Off hand, I know he's not a slugger, relies more on speed and varying it up.
Most fighters fight around 100 amatuer fights before turning pro and winning the golden gloved also.
That's a lot of fights but off-hand I know Ali won at least 100 amatuer fights sooo I should have seen that coming.
Are golden gloves the only accomplishment needed though?
GOOD RIDDANCE!
Juan Manuel Marquez got EXACTLY what he deserved last night, he and his crooked manager Nacho Cheeze Berinstien Bear turned down multiple big fights, and multiple six-figure paydays, so they could fight for $35K and lose to a complete nobody with 2 first names, and now Marquez will never be mentioned along with the world class featherweights of his era
I'm glad those 2 phonies are gone
LMAO :rofl:
Oh well.
he never should have been there for the second fight. those arent taylors belts and everyone knows it. and yes if hop beats tarver and becomes lhw champ at the age he is he definately deserves to be top five.
I agree with your first point but I'm not sure about top five. It WOULD be an accomplishment at his age. However, he still has to beat Tarver. That won't be easy, this fight is actually safe for Tarver IMO.
Floyd can sell a fight and that is an essential component of what a fighter that wants to stay in the PPV market.
I was just thinking this, he sells himself. It's automatic money.
Now we all can see that a ordinary bum Lacy are,when he meet top-boxer he are just shit,no Lacy just stay in US and fight you handpicked opponent.Lacy are so easy to hit i even don`t think Kessler will fight Lacy,it will be so easy,much more easy than Lucas
Me fail English? That umpossible!

From amature to the pros, is all about how you are match up at the begining of your pro career at least thats one point, theres just so many other things to consider as some have already made valid points.
Theres just other transitions to take into account but every fighter is different so what may have been an easy transition to one, may not be an easy transition to the other.
One as mentioned is match making. The other how is your chin going to hold up, your confidence, your defence, your conditioning, etc.
Of course as the nike commercial says, just do it. If you want to go pro go ahead, just know of the risk. I think every amature to pro experiance may differ from boxer to boxer.
As to when to turn pro? A lot of factors can be brough up too. But if you want to make the transistion and you are in good condition and have some experiance, go ahead and find out for yourself the pro experiance. If you are cofident it shouldn't be that difficult of a transition, of course having some skill will help out too.
That's what I'm thinking, that there's a million different ways to go about it. Picking the right fights at the right time, etc etc thanks for the replies
TECHNICALY you can actualy get it by even fingering a girl say she has the virus you finger her and you have an open wound on your finger it can get passed like that. Learnt that last year
this man speaks the truth
I remember it was Gatti's corner that stopped the fight not gatti himself, he even asked buddy if he could go 1 more round. I say PBF-Gatti was worse b/c it was stopped.
I read this response after I posted, I completely agree.
For that same reason i would say it was Gatti vs Mayweather. Mayweather beat Gatti so bad he bitched out after 6 whereas Lacy took his 12 round beating like a man.
Did you really see the Gatti fight? Gatti might have been stupid for it but he wanted to fight, afterall he was reigning champ..his corner told him his eye closed and stopped it. I'm not Gatti's biggest fan but he's not a bitch that's for sure :cool:
Lacy did take a beating which was impressive he didn't collapse under himself
