I like margarito, high volume puncher, great chin, legendary stamina, but he just lacks everything that I find in Paul Williams. Thats the fight I want to see but margarito is looking for the payday and I guess the punisher just cant generate numbers. I dont fault margarito at all though I just hope after getting what he wants he gives back to the sport and fans and give us what we want.
I dont think the hatton pacquiao match would be good for boxing. I say that based on the fight hatton had with Mayweather. Manny is similar in the categories of strength and speed. Although, i never saw the fight against Paulie, i know hatton won but what changed from the floyd fight to that fight? to me he is a easy target to hit, no head movement, hands below his chin and he walks forward thats a punchers dream!
I think we have a few of them now that may fill the shoes, some up and coming others their name is known amongst the elite. We have margarito of course, cotto who i do not think can be counted out, the punisher paul williams, chad dawson, my favorite, I think the next few years of boxing will be solid. Hopefully these names and others can lift the sport back to where it belongs.
Yea i will agree with that one pistol. Nothing in margarito shows he will drop at this stage in his career, although cotto was the smaller fighter he landed crushing shots against tony. The dude has a chin of granite ur gonna need bricks in ur hand just to chip it.
I just became a Punisher fan. I ve heard much about him but never saw him fight till recently. He is 6 1 and a lefty what more needs to be said? More skills than margarito in my opinion and just as if not more dangerous. Im a fan. Id like to see him get up to light heavyweight and go at it with Chad Dawson.
Thanks Ace, I definitely haven't stopped sparring and thats probably the problem Im not giving it a chance to heal. But I got a match coming up Sept. 6th so I gotta work ya know. However, thanks for the advice, I ll probably get it looked at after the bout.
I like Jermaine but I didn't have him winning the Pavlik fight and thats how it turned out. He seems too nervous, maybe that works for him but he doesn't look calm in there or he didn't his past two fights. Going against a smart fighter like Roy Jr. not the brightest idea. He picked Tito apart, just picking his shots waiting for tito to make a mistake. It'd happen the same way with Jermaine. I rather see Jermaine and Tito go at it. Although either fight a be good for the sport.
Its exciting press but like someone has mentioned on here until someone from mayweathers camp confirms the talk, I ll keep waiting for thenext fighter to bring the sport to new heights. It would be the perfect stage set if manny and hatton fight manny comes out on top then the super fight btwn manny and floyd wud maybe be more than a rumor, or i hope.
I am enraged at this news. I dont see how Tarver, although exercising his rematch clause, even deserves another shot. I rather see Paul williams step up in weight and come at Chad. I think that would be interesting, but not a huge payday for Dawson... I can dream though.
