7. Mike Perez
8. Odlanier Solis
9. Dereck Chisora
10. Deontay Wilder
why do you have perez so high in the advent of his awful showing in his last fight?
A lot of the fighters in HW division need more fights to be ranked properly.
I'll just say that Mike Perez is a lot better than people think. Don't base him on his last performance, he was not mentally the same. A 3-month break will help a lot.
And Deontay Wilder is going to surprise people. All of his sparring will soon pay off.
you've got to weigh the last fight the heaviest when ranking contemporary fighters. we can't excuse the poor guy for not being there mentally, even if he had a good reason.
i'm not sure if perez will ever be the same. we certainly can't credit him with a ranking based on the assumption that he will be. in addition to almost killing a man with a family, he took hellish punishment in victory.
Wilder has come up the rankings the exact opposite way Gabriel rosado has.
wilder is an ameircan HW with talent. crying about that guy being moved slowly is silly. so is comparing him to gabe rosado.
