Hernandez quit on his stool before he fought afford so facing a fighter who just quit on his stool is taking a big risk really

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

Floyd spoke on Oscar outside the ring and ignored every point Oscar made about him in the ring. This is a tactic you use when you got no defense so you attack the person personally instead of the points they made. Oscar could trash this fool with all his drama and negativity outside the ring Floyd spent time in jail not Oscar. Floyd has beaten multiple different women and has half a dozen documented accusations/arrests for domestic violence. He's a serial woman beater. Floyd was named and involved in a shooting at a family roller skating rink that he ordered. Oscar didn't bring up any of that. Instead he kept to boxing and made nothing but valid points. Points that many boxing hall of famers, fans, ect have all said. But Floyd don't want to talk about those points because he has no defense. Oscar won this battle.

Can you read? He doesn't need to respond to a crackhead who retired on his stool and been knocked out by body shot

paper titles?? lol you do know Floyd has more LINEAL titles then Oscar right?

also more over all title defenses and defeated more champions and titlist

You talking like youCould you beat Hernandez at 21lol you keyboard nerds are funny.

[Teetotaler]

No.

He is saying, "How can you say I cherrypicked when you said all these guys can and WILL beat me?"

Floyd didn't say that he just said "you fed all your guys to me". Also of course Oscar would say his fighter would win. He is a Promoter, he has too sell the fight and back his fighter up. Have you ever seen a promoter of any fighter go "yeah my guy has no chance against his opponent, its best if you guys don't purchase or watch the fight"?

I agree with pretty much everything he said here except for the part where he says that if canelo and cotto were his fighters they would be bigger. there is zero evidence to suggest that would be true.

Why would Oscar give him these guys if he didn't think they could win? I she being disingenuous? Is he lying to the public to make money? I thought Oscar condemned Floyd for being all about the money? Hypocrite.

How many people did he give "the blueprint" to?

He is a promoter, but he is going against exactly what he did. If Floyd is so boring, the worst era in boxing, then why did you promote his fights?

Dude Oscar was accused of raping an under aged girl for crying out loud, he also has cheated on his wife and had kids on the side which he ignores

And floyd was CONVICTED of beating a woman. Let me know when 3 and 4 more women accuse oscar like have accused floyd. These are celebs and they get wrongfully accused all the time which is why most in boxing ignored the first acusation of abuse for floyd. But fast forward 3 and 4 more times and a actual conviction amd jail sentence you cant brush these aside. And it's 2015 I and the rest of the country could care less about cheating and having kids with other women. This aint the 1920s where marriage is held up to this high standard. Fact is Floyds closet has many skeletons and it was low hanging fruit Oscar could easily trash him based on all of it. Oscar kept it boxing and Floyd took it there because he doesn't want to talk about that.

Oh give me a break you a world champ ? I boxed in my youth so I'm far from a keyboard warrior does that qualify me as a poster? But none the less let's stop acting like Floyd was a big risk taker now !

Okay your right he shouldn't have let Lemieux fight GGG right after getting the title but that would go against his the best should fight the best theory. And make him look like a hypocrite. People wanted that fight to see if someone can finally test GGG, he tried but failed horribly. It's not like there's a long list of guys wanting to fight GGG. He deserves some credit for at least stepping up to fight him.

Simple Oscar got him paid and exposure for David. You make it sound like Lemieux is a total scrub. He beats at least 5 of the Top 10 middleweight out there. He's still only 25.

Okay but Oscar has continued to get Canelo paid and he's still in great fights.

Oscar isn't going away. He and Bernard Hopkins have put on good fights this year and have matched their main attractions tough. Both deserve credit and are going to be promoter of the year.

A promoter's job is to get his fighter the highest reward possible and avoid high risk low reward kinds of fights, just like that Lemieux vs GGG fight, anybody who knows anything about boxing already knew Lemieux didn't have more than a puncher's chance in this fight, if you're gonna put your fighter in a fight you know he can't win at least make sure it sells more than 97k especially when he's one of your top guys, like I said had they done the right things the fight could've easily made 250k+ next year and Lemieux would've got even more exposure due to the fight being watched by more people and due to him defending his title in the US beforehand a couple of times in front of American crowds. That's ABC promotion!

Canelo is a guy that was built up right and that's mainly due to 2 things: first is the fact that he's the only good mexican fighter that's out there that can fight on the elite level, secondly because he was built up right since Schäfer was there, I don't see the genius marketing moves that Oscar did to Canelo to make him a bigger star, they're just lucky to have the most loyal fanbase in the sport that actually love boxing and consider it a top sport.

If anyone deserves credit it's the fighters especially Lemieux who was fed to GGG while making quarter of what he could've made had they waited till next summer, Oscar is desperate since his crew is very small now and he's looking under his feet and not thinking long term, which makes him a bad promoter for the fighter.
