You started a brawl with your first post. Good debut. Keep posting.
As you said: "Right now I hate being Puertorican..."
Tomorrow you will be a proud one, I guess.
People seem to be following what the translator said.
He never said "Pacquiao is the best p4p but does not want to fight me"
He said
Pacquiao dice que es el numero uno p4p pero no me quiere pelear..
Pacquiao CLAIMS to be the p4p but will not fight me.
Lets clear that up.
For a moment I was surprised by JMM's humble and unusual statement. Now, this seems more accurate.
In all, we are lucky to have both these greats around.
Seems there is no doubt about it - Juan Manuel Marquez impressed this forum the most and follows in the footsteps of January fighter Shane Mosley.
Martin Rogan has been mentioned a couple of times, obviously he should have been in the poll too.
:boxing:
The Ring, inventor of ratings late 1920’s.
True, The Ring itself cannot require mandatory defenses – unless you don’t count the combined powers of journalism to bring out a fight (that’s how it has worked for centuries.)
It is also true, that the champions who became respected or greats never ducked a challenger. Public demand fights mean a lot more than ABC mandatories – the last-mentioned most often based less on results and more on who is willing to pay the criminal sanction fees.
"Champbox" and "shadowboxer", you don't get the point. You just accept the scoundrelly standards of today's boxing 'cause you don't know the history of the sport. Too young, I guess.
(And you won't pass your exam if you spell fukk with two k's. Grind!)
PS. I don't disagree with you. But don't wait for the existing organizations to clear things up. They are responsible for this sport being a mess. It would do a lot better without them.
Some fighters can disguise a hurtful KD very well.
Well, that's true.
I also started to wonder, are the alphabet organizations following the exactly same general outlines for scoring a round. We are aware of WBC:s nutty head collision point deductions. Are there more differences between them?
American Football - the greatest sport ever designed.
I've been in it for so long now now, that I've find out you can live a lifetime, and yet, you'll never get fully learned in this complex game.
And due to its hardiness, it has to be played fair.
Not like soccer, when cheating has become a major factor in being successful.
The moral in soccer is, nowadays, absolutely despicable.
Simple!
ONE title, ONE champion!
Screw the WBAssholes, the WBConeheads, the IBFarts, the WBOutcasts, and every alphabetic shitheads out there, and join
THE RING MAGAZINE
:rofl::rofl::rofl: I was wonderin if this was a thread started by Wlad supporters or Rahman supporters. I thought about this shit too homey.
How about Povetkin supporters :D
you posting all the scorecards of all this people don't mean shit.
all you proved was that fight was 1 round away from being a win for the other guy or a draw.
make sure marquez doesn't lose his next fight , i want to see a 3rd fight at 140. pretty sure he won't anyway. marquez hardly ever fights top level competition......
Actually, you misread me. I'll have nothing against Pac becoming Fighter of the Year.
But, I find this subject interesting.
Good morning, Mexicans!
Tiny margins (especially this year) will select the FotY.
If JMM had got the verdict over Pac Man, then beating Casamayor ... I wonder?
Well, you'll also have Margo to cheer on.
But Manny is the obvious choice, isn't he?
In case you never saw the first rd.
I think Hopkins can pull off the upset tomorrow nite. At least they both dislike eachother and should have some mustard on their shots!
I believe the Holt vs. Torres will be the Round of the Year. At least, it is a very strong candidate.
By the way, if I'd got kayoed the way Torres was, I probably would have quit boxing. You need your brain to work also when gettin' older.
I think the 140 pound division is turning into a very solid weightclass.QUOTE]
So true.
The excitement this division will bring in 2009 starts off on Feb. 7th, as Kotelnik clashes with Marcos Maidana. "El Chino" has done well so far, mauling down his opposition for a 25-0 (24) record. It's an aggression vs. technique encounter with Maidana possessing the power and Kotelnik the sturdy chin.
A good teaser of what will come.
Nah, I believe Adamek will stay among the heavies, so make that 'five world champs'. Or probably 'four' as Pacman is likely to aim for the welterweight division.
