  • ATG Call-Out/Challenge/"Fight Me" Moments?

    There have been many moments over the years where one fighter calls out another fighter (issues a challenge to fight), either it's face to face or it's in a video/podcast/radio interview.

    Like Shannon Briggs calling out Klitschko on video several times, the speed boat chase call-out I thought was epic - pretty much Hollywood movie material.

    We saw Amir Khan telling Bradley to his face to "grow some balls and fight", or telling Broner to fight him to his face as they square off nose to nose.

    There's David Haye at the post-fight press conf of Vitali vs Chisora calling out Vitali, only for Chisora to then attack him and for a fight to erupt between them. Or Junior Witter telling Ricky Hatton to his face that "I will destroy you".

    We can go all the way back to Ali and beyond... Drop some of your ATG call-outs...

    That Briggs speed boat moment and the way Wlad dropped LOOOL I like Wlad and Briggs is a fool but that was gold!

    Chisora and Haye at the post-fight presser built a nothing fight into a spectacle, brilliant marketing. Keeping on the whole Haye and marketing topic, the way he chased Wlad across a shopping center as Wlad was promoting a fight, was classic too.

    Gotta give a shout out to Ali hounding Liston for the title shot or calling Foreman out after the Norton destruction and even explaining to the assembled press how Foreman was only a 4 round fighter lol.

    And how about the almost call out between SRL and Hagler....SRL, being a prick at the time, calls the media and Hagler to a conference call, with a ring built in the center. Everyone expects it will be a call out to Hagler but instead, he just retires hahahaha. Classic.

            James Toney going off on Benn and Eubank over a television conference is probably one of the best.

            He just rips them with no remorse.

              Not to mention Brook then ducked Khan to fight Frankie Gavin of all people! lol

                How do you even justify that sentence from the troll perspective you post from?

                  You telling me he couldn't find a better opponent than Frankie Gavin? C'mon, he cherry picked an easy fight for a PPV pay day. Hardcore Brook fans should be livid that they have to pay for that fight. I mean I'm a Brook fan too and Gavin is the worst opponent he's fought in years, the quality of his opponents is progressively going DOWN. First Jo Jo Dan, now Gavin! What's going on?
