Finally the chimes sound for Benn's induction - has been a long time coming.
Eubank Sr. will surely be inducted in the following years.
Golovkin - Benn - what a fight that would have been!!
Golovkin would have stopped Nigel Benn.
There is no way that Golovkin could be left out of the Hall of Fame. The middleweight division wasn’t the best during his reign. But he was at K2 Promotions and none of the names at the time; Sergio Martinez, Felix Sturm or any of the champions at that time would even mention Golovkin’s name. And look at the mans amateur record and who he fought in the amateur ranks. It was just a shame that he was out of the old Soviet system and turned pro late. Admittedly, during his GGG years as champion his competition wasn’t impressive. Maybe if he went up and fought Froch or Kessler, or even lost to Andre Ward people would not be able to hate on his resume.
Gennady Golovkin was a frightening puncher, with an amazing jab & footwork, and had a granite chin. GGG is one of the greatest fighters of this century. He was robbed against Canelo in the first fight. And the rematch was a classic that could have gone either way. But Golovkin was never the same after that fight. And he was old. GGG belongs in the HOF. And if he doesn’t, then I don’t know who does; he is a legend of the sport.
It is very hard to make an argument for Nigel Benn being in the Hall of Fame ahead of Chris Eubank! Benn lost to both Michael Watson & Eubank. The McLellan fight was a classic so I don’t want to say too much; Benn pretended to feint when he was supposed to take a drug test after the fight, should have been stopped in the first round, and was allowed to continually rabbit punch.. there was also a clash of heads that affected McLellan who was blinking throughout thereafter. Both fighters were warriors and that fight was a brutal one.
I don’t mind Nigel Benn being in the Hall of Fame at all. But if he is in there, then I can’t see how Chris Eubank Senior isn’t?!
This 'LouCipher' troll character is most definitely David Haye or on his payroll. Nobody wants to watch David Haye run away and throw 5 punches a round. He was gifted WBA belt against Valuev who got a gift before versus Holyfield. You had your chance to fight Fury Haye. Twice.
That's it then: Virgil Hunters fault. Just like with Freddie Roach not being able to defend himself, now it's Virgil Hunters fault. Khan is an accident waiting to happen..
Yeah p1$s off David Haye - trying to get in on Fury's limelight. Nobody wants to see this wannabe James Bond in the ring again. Fury at least is a man of principle. Wannabe pretty boy, reality tv celebrity. No fighter.
This is ‘Breadman’ speaking here; we all know that he is r4c1st. He could never admit the greatness of Usyk, or leave his bias out of any article he writes. Luckily in England we don’t see race and call reality how it is, regardless.
Gotta admit I like Khan; good skills, big heart... Got a feeling that Maidana's gonna rough him up and knock him out in this one though. If Khan does win this one tho there's some interesting fights out there for him. Only a matter of time before he's K.O'd again - PBF??
Nobody brave enough to step in the ring with Golovkin - thats why no big names on his record. And people wonder why fans going to MMA. Disgraceful. WBC need to give the green strap to GGG #AllTheBelts
I'm a Manny fan, but anyone who can't see that this bulls**t i just a Bob Arum tactic for Manny to avoid Floyd. PacMan legacy is tarnished if he don't step up to this. I think the whole team know he'll get schooled - Bob Arum's coming up with ,more ways out than PBF did in 2009/10 - anyone who can't see it is deluded.
Maidana's first loss was to Kotelnik; he was decisioned by Khan in aright that could have gone either way. Both losses were before El Chino fought Alexander. Who writes this sh*t?
The only fight that you mentioned then which was a catchweight was the Margarito fight at 150. A catchweight is when you agree a weight that doesn’t fall into the 12 weight divisions; Margarito compromised in weight to get the payday and pacquiao fought at his highest weight ever. You shouldn’t win a title at a catchweight - there’s no defending that. As ever though, Pacquiao lining up fights you’d expect him to lose. Clottey and DLH both agreed to fight at welterweight, where they’d both been successful before. Sure they’d have preferred to fight at 154, but Manny jumped from 135 for that fight. Nobody expected him that fight and i thought less of Oscar for picking a smaller fighter for big payday. He was lining Ricky Hatton up to fight at Wembley in London around that same time.
Fan of Kessler and love Froch, but have to say that no man from 168-175 can beat Ward anytime soon. Personally I have him as p4p#1 right now as he's in his prime. He's here to stay!
Damage limitation for Joshua now. Can’t convince people he didnt say what he said, so try to intimate that his words were out of context. Don’t think so Eddie. Joshua feel same about taking white working class peoples hard earned money paid for his ppv’s? Didn’t think so. Want Fury to smash him more than i wanted to in the first place now. When you’re from the struggle, you are in it together and we know its about class not race. Smash him Tyson..
Pacquiao/Marquez was not a close fight in anybody's eyes other than the HBO'S commentary team. I'm a PAC fan, but those compubox stats were bullsh*t. Pacquiao had an argument for 3 rounds - maybe 4?.. Highest profile robbery in years
I have to disagree with JMM on this one; Cortez (terrible ref IMO) did motion for them to box. As for tyhe guy asking whether Ortiz has ever been seen on the backfoot? well I refer you to the maidana fight.. the only time I've ever seen Ortiz show any heart was against the overrated Berto. Guard Your Grill! Viva Pacquiao - p4p #1
Corrales/Castillo is the greatest fight that I ever saw. I still remember the Sky Sports commentary from Adam Smith & Jim Watt.. “these two a baring their souls in there tonight”; “this isn’t about boxing tonight Adam, this is sheer, unadulterated machismo”
This was the first fight I showed my son. We still watch it to this day. One for the ages. Corrales was my favourite fighter.
Castillo is a legend too. But only Floyd haters who never even watched the first fight think he beat Floyd. Floyd as the Pretty Boy was as good as it gets.
Judah's deluded man; Cotto=Puerto Rican, Tszyu=Russian/Australian, Baldomir=Argentinian.. Matthyse (Argentinian) should have got the decision last time out aswell
LOL, he lost to Michael Moorer right before he had to retire with a heart condition
He lost to Byrd in 2002, when he was FORTY YEARS OLD :lol1:
Then, why are you here?
It's funny you're in the comments section of something you stopped reading years ago:rolleyes:
He lost to Rid**** fxckin' Bowe, one of the best HWs of all-time.
Usyk struggled with Chazz Witherspoon, Derek Chisora, & barely beat a past his prime Tyson Fury in the first fight.
Holyfield lost to Moorer with a heart condition that forced him to retire for 2 years.
90% of the boxing media & fans called Crawford/Spence 50/50:rolleyes:
You idiots have no idea what woke even means.
Can y'all read a book or even google something for once in your lives?
I bet her father is so proud.
Probably doesn’t know who he is.
Anybody who seriously believes Pacquiao won the 3rd Marquez fight needs to start judging fights on what they see, rather than what biased HBO commentators are telling them. Marquez clearly won the 1st fight as well - the 2nd was close. Viva JMM and the sweet science of boxing
Cotto, Margarito and Angulo?! You want Khan to skip Welter and become a light middleweight? The £££ is at Welterweight. Give the man some credit for fighting a live opponent instead of chatting sh1t on boxing forums. At least he's ready to fight (unlike Bradley). Script is obvious to me: Khan/Morales, then PBF; Pacman/Marquez, Bradley.. Winter 2012 = Floyd vs Manny
Sky might have been promoting the Khan/McCloskey up until a few weeks before the fight, but to buy the PPV from Primetime you also had to subscribe to their channel!
Calzaghe needs to stop all this **** with Froch. He could have fought him, but chose not to. His record is nowhere near that of Froch's, although i actually believe Calzaghe would have decisioned Froch. He didn't and Froch has fought at a higher level and earn his stripes in the states. Calzaghe is bitter about that, but needs to let it go.
First they came for Canadian truckers and GoFundMe; then they freeze Roman Abrahamovic's assets; Russian tennis players at Wimbledon; now MTK.. none of these have been tried before a jury of their peers in any court of law. This is tyranny. What next, freezing your bank account because you've said something on Twitter that was deemed to in correct?? This is tyranny.
Boxing fans will be talking about this performance from Terence Crawford for years to come; he's needed this fight for years. Glad to see that the fight has finally been made.
Fuq your sob story you Redcoat prick! Why don't you just get back on the Mayflower and turn around and go back to the old country. You got your azz kicked in 1776 and in 2025. Fuq DAZN!!!
Are you okay??
Fight Crawford or go up to 154 and fight with people your own size. A bully & a coward. Pacqiao is no true welterweight; just happens to be able to beat the majority of them.
