I think boxing just learned a valuable lesson

Did anyone hear Oscar saying at the end of the Khan fight that "Khan has a lot of options" and he doesn't need to chase anyone when he was asked about the Khan-Bradley possibility? I hope they make Khan-Bradley for July 23

no ****in way bro! manny is a proven future HOF veteran. all the guys that lost were fairly young or up and comers (meaning they didn't really hit their prime yet or weren't as popular as they couldve been). this awkward trend doesn't relate to manny cause he is proven and more experienced. trust me, i love upsets, but it isn't happening with manny. dude is on top of his game.

Make the big fights people want when they want them. So somebody doesn't get stopped in a "build up" fight

honestly we lost out a lot of good fights because mofos keep on trying to milk the pot... while that biitch wifebeater is just too ****in scared to step in the ring with pac

This is especially true with a fight like Gamboa/Lopez. They are featherweights FFS and there are is no golden goose to chase in that weight class (Pacquiao/Mayweather/DLH types, talking mega-money). If you looked at Bob Arum's quotes regarding a possible Lopez-Gamboa fight, he basically **** on real boxing fans and said he was going to wait until mainstream American sports fans were also demanding the fight. How can a boxing promoter be so clueless about this business??? Neither of these guys is on the radar of the typical American sports fan, and neither of them has any hope of being on the radar.

As for Berto... while it sucks for the fans to see a "champion" take on stiff after stiff, he cashed some huge checks while doing so, so his promoter clearly made the proper "business" decisions.

I agree.

What Kirkland, Berto, JuanMa, and Lemieux all have in common is that they have horrific defense and are easy to hit cleanly. They ranged from being completely un-tested to having a pretty good resume, but Manny is a HOFer!
