He wants a tune up to get ready for Floyd?

[duffgun]

Cory Spinks would be a risky tune up fight

but doesn't he claim to be a warrior?

People fail to realize what the definition of a "tune-up" is. You don't fight THAT difficult of an opponent for a tune up because it is essentially getting you acclimated to a new weight, prepared for a bigger fight, or just to keep you sharp. It's not a big fight so why fight someone that would make it so difficult.

The tuneup is for no more reason than to help promotion. Its as simple as that. Oscar wants to fight a fighter he will look good against and hopefully knockout. It has nothing to do with trying to pit him against a style similar to Floyd, thats what sparring is for. We humans remember most the last thing we saw, Sugar Ray Leonard understood this concept as well as Oscar with their flurries at the end of rounds to try and steal them, so a knockout for Oscar looks appeasing to the eye. In order to try and get people to buy a second fight in which most, not me, deemed as boring, you have to lure them into thinking he has more of a chance this time.

yeah, its for promotion. cuz $200 million isn't enough money. plz, he loves boxing period. he cares more about legacy than any boxer out there and has been taking on the best since he was good enough to be allowed to. And he wants mayweather next. he is preparing himself the best way possible to beat mayweather. this way he is training to beat mayweather for 9 months instead of 4 months.

and corey spinks is garbage. the most garbage fighter boxing has ever seen. the taylor-spinks fight is the last spinks fight I will ever watch.

isn't that the same story he gave before losing his title (that he got from the hall of fame fighter mayorga) to a jr. welter.

yeah but a tune up should at least maintain an ounce of credability to it.
forbes is a past his prime, blown up light weight who didn't even have enough left to win the contender.

and watch, he will still give odh all he can handle...

oh god. can't argue with a clear out hater cuz logic takes a back seat. at this point I will state facts and you will state fantasy. I could basically say that he is fighting Joe Blow and you will say that he will handle dlh even though this boxer doesn't exist. c'mon man, have some honor in your arguments.

AND VICE VERSA, can't argue with a nut hanger.

how is there ANY credability in a tune up fight with forbes? forbes has only had 3 welter weight fights. all against UNRANKED FIGHTERS, one of which he lost. his last two fights were at jr welter against UNRANKED FIGHTERS. (proving that he was a blown up welter) one of which he lost and got a SD in the other.

forbes isn't even ranked himself. so why is a jr middle "warrior" fighting a fighter two weight classes below his who isn't even RANKED?


so now, go ahead, explain the logic to me, you nut hanging boxing sage,

IDK Maybe because it is a TUNE-UP BOUT.
