no one gears up for postol. that fight is going to be awful. immediately after a clincher wins people seem to forget what they were just watching for the last 30 minutes.
Another one of the useless posters on this site...Yeah it was Postols clinching that beat Lucas, just like it was Garcia's low blows....Lucas is a B level fighter who was beaten by better men..get over it
Postol vs Crawford is the biggest fight in the division after Crawford vs Broner and only a fool who doesn't enjoy boxing would complain about it.
Roach is pathetic liar. Didn't Manny's team claimed they picked Bradley because he has more of a name and will help with ppv....somewhere along those lines?
So Roach..A part of Manny's team(the one who is consulted on opponents) has to be lying because another member of Manny's team said so....
How about Arum controls both guys and decided not to have his cashcow fight his future cashcow.
I don't see it. Crawford would pick Manny apart and stop him. The fight would put him on the map in a big way, yet he would turn it down? Freddie trying to save face, again.
You are the worst poster on this site...easily, everything you say is agenda driven trash.
Fixed.

Well done for adding to the childish nonsense that ruins this site.. You are both as bad as each other...You can't just enjoy fury..You have to obnoxiously parade him around as if his accomplishments are yours....sad
Of course there's an agenda.
This site has been in a downward spiral since about 2011 and it's getting worse
The recent tunney banning was farcical, is tunney racist? Yes, he's clearly racist, he's been clearly racist for like 5+ years.
But if you are going to ban the dude for that, you need to ban the guys on the other side of the fence who are AS clearly racist as he is.
Personally i don't care who get's banned and who doesn't but show some fairness.
We have a blatent narcissist as an admin on this site who has literally gone insane with "power" since his promotion a few years ago, it's pathetic.
This site has not been the best place to discuss boxing in a LONG time, it just gets the most taffic. The lounge is dead, the history section is dead, the british is dead, the community is dead. most of the best posters have either gone to another site or just got tired of the crap that goes on here.
Somehow the new regime that took over a few years ago has culled the quality by banning most of the legendary posters and increased the quantity of trolls and idiots.
I'll probably be banned for this post but I couldn't care less, i'm more active on other sites but to be honest this has gone from a place i checked several times a day and had people i talked to to something i use to waste time in between more important stuff.
This !! The Mods are complete trash and I don't care about saying it, I've been banned for it before and it just proves how childish they are that they are okay with fighters being trashed constantly but question their clear bias and there's a target on your head. Why is Crawford there? Herrera deserves it way more...
This site is so bad that this thread consists of a retard using this to promote his ginger bashing agenda and a Thurman fan repeating himself in a rather pathetic attempt at humour. And they are all such ignorant american cunts they'd rather just blow this off than admit their only HW is ****ing brutal, like really ****ing terrible
So saying you don't like homosexuality is the same as repeatedly bashing a woman's face in? The sad thing is you and the rest of society actually believes this. It used to be that actions mattered more than words, but now it's the reverse.
The sport is full of cheaters, corrupt officials, serial abusers, rapists, pimps, and murderers but that all pales in comparison so saying something offensive! God forbid somebody hold a different opinion...
No they are both defenceless acts, I never said one was worse than the other. Clearly I would think someone who beat my mother up was worse than some guy ranting about gays on the side of the road...once again it doesn't excuse how ****ed up that guy would be.
I'm and in no way PC..But Fury didn't seem to be joking or playing a character when he said this, just being an ignorant cunt.

Is that what he said? Or did he say the acceptance of Homosexuality is one of the signs of the coming apocalypse? Did he say he didn't personally understand it or did he dehumanise whole groups of people?
I like Tyson as a boxer, rooted for him vs Wlad, but I don't want to see him outside a ring...I know what kinda man he is from them comments.
Lara's 1-2 from the Southpaw is great...
Broner's is awesome when he actually throws it( and not the leaping in impression of Floyd's right hand)
Groves
Gamboa
Mikey (as some one said)
But the best? Carl Frampton by ****ing miles.... Also Wlad honorable mention even though he's in people's bad books...
How can GGG's fan who shout about excitement insult Canelo? Dude is easily one of the nicest boxers to watch in the sport, while GGG is literally like watching Paint dry compared to him... I get how you can be angry about the catch weight for 5 mins but jesus grab your sack and get over it
Death of Darren Sutherland...
Watching Juanma lose to Salido twice was painful (although great fights)
Meldrick Taylor losing the fight in the last 2 seconds and the damage done to him....
Jones vs Lebedev thought Roy was really hurt
A mockery of what? Of a boxer? What does that make Wlad and Wilder then?
A mockery of a man? He's got his views and he's sticking to them, whatever anyone else may think of them.
A mockery of a singer? Yeah, you've got something there.
You realise this is like defending FLoyd's domestic abuse? What Fury said was ignorant and offensive and if people thought like him the world would be a worse place...They are his views but the man took the first opportunity he had to spout them to the world. I'll watch his fights but the man is a pathetic loser who lives his life from a fantasy book from 2000 years ago...No world title will change that
you're rationalizing by first calling him a liar, how could I even read the rest of that? Plain as day, son - agree with Freddie cause they don't like Golovkin, disagree with Freddie cause they don't like Pac; same fanbase.
Or maybe things don't always fit into a nice little box for idiots like you..
So you are saying every single thing Freddie Roach has ever said is a lie?
You fail....hard
You don't have to answer all of them but feel free to and also add some other controversies if you can think of any. Simple answers....
1. Ali-Liston II
Legit win or phantom punch?
Or other?
2. Pryor-Arguello I
Legit win or illegal drinking substance?
Or other?
3. Margarito-Cotto I
Legit win or loaded hand wraps?
Or other?
4. Wilder-Scott
Legit win or a dive?
Or other?
5. Tunney-Dempsey II
Legit win or long count?
Or other?
Legit punch...Liston could have got up but didn't want the trouble it would bring
Legit...Unless he literally had 80% cocaine in the water nothing would act that fast, greatness just exists in some people
Fanboy in me points to the blood on his wraps, the Mosley fight and Margs complete lack of a career after he was found out ...But still those uppercuts in the early rounds didn't help none( it's just kinda hard to see Cotto quit like that after coming through the Hell Torres unleashed on him)
Shameless Dive...disgusting
Long Count
And also had Bradley over Manny in the first fight...Chaves over Bradley in their fight .... Trout and Lara beating Canelo...

Also yes Floyd is a complete piece of ****...that doesn't lessen what Tyson did.
Disagreed....why does Freddie's opinion have so much value to fl0mos now? He says a lot of sh1t, do you agree with it all? He also said Cotto would beat Golovkin. He said Marquez was on the juice. Pacquiao only fought with one hand. If you're going to take Freddie at his word, believe it all.
Well yes Freddie is a liar...But this not Freddie being asked about his fighter, he's being asked a question he doesn't have reason to answer dishonestly...Roach probably sees it as Manny's hands and feet are faster than GGG by far and he couldn't touch Floyd so how could GGG? He has more reason to hate on Floyd than GGG...
I want to see it...I wanted Floyd vs Martinez..No one beats Floyd...Maybe if he slows down another bit...And would there be a shame in losing to a huge puncher in your 6th weight class? He should do it , he needs GGG to beat Canelo first for it to be worth the money though
how am i hating? that was not a good year at all. most people have been saying how thurman wasted this year and how this year was going to be his breakout year but it wasn't, yet the pbc is still pretending that it was his breakout year without putting in the good wins. seems like a publicity stunt to get him more hype. i focus more on actual substance and not awards. bad year for thurman. hope this doesn't make him even more of a diva. "i'm pbc fighter of the year, i'm the a-side!"
You are hating because it's PBC's first year and it's still building and you are taking shots....No one said it was a big deal, you felt the need to tell us all it wasn't though=hater
Porter-Thurman
Brook-Khan
Seems 2016 may be a great year at welterweight
How did Porter get knocked down by Broner??? Seriously, what a weird KD. He has walked into like 10 huge bombs in this fight and only buckled once.
Broner's power is real.
TBH I kinda outgrown Roy....He was the guy who got me into boxing..
I loved his speed and ****iness and elusiveness. But now I don't even enjoy his highlights half as much as say James Toney's for example...Roy just did so many things wrong.. Watching him leap across the ring with a badly thrown looping punch just doesn't do it for me any more.. Still can't deny his greatness.
Jones vs Eubank, Watson, Benn, Collins....fights I would have loved to see
This fight in my eyes is the biggest win in Jones' illustrious career....As a die hard fan I learned a lot watching the metoric rise and fall of one of the greatest fighters to ever lace up a pair of boxing gloves
I not ashamed to say that in his prime, in my eyes, not based off resume or accomplishment, but in my eyes he was the greatest fighter who ever lived. Of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion but you'd be hard pressed to pick some one as the favorite over Jones from 154-168...175 he didn't have the one punch power but he was definitely more accurate and elusive
I had a bad feeling about this fight when it was signed....I was hoping Jones would stay at heavyweight or go for a title at cruiser...it wasn't meant to be
What I witnessed was Possibly the greatest fighter I've seen take a beating and come back to win......something he never had to do because he was absolutely dominant, even in his 30s
I chose this fight because
A) it proved to me Jones could come from behind to win
b) this was the beginning of the end of Jones being a great fighter
C) We saw a side of Jones we've never had to see and he took some hellacious shots and didn't budge.
d)My son was born the exact day at 2:21pm...I couldn't leave the hospital just to watch the fight so I had to wait for the results. I knew something was wrong when I read Majority decision. When I watched the fight I saw the last of the Roy Jones I grew up on. Its sad he is still fighting today but Its ironic that the day my son was born was the beginning of the end for my hero
this is for my boy uncle Roy
I always thought it was weird how Roy's punch was the first thing to leave him...You can see it here, he can pull the trigger there's just nothing in the clip.
Brook's resume is better due to that one good win (which may become a very very good win if Thurman falls to Porter) but Wilder's recent bum run is better than Brook's recent bum run.
Jo Jo Dan, Gavin and Bizier? Thats awful man. Disgusting.
Dan and Bizier were Mando's though...Gavin was a gimmie in front of the home fans of course no one will argue that..
Lets not forget that all of those names could be interchanged with Khan had the Bolton man been willing.
You better be born in a 1950s suburb, because people from the hood dont fight fair most of them use weapon. Also that isnt deevel speaking he was qouting bernard hopkins.
What i find strange is bob arum saved floyd, yet the spoiled little prick hates on the old man and so do his fanboys. I know uncle roger and floyd sr have nothing but love for arum, because they are old school and know what he did for them, floyds not from the street obviously, when that money runs short and he cant afford those 247 bodyguards that boy is going to get wrecked bad, ti is from the street and he was ready to brawl until floyds bodyguards stepped in. Floyd doesnt know how to show respect to real dudes.
What do you mean by real? People who will kill you with weapons or assault you because they are insecure and you're sleeping with their ex? haha you go ahead and be real...I guess I'm fake
Arum hates Floyd because Floyd was smart enough to leave him and take the money with him.. Floyd resents Bob because he saw Floyd as a "worker" and not on his level
Grow up
