Comments Thread For: Shaw Sounds Off On Schaefer Over Angulo vs. Lara

[trufightfanatic]

JMM is classes above barrera and morales no disrespect to them they are good boxers but JMM out of the two on his prime he was the better boxer overall, but hold on it don't surprise me you think more famous boxers are better last time i checked fame don't make boxers.

JMM always wanted a fight with the best nobody wanted him because it was such high risk little reward JMM was always in the shadows of barrera and morales but look at his accomplishments they are great. I mean this is the guy that was on his 30's and gave pacquiao the boxing lessons of his life what does that tell you?? Beating khan would give him a 4th title and still khan is not an easy fight for JMM because of his weight and age remember he didn't looked good at 147 maybe when JMM test the waters 140 and if he feels good and beats khan then he will go for bradley or either retire. I don't have a problem JMM fighting khan instead of bradley since JMM is unproven at 140 so pretty obvious when you go to a new division youre not going to try it out with the best boxer in that division is pretty common sense specially when the other boxer don't bring money.

I have a problem with pacquiao supposedly the best fighter in the worl don't want to face bradley a serious threath that i do have a problem specially pacquiao is already proven at 140 and 147 but let me guess if he was to fight him he probably would of requested bradley to ballon up to 147.

great post, you make a lot of great points

But, who was his promoter when Oscar was fighting everyone? Bob Arum... A lot of people **** on Arum and say he protects his fighters... But, that is a misconceptions he does have the best matchmaker in the business with Bruce Trampler. But, they don't really baby fighters like a lot of people make it out to seem... Golden boy on the other hand just don't know how to move young fighters...

Could not agree more... Can't wait for an Angulo vs Kirkland matchup....it should happen early next year. I see angulo figthing and beating JULIO, SERGIY, and Paul Williams this year...

GBP wants to match Lara tough against Angulo.

But you guys are ****ting all over that idea. So I take it you would prefer that Lara gets matched up against soft touches, just like Arum is doing with Juanma?

Which is it?

[Iceta Lives]

I don't think Shaw can accuse GBP of protecting Lara in particular even though he has a point about 140.

[lopez36]

he can't be serious,what would angulo gain in fighting someone with very few fights?.if angulo beats him what would people say? lara wasn't ready,etc...waste of time for angulo fighting lara,it's a step back instead of going forward after cintron lost

LIKE I SAID IN THE PAST...RICHARD SCHAEFFER IS A DUMBASS WHEN IT COMES TO BOXING. GOLDEN BOY SHOULD CHANGE THEIR NAME TO HYPOCRITE PROMOTION, CAUSE THAT'S WHAT SCHAEFFER IS, AND NOW OSCAR IS STARTIN TO LOOK LIKE one. Oscar...is confused, he defends GAYWEATHER who has trash him in public for years, then he accuses PACQUIAO of doping, when PAC has respected and idolize him for YEARS. GO SHANE MOSLEY..GOD BLESS...hope Mosley pulls this one out.

Angulo Knocked out Harry Joe Yorgey and now he's too famous to fight Lara? I don't think so. I think Lara can upset his apple cart and somebody is making excuses. If the Money is right and you're as good as Angulo is supposed to be, you make the fight.

[BadNewz]

Angulo has no talent. Once he stops fighting bums and steps up to a world class athlete like Lara, Kirkland, or Williams, he will be dominated.

The problem with GBP, is that they are trying to take over boxing and become the "UFC" of the sport. They almost pulled it off with HBO's backing.

You can see what they do. They will try to maneuver a fighter to get a belt, then only defend that belt against other in house fighters. If the fighter becomes marketable along with it, they will definitely keep it in house if they can.

Other promoters do that also, but GBP seems to be getting more and more difficult and protective over their stock.

We now see big 2nd tier promoters like Shaw and Dibella running towards Arum to make fights and getting them done. GBP on the other hand seems to be becoming an almost offshoot of the rest of the sport.
