    Adrian Broner is the goods, and will toy with Maidana.

    I want to see Sergio Mora fight again.

    I like David Haye.

    Oscar De La Hoya was a ****ing badass in his prime and you haters can **** off.

    Morales > Barrera

    I think Margarito was caught loading his gloves and deserves a lot of the hate he gets, but at the same time there is absolutely no evidence he cheated in his win over Cotto and get tired of butthurt fans saying that loss is completely illegitimate. It was a great fight, shut up.

    I want to see Tarver fight again.

    I want to see Josh Clottey fight again.

    I really, profoundly do not care if Pacquiao or Mayweather fight and I do not think that either of them are to blame for the fight not happening. If Pac had really wanted it, he would have done what was necessary to make it happen, and If Floyd had really wanted it, he would have done what was necessary to make it happen. It just didn't happen due to all the bull**** in boxing.

    I don't pay too much attention to what goes on below lightweight.

    he got ko'd and clearly lost to trout so that's at least 2 right there. even his last fight was a very iffy decision.

    pac was the one who kept meeting floyd's demands and floyd kept changing them. what was pac supposed to do? how can you say it's both their faults. floyd didn't agree to pac's demands only for pac to change them over and over again. makes no sense. just admit it was floyd even if you are a fan.

      Yep. Agree there also to some degree. Or at least I never allowed myself to join the lynch mob that embarrassed the sport and themselves during that fiasco. Keith Kizer made it emphatically clear there was no evidence whatsoever and little to no chance at all Margarito could have used a cast against Cotto. If people really wanted to get inside the situation and understand why Team Margarito would have used concrete wraps against an indestructible fighter like Shane Mosley and not someone else they should read a book or two on physics. A horse shoe wouldn't have knocked Shane Mosley out. Cotto... Different story. **** that conversation though. Nobody should have ever had it.

        I'm afraid that garcia might actually beat matthysse and I will have to give him respect.

          Martinez has more left, he rushed his comeback and will look better when he comes back.

          Sergio Martinez beats Gennady Golovokin.

          Lucas Matthysse could beat Floyd, I couldn't pick him, but I'd give him a 45-55 shot of winning.

          Cotto can beat Trout at 154.

          Cotto against Marquez is the best next fight for both guys.

          Andre Ward is the P4P #1 fighter in the sport. He beats everyone at 160, 168, and 175 right now.

          Rigondeaux is top 5 P4P figher right now.

            first thing is just hilarious

            didn't that fight happen and didn't trout win pretty easily? i mean maybe if someone f-uks up trouts eye, arum pays off the commission so trout can fight, and the fight is stopped 3 rounds early then cotto has a chance

              If 7 round to 5 is "easy" then yeah, I guess Trout won "easily". Those official cards were a joke.

              How is it hilarious? He looked great against Macklin, if he looks like that against Murray too, then I'll probably recant that opinion.

              Also there is thread claiming Calzaghe and Mayweather Jr. have the top 2 ATG resumes. I'm concerned, why aren't you there?

                Roy jones until he killed himself maiking 175 after he beat ruiz was the best fighter that ever lived, no one beat up apponents more impressivly.

                The prime Pac that beat Cotto up would have beat up mayweather, proberly why the fight never happend at the time.

                Canelo has a very good shot at beating mayweather.

                Amir kahn has the brain of a ant

                Danny garcia is a extremly dangerous fighter that is one of the best hookers in the buisnes right now.

                Prime oscar de la hoya, prime shane mosley> prime maywether

                odlanire solis was not koed by vitaly, he injuryed his knee

                GGG wops everyone around his weightclass, martinez is a dead man walking at the moment

                  Maidana beat Morales fair and square. Just because Morales didnt get killed in a few rounds they pretended what they wanted to see that old Morales was back.

                  Hopkins beat Calzaghe.

                  Judah is probably one of the greatest gate keepers of all time

                  Kirkland, Lara, Cotto, Martinez, GGG, Paul Williams would have all knocked Canelo out.

                  Pernell Whitaker is easily one of the top 5 fighters of all time.

                  Miguel Cotto is the most exciting but for some reason hated on fighter in all of boxing. Never has been in a boring fight yet people always want to call him a shot bum since the Pac loss even though he gave Floyd the most damage hes ever recieved in a fight.

                  Bernard Hopkins is a top 3 middleweight of all time.

                  Marquez is the greatest mexican fighter ever and would have knocked Morales out

                  Lennox Lewis was boring as hell and would have been KOd by Prime Tyson and Foreman

                    That's only an unpopular opinion in Wales. Hopkins clearly won that fight and Dan Rafael, Kevin Iole, the Associated press and the BBC, among others, all agree.

                      Totally forgot about the existence of the Feliciano fight, he beat Theophane, Hlatshwayo, and Jackiewicz in my opinion though.
