All flags point to Manny Pacquiao being another notch on the steroid athlete belt. If it comes out eventually that he's done such a thing it could single-handedly bring the sport to its knees. The Pacquiao brand, if you will, is a cash cow for the sport. What blows me the fk away is how do you throw away $40 million bucks? Honestly, I'm flipping the fk out if a twenty is missing. wtf. But seriously though, Manny is tripping and he's ultimately showing himself has a dodger. You don't walk away from $40 million being of sane mind and able body over a fking test. Sorry! Ya just don't do that. It destroys the boundaries of logic.
Too much credit my ass.
Those guys from the old days fought longer rounds, had smaller gloves....what were they 6oz gloves....it was dam near mma rules back then. Todays fighter are literally little girls in comparison to yesterdays crew of Titans.
You don't grow up eating out of garbage cans in Colombia to give up or bow out like some punk. He'll be back. Obviously, the ass-kickings he received from Pavlik and Abraham, had to give his training team notice of what needs to be corrected. That said, the career of a puncher is never a long one, unless, they learn to box and defend saving their bombs for the right time.
I'm positive that Spanish speaking Afro-Colombian will be back with a vengeance.
LMFAO!!! That Brit must've been shitting his pants.....
What a stupid fking comment to make to a fighter. To even insinuate any "cutting of the gloves" was ignorant and of poor taste. I 'm learning that Brits have a problem with class..... and supposedly Americans are supposed to be the ignorant dummies.....
Is Calzaghe the best that Bernard has ever fought? Hmmmm, I'm going to have to reply with "No!" He may have the best record, padded record that is, that Bernard has ever fought, but that's about it.
Roy Jones is without a doubt the best fighter Hopkins has ever fought. If you didn't see the fight check it out on youtube it answers the question to this thread, completely.
When B-Hop and Calzaghe came face to face for the first time I also saw the fear in Calzaghe. Its really easy to see man. Doesn't mean Calzaghe is a punk but yeah first time they went face to face Calzaghe look like a bitch.
Agreed! Calzaghe looked like he crapped himself....Bernard was on point with that observation. Calzaghe eyes told the story...he had that bitch look on his face, like he wanted to say. "Please don't beat me up Mr. Hopkins"
Center of gravity. Shorter, stockier legs have a better center of gravity, as opposed to chicken legs. Simpy put, a stronger foundation makes for a stonger chin...
However, I will say this, Evander Holyfield is one the buffest dudes in boxing history but his legs, below the knee, look like number 2 pencils but man can that man take a punch! Bowe dam near decapitated him....
Wink, was an absolute fool for not taking the Taylor rematch. He could've been the first to expose the over-hyped, one dimensional Taylor had he done so. But no, he wanted to whine about money. Can't say I blame him after being avoided throughout his career.
Now that Taylor has been exposed and will be further exposed in the rematch with Pavlik, Winks chances of a highly anticipated rematch with Taylor go flushing down the toilet. Oh well, that's boxing.
Agreed! Nothing can stop Klit....he just too big, too strong, and too skilled for anyone in the heavyweight division right now. Line them up and they are all getting stretched!
He points out the most obvious things that make you say...well DUH! Or...No shit. He can't speak properly without going cold half the time. Last night he couldn't say the word athletism. I mean shit, this man has no commentating skills at all. Obviously because he was world champ they let him commentate, but they gotta rethink it. I prefer Foreman 10x over this guy. Foreman at least was lively, funny at times, and said rediculous things that sometimes you had to think about for a second or 2. It made him seem smart even if he wasn't all there. Lennox on the other hand is a waste of a commentating chair. Bring back Roy! Now I realize just how damn good he was at commentating.
Agreed! Even my girl, when she listens to Lewis commentate, she's like "What the hell is he talking about". And she knows nothing about boxing.
I've always known about the speculation surrounding Louis' death(involvement with the mafia, and drug-dealers, etc). I was glad to see that HBO didn't add any of that to the documentary. Kudos.
On the other hand, I never knew that Schmeling got the soda endorsement and became super rich off of it. While the African-American man was left with nothing, after supporting his country in war and in the ring.
You'd think that the white powers that be(Owners of Coca Cola) back then, would have had the decency to offer the opportunity to Louis but, no they gave it to an Enemy of the State, in Schmeling. We were at war with Germany and they put money in a German mans pocket simply because he was white. Un-fcking believable!!! I almost fell out of my bed listening to that shit last night!!!!
And people wonder why African-Americans are angry. Shit like this is why. Louis deserved to be treated fairly by his country and they shitted on him, like they've shitted on African-Amercans for centuries. Dam shame.
All men are created equal? Not in America
My perception of Cintron is he has confidence issues, poor foot-work, and terrible defense. After hearing his declaration that this fight would be dedicated to his Puerto Rican people, I thought I would've seen a different fight other than an almost exact replay of their initial fight.
Anyway, it's painfully obvious to Cintron now that Margarito kicks his ass 7 days a week, 365 days a year, and least we forget, 24 hours a day. Manny can not give that young man heart. Your either born with it or you ain't. Cintron needs to move up to 154, he has the frame for it, because dancing with any of the elite at 147 is only another brutal beat down for him.
Brian Viloria looked out of his character in his last fight, but think he may get his revenge in the rematch.
I'm just curious on what you guys think? Despite Viloria's aweful performance last time, will he be more aggressive this time around?
He better get his revenge now or this could be the end of his career. The marketability of the little guys is tough enough, add in a guy whose heart is questionable, and he's going no where fast.
Both Guzman and Pacquiao give each other problems. Guzman's slickness could frustrate the hell out of Pacman....That said, Manny's power can lay Guzman out! Its a pick em type fight, I'd love to see happen.
Roy has had many memorable fights. Anyone who claims he didn't fight anyone, or he could've fought this person or that person, needs to chill. The man has done things in the ring that fans like us may never see the likes of again, you must respect that!
He ain't done either....he just said today he'd knock Tarter's ass out in a 4th fight and if anyone believes that Woods or Calzaghe make Roy shake in his boots, you're crazy.
First, I'm a Mayweather fan but can't for the life of me justify why he would refuse $50 million dollars and the proceeds of PPV for a fight with Manny. It isn't justifiable on any level. If you're dealing with legal issues, domestic issues, etc. just tell the fans instead of making yourself look retarded Floyd!WTF!
We all have been waiting PATIENTLY for this fight to be made and both parties are responsible for it being screwed up. Manny was initially refusing to take the steroid test past 14 days prior to the fight and now Floyd is turning down $50 million dollars during a ****ing recession. Even, if I'm rich, I'm not dumb enough to turn down an extra $50 million. WTF!
I'm about sick of Manny and Floyd right now. Both, are retards, for playing with the emotions and feelings of the true boxing enthusiast!
I totally agree that Mosley' demolition of Margarito was a masterpiece in comparison to Pacquiao' artwork. No disrespect to Manny' performance but in this sport the ultimate goal has and always will be the 'knockout'. Shane beat the hell out of Margarito. Crushed him like a grape. Squashed him like a cock-a-roach...you get the point.
If I were to cast a vote as to whose performance was more menacingly brutal I'd say Shane'....that last punch that sent Margocheato to the floor was crushing!
I shuttered the moment I heard this fight was made. Miguel Cotto is shot and anyone who believes that there is anything left in that tank, you're fooling yourself. Think back to the last rounds of his second fight with Margarito and you can see he survived getting out of that fight by the very skin of his teeth.
Had Margacheato been given the opportunity to continue Miguel would have succumb to the pressure without question. Now, they are placing a fighter whose confidence has been systematically raped from him by the hands of Pacquiao and Margarito into the ring with the best fighter of this generation. The annihilation that Floyd Mayweather will inflict upon Miguel Cotto will be Mayweather-Gatti-esque in comparison. Floyd's speed will pick the Puerto Rican apart piece by piece.
Miguel Cotto does not have the boxing ability to trade with Floyd Mayweather. Floyd will have nailed him ten times before Miguel gets one shot on Mayweather! To even believe that Cotto has a moticum of a chance in this fight is complete insanity. This will be the ass-whoopin of Cotto's career.
Props to Dirrell for handling that punk Abraham like a true professional. Abraham tried those same rough-house tactics with Miranda. Fortunately, for Abraham, he was in his own backyard and the shit was allowed. As we witnessed, he tried that horseshit in America and now he's going home looking like an idiot. If Dirrell was acting....BRAVO!!!!!!!!! Its called intelligence. Why give Abraham the opportunity to potentially knock him out when he fouls him after a slip? **** that. After the foul, whether Dirrell acted or not, Abrahams stupidity clearly won the fight for Dirrell.
because roach is the most famous trainer right now.
shouldn't be too hard to figure out
That isn't the point simpleton. Yes, he is the most famous but is he the most deserving?
Juanma is a joke! Did anyone hear this lunatic say that the cause of his ass whooping was the refs gambling problems! LMAO! That has to be one of the dumbest excuses ever used in boxing history. This kid is no Cotto and dam sure isn't a Trinidad. What he is however is a little cry-baby:bottle: that got his ass beat by a man.
Juanma, what a joke this guy is.... What an embarrassment to the island of Puerto Rico and its rich history in the sport of boxing. Just pathetic! Juanma reminds me of a spoiled little child who whines and cries when he doesn't get his way. And, its laughable that this "child" wanted to tango with my Cuban brother Gamboa. That's hilarious! Gamboa would've destroyed this guy!
He made himself look foolish when he attempted to place blame on a referee that is probably responsible for saving his dam life more than anything. Juanma was on 42nd and queer street about to get demolished if he was given the opportunity to continue. Bravo to the ref for saving what's left of his pathetic career. If he had a moticum of boxing intelligence he would've gotten up a little slower, taken a knee and regained his composure. No, he had to be MachoMan in front of the PR crowd jumping up immediately like a dumbass. Intelligence in all things goes a long way.
Que idiota.
I don't blame the ref for one second for rejecting that weak apology either because it does zero to fix the refs reputation after this "child" defamed it. There is nothing worse than a sore loser which is usually a clear indication of immaturity and a lack of manhood.
Yes, most boxers have their nonsensical bs excuses when losing a fight but Baby Juanma's takes the cake in my opinion. So, let me get this straight Baby Juanma, the ref has a gambling problem and he's the reason you got your ass handed to you from pillar to post? Ok, got it! Kick rocks man you've stunk up the joint! Retire now before you embarass the island of Puerto Rico's boxing heritage any further!
In the words of George Lopez, "Mas Puto"
It's taken me a good ten minutes to stop laughing hysterically at the title of this thread...

Juanma is a fraud. He is seconds away from getting KTFO! What I find hysterical is that he wanted to tango with Gamboa. LMAO! Gamboa would crush this kid. His arrogance is his greatest weakness.
Both are thong wearers...
