Maybe after this, winner will fight Cotto in December
i going with Gatti by TKO.
just thinking about Gatti vs Cotto made me wet my pants :D
what a way to go out... Gatti wins the world reconized welter title and fight one more mega fight with Cotto and end his career.
Vargas was exposed by Tito and his career, for all intents and purposes, was ended that night.
Prior to Tito Vargas shoed some real potential, but he took a brutal beating in that fight and it scarred him both physically and mentally. It's a shame, too, because the potential was there to beat Tito. He just fought the wrong fight that night and forever changed the course of his boxing career.
i totally agree... he fought Tito when he was 22~23 years old. what kind of management team would put a 22 year old kid with a elite fighter like Tito?
he won 1 great fight with DLH, thats about it... that was a bad match up for Oscar. good fighter, yes but all time great? i dont think so... its a shame to put "Sugar" in front of his name...
once he was a great champ, got alot of respect from hardcore boxing fans, but after the 2nd and 3rd weight-in and the thing he did(try to cheat), alot of fans and i lost all respect. i don't give a f*ck who he fights next.
Tony needs to get his ass on a treadmill or Peter is goin to drop him.
Toney need to drop about 30lbs. he looked freaken good on Holyfield fight. he need to get back down to 220ish.
I would say yes. Tiger too beat the liner champion as did hopkins.
I don't know why no boxing media didn't point to this accomplishment by Dick Tiger, Tiger beat a beater fighter in Jose Torres.
BECAUSE HIS NAME IS DICK TIGER.

end of the road casamayor will still beat corrales, casa got robbed on the 2nd fight with chico. 3rd fight should have been fought 2 years ago, PUSSY CORRALES ducked casa for 2 years and he is willing to fight him after casa hits end of his career. question, those ppl whos voting for chico on this poll, didn't you guys see the first 2 fights? Casa was the better man on both fight.
i have $5k on CASA!
If they fight i don't want to see Mayweather Sr. train him, in my mind their will not be a 100 percent effort by Mayweather Sr. training Delahoya for this fight.
Mayweather doesn't deserve the 20 mil, had he fought Margarito their'd be no doubt who the best welterweight is. Delahoya defeating Mayweather would make it unfished busniss at welterweight, cause Delahoya can't say he beat the best welterweight in Mayweather untill Mayweather fights Margarito.
Why does alot ppl say that you have to beat Margarito to be the #1 welterweight? Margarito is no body, he is a B class fighter who just met a great promoter... who has he fought and beat to be consider so highly? Look at his resume, there is no elite fighter in his resume... Most feared man in boxing my yellow ass!
Juddah was the man @ welter... Baldy beat Juddah, and when PBF beats Baldy, he will be the MAN in the division PERIOD!
Malignaggi got alot of respect from boxing fans after the fight... i thought he was just a trash talker with no skills but he showed alot of skills & heart. I thought Malignaggi won the fight, but the judges saw the other way... when he comes back, he shouldn't have any problem dominating 140lbs division.
K-1 is a pussy sports, MAA (pride & UFC) is little bit better than K-1. Top mens at those sports won't last 4 rounds in boxing with elite fighters. imagine Tim Sylvia vs Wlad... Wlad would kill him in a boxing match.
DLH got robbed... i bet $2k(for DLH) w/ my friends that night and they didn't wanted my money... they thought that DLH was robbed also. it was like watching DLH vs Tito again.
Read my post carefully.... I SAID YOUNG DLH! Look at he's record as superfeather, light and super lightweight... he didn't fight the best out there. Don't get me wrong, he did fight the elite fighters when he moved up to welterweight. Im a huge DLH fan, but I think he was little protected when he was at those smaller weight classes.
He should train someone to make him very good.
agree... he should get back in the ring to training boxers. i think he should make more money trainging than being on TV.
And in his first defense, he fights Gary Lockett....Taylor fought Wright!!!
Wright > Lockett....none of u can defend Lockett
Taylor only fought Wright cause Wright was WBC mandatory. If Taylor didn't fought Wright, WBC would have striped Taylor of his WBC title. Lockett was WBO mandatory for Kelly. Kelly fought Lockett cause he wants to keep all this belts...
BTW: I scored for Hopkins on both fights, Wright won the fight clearly, and even Spinks fucken outboxed Taylor. Those are 4 questionable decisions...
Robin Reid is a ***~
this was like 7 years ago when I was 18... after school, i was hanging out with my friend. we were at his house juss chilling and we desided to go outside and have a smoke... we were walking around the neiborhood (smoking) and out of no where, about 8 guys was rushing toward us... my friend yelled out " RUN !!! "and he started to run. i was in a total shock so i juss stayed put. (a weekend before, my friend fucked this one guy's girl friend and his older sister on the same weekend. I guess he found out that this happened and brought his friends to kick my friend's ass) 5 to 6 guys were chasing my friend and 2 guys attacked me. first guy tried to kick me on my leg, so i grabbed his leg and gave him a short right to the chin... he was out cold. while i was hitting the first guy, the second guy attacked me from the back, he landed a good shot to back of my neck and i was kinda wobbled... i tooked couple of steps to the side and the guy were throwing bombs and me ... none of them really landed cause i had my hands up. after missing about 5~6 punches, i kneed him on his stomach and I landed a really hard left hook to his right side of his temple (broke my middle knuckle and pinky finger with that punch). the guy went down and called for help... other 6 guys rushed over and they gave me a beating of my life. after the beating, i was rushed to the nearest hospital. i had 2 fractured ribs, fractured left arm, 22 stitches to my face, broken knuckle and pinky finger. my friend got away from the other guys without any injury. I was pretty fucked up for 2 month with alot of medical bills ^^;
