TBA Margarito coming off a loss Mosley
My bad. I forgot DLH faught Forbes after his loss to Mayweather.
Hm... Funny. Everyone talks about how Floyd cherry picks his opponents but has anyone counted the number of fighters Pac has faced coming off a loss? If he decides to fight Margarito, 7 of 12 bouts will involve a fighter coming off a loss.
Urango performed poorly against a boxer, and so did Hatton when he faced Collazo. I don't expect to see very much boxing but rather a slugfest. Urango packs a harder punch. Urango by KO 9.
This will be one very exciting fight. Anyone who thinks this will be an easy win for Hatton is going to be very dissapointed. Urango is a southpaw with KO power. And yes, he did get out boxed by Rabah. So what. Everyone has problems with slick boxers. Hatton had trouble with Collazo, and was almost seriously hurt buy someone not known to have KO power. Urango late round KO.
Charlie31,
You are hilarious! Gatti, N'dou, and Brussles are way better boxers than anyone your boyfriend Antgotskills Margarito has ever faced. It's amazing how much Bob Arum has brain washed you into thinking Margarito is best WW. He has only remained in the top WW is because he's been fighting bums over and over again. He has several legitimate WWs calling him out and who does he pick? Joshua Clottey? WTF! Before you go on criticizing PBF, you better criticize AM for his choice of opposition. At least PBF has the balls to fight real champions/former champs/ and contenders and different weight classes. The last time I checked, your man lost to a Daniel Santos! A "C" fighter at best.
PBF is in a class of his own. Whitaker, Ali, SRR, Toney, SRL all have multiple losts. PBF has no losts and rarely gets hit. His competition has been pretty tough. He has beaten 4 future hall of famers.

Who are they?

There is always going to be a never ending list of fighters Mayweather should fight before he retires. IMO, he's already defeated everyone he needs to. ODH and Mosley are past thier prime, and would not do very much for his career. He already beat Baldomire, and does not need to fight more contenders. He would humiliate Cotto and Hatton (anyone who doesn't think so is a fool). It was a real treat to watch a living legend at work.
It was a split decision which should have been a UD instead. The other judge must have been smoking. Escobedo looked slugglish and stiff. He didn't have much foot work and didn't box very well. This kid is way over rated. Not much of a prospect IMO.
I see the fight being a TKO for PBF. Lead left hooks and overhand right counters. Margarito's punches are too predictable for floyed. The moment margartio even thinks about punching, floyed will put some hurt on him. I don't see how margarito can win. His punches are too wide, and he is just too slow.
To say DHL would beat PBF is absurd. So what if he beat haymaker Mayorga. The dude is garbage. PBF is too technical for DHL. Defense goes to PBF. Anyone remember DHL trying to be defensive against Sturm? LOL! Sturm picked DHL apart. PBF has far superior foot speed. The only reason why he didn't look fast against Judah was because he was puting foward pressure. PBF is a very smart fighter and adjusts accodoringly to each fight. DHL has more of a one-pnch KO power but speed=power! PBF's punches are crispier and lightening fast. Conditioning goes to PBF. DHL hasn't been able to fight 12 rounds since forever. How can anyone say that today's DHL would even stand a chance against PBF. I have PBF 9-3 or even TKO after the 9th due to DHL's poor conditioning. This fight would have been a good fight 4-5 years ago if PBF was bigger.
castillo weight issue was a non point cause corrales weighed more the day of the fight so wtf
corrales has some messed up ethics
says this bs about castillo cheating and that being so wrong
which one went to jail for wife beating?
he better be glad the bitch didnt lay him the fuck out cause with his chin she probably could have
You must not know what it is like to drop weight. To lose 3 lbs when you at less then 5% body fat is real difficult. 3 lbs is very hard when these guys have been dieting for months, and especially when they are dried out already.
Of course Pac wants Mosley to win. He knows that if Mosley wins, he'll receive the lion's share if they were to meet in the future. If Mayweather wins, he'll only receive 40% (at best).
Mosley wasn't able to beat Cotto in a boxing match. What makes you guys think he'll be able to beat Mayweather?
It's a win-win situation for everyone at Top Rank. Pac gets another title, Arum gets a large percentage from Pac and Cotto, Steward and Roach get a payday, and Cotto gets killed in the ring. I guess this will be Cotto's farewell fight.
Welter weight tournament:
Side A
Spence (Hayman) vs Horn (Arum)
Pacquiao (Arum) vs Garcia (Hayman)
Side B
Crawford (Arum) vs Porter (Hayman)
Thurman (Hayman) vs. Vargas (Arum)
This is Hayman getting back at Arum for 09-12 when TR gave us a round robin that included Margarito, Mosley, Clottey, Rios, Pacquiao, Bradley, and Cotto. At this current time, there is no need for PBC to share the stage with TR in the WW division. They are loaded. Get over it. TR did the same thing in the past. So until Bud signs with PBC or becomes a star, don't expect Spence-Crawford anytime soon.
In regards to Fury and Wilder, the HW division is weak and they have no other choice. They need each other to stay relevant.
