Duran vs Mayweather 135 pounds MSG

I heard him say that Donaire was avoding him like Chavez was avoiding Martinez. I didn't hear anything about putting him in the undercard. You heard wrong bro, I'm 100% sure of it!

Mark this thread and bump it after the fight,Manny has slowed down enough for Juan to finally catch him and himself not be caught,Mannys main advantage"speed" will be gone and with his speed it allowed him to land the punches Jmm did not see coming. Jmm is the much better boxer and it was more apparent in the last fight as Manny lacked the speed to catch Jmm with a punch he did not see.This fight will be a clinic and Jmm may even drop Manny this time via counter. I completely agree with your analysis mate. The only BUT I have when comparing Manny's last couple of fights to the Manny that will show up December 8 is that I really, honestly, believe that he's going back to Ariza's magic supplements in this fight. He's not stupid, he knows he won't beat Marquez unless the old Manny (2009) shows up. You can notice it from his team's statements if you know how to read between lines, I've heard Ariza say in the build-up to this fight things along the line of "we need the old manny in order to win this fight and he understands it that's why he has agreed to go back to the methods we were using before"... In my opinion he stopped juicing after the margarito fight in order to give it a try since he knew he would have to take olympic style testing if he fought Floyd.

WAR "THE GHOST"!!! Bring on "The Desert Storm"! Bring on "The Pretty Boy"! If Jesus with you, who against you?

The only thing this video did to me was fantasize about how if I was in Cotto's position I would ask that chick that was adjusting his clothe for her number and and then hopefully meet her in private at night... bye I'm gonna jack off. haha Jk but damnnn I wish I was Cotto there

I would say 'Hurricane', which is about the unjust incarceration of boxer Rubin Carter, if it can be counted as a boxing movie.

Apparently Marisol represented Mexico in Miss Universe in 2003.

Cotto had one too many burritos during training camp thats for sure Trout's style was just all wrong for Cotto. Nothing he could do. Plus, it was the first time he fought a legit 154 pounder.

No doubt, No doubt

Is the word '*******' prohibited on this forum? I just got it censored

Salvador was great till life took it away for him so early but JMM is a master that has a tremendous heart and balls and always comes prepared... JMM by late KO is my take but could be for anyone

LOL to the level of deep water *******ism gets! Beyond imaginably low!

Fortuna I think beats Donaire

Hey Neutral you work for wall street or something champ?

LOL! great video man, thanks for posting

LOL at ESPN readers that don't know sh*t about boxing. One of them suggested on the comment section of the article that mayweather's next opponents should be pacquiao, martinez and CLOTTEY. CLOTTEY! LOFL!!! Another one suggested that he should fight WARD! Most of them only care about him fighting manny (they don't know anyone else) as if it is 100% sure that manny will come out victorious from the marquez fight. I'm really looking forward for my boy JMM to put an ass whooping on pacquiao's ass this saturday so all these "I only know what I see on ESPN" dudes get a nice reality check.

Fact #3 Answer: Trout is an Al Haymon fighter.

Duran. And he is from Panama. I got Kid Gavilan, Panama Al Brown, Carlos Monzon and Finito Lopez completing the top 5.

no mas vs leonard Hattoned by hearns lost to Hagler lost to Vinny P, Camacho and Joppy Ate red meat and drank cokes everyday during training He was great but lets not get carried away I hope you do realize you are a very stupid person... to begin with, those last 3 fights you mention were after 30 years as a professional boxer and 5 weightclasses above his natural one... that's how big of a warrior by nature he was, dude only stopped fighting cause an accident forced him to when he was 50 yrs old... fighting was such a casual thing to him that he took the tommy hearns fight (the most dangerous fight he could take, against a dude whose style and reach advantage was all wrong for him) and partied for two weeks straight with the money bob arum gave him as down payment for the fight thinking 'I don't gotta worry about the fight, I'm a whoop him when it comes around'.Of course he now laughs at his own error which he says he realized as soon as the received the first big punch from tommy and it "stirred all that woman and booze I had in the head" (and I'm not saying he would've won that fight, just telling the story he told about that fight in a spanish espn interview)... and as for the Hagler fight, well.. he was a natural lightweight very much past his prime and went 15 competitive rounds with one of the best middleweights of all time who was in his prime and had won by knockout in all of his previous tittle defenses... Now check this out and learn a little somethin' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4NLUIrxsE4A&feature=endscreen&NR=1

Good episode. Better than 24/7. It's gonna be very tough to beat Trout. Should be a great fight!

the fight in which he won more respect from me in that sense was the cotto fight Check this out! Starts at 3:00 for those who don't want intro http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHX-5BNb2h8 Cotto's a great boxer and had a great game plan, he just didn't had enough stamina. This was BY FAR the best version of cotto post-margarito I. The cuban did a great job formulating a game plan and preparing him.

Well, when they were both in their prime (1st fight) who won??? In the 2nd fight Duran just trained to make weight (he had ballooned to over 50 pounds above welterweight limit 3 months before the fight -having no idea a rematch was about to get signed for that soon- when his manager and promoter accepted an unrejectable offer made to them for the rematch, which was made with the condition that the fight took place not after november. That caught Duran totally off guard, and he knew he wasn't gonna be able to be properly ready for the rematch -which is why he tried to move it to a later date, but it was not posible because there was too much money in play and the condition was that the fight took place before november - so duran just had to roll with it and try to make weight, which he did, but did so struggling real hard just to be able to make it, that's why duran wast nearly as quick and Sharp for the rematch and, therefore, wasn't able to cut the ring as effectively or be as elusive as in the first fight. All these is well documented and if you don't believe me do your own research.

Here is an interview with Duran from 2009 before the Pacquiao Cotto fight, when almost everyone was picking Cotto to knockout Pacquiao, Duran was one of the few who said Pacquiao would win. Reading this interview should tell you why he doesn't like Floyd, Duran sees himself in Pacquiao, and wanted Floyd to fight him bad. Duran even said he would have fought Pacquiao without question, and never understood why Floyd never took the fight. http://www8.gmanews.tv/webpics/infotech/duran.jpg LAS VEGAS – Legendary Panamanian boxer Roberto Duran sees himself in Manny Pacquiao, reason why he’s picking the explosive Filipino boxer to win over Miguel Cotto in their 12-round World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight title fight Saturday (Sunday in Manila). “It’s gonna be a tough fight, but I like Pacquiao," said the 58-year-old boxing legend dubbed “Hands of Stone." “Pacquiao is very tough when he fights. He’s very strong. So I like him." Legendary boxer Roberto ‘Hands of Stone’ Duran in fighting stance during Friday’s weigh-in for the Manny Pacquiao-Miguel Cotto fight in Las Vegas (Saturday in Manila). GMANews.TV Like the Filipino pride, the Panamanian successfully moved up in weight. He began his colorful boxing career fighting as a lightweight, where he won his first world title. Later on, he climbed in weight and became champion in the welterweight, junior middleweight and middleweight divisions. Now a bit plump on the side, Duran is best remembered for his classic wars with Sugar Ray Leonard, Tommy Hearns and Marvelous Marvin Hagler. He retired from boxing in 2002, with a ring record of 103-16, with 70 KOs. Ring Magazine later named him the fifth greatest fighter in the last 80 years. But it was his gung-ho, unrelenting ways of fighting that truly endeared him to hardcore boxing fans. Just like Pacquiao. “Pacquiao is a man that charges on. You can land one on him, but the next time, he won’t be there anymore. He’s a very good fighter," Duran said. Despite Duran seemingly leaning on Pacquiao, he said the fight won’t be easy, stressing that while a knockout is a probability, the Panamanian admitted "I don’t expect one (knockout)." "I’ll have Pacquiao by decision." He probably said that cause he was talking to the filipino media hahah I saw and interview with duran the other day in spanish where he got REALLY pissed off when they asked him about a computer simulated fight ESPN had done between him and pacquiao where pacquiao knocked him out. Like it hurt his pride bad. He went off and (literally) said "PACQUIAO! that's one of those betamax they're talking about (yeah, he did really say betamax lol), pacquiao doesn't whoop me, not even now that I'm old does he whoop me! Listen to what I'm telling you, I prepare myself well and I give him a lesson. He doesn't beat me, I'm telling you, he doesn't beat me. He doesn't have experience to beat me. He has fortitude? I also do. He has punching power? I also do. I know how he fights. He doesn't beat Roberto Duran, I'm telling you. Not even now that I'm old does he beat me!" Then the Reporter asks him: "What do you say to the people at espn that did that?" (Duran answers) "That they're goofy! I tell espn that what they're talking about is all bull****! I wish they would get me a fight with him at this age that I have! I give him a boxing lesson so he learns!" then he walks away and all of the sudden comes back to the reporter and says "and be careful with mosley! Watch out with mosley cause he ain't no fish! listen to what I'm saying! Watch out!" that was when pacquiao was about to fight mosley. And to a certain extent duran was right. Mosley neutralized pacquiao like none of his recent past opponents had, just by moving to his left and jabbing him. And mosley fought that fight with one leg. I think the mosley that fought canelo would have given pacquiao a much tougher fight. Anyways, here's the video of the duran interview http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhwEA4-bhAc

Duran's talking more through his ego as a fighter when he talks about mayweather. It itches him that he isn't 30 years younger right now to take floyd out.

Lucas is 30 (or 31?) and still hasn't reached his prime imo.

Oscar needs to stop being so lame! Unbelievable how not cool he is.

Chemito Moreno

Angulo has decent power and let's assume he suddenly got old in the ring that night. We all know the last thing to go for any fighter is his power, not speed and quickness so no excuses for not throwing punches with conviction. This! He wasn't throwing punches with bad intentions.

Bradley got this.

Khan is a lot dumber than I thought if this is true... horrible match up for him... should've taken alexander instead... ghost will beat him ala berto!
