Gary Russell Junior - is that dude ever going to fight a live body again after getting completely outclassed by a guy with a 1-1 pro record? The kid fought "TBA's" his whole career until he finally stepped up.
He got reporters to stop asking him about Lomachenko.
Clearly holding the belt hostage.
Lamont Peterson fails a drug test (like a lot of American athletes) and gets to keep his title.....even after he gets KTFO
Hostage.
Deontay Wilder is fighting who next? Already making excuses to try to get out of a Povetkin mandatory lol - Hostage
Should I go on? The examples seem endless. The only time they seem to step up is when they're forced by tough mandatories like Brook-Porter and DeGale-Dirrell. Or they give up their belts like Quillin

Scouting report based on fights I've seen, scale of 1-10:
Offense: how many punches fired off per round
Defense: does he block punches with his face?
Power: one-punch KO potential
Speed: typically quicker on the draw?
Movement: ability to escape cut offs and avoid opponent's strong hand
Chin: does he have a glass jaw?
Machismo: a boxer's "bark" before the fight, at the weigh in, during and after the fight. How far does he go to impose an air of invincibility on the opponent, as if he's facing Godzilla ?
Robert "The Ghost" Guerrero
Offense-10
Defense-6
Power-6
Speed-5
Movement-5
Chin-7
Machismo-5 (10 with Ruben Guerrero included
)
Prediction: Guerrero UD over Aron MartinezComment

That's what it says on his profile at Ring. Still a Haymon/American based fighter and holding the belt hostage by fighting factory workers.
Either way you're getting rained on like a fat bird in a hailstorm in this thread. I'd log off for coverLast edited by Dirk Diggler UK; 06-05-2015, 02:18 PM.Comment

PBC have had some good matchup in recent weeks but those three fights certainly stink pretty bad.
Thurman is the WBA World/Regular Welterweight Champion. Collazo isn't ranked in the top 15 with the WBA and I don't think he is ranked by any of the other sanctioning bodies. Look out for Collazo to be mysteriously ranked by the WBA by the end of this or next month.
Garcia is, as far as i'm aware as it stands, still the WBA Super and WBC Light Welterweight Champion, he hasn't defended either belt for coming up to 15 months. Malignaggi is unranked by all sancitoning bodies, mainly because he hasn't fought in over a year in a fight where he was brutally stopped and suffered a pretty bad concussion.
Wilder's opponent is at least ranked at the moment, at a heady 9th with the WBC and unranked with the other three bodies. Molina's ranking is certainly very questionable. As soft first defences go this is about as soft as it gets.Comment

I couldn't care less about Quigg.
That reminds me, what about Daniel "I beat cancer so I don't have to fight anyone" Jacobs. He holds the same ****ty version of the WBA title as Scott Quigg but says he's not ready to fight GGG
Is he not "holding the belt hostage"?
Frampton has signed to Al Haymon and will probably fight in America next to chase your man, Leo.
Holding the belt hostage doe!Comment

not sure how leo is my boy now.. Oh because hes "american" to youi couldn't care less about quigg.

Holding the belt hostage doe!
Jacobs has only defended the belt once.. As has frampton so he gets a little break, but hes still scared to death of rigo, everyone knows leo sucks. Youre excited for that fight some reason
and just like you dont care about quigg i dont care about jacobs, still the fact remains hes a brit terrified of the real champComment

If they each fight 3 times a year I expect the middle bout (this one) to be soft. I will reserve judgement until the matchups after this one.Comment
