It Could Be a Super Fight, But These Are Not Super Middleweights

[Wiley Hyena]

Anyone who saw the fight wouldn't say unless he is a hypocrite That was one-way beating from the beginning, yep... But nothing more. Glenn wasn't staggered or leaning on the ropes at the time of stoppage. I see nothing special in such TKO win. It was no more exceptional than Calzaghe's win over Lacy. Joe floored his foe at least.

So what are you saying? What is your point? Really. I'm not sure. If you'll just state it as simply and as straightforward as you can, I'm sure it will be better understood. Who knows, I might even agree with it?

Boxingscene.com’s Jake Donovan theorized, rather intelligently I thought for someone who writes for this site, that HBO was mad at Oscar de la Hoya and Golden Boy for taking the Marquez-Juarez fight, which had originally been scheduled for HBO, across the street after the postponement.

bwa haahaha

This man has found a way to my heart.

Good read.

He also says Marquez-Juarez is showtime PPV, which it isnt in case anyone was conserned

Also says the Tarver fight isn't a title fight and it's for Tarver's IBO belt...

If there was no supermiddleweights, these guys would fight at lhw at around 170 to 172 pounds and things wouldnt be any different. supermiddles are just shrunken down lhw's to get a little more advantage. calzaghe and kessler easily fit the frame as lhw's. I dont ask these kinds of rediculous questions though. To strictly come out and say 168's are lazy middleweights is very disrespectful in my mind. Its not calzaghe and kesslers fault that thers a division for their perfect weight. But these guys are not lazy middles, they are very talented and dedicated super middles.

Totally agree with this man. MK and JC are great fighters in a great division. The article in question REEKS of some twit with a chip on the shoulder ripping down a great class of fighters with some "hey, look at me" attention seeking bull****. Big fight coming up, everybody excited, one author needs a little spotlight time by spewing grossly exaggerated garbage about a great match up. Lazy middleweights? Give europeans a chance????? Totally out of touch with reality.

Potential maybe, but I the kind of fighters that Hearns and Leonard fought and beat are several levels above anyone Kessler can beat at this moment. I remember this kind of hype for Calzaghe-Lacy and Joe said he was going to beat Lacy easy and he did. He says that he will beat Kessler easy, what if he does? Does that make Kessler another overhyped fighter like Lacy? If you break down the records, an arguement can be made that Lacy had just as many good wins as Kessler. Kessler may have a slightly better resume based on his wins over Mundine and Andrade.

Also, Kessler has not been very active for a young fighter. Four fights since 2005 is not great. Calzaghe has had 5 in that time with dozens of injuries like his broken hand over and over again.

calzaghe has not said it be an easy fight. he said it be a 12 rounder

calzaghe has not said it be an easy fight. he said it be a 12 rounder

He said over and over that he would beat Kessler just like he did Lacy, that Kessler is overhyped by the media, just like Lacy.

There is NO WAY possible that you read the article that fast. Your comment came within a minute of the posting

But you don't deny that he's talking ****, do you?

Sure the in-between classes are a burden, but these are super supermiddleweights.

Ahh I gave iut a second read and it's not that bad, just disorganized. Katz, send me your **** before you turn it over to Rick and I'll tidy it up for you. Your article is like twenty-five unrelated posts

[JakeNDaBox]

So the great Michael Katz can take the time to pay me a compliment (a backhanded compliment, but a compliment nevertheless), but none of you sorry mutha****as can take the time to offer feedback of any kind to any of my stuff?

A sad day for the BScene board. A sad, sad day it is.
