boxing has needed something like this where the best of the division fight each other instead of mandatory challenges by sanctioning bodies against second rate fighters.
hopefully 'the cobra' will bring it home but if not kessler
cant wait
sick of al this haye was running how did dirrell not win the fight when he used same tactics. Who on this forum would honestly stand and trade with a 7 foot 23 stone man? haye used tactics to stay out of range of valuevs jab so he couldnt set up the right had.
valuev was made to look slow. Boxing isnt about rushing in and tearing people apart its about ring craft using your skills to your advantage in order to get that W. TOO MANY ARMCHAIR CRITICS WHO JUST WANT TO SEE A TEAR-UP AND NOT A BOXING MATCH.
For a foreign fighter to go over to germany and get the decision against valuev is an achievement in its self whether its a title fight or not. Valuev should have lost to holyfield but the decision lies with the judges that's boxing.
As for the comparison to dirrell, looking at it through british specs i wanted froch to win but had the decision with dirrell, maybe if he clinched and winged less he might have got the nod.
Americans. what the like constantly going on about british boxers because they dont have any real home grown prospects or fighters to talk about and the ones they do have end up getting slagged of for whatever reason (mayweather etc).
As for the corruption in boxing, i find it comical that the brits take that title when don king is promoting valuev and is still promoting fights for that matter. Did anyone else think he looked a bit senile sitting ringside with a goofy grin holding flags of about 30 different countries? Thought he was on day release personally.
i understand am not one for trash talking and reading to much into pre-fight events so lets see a great fight and may the best fighter win.
lets hope its ricky haha
whats with all this making excuses for hatton if he looses!!
its only the americans who seem to have an issue with hattons weight not the brits on this forum. IF hatton looses to pac then fair enough at the end of the day pac man is a class act and no other factors would come into play other than pac was better on the night.
one question
what will all these americans say if a "weight-drained" hatton ko's pac-man?
am sure the americans will have NO exuses.
COME ON RICKY!
Khan wont take Witter because Witter would whoop that ass up and down the ring. If Witter was a guy who would stand there in his shell and let Khan throw harmless combos at him then Khan would have a bigger chance. Since Witter isn't that guy, I dont see Khan beating Witter or anyone with a killer instinct.
witter with a killer instinct haha you must be joking. he has never had such thing throughout his career and for years lived of hattons name untill he faced a more hungry fighter in bradley for his wbc title and lets not forget witter was knocked down in the 6th round so those who think that witter has a strong chin you must be joking when he was knocked down by feather fist bradley who has only 11 ko's to his name. at the end of the day hatton would of beat witter and i also feel that khan could beat witter thats if he gets past DA. A fight with junior witter is a step backwards for most fighters trying to make it big i.e and is definately a step backwards for established world champions who have fights with floyd jr in their sights i.e hatton.
As for those who think hatton v witter was a fight wanted by the british fans. what a load of rubbish he was and still is largely disliked amongst british boxing fans for his attitude.
