This explains why Floyd ducked Khan, Prince Naseem Hamed, prime Pacquiao, Margarito, prime Cotto, prime Gatti, prime De La Hoya, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.Comment

Floyd tasted about 30% of Pacquaio's power from a torn rotator cuff punch and realized he never wants any part of a real fighter. Ever.Comment

Boxrec's mathematical rankings--while quite fallible in some aspects and therefore best considered as approximation--have Golovkin as #3 p4p, after Mayweather and Wlad. Khan is #15. Ward did some good work some years back, but injuries and his promotional problems kept him out of the ring and out of consideration for quite a while. He was damn good, but it's not clear if he can reclaim his old form (the odds are well against that he can, which doesn't mean that he can't).
Golovkin's resume is pretty good, and he is fighting a reigning titlist in his very next fight. It had ought to be a fight to look forward to. The odds makers though have it not even remotely close. Fury-Klitschko is a rather more pick-em fight, according to the bookies (though Klitschko is still an overwhelming favorite, just a bit off Golovkin is, by the bookie's figuring). Now, this may very well be because of Brits betting considerable cash on Fury and shifting the odds, as they are want to do. However, Golovkin has fought good fighters. He just blew through them all. There's nobody that is expected to even really test him at middleweight, and that includes the blown up welterweight who holds the 'lineal middleweight title', on account of beating an undersized middleweight in his own right, who was crippled and had been away from the ring for a long time; and the blown up jr. middleweight who's probably going to lift his 'lineal crown' soon.
Reminds me of this actually a little.

I just read Mike Tyson's autobiography.
He doesn't admit to steroids or anything, but he admits to regularly using a 'pisser' to not get popped for weed (could be a euphemism for something performance enhancing, in addition to weed, or it could not be. He says that the reason he got popped for weed in the Golota fight is the officials wanted him to piss before the fight and he said no, and then they made him piss immediately after the fight, before he could get his pisser on. The pisser is that tube that you use, in order to avoid piss tests. You use someone else's piss. Or maybe that was an excuse, and maybe they insisted on watching the piss come out of his d!ck. Just saying what he said.)
Do you think that drug cheating is something new?
Not saying Tyson did it (or that he didn't), but at the least, a very large plurality of top level athletes obviously use drugs to enhance performance. That stuff was all nonsense. Word is that Floyd was/is also a drug cheat.Comment
