Cotto nearly got sparked in his retirement fight.

He was my dog. Always brought the drama. Pre-Margarita he was a force for sure.
Happens to the best of them. Unless it's a true bum "retirement fights" so often go sour since the fighter already has a foot out the door and you can't be anything less than 100% commited when it comes to boxing.

Great career though, hall of fame for sure.

Anywho... with a great win from Crawford earlier this year to unify all titles, to Loma embarrassing one of the greatest boxers of all time, why are people so offended if they have either one of those fighters 1 or 2 on the p4p list? You can have either or at #1 and there shouldn't be a problem, right? but I've noticed that race has become a huge issue in debating who is #1. I'm starting to hate a lot of these youtube boxing journalists because they kiss way too much ass and use race as an excuse if Crawford is not #1. And then there is the fact that PBC still holds back a lot of their fighters and still have a lil bit of a post war syndrome with HBO. And the most recent topic which sparked a huge buzz on social media was Dan Rafael comments on Loma would give hell to Floyd if not defeat him at 130. why is that such a big deal? It's an opinion just like a p4p list. Why is he racist for just saying that? And this whole #newmedia bullshit going on with these "boxing journalists" is just stupid. If you guys care to respond man cuz I'm trying to bring life back to this bitch

2017 was a great fuckin year for boxing---the best fighting the best....or an mma fighter...or an Australian....


I don't post on other boxing forums for the same reasons you mentioned. But I saw a topic---Who had the biggest fall from Grace: Kovalev, Chocolatito, or Rigondeaux ? what you think?
