Can we all agree that Benavidez power is only good against smaller guys that he can weight bully? He fought someone his own size for the first time ever and it was as if he was throwing cotton balls In the last round he was panting for air, his punches had absolutely nothing behind them. What happened to his ¨endless stamina¨? He's lucky Gvozdyk is old, slow and washed up, otherwise things wouldn't have ended well for him Now that he realizes he can't compete with guys his own size, no wonder he's rushing to beg for a fight with little Canelo again This guy will never fight Beterbiev or Bivol, he knows he'd get wrecked

Because it was bs and it never existed in the first place I still remember that bs staged sparring when he supposedly got cut, with someone's yelling ¨HE'S CUT¨ when Fury and his sparring partner still had the headgear on and there was no way they could look at it Then I remember the bs photoshopped picture with Fury smiling and showing off his ¨cut¨. Fake af This guy pulled out of the first fight, no doubt. I think he was insecure, having flashbacks of cruiserweight Cunningham dropping him on his ass years ago, having to resort to holding and hiting to win against the small guy Now he had to face another small dude in front of him, only way, waaay better than Cunningham. Usyk's the first true elite fighter he's ever fought, not washed up and mentally out of there like Wlad, not an overrated one trick pony with a punch like Wilder, but a consummate technician, extremely skilled, disciplined and professional No wonder he was looking for a way out I think Fury would have never taken this fight if it wasn't for the multimillion dollar fine he'd have to pay if he pulled out again He probably staged the ¨cut¨, then had long talks with his lawyers, asking if he could get away with dropping the fight - ¨can they really fine me even if I never put a foot on Arabia again??¨ - ¨what if I stage and even seriouser injury, guys, can they still fine me?¨ - ¨If I get fined, can you guys help me pay less money than that? HELP ME GUYZ¨ :( Once he realized there was no way out without paying back millions of pounds, he decided to take the plunge and fight the ¨middleweight¨ I'm so glad this con-man finally got his arse kicked, he's bad for boxing, always has been Thanks for annihilating hypejob Wilder, though. Only good thing he's ever done for the sport

Elbows, holding and hitting, and a disgusting amount of blatant rabbit punches during the clinch the biased referee gave Haney multiple warnings but otherwise didn't do jack shit about it Poor Loma felt so frustrated and helpless at some point due to the dirty fouling, that he tackled Haney to the ground with a wrestling move, but aside from that he kept it clean, like the class act he is Loma, another euro getting shafted on american soil, victim of a biased referee, judges and venue favoring the local fighter even if he's a dirty cheater. Worst example of this kind of corruption since the Ward-Kovalev debacle {"alt":"Click image for larger version Name:\tDSC_0920.jpg?w=600&ssl=1.jpg Views:\t0 Size:\t62.2 KB ID:\t31867120","data-align":"none","data-attachmentid":"31867120","data-size":"full","title":"DSC_0920.jpg?w=600&ssl=1.jpg"} ​

After watching the embarrasing mental breakdown of mental midget Joshua after the Usyk rematch, it got me thinking.. what fighters have been the exact opposite? Fighters who never lose their composure, nor in the middle of a fight if things aren't going their way, or in a post fight interview if they lose Fighters who can be broken physically, but never mentally who can't be rattled in trash talks, won't lose focus despite bad external circumstances, etc I think Vitali Klitschko was a good example of this. Such a cold, calculated, fearless fighter, who was all business during all kind of strain. You could throw this man in a tank full of killer sharks, and his facial expression wouldn't change as he tries to find an exit Any other good examples of anti-Joshua fighters?

As in pain and / or lasting damage done to you It can be during sparring or a fight irl I'll start: back when I was training boxing, I did some heavy spar with some stocky brawler type dude, and he landed a heavy left hook on my left ear I immediately heard a ringing sound, followed by ear pain and dizziness. The ringing lasted for hours, I went to the doctor, it turned out I had a busted eardrum It took like 2 uncomfortable months to fully heal during that time I experimented ear pain, vertigo, and couldn't listen to loud music, along with some hard to describe sensation whenever I chew on something So what are your experiences with hurtful punches?

New truths have been revealed in Erik Morales' podcast Here El Terrible interviews Fernando Beltran, the owner of Zanfer, Mexico's biggest promotional company Zanfer has promoted plenty of mexican champions, including Chavez Sr, Jorge Arce, JMM, and Morales himself, and it currently promotes Gallo Estrada, Navarrete, Berchelt, among others Jose Luis Castillo was one Beltran's fighters at the time he gave Mayweather what many consider Floyd's ¨unofficial loss¨, he starts talking about the JLC-Mayweather saga at 4:00 https://youtu.be/5SkQHu-Aah0 Some interesting stuff Beltran says here (sorry, no english translation but spanish speakers can corroborate the info): - Even Bob Arum (along with Beltran and millions of other watchers) thought JLC won the first match - For the rematch, JLC got paid twice the purse of the first fight (Floyd must have been desperate to erase the unofficial stain on his resume) - Castillo fell in love with some girl and stopped giving a **** about the rematch. Beltran claims: ¨this dummy told me.. I don't want to fight.. leave me the **** alone.. I was like wtf.¨ - Castillo didn't want to fight, didn't want to train, and even went missing 3 weeks before the day of the rematch. Beltran's ppl actually had to find him. - JLC went totally untrained and unmotivated for the rematch ¨no wonder we clearly lost that one¨, says Beltran with a face still filled with frustration and dissapointment so many years later. He thinks a focused JLC could have truly beaten Mayweather in convincing fashion Morale of the story - Once again, women are the downfall of men - Floyd never truly beat JLC in convincing fashion, and never avenged his unofficial loss, as the guy he rematched had to be practically dragged into the ring against his will and didn't give two ****s about the fight :(

Boogieman: a fighter who is avoided by most, if not all, of the other top fighters in the division. The boogieman is highly avoided either because he's high risk / low reward, or simply because the other fighters don't fancy their chances against him *chicken sounds*. The boogieman is often unoficially regarded by fans as the best fighter and unsung king of the division, or at least one of the best talents that'll shine if he ever gets his lucky break List of current Boogiemen per division (2022) HW - it was Ortiz for a good while, but maybe Dillian Whyte is now ready to take the mantle CW - ? LHW - ? (maybe Bivol, as Beterbiev is clearly avoiding this guy like the plague) SMW - Canelo cleaned this division, so no boogieman here. Btw props to ginger for beating not one, but two boogiemen in the past: Lara and GGG MW - ? . Used to be GGG. It's probably Andrade now, as the other fighters seem hell bent on avoiding him LMW - Sebastian Fundora WW - Boots Ennis LWW - Arnold Barboza LW - Lomachenko. it's clear he's morphed from kingpin into boogieman of the division after losing to Teofimo. All beltholders are steering clear of him. SFW - ? FW - ? SBW - ? BW - Rigondeaux has been the traditional boogieman here for many years, i'm not sure if things might change after his loss to Casimero Super Flyweight - Probably none atm, the top fighters routinely fight each other in this division, which is a rarity in boxing Flyweight - ? Light flyweight - ? Minimumweight - ? Am I leaving some boogiemen out of the list? Name them so the list can be expanded

Straight from the horses' mouth (spanish speakers can corroborate this info): https://youtu.be/q3qKdSKrnlY Gómez is best known for winning third place in the reality tv show The Contender, hosted by Sly Stallone. He holds notable victories over former world champs Jose Luis ¨Floydbeater¨ Castillo and Peter Manfredo Jr. He also KO'd Arturo Gatti into retirement among the biggest names he challenged were Canelo, Miguel Cotto and Shawn Porter in world title bouts, but came up short against all of them. He retired in 2015 and, according to himself, he squandered all his money in just 6 years. He's now 41yo, totally broke and literally living on the streets, claims he lost everything, his money, family, career, health, etc, due to drug addiction Sad story thoughts?

Floyd reached a phony 50-0 fighting a 0-0-0 non boxer bum, asking for 100$ PPV, in what should be looked at as the biggest scam in the sport ever then he retired, fought an overmatched japanese midget and lately, a youtuber. The so called ¨TBE¨ even managed to look bad against Logan Paul, whom he couldn't stop or ass whoop, like he'd claim he'd do. This was a terrible look for the sport, when so many consider him actually the TBE in boxing (bs) or at least the best fighter of his generation Chavez's just fails to deliver, over and over again, unprofessional twat who is just there to collect checks, was satisfied with being a punching bag for Canelo, quit against Jacobs and now got dominated by a 46yo, retired MMA fighter Yeah, Floyd won, but he struggled against a youtuber. Chavez lost, but against a veteran fighter considered one of the best ever in his sport Floyd calls himself, and many people also consider him ¨TBE¨ in boxing. Chavez Jr managed to beat a few decent fighters back in the day, but he was never close to ¨greatness¨, he lived off his daddy's name and any hype that surrounded him died years ago. At this point, nobody should have high expectations about him So yeah, Floyd's the bigger disgrace for boxing nowadays imo, but it's a close call

Basically he didn't even try to win until the second half of the fight but by then, Teofimo already had all the first half of the fight in the bag due to activity alone seriously wtf was Loma's thinking, you don't come to a fight expecting to win without throwing punches, he looked worse than Broner out there! This is not Loma. This is not what he does. and he wasn't scared of Lopez's power either, don't give me that crap. Remember when Walters was the most feared puncher in the division and how Loma made him quit? and on top of that, Teofimo didn't land any bombs on Loma in the early rounds, he was never dropped or hurt, and he only got momentarily stunned once in the 12th, when he was (finally) swinging for the fences. Aside from some body punches, Lopez barely landed anything clean in the early rounds! so how could Loma be "scurred" of Teofimo's power? Loma was blocking and deflecting most of the punches but wasn't throwing anything in return! It was inactivity that made Loma lose those rounds, not Lopez's skills It should be clear for everyone that Loma wasn't mentally focused for this fight. This reminded me of Wlad vs Fury... dude was mentally out of there, we learned later on that Klitschko was distracted because of his crazy wife with post partum depression, with his marriage breaking apart, he didn't truly care about winning the fight until it was too late Probably something similar happened to Loma here, he might be dealing with personal problems, probably his wife is a ***** too, or unfaithful, or who knows... women have been the downfall of men since ever..I don't know, but this isn't the Loma we all know, this was a mentally defeated man, who had already lost the fight before stepping into the ring. Yeah, he tried to react in the later rounds (just like Wlad vs Fury) but by then, it was too late A focused, hungry Loma beats Lopez any day of the week and twice on sunday

...that turned out to be total bull****, a mere publicity stunt, or both. I'll start: - Andre Ward claiming he'd compete at HW and become champ. - GGG: "anyone from 154 to 168". Feel free to contribute more

These two are no doubt the top mexican fighters atm, but who should be regarded as the superior and therefore bestest mexican? We know Estrada will never be nearly as popular or rich as ginger because majority of fans don't care about midget fights but... - between the two, who's the more skilled fighter? - Who has the best resume, Canelo or Gallo? - If they were the same size, let's say both were Welters or SW, who would win in a fight? Imo Canelo is the superior fighter in all 3 depths as proven by his victory over GGG alone. Defeating (even if he just eeked out a victory) an undefeated, ATG middleweight (in a p4p sense) widely considered as the most feared boxer on the division and the planet as a whole, triumphs everything Estrada has done so far. Nelo's victories over the likes of Cotto, Trout, Lara, etc only add to such impressive feat. Gallo has some pretty good victories but he hasn't beaten anyone nearly as great as GGG

Ginger about to make history No other mexican fighter, or any other latino fighter, has ever hold 3 major belts from the same division at the same time Duran had the chance in 1983, when he fought Hagler at 160 but failed Trinidad could have won 3 major belts at 160 when he faced Hopkins but failed Oscar had the same chance, had he beaten Mosley in 2003 but also failed he also failed once again against Hopkins at 160 (could have won 4) If Canelo manages to beat Jacobs next may 4th, he'll get that coveted third belt at MW. Can we all agree ginger is a lock for the HOF if he does? maybe P4P #1?

He ate a huge, greasy pizza before the fight, which clearly slowed him down that was a big ass mistake, as he needed all the speed in the world to compete with the much bigger, stronger guy with longer reach. Mikey was the more skilled fighter but just too slow tonight, that's why he was tagged more than he should have been Mikey basically committed fight-suicide the moment he ate that cheese-and-grease coated slop that has little no health benefits

He was never close to hurting Wilder despite being like 50 lbs heavier and landing flush punches constantly pathetic power, specially considering his size and the fact that Wilder isn't known for having strong whiskers this is the same guy who was hurt by the smaller school teacher Molina and floored by Dust "the worm" Nichols yet Tyson couldn't put a dent on him, heck, Fury was the one who was close to being KTFO I think it's time for a new nickname for Fury like "Too Fluff" Fury of "Hands of cotton"

If not, can someone point me at a major victory for mexican boxing than a mexican beating one of the greatest MW ever (MW being a division where mexicans usually dont shine at all), who was the dominant champion, with nearly 20 defenses, a brilliant amateur career, undefeated, record holder for most KOs of any MW champion ever, and was at least at the tail end of his prime? This victory seems better than Chavez Sr over Meldrick Taylor, Marquez icing a Pacquiao with multiple previous losses or Salvador Sanchez beating a green Azumah Nelson did Canelo just gave Mexico its greatest boxing victory?

Let's say Crawford tried to follow the footsteps of Amir Khan and accepted a big payday to challenge boxing's biggest cash cow at MW What do you think ppl, could "Bud" triumph where King Khan failed? would he get caught and put to sleep by the "face of boxing" too?

It'd be a brilliant move Not only Memo will be able to beat ANY testing out there and turn Canelo into some killing machine with his unrivaled drug expertise, all the mexican Canelo haters will be forced to shut the **** up about Canelo being on PEDs, why? because Heredia was behind Marquez's success in later years, including the KO against Pac, Heredia was the angel on JMM's shoulder, so if mexicans claim that ginger is doping with Heredia, they'd also be admitting that JMM did, and trust me, ALL the Canelo haters in mexico are also huge fans of JMM, it's a Floyd/Pac kinda situation there So hiring Heredia would secure the full support of the whole mexican fanbase for ginger and also get him the bestest PED guru (along with Conte) in the business, so he'll never be caught if he really wants to cheat in the future agree? Y/N

Too bad Rigo ducked the match at 126 back in the day In this fight, even as the bigger man, Loma was still the faster man with the superior footwork. Poor Rigo couldn't deal with Loma's speed, accuracy and angles at all, he was hitting nothing but air and had to resort to his inner Ward and try dirty tactics like ducking below the waist and clinching like a ***** all night, too bad he ain't Ward or Floydette, so the ref wasn't blatantly on his side/pocket once Rigo got that point deduction and realized he was outclassed and couldn't get away with dirty tactics either, he took the coward's way out and quit like punk Size didn't play a factor on this fight, Loma won this fight based on his superior skills, workrate and speed at 126 Loma would have been even faster at 126 Loma would have schooled and humilliated Rigo even easier agree? y/n

I think I included all the plausible options in that poll

35 years and nearly 400 fights counting amateur and professional No wonder he´s thinking about retirement, fighting and training so much for so long takes a huge toll in the human body and mind even if GGG is a special human being, hardest mw puncher ever, greatest mw chin ever, arguably the greatest mw ever h2h, period. he is still a human being. He´s been on a steady decline for a while, it was obvious in the Brook fight, and gets more obvious with each new fight Prime GGG, the one who destroyed Prokza (aka the polish Sergio Martinez) would have brutally ko´d both Jacobs and Canelo for sure but that GGG is gone GGG can still do great things because he is that good, that´s the way legendary fighters are. but keep in mind, any future achievements, any new victories by current GGG, they are being accomplished by a shadow of his former self.

He needs a world class strenght & conditioning training so he can improve his abysmal stamina levels being trained by only those nobodies in his camp clearly isnt helping Stamina was ginger´s downfall in this fight, he could only fight in spurts, had to take breaks in almost every round, losing any momentum he had and giving it to GGG. If Canelo had the stamina of a prime Pacquiao he´d be a monster. Stamina is the easiest thing to improve in boxing. It´s not like power or speed, you´re either born with those traits or you don´t, but stamina can be improved, specially if you are still young like ginger he has the money to get any trainer he wants, he needs to ditch those losers in his camp. they are holding him back Canelo should get Heredia and improve a tenfold in his overall physical condition like 40yo JMM did

I.R.S told to Floyd "pay me the taxes you owe me or i'll **** you up" Floyd replied "wait 'til finish my circus fight with that bum Conrad, i'll be swimming in the dough after that" So what if the event flops financially? what if the PPV sells less than Crawford's last PPV? (in a perfect world where suckers didn't exist, that's exactly what would happen) Is there a chance for Floyd to get canned again?? https://heavyeditorial.files.wordpress.com/2015/05/145547017.jpg?quality=65&strip=all&strip=all

I think I've convinced about 15 persons between co-workers and acquaintances, to not waste their money on the Farce of the Century, hopefully they will convince other people to stay away from the circus, or at the very least, not pay a cent to watch it, maybe i'll even provide them with links to stream it when the time comes. Some of these people were believing the hype and were about to waste their hard earned money on this scam, because this is what the fight is, a gigantic scam, maybe the biggest in sport's history, considering the price, and the amount of money involved I had to take my time, and use facts, arguement skills, and even show footage to some of them to convince them that they were being conned. It's a time consuming labour, but it's ok, this is for the good of the sport. Because If you call yourself a boxing fan, you'll want this circus to FAIL HARD. So the next diva of boxing doesn't try to something similar. Floyd is a scammer, a con artist, an opportunistic twat for doing this. Connor is no better. Neither has respect for boxing or its fans, I hope this scam fails miserably, financially speaking, and i'll do what I can to stop these con men from stealing people's money What are YOU doing to prevent your friends and relatives from being scammed with this match? if you're not doing anything, you're either a bad person (because you don't care if people close to you get scammed) or a Floydette fanboy.

GGG's destruction of Brook was so thorough, so devastating, that it was enough to produce 2 victories, one for himself and one for Spence Sorry Brook fans, but it's all over for the Tenerife Cruiser. Brook has gotten Margarito'd by the destructive fists of the kazakh beast. This is Pac-Margo all over again. That eye is seriously and permanently injured and everybody will thump it to **** from now on and stop Brook Brook's boxing days are numbered, the best he could do is going back to fighting bums and TBAs like he used to do, so he can squeeze a few checks before hangin' up the gloves for good So what should Spence do to thank GGG? send him a small check with part of the purse? some flowers and a thank you card? maybe invite him to dinner?

The final bell sounds. The fight is over. GGG walks to his corner like a boss, satisfied after a succesful day at the job Jacobs on the other hand, crumbles on the ropes like a puppet without strings. Exhausted not only physically, but mentally and spiritually. He cant believe he actually survived this fight http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n266/Lopetego/2017-03-20_083350.png Who looks more like the winner there? The wounded Jacobs in on his knees, thanking his god and his lucky stars that he was able to go the distance with The Beast from Kazakhztan, something no one ever achieved before, something Jacobs himself probably doubted he himself could do a number of times throughout the fight while he was getting punished and struggling to survive. Jacobs knows he lost, but he's happy regardless, and thankful that he survived, and he should be. That's a W on itself, even if the true winner of the fight was the STILL undefeated MW kingpin http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n266/Lopetego/2017-03-20_083424.png Meanwhile, even before the official results are announced, the real winner of this fight is already celebrating, look at that prideful, almost smug face, there's no doubt in his mind that he won, and there shouldn't be. Just like there shouldn't be any doubt in the minds of anyone who isn't a biased black supremacist or GGG hater, GGG clearly won this match,his hardest match to date (props to Jacobs), and it wasn't that close. http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n266/Lopetego/2017-03-20_083619.png AND STILL...

Just imagine that windimilling idiot who has the skills of a neanderthal trying to overwhelm a master counterpuncher like Haye that way. Wilder is just begging to get countered with such pathetic technique and sloppy wide punches, too bad the stiffs he choses as opponents don't have the skills nor the balls to even try it Haye also has plenty of power to boot, unlike the abysmal bums Wilder loves to fight (on short notice, so they dont even get a proper training camp, I might add) Haye utterly humilliated Wilder in a sparring session once, for good reason. So can we all agree that Wilder will take a nice canvas nap if he dares to fight the Hayemaker? (which we know he won't, since Haye is dangerous and Wilder doesn't fight those kind of opponents)

The rematch with Fury was a matter of honour, i had to be done. but now with the cokehead clown gone, hopefully for good, Wlad shouldn't be rushing things He's old, he's been inactive for too long, and unfocused on his job because of his crazy ***** of a wife. Ring rust is serious business specially at Wlad's age, furthermore, we dont know if he's still mentally there. losing to a self destructive chump like Fury in one of the worst fights ever can be a serious blow to your confidence We know, Wlad. we know you're a brave man, you want to fight the best and to prove you still got it, but I dont think it's a good idea to be calling out the current top HWs yet Joshua is young, hungry, and has killer power in both hands. yeah, he might be a slow stiff but for all we know, Wlad might have slowed down a lot too with all this inactivity due to Fury being a twat Wlad should be targeting a low ranked HW and shake off that ring rust first, before going for the belts and the top spot again. Any suggestions?

There have been many unfortunate cases of fighters dying from accumulated damage to the head, concussions, blood clots, etc but I've been wondering if anyone has ever died from the damage caused by a body shot, as in internal bleeding, maybe a broken rib puncturing an organ, etc Anyone knows of a case like this?

Dumbassed GGG haters are claiming that Brook was outboxing and peppering GGG with counters and shiet, that if it wasn't for the size difference, Brook could have pulled the W Bull****. GGG got tagged by Brook just because GGG didn't care about Kell's powderpuff punches. While each and every one of GGG's punches were visibly hurting the Speshul One, Brook's best punches were just bouncing off GGG with no effect at all, like a kindergardener punching a grown man. GGG felt Brook's nonexistent power at the beginning of round 1, realized he was fighting a featherfisted opponent and decided to just walk him down and bomb him out, he had zero respect for Kell's power so no need for defense or complex strategies here. GGG clearly spared Brook's life in round 1, he could have ended things right there, when Brook was holding for dear life. but that would have been such a letdown for everybody, so GGG allowed the match to last longer, and he did it for us, the fans. so be thankful. In the following rounds, GGG was disregarding defense a lot because his plan from the beginning was to Knock Brook the **** out, GGG knew he was gonna get robbed on the cards if he allowed the match to last 12, and he knew Brook couldn't hurt him Brook has no power at MW, so GGG's tactic was just to walk through Brook's pillows and take him out. That's all there is to it. GGG is an excellent boxer and a very tactical destroyer with sound defense, it's just that he didn't any of his other skills for this match in particular. So stop trying to use this match as a proof of GGG's ¨glaring defensive flaws¨ Brook never had a snowball's chance in hell. Props to him for being brave unlike all the MW cowards but he was like a lamb send to the slaughterhouse here Nobody below 175 can even tickle GGG
