Lmao @ Gregory Leon

[FIGHTING_FLIP]

i use to read that mailbag **** boxing talk do but not anymore. that dude is out of his mind.

We all know what Smith is about, he's never going to be marketable, he's never going to be a world class contender. He had a good showing in his last fight upsetting a guy who can't fight, why hold him back from tough challenges when it's no secret that he has a ceiling on his future already?

Cash him out is much more productive than having him run up a meaningless win streak on the West ******ia circuit.

Like Leon or not, you have to admit that putting Barrett and Smith in with the opponents he has in the last two fights was pretty smart. He knew what most knew, that those guys were garbage and exploited that.

Because of the publicity he got, Leon may ultimately be judged by the success he has with Allan Green.

I only read Doug Fischer's mailbag, very knowledgeable in boxing and old school hip hop. There's just a much friendlier vibe going on there.

I always read those too. That's where I found out about the divorce between his site and this one.

LOL so did I and I work for this site.

Divorce? If they were sister sites, did that make the merger ******?

LOL @ Ishe "I couldn't even win the contender" Smith beating Miguel Cotto. In what world?

Leon is just trying to live the American Dream because he knows good and damn well Ishe will get RUINED by Cotto.

AN email from a fan to g. leon.. on him trying to push ishe smith vs cotto..

Ishe beats Cotto because styles make fights? What kind of cliché is that? Would that be the same “style” that has recorded 2 Ko’s in the last five years! Last time I checked Miguel Cotto was a touch better than Carlos De La Cruz and Oscar Gonzalez. That is the most ridiculous prognostication I have ever read. That fight would go off at -10,000 Cotto. That advice will land Ishe in the hospital and a guaranteed retirement party. I pray that fight never happens. Cut bait- I’d be shocked if he lands on Friday night fights and a 10k payday.

Leon's Response: Ishe has a chance to beat Cotto because styles make fights. Cotto isn't going to have the easiest time finding him and if Ishe counters effectively when he makes Cotto miss, he's very capable of outboxing him. That fight would land Ishe more money than he's ever made before while getting him one step closer to a title shot. Taking the fight would be a no brainer, I'm not sure the Cotto people will accept, but I am sure that the Bobfather and I have spoken about it more than once so we'll find out.


*****************
this mother ****er attacks again... he thinks he knows more than anyone... with his ****ty consultant group

its not so crazy to say that ishe has a chance, however small that chance is.

leon is just trying to get fights for the guys who pays for his advice. everything he says about the fighters he advises should be taken with a grain of salt.

The best chance for someone like him to beat Cotto would be in his next fight, in case Cotto is still shell shocked or lacking in confidence. I'd expect Arum to find a reliable but beatable Mexican welter like Delvin Rodriguez or Soto-Karass to fill that role instead. The one thing Ishe has going for him in getting this fight is his utter lack of punching power.

Did Hassine Cherifi deserve a payday with Tito Trinidad?

If HBO will accept it, he deserves it enough I guess.

u beat me there...

end of thread!

At the end of the day, fighters coming off losses aren't trying to fight guys with the best of credentials. Smith fits that bill because he's not dangerous but has been on TV before.

I just think HBO will be hesitant after Smith stunk up the joint against Sechew Powell last time they had him on.
