So the guy who could have one of the biggest fight in British boxing history, who is ducking Kell Brook himself, is saying that Brook will duck Porter lol?
Is Collazo really that much of a bigger name in the States than Kell Brook is in the UK?
Khan wants the Mayweather fight and a win over Brook right now would not make even a tiny splash across the pond. Brook needs to get a title at least to become relevant.
So then we should be seeing Khan vs. Porter/Thurman next? Winner meets Mayweather in May?
Na he's with Haymon.
Similar benefits, instead of performance benefits tho he just doesn't have to fight anybody
LOL very true...Al Haymon and the promotional companies are loving this GBP/Haymon-HBO cold war...it means the television networks can't force them to put on good fights...Stevenson will beat this nobody then beat the 50 year old guy who accuses people of using PEDs while he refused to take a test vs. Pascal and has never been tested...
Al Haymon knew that Kovalev would have Bronered Stevenson js...
If he beats Groves and DeGale, it should finally sink in.
Lol @ needing to beat DeGale...DeGale has done nothing but lose to Groves..
The wins over Groves, Abraham, Kessler, and JT back when he was still legit...are what matter...
When Froch uses his jab, he is a dangerous fighter. But DeGale needs to STFU and actually fight a real opponent. He fought one real opponent, Groves and lost...
DeGale' record against legit fighters = 0-1
Besides losing two close fights to Pacquiao...it should have been a 3rd one also very clearly if a judge new simple addition..and winning landing two punches in a fight he looked like the Incredible Hulk....Marquez's career has been kind of lackluster...this fight is the perfect example...fighting a guy coming off a knock out loss with no title at stake...
I'm actually going for Alvarado now because I want to see Arum try to sell an Alvarado-Pacquiao fight with a straight face especially after he said Broner was mediocre...
Pac v. Alavarado in Macau does less than Rios ppv wise...
Alvarado win = better chance Pacquiao doesn't resign with Top Rank js.
Damn Marquez sounds confident without the random blood testing...I'm assuming Memo has fixed him up some incredible "piss shakes"...Marquez is going to transform into Juan Manuel PEDinimita Hulkquez!
LOL this guy is obsessed...gets knocked out by Danny Garcia, Prescott, goes , loses to an average Lamont Peterson, goes life and death with a washed up, over-the-hill Julio Diaz, and beats an average-punching powered Collazo who he clinched and pulled the down the head of all night...
And now he's a threat to Floyd....GPB and Showtime..are really trying to sell this fight lol..if you watch Showtime or listen to GBP reps..you would be certain that a Khan fight is much bigger and he's more of a threat than Pacquiao lol..I'm really laughing over this situation
In a lil over a month, Cotto will be fighting the middleweight champion, in his first fight in the division, and is seen as a viable opponent. But two years ago was too late to be a viable opponent for the welterweight champion moving up to fight him. How f.uckin' stupid is that?
I agree with you on this point. But Floyd-worshipers also said that Cotto was drained vs Pacquiao lol. But when Floyd fights Canelo at 152, Floyd-worshipers say that it's only two pounds and Canelo's manager is an idiot for agreeing to it. And when Pac beats De La Hoya and Hatton, Pac is beating Floyd's leftovers. But when Floyd beats Cotto, Floyd is fighting a non-drained Cotto lol. So we can agree that Floyd and Pac fans tailor their arguments to make the case for their favorite fighter.
I would prefer pacquaio vs broner, and marquez vs garcia, but unless its pac vs garcia at 140 i havr a problem with the fight. I mean shouldnt garcia be given a tuneup at ww rather then throw him in there with pac in his ww debut??? Pac had an easy transition by draing de la hoya down to a weight class he hasnt fought in 7 years! Thats absurd they are knocking at danny's door at this time, when they got loud mouth broner calling pac out! Can broner beat the filopecan? That fight would be a ppv blockbuster!!!
Fighters can't move up one weight division without being babied now LOL? Pac is a much smaller guy than Garcia naturally...wtf is wrong with you people lol seriously...
Garcia has started at 140 and Pac started at 106...
When your S&C Coach is a known steroid chemist who is also a snitch hell yea you want dem tests.
Umm you do realize Pacquiao didn't say that, right.. lol? Might have been clever if Pac or his team actually said it and not Bob Arum...
Difference is..Marquez hired a guy who is known for cheating Olympic-testing and just snitched to get out of trouble for it
Obviously Mayweather will never fight outside of Vegas and lose the comfort of having NSAC, Vegas judges and USADA all in his favor in every fight...
I still never agreed with this idea that "PPV sales are hurt when you fight in another part of the world" - the excuse Arum tried to make for Pac-Rios having low numbers.
The only way fighting overseas affects PPV sales is if the time of the fight is affected. I doubt anyone in the U.S. who follows boxing and is aware of the fight will not order a fight on PPV because it is in another country...
You can promote the fight in the U.S. all the way up to week of the fight..no need to promote the fight in the host country...
I think this will be Floyd's last fight. Khan is right, this will be huge! If Khan can beat a top welterweight opponent this year, I believe a Khan vs. Mayweather fight will break the Mayweather vs. Canelo records.
LOL have to love the Delusional Floydiots...
Your hero Floyd will never fight outside of Vegas where has a lot of influence of NSAC...
Here's some irony for you, courtesy of Floyd-worshiping Floydiots:
Brook asks Porter to "take the tests," Floydiots: Brook is ducking Porter; Brook is scared...
(HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING) Porter agrees to the testing, and then Brook puts another demand on Porter...
"Porter is ducking Brook, Porter already agreed to the random-blood testing, what more does Brook want Porter to do...Brook is just ducking, he's scared no doubt about it..."
Now replace the name Porter with Pacquiao and Brook with Mayweather...
Get the picture, Floydiots? :killyou:
LOL So Donaire's really not going to even try to make the Rigo rematch happen? After all that ducking talk "Rigo hasn't done anything to deserve the fight" LOL
I think Marquez may be angling for a Bradley rematch even without the title belt, if he gets past Alvarado because he thought he beat him the first time.
In other words, the winning the 147 title was a cover for Marquez to duck Pacquiao and random-blood testing? Got ya!
Bob Arum is so full of **** lol. Everyone @ GBP are mediocre to him, but Alvarado and Rios aren't lol? Pac v. Broner does way better numbers than Pac v. Alvarado, I can't bet my life on that one.
Arum is a pos. I can't defend Pacquiao if he resigns with that greedy, control-freak pos Arum. Pac needs to finish out his contract and sign with GBP after his next fight...No reason to play musical chairs fighting the same opponents over and over...
Schaefer and Haymon have been ruining boxing for a while now. They are the reason GBP fighters can't fight on HBO. Schaefer has a huge ego for a guy who can be replaced very easily by smarter people who are less egotistical.
Oscar at least is more willing to put his ego aside and work with Arum (who is a pos in his own right) and hopefully HBO to bring better fights to the people.
Let Schaefer go promote the no names under Mayweather Promotions...
Titles only don't mean **** when it comes to a threat. When WBC put Pac as the mandatory for his title, he said he would vacate it lol.
LOL Very true. Pac has been making Floyd run for years...between giving up titles to retirements... I wouldn't be shocked to find out that Floyd got himself arrested that time on purpose to get a break from people asking him when is he going to fight Pacquiao...
I had Maidana winning the fight only the U.S. Media and online world are perpetrating this fraud that Floyd clearly won...
Show me how Floyd won rounds 1-6 or round 11...I've watched them 5 times. Maidana deserved nothing less than a draw...
Floyd is a coward who won't even let a guy use approved gloves that his own fighters wear lol... Floyd is supposed to be a leader? Being a coward and he's a leader? lol Really?
I'm sure Ruslan would have done a lot better if Roger Mayweather trained him...because Roger has trained so many world champions not named Mayweather..oh wait...
Gamboa showed his gifts and talent, but Crawford is solid and elite fighter. He adapted and went for the jugular. Great performance.
Elite fighter? LOL Crawford is an elite fighter...Wow, typical prisoner of the moment, no? He beat a weak-chinned smaller fighter and now he's elite lol...
Let's see what Crawford does against bigger guys who can take his power before we label him as "elite." I saw a lot of flaws in Crawford..now maybe he knew he was bigger and could take Gamboa's shot so he wasn't as defensive but let's see what he does with the big boys at 40-47 before we start putting on that elite level.
He fights for Top Rank, so I'm assuming this fight puts him the Pacquiao sweepstakes lol...Alvarado, Tim Bradley, or Algieri...could be opponents as well...
Floyd fought Cotto after Pacquiao had destroyed Cotto..and Mayweather couldn't even beat Cotto more impressively than Pac even after that...
This version of Cotto beats the version of Mayweather who basically lost to Maidana and got hit over 200 times...
Cotto would have to KO Mayweather or at least knock him down and dominate to get a decision in Vegas though...
Mayweather will never take the fight at this point...he has way too many demands...as I've listed in my previous postings...
And if those demands are met...I doubt Mayweather is taking anything risky at this point..I expect Mayweather to fight Maidana/Khan/Garcia...
Maidana being the only one who obviously poses a serious threat to Mayweather of the 3 after being robbed by the judges...and will be forced to wear pillows for gloves again..
Floyd tries to gain every unfair advantage he can get in fights....and he has the right to do that..and I have the right to stream his fights instead of ordering them...
