"That squared circle is the best thing that can ever happen to a fighter. If you're born with it, the squared circle is what saves you from everything.

I really like that quote.

Oscar is right. Mosley does sound hurt. First he said his kneck
was stiff and then he says no excuses? He is still in shock.

[komandante]

How about dela Hoya v Hatton titled 'Back to the Square Ring'

[amayseng]

True that.. Delaquitter is a joke.. Lets bash Pacman on PED accusations that still to this day have no evidence

but lets not bash Floyd for his domestic violence and Hatton caught on tape doing Coke..

Oscar your a joke..

dlh is a quitter? how many boxing fights have you had?

how many times have you stepped in the ring?

what have you accomplished? exactly


the dude is saying these guys need help we should look to them in that perspective instead of bash them in negative fashion.

look at valero. no one wants to see another tragedy in boxing.

of course floyd is a douche, but he needs help

and so does hatton, especially because he is a decent guy

of course he is hurt. he lost to an inferior person.

and he lost in general

fighters or people who dont care to lose in life have problems

i know floyd is your "jesus" but you should be happy there are warriors

like shane mosley who fight the best

what relevance is a man's opinion about a fighter and his experience in fighting? the same way a citizen criticises a politician, he doesn't need to be a politician to do that, does he? we, the audience, ultimately are responsible for the wealth boxers accumulate. and criticism coming from us is part of the game. chill out!

so you have to be a politician to criticize a politcian? or do you have to be

at least educated to make a critical remark?

do i ever want to see a man quit on his stool? especially for the last fight

of his career? of course not.

dlh was being pummeled at a drained weight for 8 rounds

did you want him to go on?

seriously, did you?

does that make him a quitter? at age 35, 10 years past his prime? at 144 lbs? being smashed without a chance by the best fighter of the last 10 years?

im asking, did you want him to continue fighting?


opinions are welcome but have some dignity. these guys have done what many keyboard tough guys never have, step in a ring, let alone fought the best in the entire world.

Hey......

GOOD POST! There are a lot of idiots on here who HATE on my boy for no reason. Truth is, HOYA is a hall of famer and respected among LEGENDS like WHITAKER, CHAVEZ, HAGLER, LEONARD(his idol), HEARNS, and even DURAN because he did one thing........He fought the best of his era. He ducked noone. Some of these idiots seem to forget how good he really was. the only reason why MAY won their encounter, was because HOYA only had 8 solid rounds in him, and 700million in the bank. That version of him couldn't even move!!! Or bounce! What you think a primed OSCAR would have done? He would have out-pointed MAY. He would have K.O.ed MANNY! Wait! That fight wouldn't have happened when HOYA hadsomething left. ROACH even said THAT! Dude who said HOYA is a joke needs to S.T.F.U.! I bet you he couldn't WHOOP him! HOYA would F him up like he did SHAQ!!! hahahaha!

Let's Bash Pac coz Floyd Sr. said he's on PEDS.

Let's refrain from bashing Hatton and Mayweather there's no proof that they did it.
