The old " he's a better fighter theory"...doesnt hold water.

[THE REED]

I agree..

lol u didnt get what he said


the better fighter ON THE NIGHT OF THE FIGHT..... wins.....


which is an obvious statement

[Dirk Diggler UK]

I agree with this. Thats why it annoys me when people say "Mayweather is better than Hatton, so the referee doesnt matter".

But I knew Mayweather was better than Hatton before the fight. Hell Tszyu was better than Hatton. But that doesnt mean that Ricky couldnt have had the night of his life and pulled off the upset. Of course Cortez snuffed out any chance of that.

But I agree totally with what you're saying.

Styles make fights. A lotta good fighters get beaten by guys that aren't as talented as they are, but have some other edge over them. It's part of what makes boxing so great; the more highly skilled guy don't always win.

Also. highly skilled doesnt always mean you're "better"..

this is the fight business.. you can have more heart or have ring smarts that arent so pretty but effective.

Looks like Joey enjoys penetrating old anuses.

Sitting on your wins doesn't cut it and it doesn't guarantee you can't get ktfo in your next fight. He dares compare himself to Robinson and I bet some of you here are even foolish enough to accept it. He's created such a myth of invincibility that he doesn't need to fight for people to accept him as better than anyone he'll face. He's won before even siging a contract.
All he really has to do to sustain his status is to fuel the public's praise by putting on an excellent performance every couple of years and he's back on top for a couple more. Quite franlkly it's marketing ingenuity.

Mayweather is an exceptionally talented fighter, hell he is undefeated! I do think that of late he has become complacent with his boxing career and might not have the determination and drive he did a few years ago. If that IS the case then he should let someone who IS serious about taking on ALL the best fighters in the division take the torch while he goes on to wrestle or promote or whatever. Keeping his ardent fans hanging on to watch him fight less than the best and still try to convince everyone he is still the dominant champion is not worthy of someone who has been labeled pound for pound the best fighter. If you are a professional boxer then you box and if you are the best then you fight the best. Leave no questions unanswered.

lies

I said Tarver lost to Harding so, no. RJJ is the better fighter

you were saying how Floyd would beat Cotto..just "because"..

at this point and time Tarver is better then Roy. if they fought Tarver would win..

Looks like Joey enjoys penetrating old anuses.

Looks like Bernard enjoys being penetrated. He did spend a while in prison.

Co-sign. That's why I pick Tony over Cotto. Sometimes it's better to be tough than good.
