Frankie Funtime Gavin, from Birmingham, England. He was rated as better than Amir Khan in the amateurs and was world amateur champion in 2007 (and he's not even Cuban!) . Problem is, he has a small town mentality and still knocks about with his old pals. He needs to relocate and train/spar in the US/Mexico to improve..........
Froch is gonna spark this guy.
Ward is American and black and the Yanks think that is enough.
They don't take Europeans seriously and take white Europeans even less seriously.
Ward is going to be in deep water and shall get stopped.
fat 12 yo girls
Forgive me for finding the divisions south of super bantam menial and boring...it was a nice writeup by Cliff, but c'mon now...straw is a garbage division. I can appreciate Finito, but don't try to tell me dudes who weigh less than 12 year old girls are badasses...there is no way you can be 105 lbs and be a badass at the same time...the laws of thermodynamics forbid it.
12 year old girls weighing over 7 and a half stone (105 pounds) !?!?!?!
Do you live in one of those 'fat camps' ?!?!?!?!?!?!
i have a friend working as a policeman over here who moved here from SA after working there as a policeman for a few years. He works in the ****tiest places in London and says it is like heaven compared to what he was used to in SA. He told me that every single night they found two or three bodies that had been chopped up or shot in the townships. However, when they tried to investigate.... No one had seen anything, no one had heard anything, no one knew the dead persons, no one wanted to talk to the police..... etc etc etc. More often that not, they just used to roll the corpses into the ditches beside the roads and drive off: It just wasn't worth wasting their time and public money when no-one wanted to talk or help them. The place is ****ed up and a ****hole.
Groves is clueless if he thinks Warren is better for his career.
You mugs who think him switching is good for his career are clueless too.
Warren'll wangle him a shot at the (surprise surprise) WBO inter continental title after knocking over 2 or 3 bums. Then he'll go for the (surprise surprise) WBO title after knocking over another 2 or 3 bums. He'll be a cash cow, without ever testing himself against the best American SMWs.
Just like Calzaghe and Hatton were till they wised up and jumped ship.
Slice is a hype job. he's top heavy with a puncher's chance, nothing more.
he'll start blowing and get stopped in the first fight that's longer than 6 rounds.
you're dreaming if you think he is anything more.
Why the grief for W.Klitschko?
I can sum up the criticis of Wladimir Klitschko in one sentence:
He is a WHITE heavyweight, from the ex-RUSSIAN bloc, he is NOT American.
If he were black, and American, I'm sure we'd not see the criticism. In fact, i'd bet my house on it.
The cringeworthy search of the American boxing media for SOMEONE, ANYONE, SOMEWHERE, ANYWHERE, to beat him is really quite sad.
Clueless. Too many 'xbox' and 'Fight Night' fans on here. Klitschko has NOT EVEN LOST A ROUND against bigger, faster, better men for 7 years.
The opinions that we ought to listen to are ex-heavyweights of good pedigree.
Lennox Lewis thinks Haye'll lose, Mike Tyson thinks Haye'll lose by KO in 2 rounds.
Expect Haye to get humiliated and fade from view.
kimbo slice
he's top heavy.
he'll start puffing and blowing as soon as he gets past 3 rounds.
He'll be stopped as soon as he steps up to fights over 8 or 10 rounds.
Frankie Gavin has the potetial to be world class. It isn't going to happen at welterweight though, he has no business fighting any heavier than light welterweight. Until a someone has the balls to explain that to him, he's just wasting everyone's time.
bute settles for the super six loser.
I'm not sure why Ward agreed to even fight in this tourney, if he doesn't want to fight Bute. We all knew from day one that the Super6 winner was to challenge Bute.
Ward knows that he only looked good against Froch because Froch has slow feet. He knows he can't look anywhere near as good against Bute.
I suspect Ward'll sit tight for 6m then box a blown up welter or light middle. Probably a Hispanic boxer....... Yeah, we all know where this is going.
He (Ward) has CHOSEN to avoid the very person (Bute) he has supposedly been aiming for for the last 2 years.
Froch has the better resume, but there is no way you can rank him above Ward SINCE WARD BEAT HIM IN A HEAD-TO-HEAD MATCHUP. :wtf1:
With that kind of logic you must be a Pactard.
------------------------------------------------
sounds like you must be a gayweather chum, sneaking that name in to this thread. get a life.
Same.
Only fault is Price's lack of fights in 4 years but he's faced better comp than most other domestic Heavyweights.
British Heavyweight scene is very bright and will get brighter with Valily and Joshua. Shame the US only has Wilder and Mitchell.
Vallily and Joshua are likely to both end up as cruiserwieghts when they turn pro, rather than cannon fodder for the 6 foot 6 ers and sixteen stoners.
