    i find it funny that you consider Garcia top level! Who has he beat besides a washed up Morales(2x) and an old Judah? As for Crule hand luc, i think he's good but other than peterson and a couple of other low level guys he's btfu, he DID lose to both alexander and judah(i thought he won both and was robbed). There really is no difference tbh. If this rivalry didnt exist, we'd get all these guys fighting eachother. But go ahead and (d)ick ride one stable over the other. i'll enjoy all the shows/ppvs

        It took me awhile but I've become a big fan of Mares. He says and does the right thing in and out of the ring. Provodnikov will lose if they fight in Denver. He gasses easy and will suffocate if he fights in the mile high city. Arum confirms that it's a lot more to it why the best fighters don't fight each other. It's a slap in the face of the fans but it is what it is...

          Yea, Mares the nut-punching class act.

            I like GBP because I don't like Arum. I like Showtime because I can't stand listening to Jim Lampley and Max Kellerman. I like Showtime because they've had the better fights recently (Knockout Kings 2 card, Garcia-Judah, Matthysse-Peterson, some of the ShoBox cards, etc.) Paulie, Al Bernstein, and Moral Renello are G's compared to the old-timers on HBO. THAT'S MY PREFERENCE. I'm still gonna watch HBO cards (d0uche) but I ain't gonna enjoy them as much because I have to hear Jim Lampley crap on a fight.

            Mike Alvarado would get slaughtered by Garcia btw. He would get sacked by Zab Judah even. Provo***ov is still a one-dimensional ESPN fighter. GBP's stable is stacked from 140 to 154

              Notice how Arum gets angry when they ask him tough questions? That's the sign of a tyrannical personality.

              When Todd DuBoef takes over Top Rank I think he will be more agreeable and easier to make cross promotional fights with. That day can't come soon enough as far as I'm concerned.

                Garcia and Alvarado would be a great fight! However, I think Alvarado will fight Lucas first. Once Lucas has disposed of both, maybe we can see Mike and Danny in the ring.

                I got Mike in a late round tko.

                  Yes relax rigg RELAX. In fact the best thing you can do it to keep relaxing, slow your breathing,...slowwwee,...slowweeerr... and keep slowing more until you stop altogether. Stay like that for an hour, and if you can move around then I'll buy you a hamburger and poison.

                      Of course, lest I be misunderstood..... I made a typo. It should have been "IN" poison...

                      Somewhere, suddenly, I seem to have acquired a Bronx accent.....

                      Which reminds me that my All-time favourite comedians were Laurel and Hardy, and Oliver Hardy had a slight Southern Georgia accent which I always thought was a Bronx accent until he clarified it. American accents are certainly confusing. The hardest on my ears is The New England-Massachusetts nasal whine. Always sounds deliberately put-on. And the funniest is the Bronx.

                      I was introduced to a girl in Dublin who was talking about waking up in the morning with "the boids are so sweet on the sill", I laughed and said "yes, the boids and they go choip choip choip.." She agreed with me" and then I really started laughing in her face... She thought I was crazy, and glared at me through her glasses which made me laugh more. i thought it was a gag with her looking so serious. The girl whose guest she was, pulled me aside, with me laughing in her face like a idiot and whispered "that's the ways they talk over there she's from the Bronx'.

                      Weeelll..... I quickly "folded my tent and crept away..."
