Remember GGG was a silver Medalist in the 04 Olympics usually those guys have stepped it up earlier than this there is no excuse for GGGs best win to be Daniel Geale.
McGregor and Rousey are bigger than Canelo and any other boxer not named Pacquiao or Mayweather that is not even close debatable.
While Boxing fans are at odds with each other, UFC is Taking Over! Casuals will buy more UFC and less Boxing
The only thing that can save Boxing is PBC.
Canelo not speaking English will hurt him in the long run even pac with his broken English was good for him and his exposure in the US. GGG and Wilder imo have the best chance of becoming the next may and pac imo.
Do you know how much money Coner was paid for that fight? Was he paid as much as Canelo will be paid for fighting Cotto? I think in those big MMA shows the promoter makes most of the money and not that much money goes to the fighters.
Of course the mma guys are ripped off especially the ones in the UFC doesn't change the fact that McGregor is more known in the U.S.
PBC can't save Boxing, I fear that Boxing is far too gone now. Boxing will just live off of its Core fans much like Hockey does but it is no question that the UFC is in a better place going into the future than Boxing is and will ever be. Dana White knows how to promote fighters and they know how to build STARS.
Jon Jones out, McGregor and Rousey steps up and become the face of his Brand then once he gets Jon Jones back the Brand becomes even more powerful with more star power!
Boxing it so out of touch it is hilarious, Boxing still don't take advantage of the internet like the should while you see UFC all on youtube they absolutely BLOW boxing away as far s views for their youtube content and also how they use Social Media.
Boxing been living off of Mayweather success and now that he is gone UFC smells blood and they will bury boxing with McGregor vs Aldo which I think will do better than Canelo vs Cotto and GGG vs Lemeiux
The exposure of being on CBS,NBC and ESPN is bigger than anything the UFC can do. UFC hurts it's exposure being on PPV. Their is no guarantee that McGregor or Rousey will be around for as long as Mayweather and Pacquio were.
if danny garcai dont fight porter,thurman,broner,or spence after this crappy guererero fight them im done with that dude for real
bruh been getting a pass for way to long now,he still got herrera and peterson problems
Broner? Glad to see your still retarded!
HAD MANNY not messed that eye up, Cotto was about to face Satan in hell in those last 3 rounds.
There is no doubt Margarito would have stopped and made Cotto quit again. Cotto hates those rounds because he gasses like a little bish.
And I'm Puerto Rican by the way but I have to keep it real.
You aint rican shut the fck up!
What is it with Provodnikov beating up shot boxers? I hope Mosley somehow has enough left to f*ck him up.
Dang Bo why you going at Provo he has given us some great wars.
This won't go down well :lol1:
I scored both 9-3
But I'd say Whitaker-Chavez, Whitaker dominated him in every area. Inside, outside, mid range. Everywhere.
I don't remember Chavez landing any clean significant punches in that fight.
I think so.
3 division titlist
lineal flyweight champ
Wins over Estrada, Yaegashi, Nilda and Takayama
Then you have to look at the "it" factor and he has been completely dominant in his run so far. You can't determine who the best pound for pound fighter in the world is by printing out BoxRec sheets and going name by name. You have to see him fight to know if he is the best.
Gonzalez,Klitschko, and Ward are the top 3 imo you can put them in any order.
Wrong, Ward needs to prove himself all over again.
You don't get any favours in the boxing world when you've beat nobodies like who ummm Smith and?
Andre Ward is on verge to enter maybe top 20 with another fight but what weighs on him making top 10 is him fighting someone like DeGale or maybe... pfft its hard to say the 168 division is dead.
Its either get a big fight with GGG at catchweight or wait for Golovkin to throw you a bone or go to 175lbs for him to make any real statement for top 3.
Boxrec top 10 isn't fully correct but the top 5 is right.
He cleaned out 168 and knocked out the light heavyweight champion he done enough to stay in the top 3 who would you put ahead of him?
