I'll make an example of maidana and matthysse both fighters with high Ko ratios, yet you never hear them get booed even if they don't get the Ko. Why? Simple. They don't talk bout themselves in the the third person and best of all they never talk out their ass and say they will guarantee knockouts. They show up and let their hands do the talking.
Here you have Keith calling out Floyd and Pac yet he can't knockout out any of the aarp members he's faced.Time for a new alias mr "one time".
The bums you were sparring in Florida might've gone down from you hitting them one time.
You're in against heavy hitters now.
Screw those fans? Really? You might've had a handful of people there to see you Keith, majority of the people there were present to see khan and the likes.Stop talking like you've already made it.You have a ****en glass chin which is why you chose to box. Don't be stupid and shoot yourself in the foot by saying screw those fans be thankful they put money in your pockets and food on the table you stupid fuc k.
Can't wait for maidana to split this morons face in two.
You guys think khan has a glass chin, wait till "Keith the savior of the ww division thurman" fights a power puncher. Just like Bradley and Alexander, I see nothing special in this guy.
So I guess Thurman is thought to have a weak chin...
Or is at least some of it wishful thinking on the part of frustrated Maidana fans?
Other thing is I'm not sure that Thurman is getting enough credit for having smarts enough to box when he ought to. I was impressed in the Soto-Karass fight when One Time appeared to have accepted that he wasn't gonna' be able to get the KO and he spent a lot of time on his toes jabbing and giving angles and staying off the ropes mostly.
Were you impressed with Soto karass when he hurt Thurman and had him backpeddling? If I recall, karass never hurt maidana.
once again, based on what?? his stellar competition? or the fact that hid grest defense routinely causes him to get dropped? rigondeaux and floyd are very different fighters, but floyd is by far the more complete, experienced and accomplished fighter. its very very hard to argue rigondeaux is better.Rigondeaux schooled the #4 pfp fighter in his 12 pro fight. Don't bother replying.:lame:
Bro. All you're saying is Rigo is a better pure boxing talent than Floyd because he beat Donaire. If you don't see the flaws in that argument I can't help you.And he would beat mares Gonzalez santa cruz and id bank on him beating lomanchenko.Back then no one wanted to fight rigo cause he brought nothing to the table.No one wants to fight him.
Pure boxing talent. I would love to hear your technical breakdown explaining this.
And don't even try me with that "if you know boxing you would know what I'm talking about" BS either.Pure boxing talent?How do you think he rendered donaires left hook useless?Everytime donaire thought about throwing that hook rigos jab was in his face.How accurate was that punch that closed donires eye in the championship round? you think rigo accomplished this feat with speed and reflexes? Lets see Floyd fight in the pocket and shoulder roll paquiaos punches before you get mad at me for not calling Floyd the best pure boxer of the two.
Hmm, Mayweather has been a professional fighter for almost 20 years, and has never been dropped in the manner Rigo has or never slapped around the ring by even the top level fighters, nevermind the C and D level fighters Rigo has been facing.
This guy is severely overrated. I'm not saying he isn't doesn't have a lot of skills but he's nowhere near the level of Mayweather. He has a lot of holes in his defence.Are you downplaying rigondeauxs schooling of donaire?
ok...and how many p4p fighters has floyd beaten? and wtf does that have to do with anything i said?who was Floyd fighting in his 12th pro fight? was it for a title? Your downplaying rigo a man whos ducked no one trying to hype up that fukn ducker that boy aint ***** and he don't have nothing on rigondeaux when it comes to pure boxing talent plain and simple.
Fucc the article he got exposed. devon straight dominated maidana I think he won every round
Kotelnik schooled Alexander in his own backyard and guess what, Alexander still won so there's that there.Dont get me started on his quitjob against Bradley in his hometown.
See? There will always be an excuse. That's why the rematch shouldn't happen.
Kinda Like Floyd did with Castillo even though he "won" the fight.There will always be an excuse.
He made Rios look like a mix or prime Pacquiao and prime Whitaker in there...Rios actually looked lighting quick and slick
The amount of punishment he's received in a short amount of time should be cause enough to retire for the sake of his family.
So is Pacquaio gonna knock him out cold like he did to Bradley (in both fights), Rios, Marquez, or Algieri?
Nah hes gonna drop him and make him run the remainder of the fight just like mosley.:boxing:
How would Ward be forced? Whens the last time a fighter who didn't need the money, was forced by his promoter to fight?
I don't think Jay Z has one iotta of power over Ward, certainly not legally. Ward has already proven that he is happy to just sit back and wait for a suitable fight.
I think Ward will eventually accept some decent/mediocre fight. Ward is already guaranteed a fee by Roc, so why not just take pennies from HBO for your tuneup? Ward needs to understand like Rigo, simply winning does not make you popular, powerful or give you influence.
Pac has lost plenty of times, but he is still the biggest after Floyd. The boxing public does not care for Ward right now, that is just the truth. We're not going to come running just cuz Ward is back, he will need to make a statement and capture our imagination. A big win against a big opponent is the only way.If ward didn't need the money why would he be trying to get paid millions to fight bums? Why does he still have this illusion that Chavez Jr will fight him?Quite obvious he needs the money now if I offer you a contract for said number of fight and they're all underwhelming in terms of revenue then I'm forced to do something drastic to break even.Pretty sure kovalev doesn't have any fights booked at the moment.Nah though ward wants the big paydays to fight bums in Oakland.
I don't know if he gave him 60 million straight up... but probably on a per fight basis. Might as well... they don't have any other fighters right nowDude signed a contract heard it was worth 60 milli you heard they offered broner around 40 or 50 right? If its true ward might have his back against the wall and make ward fight someone he doesn't want to and outside of his hometown.
He was a light heavy in 3 round boxing fights. He already looks pretty small at 168, why should he move up? Ward has the opportunity to become the greatest 168 lbs fighter ever and he should pursue it.
The greatest ever before or after ducking bute? And don't give me that bs about bute lost to froch and froch lost to ward.
Matthysse is even more confused as to how his eye socket got fractured by a lucky glancing "swipe." Confusion is everywhere in 2015.
Matthysse is even more confused that the bigger fish Danny had to fry was rod fukn salsa.Lol
Ward will never fight Kovalev. Too big, too strong, too skilled. He wants $2 million dollar tune ups as he waits for Floyd/Cotto/GGG.
Hell move down to 160 to fight Floyd doe. Why should he move up doe.He should move down instead.
If there is a scale of 1-10 on if a boxing match will be a great fight because a certain fighter is involved.
Maidana gets at least 7-8/10
Devon on his best day gets 3-4/10
Devon Alexander is a boring, holding, grunting dip****.
Lets not forget about Alexander and his eye against Bradley in that blockbuster fight that took place in st Louis.
Jay z essentially paid 60 mill for a broadcaster. Funny thing is jay z might not give ward a choice and make his ass fly to Europe and face a livebody just to recoup the money spent on ward. I take it jay z hasn't seen a ward fight? LOL
