Good post. If Katsidis did manage to knock Amir out, he might become the most hated dude in all of England. :fing02:
He wouldn't. As I have said before, Amir has a following here but is not popular.
Fair play to him though, he was real accurate against paulie and beat him at his own game.
Katsidis is a good, dangerous match up but I see Amir outspeeding him and beating him to the punch.
On a side note, will Khan fast for Ramadam? If so would that be good for him from a fighting stand point.
And if he isn't why would he not fight during this time??
Prime vs prime there's not much in it, but Cotto has had many more tough fights, taken more heavy shots, so Canelo's heavy hands will take their toll in the later rounds.
Cotto is one of my all time favourite fighters and I think this would be a great match up, style wise, at 150.
You've all been warned. I've told you guys already. Floyd was never going to fight Pac. He wanted that money though. So he signed the a deal with GBP to have a tune up with Marquez. But after that he would fight Mosley in two big fights. Why would he fight Mosley in two big fights you ask. Because he's not planning on winning the first one. He can end up making the money he wanted to if he ends up fighting Mosley again. Thats the plan and thats been the plan. He was never intending on fighting Pacquiao. Instead he kind of ruined his name while making his own fight with Mosley the ceter of attention. They are really trying to sell this fight. You guys need to start using your heads a little instead of getting caught up in the BS. Once you see boxing the way I do you can disect these kinds situations to a tee.
Haha, that's funny. So PBF is gonna throw this fight you think?
Manny has never faced a naturally bigger person as good as Hatton.
Barrera, Morales, and Marquez were all at a weight he was comfortable at. De La Hoya was a shell of his former self. Diaz is not a real world class fighter.
Hatton is just past his prime, but he is probably one of Mannys biggest ever challenges. This will be Mannys first time at 140. Only his first time above lightweight fighting a real quality opponent. Diaz was just a place holder, and De La Hoya had nothing in the tank. He looked shot.
For all intents and purposes, I think Pacquaio will win. But he will know he's been in a fight this time. I would like to see how he handles the power, footwork, and speed of Hatton. Something his last two opponents did not have. I would like to see how he reacts when he is past the 8th round, and he is hit with a trademark Hatton body shot. I would like to se how he reacts the first time he gets hit with one of Hattons hooks. Manny is not a defensive genius. He will take shots.
This will be a very good fight. But those who think Manny will wipe the floor with Ricky, need to realise he isn't Mayweather.
Bang on!
This will be a much closer fight than most on here are anticipating.
If Hatton can stay composed, then I expect a war.
this is hogwash!!
how on earth can big floyd do that??
and be badly criticized for whatever reason he will offer after all the trash talks.
no way, brah.....
Haha, buy whatever you want brah.....
Coincidence???? I think not. http://www.boxingscene.com/?m=show&id=19892
Some of the veiled racism in this thread is disgusting.
Step away from the glue hardboy!
I've just reread this twice and see nothing racist at all.
Go cry to your mummy....if she'll listen to your shyte.
Nob I didn't steal anything I'm hyped because of the mugs running around ruining the country I wish the police would just deal with them! So stop accusing b!tch boy.
Re-read your first post in this thread then ask yourself honestly who is the "b1tchboy nob". Most would say that it's narrow minded haters like you that have ruined this country.
You know what i mean don't you.
They sound like the taliban for shouthing those things at a boxing event. what has "Allahu Akbar" got to do with boxing?
Sounds like they are on a crusade or something...
Bang on!! And Khan will never be popular in England whilst he has all that bullshit around him.
Once separated from the "muslim brotherhood" chants, he may get a few crossover fans.....otherwise he will be always pigeonholed. Wrongly or rightly...like it or not!
Sorry man but i think Ortiz conquered adversity a long time ago just by getting to this level and khan is the one who has to learn to deal with it as he was groomed to be a winner all his life..
Life grooms you to be a winner, it can't be done falsely.
LOL I dont think khan was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
You ever been to Bolton?
I'm not a fan BTW, Barrera should get his rematch IMO. That cut should have stopped the fight straight away......not just into the 5th round.:thinkerg::rofl:
im already extra hyped because of the london riots
How so, did you steal yourself another DVD player and electric shaver for the wife?
It's ****ing douchebags like you that we dont want in this country!!
Beard told a few of my mates that went to see the fight that Mayweather wanted to put the fight back a few weeks.
Hatton was getting battered in sparring and in Mayweathers eyes wasn't ready.
Hatton didn't want to postpone because of all the fans/tickets/flights etc etc.
Make of that what you want. Don't shoot the messenger.
Pac ego trip + greed + new baby girl + not wanting 12 brutal rounds with Hatton = no contract signed.
I keep flicking onto this forum hoping to see the headline " Hatton vs Pacman set in stone for May" but the longer this goes on the less I feel it will be realised.
All this bullshit is damaging boxing, I just hope something can be done to make this fight happen.
He couldn't handle Mosley's speed and variety of shots, so how the hell does he think he can beat Pac, who is both faster and throws more than Mosley?
I hope he does get his wish so Pac can fcuk him up and retire his cheating ass!
dont know why ppl chat crap on hear mayweather gna make pac look average mayweather aint got much power in his punch pac proved against cotto hes solid and punches dont hurt speed level is equal can floyd tAKE punch dont realy nohis world class defense has seen him hit hard few and far between pac will test that the power and speed combined makes pacs punches much more powerful than mayweathers ever received and pac will catch him with that speed of his and roach puttin in a world class game plan i see it slightly favoring pac but first round will tell all
Content ok...puntuation non existant. Must try harder:boxing:
Paragraphs...commas....full stops...less text speak
that's ridiculous... who gives a f-+k about Mayweather in a car?
Note that I consider both Lambos and Mayweather interesting subjects... on a road and in a ring, not together in a f-+kin plaza
Hhahah, that's exactly what I was thinking.
Talk about orchestrated...:bottle:
