      They roasting yaks and drinking gypsy tears on your bandwagon.
      So you finally admitted you just support american fighters and hate on fighters from other countries. My work is done here.

      Me on the other hand love all REAL fighters from all countries, all nationalities all race. Im an objective boxing fan, thats why.

        The fact that you actually believe this to be the case is what is most amusing about you.

            guilty of it.....no big deal to me, it just proves that intangibles that eye test alone cannot see aint enough to judge what a fighter is made of.....

            so that pharse "skills pay the bills" is about 30% or so accurate

              You have spent your posting career hyping up floyd for fighting c class fighters.

                Williams is a f.u.c.k.i.n.g normal boxer, nothing special on him.

                  Spence is a perfect example of an over-hyped fighter. Beats an old Bundu and Algieri and all of a sudden he's proclaimed the man to beat at Welterweight.

I think we as boxing fans get a little to damn excited after fights. Sure at 26 this is a fight he had to win and a i applaud him for it and will say he is on the right path. But is he fights Canelo next i see it being a brutal night for him. There are levels in this sport and Canelo is an Elite well crafted fighter and Charlo seems to be a couple levels below. I wish the young man much success but lets stop hyping these damn kids up so fast and let them grow as fighters
                    Like I always say, there are fight fans and fighter fans. You're a fighter fan and most of the people on here are too. Williams was receiving hype because thats all fighter fans do.

                    As a fight fan, I kept saying Charlo would win. Thats not to hype Charlo either, he has done well but he still needs a true world class win. It's sad that he refuses to fight both Lara and possibly Andrade.
