Comments Thread For: Weekend Review: Biggest Winners and Losers of 2017

Chocolotito Gonzalez got whopped!'

[Corelone]

I don't mind Loma, but this nut hugging is rediculous. It's not like Loma got paid the most money, or fought the toughest competition. 10-1, all where he was the favorite including the one he lost. I expect a lot more.

[Corelone]

We saw Rigo move up two divisions to fight Loma. Will Loma take such a challenge? Ramirez or Prograis sounds good.

Kovalev never went down or took a knee, so how did he quit? What a **** article. And to add that "most" believe he quit. Based on what exactly? The writer is trying to brainwash you by making something seem like a majority, consensus opinion when in fact the opposite is true. Most believe Ward benefited from a corrupt referee who awarded him a meaningless, fake "win" on a punch to the nuts. That's why Ward and the Nevada Commission should be the biggest losers on this list, because neither will ever shake that reputation after they jobbed Kovalev so clearly twice in a row, after also providing robbery wins/saves to the two Roc Nation fighters on the undercards, Maurice Hooker and Guillermo Rigondeaux. Michael Rosenthal please stop lying!

Jeff Horn has to be mentioned as one of the 'other 2017 winners'.
From no where, the former teacher was able to come into the limelight by defeating future hall of famer Manny Pacquiao.
The general boxing fans did not know him prior to his fight against Manny but he has shot into fame.

good point

you forgot the best part.....

" Golovkin waited his entire career for big fights and then fell short when he got them, struggling to beat Danny Jacobs and settling for a draw with Alvarez "

Agree on both counts, Horn made a name for himself(even if aided) and should get some nice purses, rigo made a name for himself(quitondeaux) and with no belt, nobody else will be eager to fight him for any money, toast.

And Spence? Going to England to take out Brook should count for something no? Breaking his other eye socket in the process?

[Redd Foxx]

It isn't the last punch. Look at this for example.

You dudes that think the genitals are way up there must be working with some sad hardware.

Anyway, article felt somewhat incomplete. No mention of Frampton going from FOTY to a guy trying to rebuild. Andre Ward having his best win ever and retiring on top. No Spence. No AJ.

The Loma parts were solid. Especially the last.

This is his legacy.

Mayweather biggest winner.
As usual. TBE. It's not even close.



Losers = manny, ggg, kov.

Agreed. $300 million big!
