Rungvisai - Hope he is Not the Next Pacquiao!

[augustboy]

rooting for rungvisai he stole my heart in the 1st choc fight, and made me fall in love all over again in the 2nd fight

Yet Barrera was never called P4P #1

Different ages.

And González never was the #1. No way.

When he was called #1 their best rivals were a drained Estrada (went to 108 pounds), Cuadras that really won the fight and Niida.

An old Viloria with 35 years...

Really?

Barrera won in better fashion to Morales and Hamed.

Only a very idiot fan can compare both fighters.

I said he moved to welterweight and things got sour.......

well thats your opinion. he beat cotto and bradley there and had 2 fights with his greatest rival as well. and lets not forget the biggest fight of all time happened there...pac vs horn.

but you also said hbo gave him the hype machine treatment, but he just had a bunch of epic exciting fights with barrera, morales, and marquez. why wouldn't you hype him? usually the opposite happens. they were trying to create stars with unproven guys. pac proves himself over and over and they shouldnt hype him?

they called him p4p #1 and you are offended? roy jones had been ko'd a bunch so its not like there was a clear favorite. hopkins was steady but not amazing. floyd was fighting guys like phllip ndou, corley, bruesels, gatti, and sharmba during that period so he wasnt being a real boxer. pac was just as good as anyone and rungvisa will be tooi if he beats estrada.

Good post.

The only hype job was Roman González that never was the real #1

For the record I'm picking Rung over Estrada because to me Estrada is slow, plodding, and predictable....that's a bad style to have against Rungvisai!

And I'm not saying Manny was overhyped, I'm saying HBO needs a new star which can cause over hype, for instance as some of you pointed out, Gonzales should of never been p4p #1, that was almost 100% generated by HBO hype!

When Pac moved to welterweight his fan base became crazy, misguided, and oblivious...once you start claiming Pac could beat Floyd that's when you loss your way.

I'm starting to become a big fan of Rungvisai. I don't think HBO will give him the hype treatment. In fact they'll probably root against him each time.

HBO (specifically Lampley) definitely have their favorite fighters. It's cringeworthy how they fawn over them. They made it seem like Rungvisai stole the first fight from Chocolatito when it was pretty obvious he won the fight. If it wasn't for HBO questioning it, half the people wouldn't have a problem with the win.

yes anyone who picks against floyd is crazy... we never even saw the fight(when it mattered) just because some people thought pac would win doesnt take away from his accomplishments. he still beat prime bradley, and one loss cotto there. floyds win over pac is sandwhiched between pac being ko'd cold and pac losing to jeff horn...not good.

his other ww resume consists of old mosley, baldomir, and guys like ortiz and guerrero. not impressive. also mr. clean accurate punches barely landed anything clean against pac. i thought he was going to be a sitting duck but it was pac landing all the clean shots with floyd just grazing him. i chock that up to floyd being old like i said before cause a 38 year old vs a 36 year old recently ko'd cold fighter is not a match up for the ages

you are still mad at people for simply choosing against your guy in a fantasy fight even though we never saw the fight. is that fantasy anger? or wait is this like a calzaghe-jones thing where calzaghe fans pretend he was always better cause he beat jones? dont be in that camp

Just enjoy the fights and the truth will eventually be shown, everyone's story starts somewhere

there is no truth in boxing. its almost entirely a subjective sport. you have some people saying floyd is the best ever even though others think his resume is weak as hell. others think eric crumble is the best. what is the truth???
