Khan vs. Brook aka the Super Bowl of Cans. Brook is nothing more than average, but all it takes is the wind gust from one punch to put Khan on shaky legs. Who knows who wins? Who cares? Rotterdam this thread.
Brook is a bum and Khan has no chin. Who cares indeed.

Half of these idiots here dont even know Franco. All they're going by is that he "beat Gamboa in the amateurs."
Im pretty sure that's what Franco is gonna be riding on for as long as he stays undefeated to promote himself. And eventually get exposed.
And like I said before, not sure how anybody would pick Lopez over Russell Jr. Juanma's sh1tty ass stamina + Russell's bodywork = easy work ending up in a KO. Lopez was getting tagged ALL day by a slow ass Mtagwa and Salido, what would Russell Jr do to him?
Salido is slow? Hes no Russell Jr but...
Why does it seem like the Brits don't fully get behind Carl Froch? That's a proven fighter and warrior there people should be praising instead of hypejobs like Khan or unproven domestic fighters like Brooks.
All these Brit hypejobs get KO'ed at the highest level but a dude liek Froch who may lose at the highest level is still a quality fighter with huge balls and an iron chin. Maybe the Brits probably think Froch is Mexican because his chin and testicular fortitude and maybe thats why they don't get behind him?
Cubans can't gain any more traction here than Haitians, Thais, El Salvadorians, or Slovakians due to two reasons:
1) There isn't enough of an ethnic base there to market boxers to and make money. They can do shows in Florida and maybe do okay, but that's it.
2) This small base is squeezed even further because of division between black and white Cubans. Many white Cubans look down on black Cubans and don't want anything to do with them, let alone support them in boxing.

Cuban Boxers aren't lacking popularity among Cuban-Americans because of racism. Racism does exist but it doesn't really apply if you're an athlete. The problem is that Boxing only became popular after communism and most Cubans in Miami were from the time that Boxing wasnt popular or they are the children of these people so they never caught on to Boxing. Dunno about Jersey/NY but I assume its similar.
Tyson kissing the UFC's ass some more, not surprised.
You guys may not know this, since you guys don't know **** about anything, but Tyson has been an MMA fan since 1997, when he saw Mark Kerr fight.
Ironic.
The most catholic country in Asia is making bashing people's faces in a national past time. That place is as backwards as you can get with all the banning of contraception and porn. Beating another man to a bloody pulp is cool though.
Philippines is becoming international joke.
Boxing isn't about violence
Corrales was around 5ft10, not that tall.
If we're having fighters that short then Mike Tyson, Roy Jones Jr, David Tua etc etc
Hes tall for his weight class. I think it does make a difference in weight
Nope.
Mancini-Kim is enough to say no.
We're not the one's in there, we're just watching. Easy to say to bring it back when it's not you.
It was the combination of Ray being a good fighter who hit hard and Kim having a bad weight cut, not the 15 rounds
And a lot of the reason it was made this way was for cable networks not for fighter safety
y'know what? its hard for me to accept, but arum was right for building this fight up and letting chavez get some good wins first.
arum actually delivered... no BS, no controversy, just contracts signed and ready.
No BS or controversy... yet
What you chaps don't realise is that Mundine is a household name in Australia, he just happens to be unknown in the US
lol, no one in the US gives a **** who he is in Aussieland
If Morales wins then we have to watch Morales fight again which can't be great for his health. But then again he has been only knocked out once so....who knows
Its really only the ones who were put to sleep or knocked out a lot that get really punch drunk. But then Erik has made so many fights (even when he didn't have to) into brawls, so you never know.
Either way he doesn't/can't fight like that anymore so hes been pretty hard to hit lately
