Exactly. He really should be fighting Abraham. Hopkins ain't a bad choice but its ten pounds out of Kelly's weight class and its designed to build his name. Like I said, its all money, money, money.
I agree that he should fight Abrahams, but Hopkins isn't a bad fight at all.
Lovely reading. Margarito is betting on height.
I remember Gómez and Quintana. They also understimated Junito. They both underestimated his punching power even after the fight.
********boxing dotcom
i had a feling it was a type of drink lol, pero no bebo soy un peleador. quise ir solamente to enjoy the enviroment of a huge fight you know.
Cool. When I was younger and was into strength and conditioning I was also like that. Props to you.
Both are great fighters, both are warriors. Both are flawed in ways, who cares? so is everyone. Margarito has been rocked and dropped, so has Cotto. People use these facts to try and make them look bad. They are both great fighters and it should be a great fight. May the best man win. I wish i could still be in Puerto Rico for this fight becase there is going to be a huge party with tons of people and a huge tv jst like they did for Tito fights. But im coming home tomorrow night :grumpy:

Who did that painting?
Te vas a perder las Medallas frías...
stumbled across it on the net

Care to share where you found it? I would buy it.
Yes, Cold Medals, Medalla Fría, like this one:

If you watched the fight here on the island, you would definitely end up drinking Medalla.
I think the Mosley turning down those fights must have been taken out of context somewhere down the line. Not arguing it, but still. I will never question Margo's heart but I will never question Mosley's heart either
Agree.
Look at round 12th of the first DLH/Mosley fight.That's a champion.
Margarito was asked what he thought he could do differently against Cotto than Shane Mosley or Zab Judah did.
Margarito who is anything but boring when giving answers to questions, answered the question by dissing Judah and Mosley for both combined not having his amount of heart.
When asked what he thought he could do different than Mosley or Judah, Margarito stated: "I feel that I will be pressuring him a lot more. I have a lot more power and I can do a lot more things as far as power is concerned. And I know I have a bigger heart than both of those guys combined."
Margarito added: "I have waited a long time for this type of fight and I know that I am hungrier than he is and I want it more than he does and I’m going to go get it."
Questioning Mosley's heart... God Tony, unlike your blind fans, you seem to be cool, but please...
oh well, everybody makes mistakes.
lol. this whole pacman-dela hoya stuff is getting some really juicy discussion here in BS. damn , the more arguments there is for this fight not to happen, the more people will want to make it happen, (get the gist ?)
Not from me. Really, I would hate it to happen. But it's such strange phenomena, like UFOs, that makes you wonder and speculate on possible explanations.
Eric Gomez who not only happens to be the vice-president for Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions, but is also a close friend of De La Hoya's since they were children, feels Manny Pacquiao is a dangerous fight for De La Hoya to take. There is a lot of commotion in the boxing world that De La Hoya maybe gearing up to take on Manny Pacquiao in his final fight before hanging up the gloves.
Speaking to dzSR radio's Dennis Principe, Gomez stated in regards to De La Hoya taking on Pacquiao: " is a dangerous fight for Oscar."
Gomez added during the interview: "Manny has the speed and he’s got the power. It’s a very dangerous fight for Oscar."
Even though Gomez has some concerns about the fight, Golden Boy Promotions is serious about making the fight happen. "It’s a matter of getting together and making the deal happen. It’s a matter of getting the numbers and to see if we can get it done.”

Now that's what I call "leaning towards a Pac-DLH showdown".
Oscar's people already making a case for a "competitive" fight . lol
Eric is looking for a phone call. I mean, if Pac has the speed and the power, he might tell me that Oscar could get killed by Cotto's stare.
LMAO!!
For those that don't know, there will be a chat with Margarito online on ESPN. Like the one with Cotto, on Wednesday.
If ESPN doesn't do a good job moderating... it would be the nuthug fest of the year.
Margarito love is turning dangerously similar to Tye Field-ism.
hows it an absurd poll when DLH and pacman is probably going to happen, and DLH is bigger than Cotto
the reason i did it is because the way things are going i wouldnt be suprised if this fight happens, he wants hatton, he wants DLH - roach said he'd KO DLH
I set a difference between being tall and being big. I consider Cotto a big welterweight, despite the fact that he isn't tall at all. Pac is strong and very athletic, but he isn't big nor tall. Just look at his pictures at the Díaz weight in.
And don't take it as an insult to YOUR poll. I think it's absurd precisely because of the reasons you cited. Pac / DLH is a mismatch, circus act by a money hungry charlatan that thinks we are tools.
Voted #2, though it won't be a massacre.
It is, however, an INSULT to every boxing fan. DLH must really think we are retards. He is a 154 pounder, there is competition at 147,154 and 160... yet he looks for a fight against a guy who only has one fight at 135?
You are a joke, DLH. I'm happy Mayweather won the decision. I figure you thought you would beat him solely on the fact that you're taller and bigger.
I think you are not talking about race really, you are talking about nationalities.
I point it out because it would be really hard to describe Puerto Ricans as a one race nation.
Anyway, I know what you say. Tito Trinidad and his father have said things that made me mad, and I was going for both Hopkins and Jones. Among those things was his father saying in the newspaper that John Ruiz wasn't a real Puertorican and that the real Puertorican champion was Trinidad.
Its crazy.
The bottom line is that all these guys are in it for the money and they do not give a shit about competition, or indeed weighclasses. Probably Calzaghe has now joined the money-go-round, Pavlik has too by the look of it.
Isn't Pavlik going to fight Hopkins?
1. Paul Williams - Plans to move to 160.
2. Floyd - Retired.
3. Oscar - Looking for an easy fight.
4. "El Pillín" Santos - 154 pounder. Won't make 147 for anyone.
So Andre Berto is the man. I would really like to see Cotto/Williams.
my soul is lost and i think Bernard may have taken it,
i hear he takes souls,
can anyone give me some help to find it or hunt down B-Hop
, does he still live in Philly or am i going to have to scour the Whole of America?
Looking for it all by myself is very lonely so i need support,
B-Hop give me back my soul!!!!!!!
I thought Tito only spoke Spanish.
Since you are in England, that time difference has gotta be a killer sometimes.
I can see myself getting all amped up for a fight then falling asleep before it starts, like saying to myself ok I am just gonna take a little nap, then I wake up just as it has ended.
When I was a little kid, that same F@CKIN SH1T happened to me the night of Mercer/Morrison.
I hate myself for that to this very day.
BUMP!
F%CK THE STREAMS... if you ain't paying, don't start whining about GBP "Money Fights" later. If there was ever a fight worth paying for, it's this one!
Bullshit. Are you Arum's accountant?
If I can watch for free I will. I'll be at an AC casino, spending my fifty on martinis instead and watching their satellite.
Not at all, I'll be coughing up my 50 dollars also.
I believed in the planned boycott of DLH/Mayweather 2. For similar reasons, I believe in paying for this one.
6 more posts bro, and you will be a champ too!
I'll work on it right now lol
Better be a champ in case Margarito scored the uppercut from hell on Cotto lol
You're on a boxing forum trying to get boxing fans to buy the fight of the year? You're preaching to the choir mate saying almost everybody here will be watching the fight so you need to get on some other forums that aren't boxing related and convince them
1000th post!
Yes, but some of them are looking for sopcast/justin.tv links. It should be about paying for these kind of fights, and watching streams of DLH/PBF 2.
What a punk! First, he claimed Cotto has OK power and then this garbage. I went to his website and called him to the carpet:
"So do you think lost cause of your hand? Why did you tell eveyone you were 100% when you weren't? People were betting money on you - your loyal fans on this site were supporting you to beat Cotto. You knew all this before going into training for the fight - I just don't think that was a smart decision considering you could have damaged it for good. Maybe you felt pressured you wouldn't get a shot at the title; just think you owe your fans better than that."
lol lol lol lol lol lol
I see you appear online there. Waiting for an answer?
