The Goldenboy's first big loss

[potatoes]

Oscar De La Hoya and Bernard Hopkins are about to find out how risky it can be as a boxing promoter. They are about to make their first BIG loss. Going toe-to-toe against Cotto-Malignaggi in a PPV showdown makes no sense whatsoever and will only cost them millions of dollars. Neither Bernard Hopkins nor Antonio Tarver have a big fan base largely because they are boring in the ring. It doesn't matter how good they are, they fans don't like them. Quite honestly I would rather watch two up and coming young guys who are likely to put on a great show.

Tarver/Hopkins will out do Cotto/Malignaggi PPV buys most definently

[King Koyle]

Cotto versus Malignaggi will be the better fight.
But Hopkins/Tarver probadly will do better in buys.

Tarver v Hopkins will probably double cotto v paulie.

I'm going to be watching Hopkins/Tarver. Given the two, I think it is a pretty easy choice.

.....hmmmmm.....people around here like their boxers to be geriatric.

No I just like mine to be skilled.

No I just like mine to be skilled.

They maybe skilled but they are also REALLY lazy. That doesnt make for a good fight. Especially since Tarver constantly underachieves.

[Parody]

Both slow starters. Hopkins is considered a HUGE Underdog in this fight, but something tells me he might pull out a decision and retire (And I dont like Hopkins at all)

Cotto vs Paulie being a good fight? Yeah right, Cotto is going to literally break that kid in half. I much rather watch Tarver vs Hopkins.
