^^^^ REALLY SUB PAR BOXER HERE
IDIOT
Haha youre such a moron.
Common denominator: Darnell Boone. He dropped Ward and left Adonis KTFO.
Seriously. Adonis wont land a punch on Ward.
Too bad Ward is afraid to fight Brian Magee. Brian Magee would KTFO Ward.
Because he was trying to be an American star, and has overwhelming confidence in himself. He didn't think it mattered where he fought Peterson, he was going to knock him out.
Unfortunately, that confidence is also a part of his downfall.
The terms Amir Khan and American star should never be used in the same sentence.
Gronkowski's and Willis' bodies even at 12 years were bound to develop in a way that gives them great explosiveness but poor stamina which is perfect for football but terrible for Combat sports.
Also the heavyweights you think have slow reflexes would look like Pacquiao in the ring with your pro bowl TE or DE. Reflexes just don't need to be developed in football compared to most other sports especially boxing/combat sports.
Gronkowski and Willis are linebackers, not defensive ends. Julius Peppers vs. Jake Long.
Ok so he couldn't beat two of the best fighters in the world. He's far from a sub-class boxer.
The man lives of his one upset. Over a 36 year old Tszyu who announced his retirement in the ring that night.
He had two more legitimate opponents the rest of his career. He ended both of those fights on his back. I hate Pacquaio and I legitimately thought he killed Ricky in that fight. I actually thought I was witnessing death in the ring. Thank god that wasn't the case.
Ricky Hatton is an overweight, alcoholic glutton who has one of the most unwatchable styles in boxing of the past half century. He has fans because Brits love boxing (which is good) and Brits have no boxers to be proud of (which is bad).
Over the past week or two people have been talking about Ricky like he walked away from the sport at the top of his game and now he is coming to regain his throne. Ricky gave his all to the sport, true, but Ricky left with nothing. Which is what he remains today, which is how he will be viewed in boxing's analogues. Tough shit.
"The fact is the heavyweight championship of the world is still contested on network television here in America, but it's on the blindside of the quarterback. It's when the best defensive end is trying to get around the best left tackle. That's the heavyweight championship of the world. That's Frazier and Foreman. They just all play in the NFL now."
-Max Kellerman
Thats because hes been forced to fight at 160 because people like Floyd Mayweather wont fight him at 154.
Ohhh, so that's why he fought a junior middleweight titleholder, Dzinziruk, at 160. Because ...oh wait...
1) 1.40 - 1.3 = 100K
1.45 - 1.3 = 150K
So how did you get "at least" 200K? Oh wait you just decided to create a thread "exposing" Arum's exaggeration while also exaggerating your numbers.
2) It's been 1 year, let it go already
Oh, it means very little, I agree with you. At the end of the day, maybe 5% care because what happens in the ring is all that actually matters, 2M PPV buys or 2,000. I'm just making a point directly about the numbers put out there. 1.45M came to be the accepted figure. Which at that time would have been more than any Mayweather PPV. Arum saying almost 1.3M puts the actual buys around 1.25M for me. 200K off.
I'll move on, but it's the constant misdirection by Arum that is so perplexing. The man lies so much he can't even keep his lies together.
lets see if ward or moneymay are willing to meet sergio martinez
martinez vs money at 154
martinez vs ward at 164
Martinez's team has already said they will not go up to 168 or fight Ward at a catchweight. They said they will only entertain the thought of fighting him at 160.
Ward has already stated (on 24/7 Ward-Dawson) that while he could make 160 pounds on the scales, he knows he wouldn't be effective at that weight.
Conclusion, Martinez-Ward will never happen.
so lets hope mayweather vs martinez
hey for the right money they might be able to reach some ward vs martinez
im jus tryna be positive here, its about getting the fights done!!!!!!!1
Martinez-Mayweather would be interesting. At whatever weight, if Martinez is healthy and hydrated, I don't see how Floyd would win the fight. But it would be a legacy fight for Floyd.
No they wont.
They dont like him because he reminds them of Floyd. Mind you he has been willing to fight everyone. Kind of like how Floyd was early in his career. It will be interesting to see how Broner is talked about 2-3 years from now when hes the man in the sport.
Broner makes Floyd look like Einstein.
Pacquiao is in the same class as well, right?
Posted from Boxingscene.com App for Android
Yes he is.
The bigger question is, will we have anyone in the future even touch that class?
Bait thread. No you can't do that in this era. Just like an American couldn't box in Iran and praise the Lord, Jesus Christ. Or praise atheism.
Two sides to every coin.
He'll be in the class of Leonard, Hagler, Duran, and Hearns. An ATG.
If he goes down undefeated between 45-0 and 50-0, there will be a vocal minority that proclaim him as the greatest of all time.
If he beats Serg at MW, he can retire as the baddest mother trucker that ever fcked with this game.
