Lampley and Merchent say that Pep, Whitaker, and Jones Jr. ******

[Benny Leonard]

OK, maybe they did not say that, but what do you think Lampley was trying to imply when he talked about how Oscar took "risks", instead of racking up Win after Win like Mayweather, Whitaker, and Jones Jr.?

Is he saying they took easy fights or fought it safe?

If so, Pep is in this category as well. What is Willie's Knockout's percentage?

By this standard as well, Pep's new nickname is Willie "I'm a *****" Pep.


I like how Merchent did not want to see a rematch and was giving Oscar other choices instead of fighting Floyd again. He was undercutting Floyd or in other words, helping Oscar low-ball Floyd if they do have a rematch by trying to say that Floyd is not important.


THIS IS WHY FLOYD SAID HE WANTS TO FIGHT TITO. FLOYD IS SAYING, I DO NOT NEED OSCAR EITHER, I AM GOING TO TAKE HIS MONEY, HIS "W" OVER TITO, AND OSCAR CAN GO **** HIMSELF.

......Yeah, I agree with Larry for the most part. What was your point again??

Aren't calzaghe and jones jr on the same boat for not taking risks? Who did jones jr beat? Only two known names that I know of Hopkins and Toney but other then that he fought a fireman, police officer, and a construction worker... Though the construction worker beat him!!!

Same with Calzaghe, who the **** did he beat? Jeff Lacy... Chris Eubank... And who else???

Elite,

Jones dominated Toney back when JT was P4P. And he soundly beat B-Hop.

How many current or recent fighters have dominated two sure-fire HoFers? Hopkins, maybe? But Hop beat blown up WW's.

Roy dominated guys who were his size or bigger.

I snicker to myself whenever anyone criticizes RJJ's resume.

Jeff Lacy was a huge risk.

Are you new to boxing? One minute you back a fighter, the next you hate him.. I'd say observe alot more before making a decision.

[EliteSoldier]

Just because I like how calzaghe fights, he fights amazingly great offensively doesn't mean I like the opponents he fought. I guess you can give him omar sheika if you want aswell. 3 opponents for Calzaghe that I'll notice a bit I guess. Since besides sheika's not so beautiful record he is a tough fighter to fight.

[Left2body]

Larry Merchant and Lampley have it out for PBF. They usually show favoritisim towards a fighter but this is really unprecedented. They give PBF NO credit.

You guys should watch the DLH vs Hopkins fight and see how much they talk about weight. Also observe there commentary on DLH fighting a smart fight.

DLH vs Hopkins is equal to PBF vs DLH and they just hate on PBF.

Elite,

Jones dominated Toney back when JT was P4P. And he soundly beat B-Hop.

7 rounds to 5 is not "soundly" beating anybody. Hopkins gave him a run for his money.

And the fact that hopkins is a million times better now, and wanted a rematch. But jones ran from it...
