anyone in the know of what really caused kell brook to be stabbed?...obviously theres more to What has bee reported.

Do Andre Ward's accomplishmenst warrant him entry into the HOF? I read an older interview with from his trainer where he said something along the lines of "If his shoulder surgery isn't successful he can just retire and go into the hall of fame." so it looks like that's the line of thinking his camp his going by. If he retired today (which looks possible right now) this is what he can claim: -Undefeated -Wins over best in his division (Froch, Kessler, Abraham) -Super Six Tournament Winner -#1/#2 (depending on the list) P4P What do you guys think. I could see him going into the HOF.

he looked like he was moving underwater, with no force or power behind his punches. he didnt even look like the killer angulo or seem interested in the fight. I knew he would lose but I was expecting a kill or be killed mentality at the very least. What happened to his Mexican machismo and pride? what the hell was the matter with him?

I was just thinking since Mayweather is running out of opponents to fulfill his contract, why doesnt he just fight Cotto again in a rematch of one of his most action packed fights!! imagine the numbers if they staged it in MSG its ppv material.. so why not?!.. what do you guys say?

I think he is. add him to the list: trinidad, pavlik, pascal, even dawson to a degree. I really dont think cloud will ever be the same fighter. Hopkins was right when he said he takes his opponents souls. what do you guys say?

Im sure most you disagree with floyd saying theres no fights out there for him. aside from canelo (not ready yet) pacquaio (Arum/Top Rank Slave) and bradley (also now a Top Rank Slave), some possible good fights for mayweather after he leaves prison are: -Sergio Martinez -Andre Berto (if he beats ortiz solidly) -Victor Ortiz (opportunity to close the book) -Kell Brook (I know hes not fully proven, but the UK fans would bring in $$$) -Malignaggi (Hey he has a title now and if he can beat devon alexander it makes sense, hes charismatic straight out of jersey shore and its a good tune up for him) what u guys got?

I think he needs to finish business with pascal, or fight cloud, cleverly or shumenov which would be at least be an entertaining defense before having a wrestling and holding fest with andre ward. dont get me wrong it would be a fight between to pound for pound worthy fighters but now is not the time for him to have two boring fights in a row if he wants to be a star.

i just wanted to know if anyone had the specific info because all of the articles have been very vague as far a what gamboa wants.

i think so. povetkin better get on the phone and get atlas back immediately. huck beats him in a rematch, and theres now way he beats a klitschko.

I think it quite obvious he did. his body langage showed he didnt want to fight. he didnt even try to get up. even at the press conference he couldnt look at dawson and was quiet as a mouse. he knows what he did. he cannot win this one with his tactics. dawson is too smart, big, .;ghnmzxz\xfgl ]'\et =ov strong, and motivated and I like this new version him. what u all say?

I dont think so. they are saying he redeemed himself with his win over maidana where he barely survived...how about beating the guy knocked you the f**k out? also he needs to get that maidana rematch off his back also lol

read some article where bradley is talking about his muscle mass and how he is bigger than pacquaio and i couldnt stop laughing...how many KOs does dude have at 140? and he certainly didnt look like a killer at 147 against abregu. it so obvious how this fight will turn out, hes not gonna able to hurt or bully pacman and then hes gonna get hit and run for 12 rounds in a mosley like performance. hes a good fighter but he needs to stay at 140 where he can beat guys like khan. im not paying for this fight.

I always wondered about this and would like to hear from rican people directly. I know there are some who dont care for him because he doesnt live up to previous legends like a trinidad. would be interesting to know this.

I think USS needs to consider retirement. I was a fan of his but seriously, where does he go from here? he wants to go up to heavyweight, but any legit hw can PUNCH. klitschkos would kill him, and even adamek knocked him down how many times? he has no chin, no power to knock any (decent) cruiserweight out and he cant even take a punch from fighters in his own weight class. he should fight a guy like lebedev and if he cant beat him he needs to retire. what do you guys say on this?

i was always curious because you always hear about the hws making the most money and there is more money at hw and I always wondered why? especially looking at the state of the hw division right about now

I would say either martinez or cotto. martinez because hes a legitamite fighter in the top 5 p4p and if mayweather beats him it would end the p4p debate cotto only because he has a name and would be a decent appetizer for pacquaio

its really simple actually. facts for both: Cotto: -only real name win against mosley in a decision that couldve gone etither way -in his prime couldnt ko malignaggi, a C level fighter who he shouldve steamrolled through - in his prime got rocked and staggered by a feather fisted malignaggi who he souldve steamrolled through -took a knee in a fight he was winning against marg which isnt a world class action to take. couldnt go 12 rounds which isnt world class. -got the crap kicked out of him by a smaller man (pacman). a good big man should ALWAYS beat a good small man, so that showed what cotto was. -won a paper 154 lb title against a one legged cripple (foreman) -beat up a faded fighter from the 90s (mayorga) -got touched up by a blind handicapped fighter (marg) and got a shameful technical win that will always have doubt and contreversy due to referee preventing marg, who was good to go, from possibly wearing down and tkoing cotto late and pacquaio assisting by already predamaging margs eye. dont say that could not have happened, remember this is boxing. -Ducked Martinez in a fight that wouldve given him a huge marquee name Mosley: -only name wins were against DLH, in which we found that he was on roids due to his own testimony, therefore those wins dont count -beat up on the real margarito, a shellshocked fighter without wraps who as we now know, is not that good of a fighter to begin with, so thats nothing to be proud of - got beat up by vernon forest twice -got beat up by winky wright twice -origianlly ducked mayweather when mayweather was ready to do it in his prime to go take care of a "toothache" -gassed out and was completely outclassed by mayweather -had a draw against sergio mora in a horrible showing -didnt fight and wanted to quit against pacman -horrible performances in the recent biggest two fights of his career (mayweather, pacman) -is recently now begging taking fights he has no chance of winning to take a beating for paydays -we really dont know when he started and when he was done with the roids so all his wins are asteriks, that pretty much sums it up

I always wondered about this. who has he beaten to be ranked #1 at 154 he hasnt been any of the top 10 guys except foreman who was ranked #10 when he fought him, but come on be serious. cottos gotta beat some of the top names in there like kirkland, lara, paul williams, alvarez even angulo hes gotta beat some top 10 guys and cut the bs.

I saw that because if Cotto is the best they got thats a sad sad state of affairs. Cotto is taking the pacquaio route and fighting made to order /handicapped/ dead opponents. only way he gets any respect is he has to fight martinez at 154. i dont want to hear this mayweather or pacquaio rematch nonsense. he gets destroyed for a payday in both of those fights. thought juanma could carry the torch he was even ranked p4p at one point but hes been exposed as one dimensional fighter with no chin, no defense and will never be a star. calderon is done and taking the cocaine kingpin route lol. so pr needs some new exciting fighters

I watched the kirkland angulo fight and some things came to mind: -I can really see kirkland becoming the next US star and something like tyson if he can keep a string of exciting fights against top competition. as far as the ishida loss, that would quickly be forgotten if he massacres him in a rematch. -I think after all the damage angulo sustained he is done. good boxerss will school him, and punchers know they could take him out. can see him becoming a gatekeeper. golden boy might wanna consider cashing him out against canelo to build up canelos name even more in mexico.

hes still a great figher imo, just ward is on another level. I like to say that ward is an A+ level supermiddle and Froch is an A level. Bute should have to fight froch to get a crack at ward, and i dont thin bute can beat froch being that bute has been feasting on nobodies. also frochs fights as are always a good watch. a great fighter. the brits need to give him more respect. they dont now what they have.

i dont see ward as being a star. his style is horrible to watch and, boring personality, and he cant knock anyone out he a "decision king" if you ask me, i just dont buy the network trying to sell him as the next great american star. how about u?

i think since hopkins got an NC he should return the 1 million since he refused to fight and basically shammed us all. he wasnt injured. anybody who would pay for hopkins fight should be subject to a brain exam.

Just watched the khan peterson fight and gotta say hes a great trainer. love the way he kept peterson focused especially when he snapped his head back up at before the 12th rd. he would do wonders for a lot of fighters including khan. what u guys says? btw i think roach i getting exposed as a trainer look at his recent fights with pacquaio and linares

its common knowlede that right now nobody would buy into a rematch between cotto and pacman id say he has to, in order: 1.defeat margarito properly in a final rematch to end the trilogy (ko or tony quits on his stool is acceptable) 2.defeat a dangerous and top 10 fighter at 154 (i.e. canelo or kirkland, martinez can fight him at 154 too) OR fight floyd mayweather and at LEAST look good. i know asking him to beat mayweather is too much and highly unlikely lol doing that should restore his name back to what it was and most importantly allow top rank to sell a rematch between him and pacquaio. agree?

Facts 1.the tko was due to assist from manny pacquaio 2.The tko would not have happened without the assist from manny pacquaio 3.Cotto was running 4.The doctor stopped the fight. Tony was ready to keep going. 5.He couldnt KO a blind man or make him take a knee like he did in the 1st fight. 6.Cotto was getting busted up. his face was showing it. 7.I wouldnt want to win like that in front of my peoples. 8.The only way he could really avenge that loss is to defeat tony in devestating fashion. I dont see it as the big win, and the ny rican fans shouldnt be so happy about their man winning on a technicality.

first of all i dont like margacheato, but the fact is that is that cotto beat the version of margarito with a handicap, and its still not clear if he could beat the ``clean`, pre-eye surgery margarito. the real margarito. the one who went 12 rounds w pacquaio and even beat him up some too. im not so sure cotto couldve one without the eye handicap on margarito so can we really say it was a loss avenged, or did cotto just kick a man who was already down..... think about it......holla back.....

Lol I know the general opinion is that marg doesnt deseve a good legacy and even hof entry lol, but for the sake of discussion what would he need to do and in what order to secure his legacy and even get into the HOF??

I say Amir Khan makes the most sense right now financially. he's already a star to some degree and the buildup would be tremendous. probably the next best fight that will make the most money for him.

I was always curious about this as far as do they consider him a cheater, a disgrace to mexico, or a brave warrior who fights to the end? wanted to know from the source.
