Yeah, Winky isn't the most exciting fighter, but he stands right in front of you and has shown in fights against Taylor and Quartey that he will take the lead and throw alot more punches of late. Both those fights are potentially great fights IMO. The atmosphere of a DLH-Cotto fight would be absolutely insane. They would sell out Staples in 5 minutes and the place would be raucous.
    I can understand your point. However, I am not interested in seeing Oscar fight anymore.

    I love Winky and I think he is a great fighter. Very powerful, IMO. That is just me, though. To each his own, ya know?

      There is no such thing as running, its called boxing from the outside,

      What do you think about Ali, was he a runner? he didnt go toe to toe with Liston, he boxed his way in from the outside.

        His gloves, his ring, his weight, his purse and now his PACE!? Damn! Oscar should just pay a sparring partner to damn lose for him! Admit it.....Oscar should stick to promotions. He did not use his famous hook (for good reason). He did not cut off the ring and he did not WIN. As far as PBF's swollen eye.....**** I'll take a black eye for 20 million. Hell, I'll donate the eye for that kind of money.

          Please dont get me started with Ali, I am probably in the very very very minority here, but I have never been impressed with Ali

My idea of a good fighter is one that isnt afraid to mix it up with punches, but floyd has a look of fear in his face alot of the times when hes getting pressured. If Floyd fought like Roy jones Jr that kind of running I can get behind. and floyds mouth doesnt help situations either, he says he is the best, but to be the best you have to beat the best, and he hasnt even begun to scratch that surface
              Alright, you make sense now.
              I can easily understand why you feel that way, and will leave it at that.
              You apologised to the lady, and made some real arguments here, so you have my respect back.
              You are more reflected than you appeared at first, and that's good.

              Maybe you have brown eyes.

                Honestly, neither have I. Please everyone, beat me tomorrow about this. I have had a lot today.

                Why do I like Mayweather and not an Ali fan, I will explain tomorrow.

                  Hmmm, fair enough dude.

                  Well i call it boxing from the outside, which is a skill,

                  Anyone can slug it out, anyone can throw punches, doesnt mean anything, doesnt mean you are skilled,

                  Its the skill element of boxing which separates it from that other famous sport where two animals roll around in an octagon for a low pay check.

                    Oscar got hit with the counter straight right. That's why he abandoned that **** quick. Floyd was having none of that. lol
