Ring Rust-living PROOF

[Queen_Leia]

Kelly Pavlik and Kermit Cintron...This year they faced opponents that THEY should have removed from the equation. Now I'm not saying that there opponents are garbage but both "opponents" got way more offense then they would have if the house fighter were fighting actively.

Pavlik was off 11 month and Cintron 14 month before they returned to the ring.

Now this bring me to Money, who will be off 16 months before his return to the ring.

No disrespect to Pavlik or Cintron opponents, but they are not Victor Ortiiz....


two question..

1. Do you think ring rust affected Cintron and Pavlik?

2. Will ring rust affect Money on Sept 17th?

I don't think I've ever seen the kind of ring rust cintron had yesterday....I mean he is an excellent boxer but could not land a single right hand and has lost his fighters mentality

Pavlik was coming off a serious addiction and simply a bad place in life

Floyd will be fine

[Holmes]

naw dont think so. floyd is always training. pavlik drinks like there is no tommorow and cintron probably the same and arent always in shape

Ring Rust exist. Now, the question is which Ring Rust does Duckweather have:

- Old age
- Lack of fights
- Decrease in speed
- Inability to throw combinations...

The list goes on....

Which are all the reason to watch Duckweather vs Ortiz, can't wait for the summabich to lose.

Duckweather? Isn't he undefeated? The guy in your sig has two losses.

Cintron is not good enough for me to say that he should definitely win against Molina. Him & Jermaine Taylor are the 2 most uncoordinated fighters of all time

Seems like WISHFUL THINKING FROM SOME lol but yes of course it is POSSIBLE, with Mayweather even if he is Rusty most fans probably won't be able to tell, sadly a Rusty Mayweather would probably still be better then most

but at the same time I don't remember Cintron or Pavlik ever really being SKILLED FIGHTERS, both pretty much depend on their POWER and both have been out-boxed before, not sure any version of Cintron beats Molina just like I don't think any version of Palvik would beat Martinez or Hopkins

Molina is just RELENTLESS, he keeps the pressure coming and he has a damn good chin, more credit should go to him more then to Cintron's "RUSTINESS"

True...sometimes having a true skill set can off-set the ring rust..but you have to be a special fighter.

Molina and Lara should rematch...now it holds so much weight. JCC beat Molina, that says a lot about Cintron...possibly ring rust

[BostonGuy]

The words "Floyd" and "rust" should never be uttered in the same sentence. Mayweather has always been on the top of his game until proven otherwise...
