being a southpaw is an advantage for a very obvious reason, most people are right handed so the few south paws out there train against orthadox boxers but most orthadox boxers dont train against southpaw, plus the southpaw when learning has more to think about, when i first webt training it was a nightmare when going through routines i had to reverse the whole thing, very confusing but makes you think that bit more, when a south paw hits and moves to the right of an orthadox boxer its very hard for that right hander to cope with but very natural for the lefty because thats what they do in the gym and its likely there the only one in the gym doing it.

At first glance, I figured a match between he and Mikkel Kessler was compelling......but not after I saw what he did to pemberton tonight.
I realize Pemberton might not be in the same leauge as Kessler.....but simply being a tall rangy super middleweight will not cut it against Lacy.
If they fought, I think it would be one sided.
I initially said Lacy would pound out a decision win over Kessler....but now I think he will simply knock him out in the early rounds.
Along with Calzaghe.
Joe stands virtually no chance against this monster.
In fact, I think everyone short of Cruiserweight would lose.
Tarver, Johnson, Hopkins, Taylor,
all of them. Forgettaboutit. I'm not kidding either.
your taking the piss right, did you not see the way he was humilated by Calzaghe, Kessler would annihalate Lacy, at least Kessler put up a fight
against Calzaghe .
fact is as bad as it may look no one has landed more shots on hopkins black ass as Calzaghe, which to be fair says as much for hopkins as it dose for Calzaghe, I neither love nor hate hopkins but you got to applaud him for his ability to avoid getting hit yet still lokking like he has been run over by a train. Calzaghes style is odd but caused hopkins all kinds of trouble he spent more time ducking and diving in this fight i reckon thats all he must have done in training, hats off to the old man he is still better than most in that division,
wasnt a banned substance at all are ppl so blind due to there love of khan, he aint denied anything, he is within the law, poor guy is innocent and the levels make very little diffrence to overall performance, dude is been shot down in witch hunt.
there certainly seems to be a lack of appreciation for highly skilled counter punchers like JMM and FMJ, this to me is what been a great boxer is about, hitting and not getting hit and to me this can be just as exciting to watch as an out and out brawl, JMM showed Pac aint the untouchable god many of these kids think he is and when he faces the best in the world you will see he aint nowhere near the the best, personaly i think this is why Pac is doing all he can to avoid this fight as the shattering of this illusion would spell disaster for how he is precieved.
Calzaghe, he would have won this tourney, he would have beat the crap out of Froch even worse than Ward did, it would certainly of been a tough fight between ward and Cal but he would have had far too many tricks and way to higher work rate for Ward to have overcome him, just a shame he ddint stick around to do this tourney, all that said Ward is the deserved winner although id like to see him fight a in form Kessler.
yeah, amir comes into your hometown to get straight JOBBED by your hometown ref. . . gets cheated on the scorecards. . . and you can't have the common damn decency to give him a rematch? he LOST that fight. . . plain and simple. . . lose respect for peterson if he doesn't give khan a rematch, after what khan did for him. . khan didn't have to fight him, AND IN DC?!
you make it sound like Amir was going there as a favour to Peterson, he4 clearly had no respect for him , he thought he was going to just walk all over the guy and make him look a fool infront of his home town and boost his value in the US while also taking Petersons fans, and the clown even had the audacity to invite the president to come watch super star Khan make a fool out this guy in his back yard, the lightness in which he was taking Peterson is reflected in the contract he signed to get him to fight, no rematch clause as he didnt even consider needing a rematch and i gaurantee he wasnt ever going to give lamont one, and also GB had no options on him as they just seen him as a steping stone.
he was always a con in my eyes and always will be, i feel he aint winning a Lamont rematch anyway, Peterson is in the driving seat now and has proved so to be a smart cookie and im sure he gona let Khan dictate nothing to him, Peterson knows from the offset now what it takes to beat Khan, he will be like a new man full of confidence, he can take Khans best shot with ease and can break his heart faster than last time, Khan is already over looking him and still giving him no credit and he is gona pay for this arrogance.
i think if Rios can ride the early storm for the first four rounds sure enough somewhere in the last four rounds he knocks Khan out, khans pop is all but gone after his early flurries and if you walk him down he crumbles, minus the cheating in the Peterson fight he would not have made it to the end.
Im a fan of Katsidis and have never been intrested in Burns before when iv watched him but iv got to say i was very impressed with the way he handled Katsidis and he is clearly far from been a bum, his game plan was very effective and clearly they watched the Guerrero as that is the blue print for shutting out Katsidis. It maybe was a bit closer than they had it but not by much, im amazed Burns aint moved up sooner he will do well in this division without doubt, i do though think Kats looked weaker than normal and was visibly frustrated with his lack of success he also looked a bit less pumped than he did against Mitchell but he put his heart and soul into knocking Burns out and never looked like doing it credit to burns has to be given for beating a monster like Kats, it was by no means an unfair fight.
to get respect real respect not that fake street **** you have to be respectful and Floyd has no respect for others except himself, no doubt he is and amazing boxing but not an nice person except in a fake way, he wants it that way though as it makes him more cash.
he looks in good shape but find it hard to tell if he looks bigger as the pics are too different, hope he gets the win he deserves he is the better boxer just hope he still has it, also i dont get why he didnt bulk up the same way for Mayweather as that was a bigger fight against the best in the world.
Americans always thinking that europe is inferior, its not a country its a collection of countries all with diffrent languages and cultures, how can you say that all the boxers from these countries are rubbish its nonsense like this thread.
Actually he has beaten Ortiz in the ammies and the last guy to stop Ortiz in the pros.. So YOU shut the fluck up, no knowledge havin' biatch.
Khan - Floyd is the second best fight out there for floyd right now. Even as we speak
they have never met in the pros retard get off khans balls, ortiz will wipe the floor with khan now, id say tim bradley has more chance of a shot at FM khan aint big in the US,
not a chance, im afraid Ortiz is going to get humiliated, just look at the way Mayweather made the legendry JMM look bellow average, a fighter ten times the fighter Ortiz will ever be, i like Ortiz but he is way out of his depth here, if Maidana can make him cry like a baby he is gona wana run to the dressing room by the end of this fight.
Someone pass Khan the toilet paper he's talking **** again, true Ortiz is gona struggle here but he will do better than Khan ever would, who dose he think he is to have a shot at the best boxer in the world anyway, he should fight Ortiz after he loses then we can watch him pick his ass of the canvas again, what a joke fight Maidana mr i never duck a challenge, Mayweather ducking gllass chin Khan give me a break.
amir is a good looking kid to girls. he has that dark and handsome look. and he looks mysterious that women go crazy about.
the only thing thats mystrerious is how he aint been knocked out again, but fighting a load of bums would do that i geus, as for been good looking thats just another con.
Yeah Ortiz was so in control he got frustrated and tried a flying headbutt, be real sure Ortiz wasnt doing to bad he was applying pressure but he had Floyd in the corner with nowhere to go and couldnt connect with a decent shot, thats why he tried the butt which lead to him getting ktfo, who knows had he been able to stay clam anything could have happend but he was frustrated hitting thin air time and time again, i personaly would like to see a rematch just to see how it would have panned out but i think he was getting out boxed and was always going to lose, but you never no and im not a floyd fan but he was struggling and his actions prove this.
hmmm nope, Mays round, sure Ortiz had some success but clearly was very frustrated hence the fact he felt the need to slap the nut on him, not the actions of a man winning anything, dont seem like Ortiz is keen on a rematch either.
im glad he got his refund but someone needs to tell teach that girl to not smack her lips when she eats, couldnt even hear what he was saying it was pissing me off so much
if peterson is still in good shape in the second half of the fight I expect an upset, Khan tires late in fights and Peterson dont, i dont think Khan has the power to KO Peterson but but the speed could give him hell, i think Peterson is been over looked somewhat though.
Duran, SRL, Hearns, Hagler, Whitaker i think though would be the one to beat him at his own game and so i think stands the greatest chance. but any of the others would be great fights although Mayweather i realy do think is under rated so all would be close but Sugar Ray and Hearns would have given him massive problems, i bet SRL could still give him a run for his money, i seen him skipping a couple of years ago and totaly owned ODH.
Calzaghe was a cut above all these guys, except maybe Ward, i think he still beats them all but Ward gives him the most trouble, he was too fast and agile for them, he would just out box Froch but it would have been a good scrap right to the end, Abraham he walks over, i just wish he would have hung about to do this tourney coz he would have won.
