khans not even a middle easterner hes pakistani but yeah theres millions of pakistanis in the arab world it makes sense they would buy tickets and ppvs
Even Trout said he was suprised how big and strong Canelo was on fight night(and he weighed 10lb more than trout who himself would weigh around 10lb more than floyd is a much bigger taller guy than floyd), I dont think people will realise the size/mass difference until they see them in the ring together with canelos wing span probably being around double if not more than floyds wingspan
Cotto is now fighting for history, if he can reign at 160lb for more than 5 defenses and even step up to possibly win a soup title at 168 he goes down as a top10 atg in my book, he didnt win them all but he won nearly all of them(and he fought everybody). He has huge upside now, if he beat mayweather in the rematch with roach by his side, he might be able to crack top5
Exactly.
People seem to think how big Canelo is automatically makes him a huge puncher, but he couldn't even knock down Mosley, where as Pacquiao did, with Mosley stating at the post-fight conference that he has never felt that kind of power before and he was very hurt by the knockdown and shocked.
Make no mistake about it Canelo is one of the top10 if not 5 biggest punchers in the sport
The combination of speed, power, defense, strategy, inside and outside skills, head movement, consistency. One of the most punch perfect performance since Pacquaio raped delahoya

^ can someone copy and paste for me I can't seem to right click it for some reason.
Pacquaio knows what happens if theres a rematch, hardly anybody had him winning the last 3 rounds, rematch equals 12-0:boxing: Bradleys already figured him out
Ward obviously walks through foreman and Tyson on the same night he rapes Ali, RJJ, Calzaghe and spinks before dropping a couple of pounds to destroy hagler and Hopkins.
Damn that's a busy night but ward is the GOAT.
He did beat a weight drained Dawson after all, what more proof do you need?
Roy mightwins 1 or 2 rounds but theres not a shot in hell that Calzaghe wins even 1 round, those other guys are a different weight I meant best in 168 history
Pacquaio/Top Rank/ Freddie the Roach all know exactly what goes down if theres a rematch, why kill off Pacquaios career and put him in there with a bloke who's figured him out already and won the last 3-4 rounds handidly whilst injured, everybody can see the rape awaiting Pacquaio in a rematch and therefore there wont be 1
Some fighters get better from every experience and style of fight, hopkins is like this and froch is definatelly like this aswell, he learnt from dirrel that he neesd to start quicker, he learnt from the kessler fight you cant always walk down your opponent you need a plan B, The abraham fight gave him confidence in his boxing abillity and from the Ward fight taught him that he needs to A throw faster crisper punches and not look for the knockout in every punch, B to pump a consistent jab when theres no action or any confusion etc, and from the looks of it C To be slightly cuter and use more head movements, footwork etc, Carl is still a WIP and far from a finished goods to the optimum of his abillity he could become a really great fighter if he added the klitschko style 1,2(which hes built for but doesnt use) to his unpredictabillity and ever improving inside game

This is the last time imma speak on this and im gonna preach the gospel like it or not.People hate Floyd cause of their imperfections in life,they try to hate on the people he faced even tho IT IS A FACT HE HAS FACED THE #1 FIGHTER IN EVERY DIVISION HE HAS FOUGHT AT(AT 140 HATTON WAS CHAMP AND REFUSED TO FACE HIM,GATTI WAS THE #1 CONTENDER HENCE RANKED #1 BY THE RING LOOK IT UP I TELL NO LIE) You hate him because he has a loud mouth and flashes the money he has EARNED,did not rob anyone did not sell any dope,he sacrificed his body and worked hard for what he had.This man has defeated every champion that has been placed in front on him,every obstacle in his life he has faced and dealt with it.Are you upset because you let the obstacles in your life beat you down?are you upset that you have failed??well do something about it other then hate on Floyd,This guy is great because he worked for it and earned it,no 1 gave him sh1t.name me another fighter who won 8 titles(hell should be 9)in 5 divisions,3 lineal titles,all while remaining undefeated,go ahead i'll wait,out 0f 43 fights half of them have been title fights.You hate Floyd because in reality you hate yourself and your short comings,and now you will hate me for having the balls to tell you why you hate........
Now shut up and

How can anyone take you guys seriously when you talk like that, I hope you dont talk like that in real life
Unless you are completely in a day dream, Rios power is now a problem for Pacquiao. Once you get Knocked Out Cold, you are never the same; as I was saying with Roy Jones or if it was different Roy would still be atop and Pacquiao wouldn't be a thought in people's mind.
For now on, it is Feather Fisted Fighters for Pacquiao!
Nah I definatelly dont agree with this, Pacquaio can beat any fighter thats not a high level counter puncher with ease, doesnt matter how hard they hit, if they come forward with no skill trying to overpower Pacquaio, they are gonna get devastated
I think Pacquaio would beat him, he would use the gameplan he used against Margarito, in and out with not too much risk taking, that version of Pacquaio can beat anybody
I am almost 100% positive it will v Guerrero. DLH put Guerrero #10 on the p4p list.
Smart choice for Mayweather, Guerreros a guy he can/should beat if hes the same mayweather that fought Cotto, but at this point Canelo's is a little too much imo he would either stop Floyd or give him the worst beating of his life
Wierd how they get the whitest looking filipinos to be on TV, even Pacquaio married the whitest Filipino he could find because shes not even good looking and there are better looking girls then her but theres a hidden racism is most of the world, places like phillipines is one of the highest selling places of skin lightening black/cream even more than africans who light up their skin with the creams. Who said being white is better than any other colour
it's the triangle theory or the domino effect, you choose...
but after seeing marquez hurt pac in the 3rd round tho ...i give marquez a good chance
He hurt pac because pac went back in a straight line not an angle, also pac only covered the center of his face susceptable to hooks, when has cotto ever been in that situation, Cotto would move and be on the back foot with a stiff jab, Marquez doesnt have the speed of trout he would get dominated
I think they reach stardom too quickly. With certain fighters it is like their career path is already lined out for them as opposed to competing for the path to glory.
I think this the key, because of social media like facebook, youtube etc, fighters get really famous really really quickly these days, whereas before a guy would have to fight for years as a world champion before hes famous, now guys like Amir Khan are already international superstars by the end of the olympics, for guys like Brandon Rios etc you only need one fight and one decent knockout and straight away you become really famous, soon as your famous you must fight the best regardless if your ready or not. And this has become the key problem in boxing, Broners gonna fight a top worldclass guy in his next two fights a guy that can box on the backfoot with speed and a jab like Vazquez will beat him, not because hes better but because Broner is not yet experienced enough to deal with that kind of ring general style. The sport is dying a slow painful death imo
If floyd fought Martinez it would be at 160, If he thought he could beat Martinez weight is no issue and to be undisputed middleweight champ puts Floyd in Ray Robinson category, if he doesnt fight Martinez then he knew what the outcome would be
Not if - fact. Best win = Pascal. Lost one-sided to Ward.
Turned to the fight as well.
its not a fact what are you on about, his best win was Dirrel or Bute, certainly not Pascal
