The IBF sanctions Spinks/Mayweather

[El Jesus]

if this fight happens i would order it, because i order just about everything, im not that excited about it, id rather this fight not be happening, however, i take what i can get, fighters dont always do what you want them too, i want ricky hatton to fight mayweather, but it aint happening, i want arce to fight darchinyan, but it aint happening, sometimes you just have to keep on waiting.

my momma, cousin, sister or great uncle dont know who Spinks is.........oops i mean CORY spinks...

Yeah, because Margarito is sooo well known.

Seriously... I would contend more people know who Margarito is than Spinks. People may know the name Spnks but they're thinking of the guy who got KO'd by Tyson. Maybe Michael should have taken a page out of Cory's book and ran for 12 rounds.

I would have been okay with anything Mayweather did but this. It is like he is intentionally trying to piss off people who like boxing. Why fight this guy who has the least exciting style to hit boxing since John Ruiz? If he wanted to fight Baldomir fine (settle stuff at 147 by beating the real champ) or if he wanted to fight Margarito fine (beat a long reigning title holder who is a dangerous prospect). Fight DLH or Mosley or Rivera or Hatton or Cotto... pretty much anybody but this.

dumb. the point was he didnt want to fight Marg cuz he claimed he wanted house hold names..........


sounds more like he wanted an easy fight, what do you think?

im sorry, lets see margarito fill out arenas like spinks does when he fights in St Louis. Hometown or not, thats a rarity amongst black folks. you NEVER see that kind of support for most black fighters. and he aint got no power, and he still draws.

LOL...............

That's the only chance spinks will ever have run, run run.
.

Spinks is going to impose his size and boxing ability in this one.

Cory isn't going to run, but he is going to box and win a close, technical fight.

i can't wait for him to put on another show coming to the ring!!

i hope he pitty patters his way to victory! im going for Spinks just because Floyd would actually take this fight.

Honestly that is a ridiculous point. Anybody can sell out their own arena. Sergio Mora sells out the Staples Center... I certainly don't think that means top level fighters should fight him. Furthermore put Margarito in Tijuana and lets see what happend with the gate. I used to like Floyd but as a boxing fan this is inexcusable. He strung us all along for months promising a good fight and we get this.
