I had Canelo winning to Trout by 1 point. Close fight, could've gone either way.
Had Canelo loosing to Floyd by at least 10 rounds.
Had Lara winning by 1 point. Close fight, could've gone either way.

"Close fight's doesn't equal robbery"

Wanna know what a real robbery is?

Lara toying and punching Paul Williams like a punching bag all night, he got robbed that night.
Beltran knocking down Burns twice, and dominating him at least 10 rounds and loosing the fight.

That's what a real robbery is, if you don't like Canelo fine, but don't go out there screaming to everyone that because you don't like someone, nobody must like him. that's 100% BIAS talk

So does that make teddy atlas biased? hhmmm...

lol Hatton rocked Canelo?!

The only reason canelo ko'd hatton was cuz he hit him with a sucker punch when the ref was breaking them up.

Prime Cotto beats Canelo. This older version of Cotto gets beat by the younger lion.
Seems a lot of people are fooled by Cotto's performance against Sergio. Cotto got the job done, but he was fighting a 40 year old guy coming off a year layoff and two knee surgeries. Plus a guy that was a small MW to begin with. His knee gave out in that first round and he was never the same. The Martinez that fought Paul Williams would have KO'd Cotto early.

Cotto looses most of his big fights when it's the big show .gayweather,pac girl,trout,he got the w from Martinez couse there was no Martinez that was a crippled shot boxer.good luck with canelo going to be good can't wait.

styles makes fights.

[bigjavi973]

like my boyfriend says you are hating

???

:gay:

[icha]

styles makes fights.

a counter puncher is not the best style for cotto as shown in the trout fight...

[bigjavi973]

Wouldn't it be something if the commissions decided that he had to defend that title against another 160 champion...wouldn't that be something....that's apparently asking too much in this day and age of all business all the time.

"On June 3, 2014 The World Boxing Association has officially elevated middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (who at the time has ten successful title defenses since August 14, 2010) to the status of WBA (Super) Champion. Golovkin was also granted a special permission from the WBA to defend his title against Daniel Geale on HBO July 26. Golovkin had been previously ordered to face #2 Jarrod Fletcher."

So instead of the number 2 guy GGG fights the number 5 guy? Did GGG duck Fletcher?

We will agree to disagree. Who is the black/hip-hop community going to get behind after Floyd? Broner?

Ward is the best. He'll have the mystique of the unbeaten record, nobody's ever really tested him, etc. Floyd has proven that in itself has appeal when added to a big-mouth douchebag personna, which incidentally only worked after verbally undressing Oscar followed by spanking him in the ring.........

It would be pleasant surprise if he created even half of the same following with the US Golden Boy image, humble, not too flashy, etc. Push him as on a mission going to shut down the 'Russian Wrecking Machines' in both Golovkin and Kovalev........(I know, not technically Russian).......but you get the idea.....

If Golovkin continues at this pace, he'll have Tyson appeal and going against Ward would be similar to Trinidad vs Hopkins. Everyone will think GGG will go in and break him down except the hard core fans and those that have started watching Ward, who will then be the most capable fighter available........

They'll do a million if they age it and set it up properly. That's not a failure by any means. A lot will depend on timing and the promotion being set up properly.......but Arum is NOT in the way of that fight.

Golovkin is very capable of crossover stardom. Ward looks as good as ever.......so good he can't get a fight (mostly due to his dispute with his promoters).

But the same guy that directed Floyd early, (Prince), is also directing Ward at the moment. Floyd's personna was created before Haymon..........it just didn't gain traction until after the Oscar fight.

Good for Floyd. Very impressive what he's done.

But don't dismiss real talent because they're too good. There will always be a public demand for good boxing. And should they continue their ascent and eventually become the two best fighters in the world, more than just the Bradley vs Marquez audience will tune in.........I guarantee that.

"Nobody has tested him". What the hell are you smoking? Everybody is usually high and mighty about carl froch and ward made him look like an amateur.

a counter puncher is not the best style for cotto as shown in the trout fight...

again styles makes fights. The cotto that fought trout is not the same stylisticly as the old cotto and the cotto now with roach. Less jabs, more left hooks to the body, his money punch.
