If he didn't already make it obvious that this was a personal vendetta, Naz has now made it abundantly clear. Stick to the fast food mate; we know you are a burger king, and no longer a boxing prince.
Dude....too funny!
Not a big fan of Fury, but I will not call him a bum. At least he is trying, and keeps stirring things up in the division. Cats like Wilder ranked 3rd without a top ten fight? Being mentioned and the guy doesn't call anyone out at all - if you go back as far as the 80's with what fighters had to go through to break the top 15 - the murderers you had to face in eliminators to get your shot , then the level the champions where on - you had to really be able to fight - the last great champion was Lennox Lewis - no real disrespect to the K bros, but lennox fought Vitality with a 2 weeks notice - he was scheduled to fight kirk johnson, but johnson pulled out with 2 weeks left and HBO paid Lenox more $ to fight Vitali, that is why Vitali was doing so good with him because johnson was like 6 foot 1 or 2 and vitali is 6 foot 7 - no time to truly prepare for a guy that big - but yet no one even speaks about this - this is one of the main reasons why cats like hopefuls stuck around for solo long besides their financial situations
He can go after the world commonwealth belt, and fyi Vasquez will frustrate the hell out of burns, his footwork is too good. This is where Burns and his camp lose because they have not fought the better opposition, Vasquez has only lost to Canelo Alvarez and Timothy Bradley, not sure Burns belongs with this group of fighters
So we have 2 official Chisora fans on here. Chisora is a bum ! Scott will KO him. Glazkov would KO him ! Chisora does ok against stand still in your face fighters ! Yes I did think he did enough to win the Helenious fight, but coming in super overweight against fury and getting KO'd by Haye after he was dominated - please - don't get me wrong Haye is an elite heavyweight for this era, but Chisora is going to get out classed and KO'd.
Its the punch you do not see (Vitali is not hitting you with stuff you can't see coming)- let me put it this way Glazkov can tko him, Scott will catch him - he throws good shots from all angles - and KO him. Chisora has a good chin, but a good chin does not protect what the eyes do not detect.
First off cleverly's team sounds scared - have yet to hear anything come out of the russians camp. What makes kovalev so dangerous is his punch selection / placement / and accuracy. That is what there is too be worried about. Kovalev is all right for a guy like hopkins who feasts on aggressive pressure fighters. I heard cleverly lacks discipline and can be drawn into wars?
Haye is a dog nuff said - he likes to punish and maim his opponents. In this fight we will learn what fury is made of? He can make adjustments but can he time haye? You have to exceptional footwork to cut the ring off on haye. Haye is a killer that goes for it and the best part is that haye now has the experience against the giants (valuev / wlad K / audley H) that is massive experience because he went the distance with 2 of them who where champions and are better than fury. Haye is going to really hurt this man.
Not sure many on here know Thurman 's story. He was the chief sparring partner for Winky Wright at 15 years old give or take a year. His amateur career wasn't as promising because he always had a pro style! The fight against Bundu was boring to most, but let the world know if you guys where watching how much of a threat he is ! That Bundu fight had the makings of a spoiler fight like what Herrera did to provodnikov! Bundu throws a gan of feints, keeps moving and throws combo but doesn't commit - so if Thurman was over rated he would have fell for the trap - instead he out boxed the boxer and out footworked the mover in UD style! He ****'d bundu's head up so bad that he swept him and made bundu think- the only way I can win is by engaging this animal and if I do I will get ko'd - Thurman is a serious threat - those that understand know, those that just see fist flying see him as overrated - oooh well..
dam, Algeire is 1 fight removed from Friday night fights - I will not be tuning in on this one - Fans need to step up and voice their opinion - boycott this shyt.. I picked Algiere to upset the Russian because of his style, but he is not entertaining enuff to drop no real $$ I guess they are banking on the pay per view coming in from China - Very upset about this one this is almost as bad as Danny Garcia against Andy Roddick.. I mean Salka dude...
Sure just like this Paddy Fitzpatrick dude writing a letter to the British boxing board about how he feels that Froch has taken too many shots to the head and that they need to look closely at the fight and that they should advise Froch to retire etc... Shady stuff...
Fishy - top rank had to make sure Rios won he was losing
everytime he complained in the side pocket ref would take a point - rios was grinding his head into Chaves all night - BS - Brandon was losing, not badly but it was a very close fight - should not have been a DQ, the replays show nothing
I'd watch it just to see Sr's face when GGG knocks his son's head into the stands.[/QUOTE
Funny quote ! How good is Jr? I couldnt stand his dad all the posturing and posing he would do in the ring..what is the video of in tour post - hilarious. ..
it would boil down to confidense, Calzaghe doesnt have the power to keep ward off him, so calzaghe's strategy would have to be on point, I think calzaghe has the faster hands/punch output / and punch selection. Ward has youth / can make round by round adjustments / olympic gold medal pedigree. the deciding factor may only be confidence - its well documented about calzaghe's reluctance to take big fights, and ward is brimming with confidence - thats about it, because you cant say calzaghe has the better resume' (jones 39 - hopkins 44 ?) so its pretty even, calzaghe would have to sit on his punches more to keep ward from mauling him(that is his style of choice) and how calzaghe puches - its effective but still amatuerish(not dissing him) and you know what type of amatuer pedigree ward has if he is a gold medalist !
Koncz just made Jr look like a Clown, made Jr run to Pac hahahah:bottle::dance:
Delusional biased quote as usual. Stop making yourself look like a blind follower - Floyd and Manny have mutual respect for one another, they do not hate each other.
as someone who has followed Cloud for a good portion of his career, he came from dirt, and has made good $. He doesn't look like he wants to fight anymore, he used to be a junk yard dog! He doesn't fight with the same intensity.
Carson Jones is a DOG! Kell brook better not go in there underestimating this guy - His best win is not said quali - its his past 8 fights, this guy has been through it, I hear Kell Brook is good, but who has he really fought? not a swipe, its just that with his arrogance and his opponent having 8 losses he might over look jones - I have been really impressed with Jones, he could have given up a looong time ago - he is really a DOG in the ring now - Brook better be prepared or have a rematch clause !
Cotto wins the rematch ! He fought PAC last time without a corner, you guys don't remember that ? Who the he'll can beat manny with a corner? Mark my words
Haters need to re-read what Spence said - he used his boxing IQ made an adjustment midway thru the fight and carried Brook at a pace he knew Brook couldn't handle! Brook is a spoilt fighter - lazy and coddled ! Hearn should have had an intervention with Brook, gave him some internal step aside $ and made him fight at 154 - fans can give their favorite fighter excuses, but the ring doesn't lie, and Brook had a fundamental flaw - that Spence knew he could exploit because of his work ethic and the types of camps he puts himself thru, you cannot stay at the top level fight in C level fighters and not constantly putting that work in!! Spence spars Jermell Charlo on the regular ! The only thing Spence had to over come was nerves - overseas/ 1st title fight/ 27,000 fans - it takes a round or 2 to acclimated
pac has been showing a decline for a few years now whereas floyd still seems to be sharper than ever. just look at his fight with canelo for example.
plus add to the fact that floyd failed 3 tests in the past but they were swept under the rug by USADA.
The reason Pac is showing decline is because he is a pressure fighter, he brings ass to get ass - pressure fighters fall off earlier in their career. the greats are able to carry on for a few years longer (Duran / Pac / Chavez sr.) but when they fall off its no coming back. Floyd is defense first a more cerebral fighter, Manny is a thinker, but he lacks patience at times. Thinkers per se (Marquez - 40 / Bhop - 49 / Floyd - 38 / Wlad - 38 / still doing it at an elite level...all are current Champs..
Kieth Thurman is the goods! Very good ring iQ - look at how he fought Diego Chaves (his last fight) . He went at him for the first couple of rounds then got off the gas to set him up- he explained it in an interview. I do not think GBP is going to not set up the best matches because there will always be another one to build or replace. The only Bum they are clearly protecting is Deontay Wilder #3 ranked Heavyweight who has not fought anyone even in the top 25... Thurman is very dangerous because he puts in the work ( used to be the chief sparring partner for winky wright) Dan Birmingham his trainer knows what he got - it's a winky wright with hellacious offense, who can slip and bang and studies the game - I expect some very good things from Mr. thurman
I agree, and who do you favor in this match up?
I favor Chunky if he comes back like he was in the early rounds in the Jack fight, but maybe the late round beatings Badou gave James probably took some year's off his prime!
Chunky has the pedigree - but he has been in some helacious wars lately and Benaviedez is no slouch, very young/confident/hungry - I will have to see how Degale looks in this fight coming up b4 I can comment
Are we talking about the fight game / boxing or you talking about wsop talking about bluffs. Like your the one getting hit in the head.. G and hid team will step away on their terms not some fans on boxing scene.
Take emotion out of it, step away from Fan mode, boxing is negotiations, posturing, A side / B side - threaten to walk, let the fans create an uproar of demand, then come back to the table with more leverage - don't quote my shyt and leave such a weak rebutl - next time read my quote and step out of fan mode you might truly get what I'm conveying - it's bigger than your certain affection for a certain fighter who continues to lose at the negotiating table
:bottle::bottle::lame:
Ok, shut up fight and fight Brook.
That's the biggest fight for him - either Khan vs Brook or Khan vs Silence - good win over Devon but dam - i guess he was really beginning to have self doubt
reading these comments are sad ! Mr Holyfield is not asking for any sympathy or pity, he is a born fighter, just like he is fighting for his belongings.If the media / news or whatever medium was not all in his business, none of us would know about the financial crisis he is in. The thing with money is, its yours and you can spend it however you like - who is anyone to judge this man, i do not see him asking for shyt but the belongings he earned while fighting for 2 faced fans that seem to get off on kicking legends(boxing legends for this situation) when they are down. Sometimes just read the article and keep the venom to yourselves - this man is a fighter and will die one - wether he is broke or blessed. But to read some of these comments, i had to reply! Holyfield at least was able to buy what he wanted, and live how he wanted while his finances where good - But I have yet to see this man cry about his situation, ask for a hand out, or anything - so step off....
I do like Robert Gatcia with Rubio - good for his mental. Rubio is a solid guy, he takes a minute to warm up and figure out his opponent, and he has underated power even tho he has like 50 ko's. But he is still pretty stationary and thats the formula. GGG better start facing some movers, because hopefully the fans and the networks start making him fight better opposition. Sad when the real fight is the supporting main event.
I live in Nashville. I'm usually out north. I work Mon-Thurs at Nashville Tech college. I'm on the construction site, so it ain't hard to find. We can do it any way you want it. We can knuckle up. We can bust yalkz. It don't make me none homie. Just come strong. Cause I ain't no easy win.
Dam hitking, if dude steps he better pack that lunch - lol
Yeah the racism I am reading over a fight is ridiculous on here - son of Obama - ghetto etc.. Wtf is all of that needed? Alex Aliza is shady, and his controversial acts going into the 12th might have cost Maidana a very clear victory- do not fall into stereotypes all races have them, Broner losing should be enuff but the racism spewing is taking us all back 75 years at least. If this investigation holds any water there will be a lot of crow eating, and Broner will be able to act out again - he does not represent blacks, just all the wrong stereotypes of blacks, and for what I am reading a lot of people on here are just as dumb as he is for falling for it. Boxing unites - if the 2 combatants can shake hands at the end of the night, keyboard warriors can do the same
Manny told the athletic commission before the fight and he isn't obligated to disclosehis medical Information to anyone. He thought his shoulder would hold up but he re aggrevated it in the 3rd. How is what Manny did dishonest? Floyd barely beat a one armed pacquiao and I'm not sure he did beat him. After going back and watching it again, many punches that I thought mayweather landed were actually deflected by pacquiao, including when he had pacquiao on the ropes and appeared to be teeing off, yet every punch was blocked. Mannys punches were much more effective and you could hear them thumping. Mayweather didn't hurt pacquiao once. Pacquiao hurt him many times. Mayweather is going down in a rematch
Buddy, you win the prize! I think you put your forehead on the tip of a bat and spun around for 10 mins then wrote your dick ridin post! Its one thing to be a fan, then another too be a fanatic! you guys weren't this up in arms over the loss to Bradley, and he clearly lost this fight! Excuses are excuses, if the problem was as bad as stated then his inept team should have postponed the fight! This whole side of the equation(Manny / roach/top rank / his fans) are ruining the sport! and that's the sad part about it - you only care about 1 fighter when there are many many more to move on to and give support. Manny and Roach where taking selfies during their ring walk(a freakin selfie)- Manny had no clue, nor did the joke coach Roach! swallow it and move on
porter and alexander suck, brook needs to get some self beleif, the porter i seen against diaz wouldnt even beat senchenko.
Was thinking the same thing, but since the Diaz fights his conditioning has gotten alot better, he looks way more fit, and lastly he is not smothering his work anymore - (meaning smothering his own punches).
This is going to be a good fight!! Spence doesn't have the most stacked resume, he needs a Lamont Peterson on his resume - itsnot a give me fight because Lamont stays in shape, and fights like this either you step up or get stepped on!! I think this will be a good one!
