The USA "GETTING RAN OUT OF BOXING" Debt clock and counting.

QUOTE=ShoulderRoll
Shawn Porter will run Kell Brook out of the ring if they fight. Another young gun from America on the rise.



... Well, great predictions -- I should say...

actually if you look at my thread pre fight(thats been moved to the overall kellbrook porter thread reevaluated my prediction and said kell brook would win.

Lace dup posted on the thread so you lost that one mate...

In fact there's a global drawback in the sport... Due to various causes: less money (less sponsors), the danger of eliminating boxing from the Olympics, and so on...
It is true that, in the near past, the U.S. pro-boxing environment had to face a significant "alien" competition -- with the Klitschko brothers, Pacquiao some South Americans (such as Martinez), Cubans (i.e. Rigondeaux, Lara, etc), and some Western Europeans or Russians... But this "alien" competition doesn't provide too many "prospects" to date (see Froch, Kessler, Abraham, Golovkin, Kovalev, etc)...
Therefore, I'd think about a business/market crisis within the U.S. environment, rather than a talents' crisis...

Brook looked impressive Saturday and I thought totally outclassed Porter. We'll see if he can continue with Thurman. I remind you that both are a level or 2 below Tim Bradley, who is a level under Floyd.

Lets not get ahead of ourselves.

Thurman would put their lights out given half a chance.

The 3 best fighters in the world are Mayweather,Ward and Rigo

Two of those are American

You sir,are an absolute retard that knows nothing about boxing

I wouldn't call Tim Bradley a level above Thurman.

I wouldn't call Tim Bradley a level above Thurman.

I'm not sure how you can argue against it. At least not right now.

Saying someone is a level above someone else has nothing, at least that's not what I read from it, to do with resume.

Because in that department, of course Bradley ices Thurman. Bradley is a seasoned champion who's 30 or 31 and Thurman is an up-and-comer looking to kick the door down.

If we're talking about those two matching up against each other in the near future, which is what I got from it, I wouldn't see Bradley as a level above Thurman. Especially when I look at how Bradley dealt with Provodnikov who I see as very inferior to Thurman.

i dont think they are the 3 best fighters in the world, i think wlad is better p4p than all 3 and is statistically more dominat than all 3. How is Rigo better than wlad???

Ward has not fought over a year and his last two oppents have been non fights, where as wlad has fought poventkin, thompson, haye, and some mandatories and has pulev soon.

So no way is ward better tha wlad...
