What does RingSide have to say or real boxing commentators.

By the way if Pacman is the best why doesnt he fight better fighter than David Diaz, HAtton.

ever heard of a tuneup?

give it a rest already. look at his fights the last few years. he sandwiches good , solid fighters in between big names and champs.

it's not like he's fighting tomato cans two straight fights in a row.

when he fought velazquez it was in between fights with morales. same for larios. solis was his tuneup before fighting barrera and marquez.

a wbc lightweight champion is a hell of a tuneup!

The ring mag has David Diaz ranked 2 at lightweight. and Hatton 1st at junior welter. How much better of a fighter you want him to fight?? Mayweather??

[Left Hook Tua]

Its calzaghe at no.1

if you say so......

hopkins and eubank are not better than barrera and morales.

wins over kessler and lacy are not better than wins over ledwaba and larios or even velazquez amd solis.

sorry.
