state of boxing looking as bad as the Oakland Raiders...

[4fifteenRolla]

anyone else not too happy about the upcoming fights? None of the high profile fights seem to be worth while, in terms of $$ to view and overall significance. Looks like winter is going to be a sleeper for Boxing fans. Where is the solid new talent? Where n the hell are consistant heavyweight fighters?

 

[ESCOBAR 92113]

heavywieght division has been down for quite awhile....there is some talent at other weight levels though....

Morales vs Pacquio this weekend right?

 

[Rumpelstiltskin]

I'm looking forward to Taylor vs Ouma

It was nice to see Brock hit the mat with his face this weekend.

 

[2-0-NINE]

LMAO! At the Title of the thread!

 

[4fifteenRolla]

imma rate everything in comparison to how bad the raiders are

 

[BigE916WRM]

I am down on Boxing for its coruption, but whats new there. There are some great fighters out there right now some in their twilight. RJJ,Hopkins,Oscar,Mosley,Mayweather,Morales,MAB,Winky, Holyfield are all Hall of Famers. This weekend should be a good fight to watch. As for the new blood out there, Cotto and Taylor both are solid.

Exactly, MMA is cutting in on Boxing in a big way. I know I would almost watch MMA over Boxing everytime now.

That super slow-mo reply they kept showing after the fight was the shit!

Good post...I'm definitely excited about these matches.



I hope that Margarito gets his bell rung by Clottey. They're both toe-to-toe fighters, so I'm hoping it'll be a slugfest. Margartio talks so much shit about Mayweather, but honestly Floyd is way too fast for him, and will box circles around him.

Margarito is way overrated IMO.

so why does mayweather avoid him ?..as far as the speed thing,remember he was also faster then castillo and many thought castillo won their first fight.

 

[MOREBASS]

^ True that...I don't know though...I've heard Floyd's people say that the risk outweighs the benifits...but one of the benifits would be earning the title as the UNDISPUTED champ of the world...


So I don't get it either...

I would love to see that fight though...

 

[surcaliman]

he cant go around claiming to be the p4p best fighter when he hasnt fought the best in his division..margarito,cotto,cintron.

man castilo won that first fight hands down floyd fought with a fucked right hand but castilo maintain the action in the later rounds

 

[heyzel]

I agree with you on that who has floyd fought to be p4p list I guess gatti & juda but anyway I would love to see like a year from now paul williams & floyd hook up but it will never happen

 

[Rumpelstiltskin]

Floyd has trouble with anyone who stays busy. People are always trying to pick their shots and catch him. If you stay busy with him he is on pure defense.

Castillo stayed busy and won the first fight. Victoriano Sosa did pretty well until he got tired in the late rounds. Margarito and Hatton both stay extremely busy and I strongly believe they would beat him.

That's enough PBF hating for me tonight...
