Oh calm the fuk down if a guy can box at a pro level and can get licensed by a major boxing commission who cares what the guy looks like.
I just think it's so funny that boxing fans blast fighters for not looking like what they invision as a heavyweight boxer to look like yet could never live up to their own standards themselves.
Make fun of Gabe Brown all you want but hes gone a full 10 rounds in his career. Have you??
You're either really fat or Gabe himself??? which one are you??
In all truth, a boxer shouldn't be in that condition...especially if he wants to succeed...
If it is the more4 documentary...it made me see Frazier as a very bitter dude...He likes the fact Ali is the way he is now and believes he is the reason for it and is proud of that...
I lost a bit of respect for Frazier after that
ok im not brittish but i am european and americans hate both of us just as much as nazis hate jews. european and brittish fighters will NEVER get the respect they deserve from americans, just look at lennox lewis. and even outside boxing. look at the beatles, an american shot john lennon ffs.
Ha ha...My fathers American, I have four American brothers and MANY American friends.
My Mothers English, I live in England, speak with an English accent and besides having a passport thats blue (and also a purple one or whatever the **** colour you'd call a British one) I am English.
No American I know dislikes Europeans on the whole...that is stupid you think that.
Please educate yourself, maybe travel the world a bit, indulge in some other cultures because you are a moron...Actually you're just a troll and we are feeding you...but I'm drunk and am quite enjoying the argument now.
Which cave in Europe are you from troll?
sweden and we aint no cave, infact we swedes are about on average 5 times richer than americans. and i aint a troll either.
Where abouts in Sweden man? I used to go there when my European hating father lived in Germany with all those dirty Europeans who he must have hated.
wow...
i can't believe people have listened and replied to this arargh idiot for ten pages...
He is not the voice of England or Europe by the way...he is a retard and hopefully his carer will turn up soon and restrict his internet access again...
Oh and Calzaghe would have got more recognition if he was American...because he wouldn't have had warren as a promoter and would have fought stronger opposition.
the very north, in the barents area. and what the **** where your father doing in europe? your father and u should go back to yankie land or whatever and out of europe because you aint wanted here. you are an enemy of europe so gtfo of here.
Ha ha an enemy of Europe.
You're pretty funny man...
So, uh, whats wrong with you anyway? little bit of sand in your vagina?
Fukk Pacman!
How dare him try to sell boxing by bringing respect, mutual admiration to his opponent and to all the boxing fans and always makes the fight the fans want to see almost every time minus the trash talk! That's not the way to sell boxing nowadays!
you're completely right mate...
the way to sell boxing is by giving me the number of the girl in your avi
Man Manny Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto are 2 of my favorite fighters,its going to be hard as hell 2 watch them go at it.When ever Pacquiao fights I always side with him and vise versa when itz Cotto I do the same.Its because both of these 2 athletes put there hearts on the line and give (us) fights fans jammed packed action,by fighting fighters no body else wants to and or by giving it there all.On the plus side both guys are gentlemen and verry humble outside of da ring. I havent posted on boxingscene dat much latley ever since this fight was announced,because damn Its hard to see Pacman fans and Cotto fans go at it, but hey datz the nature of da game
You'll notice certain people go at it with each other...certain people will try and give scientific detail into how the fight will be won...others will make up excuses for a fighter...and then others will just look forward to an amazing fight.
I can't wait to see those weight drained peurto rican fans watch there fighter get demolished by the speed and skill of mannys straight left right hook combo...
In reality though, I haven't looked forward this much to a fight in ages!
I'm drunk and I've run out of booze
regardless of what many cotto fans here think, most pacfans have cotto as one of their fave fighters. it's just the animosity around an exciting fight like this that creates this friction.
I love them both so much...I wish they'd just mudwrestle
Who cares! Is his personal life. You Ricans need to stop putting your noses in other peoples lives.
Whoa man...If I saw my favourite boxer in a bar, the one place I would have thought to be acceptable and good to tell people is a BOXING FORUM.
Cool man, did you speak to him at all?
Apart from the bit about race...good interview.
What he said about that undermines himself as a character...it's not because of his skin colour that he's not popular...it's his attitude and charisma that lets him down.
As somebody else stated...look at Tiger Woods, Jordan, Ali, Eubank, Lewis and even Tyson who was by all accounts a nasty bastard.
Shit, name me a white boxer today who is more famous then he should be? except Hatton... :p
Thats what happens when you believe your own hype.
"I could never have imagined the way that fight turned out to be"
My step-dad who hasn't watched boxing since the Benn-Eubank mega fight predicted a third round knockout...
Shit.
thank you pacman for this you are man of class and i respect you. i was one of those cotto fans that gave you a standing ovation when you walked in msg. i support your ppv's cuz along with cotto you are the most exciting warrior in the sport of boxing. pac and cotto are the 2 most liked and respected boxers in the game and they give the fans their money's worth. november 14th will be a great day for all boxing fans no matter who wins, may the best man win!!!!!
p.s. fukk the nuthuggers spoiling this great fight with their idiotic comment everyday on here.
Green Karma My man...
I like to see a real boxing fan on here...it's rare nowadays.
It would have to be Marquez man.
The fights afterwards would be more interesting though...
Cotto-Mayweather at 147
Pacmaneth-the juan and only at 140...(or less I guess)
let's hope it happens
Yeah i gave him my vote.
Because you live in a time delayed delorian...
you really think lb 4 lb Hopkins beats Mayweather??????
Nah........
You really think lb 4 lb Hopkins beats pacmania???????
nah........
You really think lb 4 lb Hopkins beats Juan??????
Nah.......
You really think lb 4 lb Hopkins beats Cotto?????
Nah.........
its called hype son. who had he beaten to "earn" such credentials?
i mean seriously, just cuz the american hype machine was running full blast doesnt mean i shoudl act liek joe slayed a monster when in reality he beat a slow, one dimensional, average fighter.
i never praise a fighter as the next anything until he proved himself. lacy never did so i aint forgot shit.
me?
i picked calzaghe. like i said, u have to beat somebody to be somebody. even though he was past his best eubank was still game. lacy found all his oponents in the canned goods department at the supermarket. if u pick someone like that u are just guessing. he might be someone, but theres no way to tell. joe we knew was atleast a worthy titlist.
If thats true then fair enough...I'm not going to be delusional and say that Calzaghes resume is better than Hopkins' cos it's not...you can pick at things all day to make the fights sound unfair and make his resume look better than his etc...
I don't know why people still do it...
Why can't people just like both boxers instead of just wanting to hold one boxers penis...?
i never said joe is a bum. he is a great fighter. i mean even though i thought BHop won, joe gave him one hell of a fight. how could i say hokins is a legend and joe a bum? but i think Hopkins is a step above him as far as legacy goes. i still very much respect jhoes accomplishments. becoming undisputed champ aint easy.
and it is true, i can admit when im wrong. i had cintron to knock out margarito in 5 in their rematch ffs. instead tony ripped cintrons balls of and clubbed him half to death with em.
ha ha...that he did.
Oh and I never said you said Joe was a bum...my comments weren't aimed at you either, just boxing fans who really are people fans...
I just wanted to know what you thought before the lacy fight
