He should have Ioka on his resume, but his team were smart to turn him down.
Only positive out of the negative is that they said out loud they weren't ready
Which fighter/team refused the fight??
My prediction:
26. 4
Lucas Matthysse vs. Henry Lundy
Keith Thurman vs. somebody not credible (nobody wants to fight him...)
3.5
Adrien Broner vs. John Molina
Amir Khan vs. Luis Collazo
Abner Mares vs. tune-up calibre
Proof? It's called being an insider. They'll announce it once Richard decides to announce it, which will likely be tomorrow. Cotto yet to sign the PPV contract, last minute numbers were being crunched, but the fight itself is set.
Lol, I think you are a little attention b_itch, who knows ****.
Lol @ mentioning that Murray is fighting Fletcher, but Golovkin fighting Adama gets a pass because "no one" wants to fight him. Move up to 168 and you will have a bunch of options that are more lucrative than anything at 160 besides Martinez.
Murray's losses to Martinez and Sturm are better than any win on Golovkin's resume :lol1:
lol you know that GGG is a natural middleweight. he should focus on his division.
oh I see you favor Murray over GGG? haha
Bradley Marquez Pac..That should be your order..
Pac beating the top 10 in the div is not a lock..Hell he loss to two of the top 10 already dude..
I suppose you are a very biased Bradley-Fan, if you think he beat Pac. :usa2:
Tell it to this guy..:alcoholic
You guys gave to much about the OFFICIAL (official:3 self-interested humans) decisions.
Everyone agrees that Pac beat Bradley.
Martinez declined a lot in his last fight. He could have lost that fight but the judges saved him. (dont say it was a robbery, but it could have gone either way)
And Murray is nothing special...
The official Rakhim ''The Machine'' Chakhkiev bandwagon thread.
All updates, predictions, latest news I will post here.
Do not count Rakhim out, this will be his year. Mark my words!
A loss is not the end of a fighter.
He looked superb against the highly durable Ilie and paced himself. He boxed more was trying new stuff and scored a devastating one punch K.O in the 10th
He is still only 30 (nothing for a cruiser) and has a bright future.
A few minor adjustments is all that is needed, he is an absolute monster!
Next fight; 15th march 2014, opponent TBA (Yo Rakhim, why you fighting Gary Russell Jr's leftovers? :lol1:)
Come on who is aboard The Rakhim express?
lol your boy gonna hit the canvas many times in his career
yes, he's talented
but he has a little lack in stamina, a chinny chin and no ring-generalship.
very bad attributes for a aggresive-style fighter...

funny thing is, the one is a big floyd-fan the other a big bradley-fan.
two boxer I really dont like.
that fact shows REEEAAAL quality of their posts.
Obviously you've missed the point..Must be your butt hurt blocking you vision..
Oh and BTW I like Pac as well as Bradley..
neither fan of Bradley or Pac. that about the butthurt
but to say Bradley beat Pac is very ignorant and shows the conformity with bull**** decisions. that's sad
What has Cotto done to earn this high-dollar fight? He lost to Mayweather and Tout... and is coming off a win against a Dominican scrub.
You have to look at it both ways.
Cotto vs. Canelo is a done deal. People need to stop arguing about it. Cotto is not going to wait until late Summer to fight Martinez when he can earn $10+ million now.
He cares more about his family than boxing politics. He's taking the money.
Lol yu are a joke.
Once you said, the fight is signed, schaefer will make a announcement in the coming days? that was about a week ago...
Once you said the fight is signed, you have insider infos
Now you say, the fight is a done deal, cux cotto has no other good options...:rofl:
now what? where are you re insider infos now :rofl:
THX guys. To include the fights, which I saw the best answers (in my opinion) were:
Arakawa - Figueroa
Mayweather - Cotto (very competitive fight...but you can make a hard case for 10-2... I had it 8-4)
Kessler - Froch 2 (Kessler with very good shots, but the most were just Froch rounds
Bradley - Marquez... was close but clear (no wide margin)
Hopkins - Wright... was just a close fight which could have gone either way
Canelo-Trout ... the scorecards were to wide. It should have been a victory for Canelo by 1-3 Points)
lol at the ignorant americans who think that the whooole world has to come to the US to defend their titles...
america isnt the only boxing market in the world
anyway: hope for garcia/uchiyama.... very big fight.
I would favor garcia heavily. Not because uchiyama isnt good, but garcia is such a great fighter.
Should he box and move around the ring since Canelo cant cut the ring off like he fought Margarito. Pressure like he did against guys like Quintana and Rodriguez where he comes at you with foot and body movement giving faints or should he just box behind his jab in the center of the ring and look to counter what Canelo throws at him?
lol youre acting like its a done deal.
cox a random guy on ************ wrote an articel whitout sources and a random boxrec editor fixed it...
its not a done deal.
i think cotto will fight martinez
Cotto is a warrior though, he fights like one inside the ring and acts like one outside of it when it comes to fighting ANYONE. Cotto has never made a SINGLE excuse to not fight someone. Cotto can fool around all he wants to with his best friend.
A ballerina dances ballet in circles like a softie ignoring everything around her. Not only did Sergio dance on TV but he is ducking Golovkin like a ballerina too, so don't even compare the manliness level of Cotto with someone like Sergio.
There re NO guranteed 10 Mio for fighting canelo.
The GBP offer was more like:
"Hey Cotto... fight canelo...(with PPV) you will do more than 10 Mio"
GBP to the press:
"We offered Cotto more than 10 Mio"
If anything people should root for Kirkland cuz Golovkin is being too much of a pu*sy to move to 168.
Hi treeboy,
it seems like you have the same IQ like your idol.
GGG is a natural 160 lbs champ.
He should stay in his weightclass!
Do you prefer fans calling you Kid or Peter or it doesn't matter?
Anyway how many pets you got now man, since you got a young baby around the house did you have to be careful with the type of pets you got now did you have to give some away or what?
Hi hectari,
Will Rios knock out Pacquiao with Jab and Algieri will outbox him?
have a good one
I dont think "loyal" is the right word. No matter how good your 7th grade teacher was, at some point you move on to 8th grade. Nothing wrong with a fighter looking for different things.......
yeah got yout point. I don't wanna criticise a coach-change.
Active fighters or those that have finished their careers?
doesn't matter
Mikey Garcia
James Kirkland
Demetrius Andrade
.... sould be in there.
In other years they would have been the frontrunner's....
My final pick is: Duckinson
