Mike needs to seriously spank one of these funny ass reporters. Only after that these dudes will maybe think before even looking at him let alone have the balls to go and talk to him. I dont care how much Tyson has changed if i see him in the streets i am still gonna think twice before i go up to him and ask anything lol.
Mayweather did call out Mosley in the past, a few times I know. He gets unfairly criticized for ducking Mosley when he already called him out. But I never suggested he ducked Mosley, I know that's not true, I'm just saying now is the right time for the both of them to fight. It would be a big money fight either way, but also it would establish who is truly the best in the division. Most people have the both of them at either Number 1 or 2 Top WW right now. I hope the fight happens in 2010 because Mosley's getting old now, I'd guess he hasn't got much time left in the ring.
The catchweight issue is something many have criticized Pac for recently, me included. I think especially if you're going to fight for the belts, insisting on a catchweight should almost exclude you from being eligible for the title. Roach is aware that weight-draining an opponent can effect their performance. They stipulated that Cotto could weigh in at 147 if he pays $2 Million but that isn't really much of a compromise.
Everyone is now saying Floyd should fight Mosley and finally prove who is the better fighter at WW. But guess what everybody is going to start saying as soon as Floyd beats Shane ''Oh Shane is too old now, he is past his prime blah blah blah''. Ok sure, not everybody would believe that Floyd beating Shane is a certainty but I believe Shane is no match for Floyd in his prime.
Weight issues aside but Floyd made the Marquez fight look like a walk in the park and this is after a couple of years out against a guy who is regarded as one of the best in the business. Without question the fight was deliberately set up for a Floyd victory but he did what he was supposed to do and even better. But the criticism Floyd has recieved has been a bit over the top but each to their own. The way Floyd got criticised was like he fought a complete over weight amatuer who couldn't box to save his life.
So why should Floyd waste his time in fighting Shane when he can just fight the winner of Pacquiao/Cotto. I can already imagine the critics coming out of every angle saying how Floyd should have fought Mosley years back and how Shane is way past his prime and the next thing they are going to say is Floyd needs to fight a Miguel Cotto. If Cotto beats Manny then I believe Floyd will have no choice but to fight him and if Pacquiao wins, which i believe will happen, then Floyd can by-pass Mosley and Cotto to set up if not the biggest, but atleast one of the biggest fights in boxing history.
PS Floyd would mop the floor with Shane and you are just stupid to believe Shane at this stage his career can even stay with Floyd.
Haye is more than just a boxer when it comes to the females. That was just a lil bonus for Haye but the main attraction was without question the David Vs Goliath promotion. It should not be hard to sell a World Heavy Weight Championship fight against the biggest heavyweight in history and a highly ambitious and vocal chalenger who happens to appeal heavily to females.
I don't know what Golden Boy actually did, surely they must have done something, but Haye was hillarious and down right taking the piss during the whole promotions campaign. I felt kind of bad for Valuev cos he can't help how he looks lol and Haye just went on the offensive with no care in the world and without question he made the fight more attractive for casual fans.
Oh and Jim Watt should get sacked from commentating anymore. This dude needs to go work for an American broadcaster cos his commentary was shocking beyond belief. The old scot had me thinking Valuev was beating the shit out of Haye and Haye was just running around to save his life. Jim Watt was the prick who said Haye should stick to the hit and run tactics before the fight but also added quite blatently that Haye does not have the mental capacity to hold back and would just go for the kil when the bell rings. How wrong was he and he still criticised Haye for doing that and even gave Valuev rounds for just walking up to Haye and missing misserably for virtually the entire fight.
Barry Mcguigan should perhaps also start to support British Fighters more often. This pessimist had Froch to lose against Direll and even after the fight was adamant Froch did not deserve to win and he also said Haye would lose to Valuev and i need to check out what he has to say about that.
Just needed to vent my feelings. LoL
Pac Man is too quick for Cotto and i just do not see Cotto causing any serious troouble to Pacquiao. Although i also can not see how Paquiao will stop Cotto. I go for Pac Man UD.
LMFAO. These sparring dudes feeling themselves a bit too much. Cotto had some of the weakest sparring partners and this guy Kenny lol thinks that if Cotto can give him a tough time then Manny will lose lol.
They should let Shawn Porter fight this dude and let that 17 year old fight that Dukes fellow and then we will see whats what.
hard too call him overrated,when no-one really rates him at all
Lol exactly. Nobody is UK aside from Nottingham knows about Carl Froch and it is sad really. His world title fight against Taylor was only shown a few days after the actual fight and it was shown on ITV 2 LMAO. They even show more Audley Harrison fights than Froch fights. Plus none of the British pundits rate Froch and even after winning the fight against Direll he was still getting a lot of criticism.
They didnt even show the Direll fight live in the UK and it was fought in the UK lol. Froch needs to sort out his promotions quickly. The British public does not give too much shit about boxing until Haye beat Valuev and before then only Hatton was really supported. Calzaghe only became big after he fought Kessler and Hopkins. Its a shame but that is how it goes and BBC need to sort it out cos if Audley Harrison is getting more shine than Khan and Froch and Haye then there is something really wrong with the way boxing as a sport is being promoted in UK.
Lol at these idiots up in here trying to act like they figured out David Haye in one fight alone.
You must be Americans or you most definetly have the characteristics of one.
The interviewer wanted to blow Paulie right then and there lol.
I am sorry but if an over rated fighter beats you then you should just SHUT THE **** UP.
Pacquiao is going to destroy Cotto. These Cotto fans are so annoying right about now. Getting all emotional and saying oh wow Paulie is so smart GTFOH.
Ofcourse this guy is gonna pick a guy who destroyed his face lol.
''Oh Cotto is the hardest hitter i ever fought''. Who has he even fought lol. Juan Diaz? Lovemore Ndou?
You Cotto fans should concentrate more on thinking of great excuses to make after he gets whooped by Manny.
Its ET which is eastern time and that is New York time so we are only 5 hours ahead.
Fight shluld start around 4 am. I don't want to sleep but i might have to and set my alram for 3 am.
LMAOOOOOOO at Hamed. No wonder he was so hype after the KO cos he is thinking Amir got the KO cos of his lil advice haha.
But Amir needs to have at least one more fight in the UK as he is the world champion and he does'nt need to go off to America to fight Judah or Ortiz cos he can just make them come to the UK but if has the chance to fight in the undercard of the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight then boy he should take that once in a lifetime opportunity.
I am loving how Manny is already seen as an underdog for many boxers and boxing experts. This is how Manny likes it and he has always risen to the challeneg when asked of him and dude produces some unbelievable performances.
But at least Manny gets something in his favour cos this fight imo is way too soon to take place and for a fight of this magnitude that fat old cunt Arum should have given Manny more time. That swine is trying to cash in on Manny before he gets into politics and does not think about trying to make this fight what it deserves.
Im a huge Wlad fan but I HATE THESE THREADS. It can only bring negative karma.
We should be posting how david haye is a great fighter.
Posting and taunting David Haye and his fans will only come back to bite us Wlad/Vitali fans in the ass.
Hillarious.
So true. Stewart is a very experienced trainer and typically in fights where he mentions of the opponent being very good, they've lost fights. Look at Hamed and Barerra, Stewart kept mentioning to Hamed that this guy is a much stronger animal than his past opponents.
The fact Stewart acknowledges Haye's attributes...gives me a feeling that he knows that Wlad is gonna have trouble.
Yeah I remember watching the Prince Naseem behind the scenes footage and you can tell that StewarD was not overly confident about Hamed winning. He is obviously a very independently minded person and does not get bothered with the hype. He tells it how he sees it and he has already stated so many time about how David Haye is Wladimirs greatest challenge.
Whatever Steward says or does is not the big issue now. People are very stupid to believe that David Haye will stand right in front of Wladimir all night long waiting to get tagged by the jabs lol. It is inevitable that Wlad will land but he better be ready for those Hayemakers because they will be heading towards his chin very soon.
Sky promo makes it look out to be Rocky 4, with Wlad and the stats like he's a machine and Haye hitting meat just like Rocky.
Lol nothing gets past you dude. You might be the quickest brain on NSB.
The Primetime team are just a bunch of Sky Sports and ITV Sport rejects. Why on earth was Robin Reid chosen as a pundit alongside the Mccloskey nuthugger Steve Collins. At one point the presenter had to constantly tell them to cut down on criticising Amir Khan and it was ridiculous to watch. Thank god I did not pay for that show and I will never pay for a Primetime show.
Amir Khan better start doing his promos in the mosques of England because he is unlikely to get decent exposure and the only reason he was able to pull 50k buyers on Primetime was due to all the promo he got from Ringside and Sky.
In one sense this may be a strong move by Amir but he has yet to establish himself as an elite Sports star and it too Ricky Hatton years of grinding out victories on Sky Sports to then push over to Sky Box Office. I will be very surprised if there are 50k buys against Zab.
I can't believe how gullible people are. Good luck getting HBO on board for a rematch of that one.
LMAO why the hell are you worried about HBO?
Haye needs to have a rematch but if he thought Wladimir had things his way for this fight then god knows how much control Wladimir will have over the rematch fight. Haye would only be a voluntary challenger and therefore a smaller size of the purse and he would also be giving away any sort of advantage that he might have before and during the fight.
Wladimir is definitely a great champion and deserves a lot of praise the way he has respected the sport and in particular the HW division. Haye did what he had to do in order to make Wladimir divert from his systematic boxing formula but it did not work. Haye was lunging embarrassingly during the fight and his constant complaining was cringe worthy.
In all honesty the rematch would not play out that differently from last nights show. Haye can complain all he wants about the pinky toe injury but the truth of the matter is that Wladimir was too clever for him and he was never able to put any pressure on Wladimir,
What does that even mean?!?!
Yeah my bad for not reading over my comment. What I was trying to get at was that Haye did not deserve to take away the championship belt.
Wow people are still debating about whether David beat Value lol. Jim Watt must have made everyone believe Haye was loosing by a far margin. I thought the fight was terrible and I remember thinking what on earth is going on in the HW division these days. Haye landed more punches but he didn't deserve to win. He did more out of the two but I wouldn't be bragging about that fight for too long if I was Haye.
Proving my theory right that Amir Khan fans can only afford counterfeit bootlegs and you guys even know the price.
Hahahahahahahha, I knew it. You see I dont buy fake stuff, I dont work at a flea-market like you guys and dont specialize in importing fake stuff. Do you buy only fake stuff and pretend its real? So you look cooler?
I think Wazaa is going to china-town to buy this same outfit today.
Killll Yourself You low life MOFO LMFAO. WTF are you even talking about you bloody idiot?
Really? I guess they should be like USA where Euro's get Robbed (Sturm-DLH, Kotelnik-Alexander) countless more
or like UK where Referee decides winner and everyone knows you get robbed in UK.
Germany only had Otke fight as a huge robbery, this was no robbery, it was a close fight. oh and BTW it was a MEXICAN WHO SCORED IT 116-112.
I am going to take a stab in the dark and say you did not even watch the Sturn-DLH fight. You just seem like a little bulls'hitter.
All I know now for sure is that Jim Watt is an undercover Naziboy.
WHY THE F'UCK IS HE WORRIED ABOUT THE JUDGES LOL. Score the fight how you see it you old fart and stop thinking what the next man sees. Such an old tit, Adam Smith needs to get rid of this fool once and for all.
Macklin is the most over-rated Uk fighter there is. Darren Barker would spank him.
Over rated? Who in the UK even rates Macklin? And Darren Bark has done f'uck all to even be talked about. Macklin has prooven himself on the European level and now he is doing a stellar job at World level.
That advert was cringeworthy. I don't know why Sky has to make lame promotional adverts when they could have easily had a 24/7 type show to give the fans what they deserve. After all these years without a big heavyweight fight and all we get is a cheap advert that disrepects the Rocky movie?
Nobody would have cared about this fight a decade ago. The main reason why there is so much hype behind this fight is because Wladimir is fighting a genuine challenger and not some bloated fighter going for a paycheck.
The level of this interest just shows how these Klitschko Bros have ruined the HW division for a decade with their robotic style of fighting and nobody wants to pay to watch mundane fights.
I don't think this fight will generate more revenue than Lewis-Tyson but it should brake a few British records.
Its costing them 1m for the whole SKY show, which includes all their commentators,staff,expenses etc. His entrance is included in that.
You must be retarded to think that a phone booth + a black cab + CGI = 1m pounds
This might be the most sane thing you have ever said Medved. Keep it up.
Kinda wish Haye wasn't such a cunt, I'd love to be a Haye fan right now.
Lol you mental midgets never seize to amaze me. Now that you see the support Haye is getting you want to jump on the Bandwagon lol. Its all good, don't be such a pretentious prick and support your countryman.
What can you say about an idiot who wants to see Pacquiao against a dude who comes in at 170 plus lol. They just do not want to give Manny his props for doing stuff that nobody has done in a long time and certainly nobody in this era of boxing. Floyd ducked and weaved his way to all those titles in different weight classes. Manny beating Margarito at 150 is a lot more greater than Floyd beating Oscar at 154. Oscar is one of the most over rated fighters in the history of boxing imo. God only knows how he lost all of his mega fights and yet he has made more money than all of those guys put together. Mosley, Hopkins, Trinidad and Floyd.
