Great Post! All these people on hear saying he has no shot are just Khan haters that don't wanna see him succeed. He technically has one loss to Garcia because we all know Peterson was a CHEATER on PED's in that controversial decision.
Khan is still young enough and has the skills to mature and still have a great career. We don't know whats gonna happen but to totally ride him off is just HATERS being HATERS!!
Thanks man I forget we have a ton of teenagers on this board who boxing history only goes back to the year 2000 and they don't understand every great fighter in history took a L here and there. Fighters that take risk will eventually lose. Khan (who I don't care for as a fighter but I respect his competative nature) went to DC in Peterson backyard to basically get a lost that we later find out was jaded. He aslo tried to fight Bradley but he was chasing Pacquiao. Now all of a sudden he's ducking the messgae board boogyman Lucas Mytthyyse? like u said this is deeper then just boxing some people are just miserable...Happy Holidays homie!
Yeah losing to Leonard and Hagler is comparable to losing to Prescott and Garcia...

You know you a clown when you need special effects to get your point accross... No but a certified G by the name of Marco Antonio Barrera lost to a journeyman fighter by the name of Junior Jones not once but TWICE! I can keep going with many more... You seem a little on the "I sat in the same class all day during highschool" side of things so let me exlpain: Great fighters have lost fights early in their careers and went on to have great careers. Wll that be Khan? who knows since his career is not over yet. Nobody is comparing anything only idiot who did that was you.
I made a statement about something factual and yet to be proven. Hey where can I download some cute graphics from? Stick to that cuz boxing clearly aint u.
He still believes he's a great doesn't he....
"Its all about finishing off this light welterweight division..."
I think so far the division has finished him off hasn't it?
According to your logic Tommy Hearns who was knocked out in all three of his major fights should of retired as well before he went on to become a HOF fighter? You microwave oven boxing fans kill me, a dude has a few losses and you ready to write his career off? When you fight other good fighters you take the risk of losing "hello hello" (in my Herm Edwards voice)
What are you talking about? I didnt say he should retire and I don't hate him. I am just point out a comment like "I'm going to finish off the division" reeks of arrogance. He hasn't exactly been smashing through the division recently has he, what exactly is he "finishing off"? The division has done more damage to him than he has to it.
And WTF is a microwave boxing fan?
It means fans like yourself thinks every thing happens in 5 minutes. He's how old again? You do realize tons of great fighters had losses early on right? If not I got a great DVD that offer great insight on the history of boxing...stocking stuffer for you maybe?
And to my knowledge he technically has only 1 lost at 40 since we later found out about PEDerson but that's neither here or there, the bottom line is there's still ton to do at the divsion and if he feels confident he can "run through" the division then GOD BLESS him. How does being conifdent reek of arrogance? I guess you set your goals to the heights of a car celing then...smh
You compared Khan losing to Prescott and Garcia with Hearns losing to Leonard and Hagler. If you had used a different fighter I wouldn't have reacted the same way, obviously. Of course there are fighters who lost to journeymen and went on to become great but Tommy freaking Hearns is NOT one of them. See I had to put you on the spot and expose your stupidity for you to go back to the drawing board and come up with a better comparison. You should thank me, I'm forcing you to raise your game. Just remember, great posters have been schooled like that early in their careers and went on to have great careers. Will that be you? Who knows...
I see my point flew over your head like a G6 so this conversation is nullen void. Great Poster? Nah you can have the "tallest midget in the circus" claim and as a FYI don't use the word "freaking" makes u sound like a 12 year old little girl. What's next you downloading One Direction screensavers?
How about you fight Lucas Matthysse in your next fight Khan,get yourself violently knocked out and then retire...do yourself a favor
will yall stop overrating this Matthysse dude geeesh now all of a sudden he's become a chatroom legend stop it!
Somebody get this boy against Floyd! That Pac in there tonight would give Floyd big problems. Credit to Rios, amazing chin and heart!
Rios was made to order. Everbody knows the Straight fwd fighters make Pac look like Ray .Leonard. Let's see how he looks against Marquez again who's not some 1 dimensional stalker. Then let's talk Floyd.
exactly! At least when they were pipping Fernando Vargas he was fighting killas. Canelo been aided by careful matchmaking and gift decisions. And now this new division he created to beat up small guys. Of course he'll beat Khan. He's fighting a guy who's barely a ww with a suspect chin.
But your not Khan
Broner/Maidana did 1.3 million viewers you didn't
Get your name up young boy
Same Maidana Khan beat? Same Broner that always do well with his fights with numbers? Seem like u need to step ur facts game up. Oh that's right facts don't apply to d-eaters !
Khan has Danny Garcia problems. ;)
That should be a PBC headliner.
yall dudes repeat the same ish like parrots. Did Maidaina solve his Alexander and Khan problems?
Danny looks more drawn down in weight than Canelo does .
I said the same thing! I think ppl are over exaggerating about Canelo jumping on the "weight drained" bandwagon. The guy who look sick was Danny. I think regardless this may be his last at fight at 40. I hope the rumors of him partying hanging out in studios with Meek Millz aint true
Very True!
This is just why the NBA is second to the NFL they're not some outta touch fogies. Baseball is just like the Republican party still think the world is filled with one race one genre of people that's why they had their asses kicked as of recent. Baseball is a good ole boy club until that changes they'll be the outta touch business owner refusing to do business over social media saying "that's for kids" while their business goes down the toilet!
Youre a F*&#ing idiot... Go up20 lbs to fight Bernard... You must no know S H I IT about boxing...
Assuming Nard was still at m/w tell that to Ray Leonard ,TitoTrinidad, Ray Robinson etc because they all did it. I personally think Floyd is too small to ever do that but before u make blanket statement know the facts about the sport.
First hiphop now boxing?
So unless ur under TR or GB ur SOL!!!!! Boxing is now Target and Walmart two major companies monopolozing the business. I feel sorry for boxing fans who only got to witness the 80's and 90's and even the early 2000's on Youtube or DVD's. Because today's boxing is a bunch of careful matchmaking and in-house fighting. Thank God I was able to witness boxing when it was at its APEX !!!!
He's cleaned up. Turned his life around, opened up a community center in Houston and does a lot of charity work.
I still wouldn't want to be on his bad side though.
Why? Do you know him? Or you either some Uncle Tom or some outta touch white dude?
This is getting ridiculous.
Lol my exact though as well. This is now the NBA all star voting? I love Floyd and hope he call it career after this. I wanna remember him for his greatness not this circus tour
This is the first time I commented on anything Broner after the fight. Don't put me in a bracket without even doing your research. Yes, bad sportman cause after every fight you should show respect to your opponent and he didn't do that, he disrespected Paulie even after Paulie went up to him and congratulated directly after the fight. Paulie's a bigger man than I am cause I would've been upset after being fouled all night. That's the only excuse you can come up with cause if you can't use the race card then you're fu(ked you got nothing else to defend that piece of ***** with. He can still sell a fight without being disrespectful to his opponent, look at Mayweather. He never said anything bad on the post fight interview.
Naw homie keep your homo fantasies to yourself. Broner is marketing himself for sensitive broads like yourself. Typical white boy wanting things done according to ur script. Shouts to Lebron and every other black athlete doing things their own way! Gold teeth chain wearing ni##a trash talking to a whiteboy ur worse nightmare lol
Canelo is younger. Stronger. Faster and in his prime. Cotto touched Mayweather. But gave the fight away IMO early. Canelo is better than Cotto...bottom line.

Lol u must of dug deep for them pics dawg. Bscene is like a Floyd concentration camp
I guess all the Mexican fans going say he ran all night lol Heard this same rhetoric after the Guerrero fight. One thing I respect about Oscar was he tried to box other slick fighters not just square up and load up for one punch. Nacho had no game plan but to land s homerun punch meanwhile they got schooled! This wasn't Juan Diaz who hae no boxing IQ
stop crying
I hope Sergio realizes he is 100% the boss now. Not Chavez Jr. Not Bob Arum. If he truly wants to take the immediate rematch, and not look for a huge mega-fight with Floyd, then he needs to lay down the law with what he expects. He should make any demands he sees fit, and I hope he does not fight until he feels good and damn ready seeing that he fractured his hand and hurt his knee. Maravilla is just such a nice guy, I do not want to see him taken advantage of. He can make big money with a couple of other fights anyway if he wants to. The world does not revolve around Julio Chavez Jr. Hell, I'd stipulate something in the contract forbidding Jr. from exceeding a certain weight on fight night too. WARGENTINA.
Oh yeah, Martinez dominates in the rematch as well.
I love guys like you concerned about pro athletes contracts. Dude you ever here the phrase "what he eat don't make you sh#t". Martinez will finally get what he always wanted and that's a big time fight unfort it's with a lesser opp but u think he cares? Next time u struggle to pay a bill or is up for a raise remember Sergio will be enjoying his millions in his beachside home.
Put the joystick down and listen up!
This is an EXCELLENT post.
Please tell us Trinidad's record above 160. Hell, tell us who Tito beat at 160 and above.
Please also list the ATG's that Leonard fought at LHW...and what that fight weight was.
Dude you sound like a dumb blond on the register at Old Navy. It aint about who they beat it's the fact they made an attempt to be great! Trinidad lost to Roy Jones and Nard ur point again? Ray Leonard started at 40 took on the baddest m/w of the modern day generation. Again your point? Listen I know u new wave fans knock fighters for taking L's but once upon a time ago all GREAT fighters took a L! Why? They took on the best and not make excuses!
I can't believe ppl actually falling for the oldest trick in boxing. Kathy been around long enough to know exactly what Ward is doing. He's posturing for his position. Rematch will be in LA or Vegas and contact wise Ward gets the higher percentage of the purse or there's no fight. Is it fair? No!"neither are catch weights but it is apart of the business. Ward won ( no matter what fans say) on record it's a win. It's Kovalev ppl that will have beg Ward for a rematch. Well played Ward
Floyd is also a specialist at pushing down on the head and neck, but then lets up just before the ref can say anything - and follows up immediately with the uppercut/hook. Floyd is also expert at clinching when he's in a bad spot. And, he knows how to tie an opponent up where he can't get out of his grip, none of this sissy hugging crap. Stop action, reset. They don't call him a Pro for nothin. :lol1:
I hope Canelo really knows what he's in for. It ain't just elbows and forearms. I don't think studying the tapes is gonna help him with all that other stuff. He's always got a punchers chance though. :fing02:
Yup same thing Nard and Ward does that's why they're hard to hit and get consecutive punches off on them. Floyd don't get enough credit for his grittiness. Boxing is not just about throwing 1 2s faints and hooks. You gotta have some tricks as well like spinning and turning fighters, punching off the break on the blindside of the ref etc. Anselmo Mereno is as skilful as they come but he lacks that stuff that don't show up on compubox
