Fan since 82 Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 On 2/23/2020 at 9:46 PM, Down by the River said: Pretty much the status quo for any prize fighter is to keep them from fighting the top competition. They make so much money even against lesser opponents. Its not like the UFC where a few losses doesn't mean much on a fighter's record. For boxers, 2-3 losses really marks the end of their reign. That would change though if they actually did start fighting higher caliber competition on a regular basis. The fans want to see the best fighting the best, and in the long run are more discerning than the promoters give us credit for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Age wise, I don't want to see either fight anyone younger. Plus the Pacquiao excuse makers would get a second chance given their rivalry Edited April 28, 2020 by SILLY GOOSE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floyd has always been too precious about his '0' losses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One arm is an excuse. Floyd dominated Pacquiao and Manny is a sore loser. Point of boxing is to hit and not get hit.

Manny a sore loser? that's the first time i've heard that... ever. https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/12837213/manny-pacquiao-undergoes-surgery-torn-right-rotator-cuff Nevada also denied Pac for a numbing cream to freeze his injured shoulder. Froid got caught with a banned IV fluid before the fight and knew about Pac's rotator cuff injury and still wouldn't trade with him. https://www.si.com/boxing/2015/09/09/floyd-mayweather-illegal-iv-injection-manny-pacquiao Even with all that, it was a draw AT BEST. Other HOF boxers like Holyfield and Tyson didn't think Mayweather won. Floid never 'whipped' Pacquaio in that fight, in fact it was the opposite. the injured smaller Pac was chasing a healthy bigger Mayweather around the ring. don't even get me started with the compubox, it was rigged and was debunked already. Pac landed more shots that he was credited for. anyways... he's retired and hasn't been relevant since he paid a flyweight japanese kickboxer to take a dive in a joke exhibition 'fight' in Japan... meanwhile, Pac at 41 has a belt defeating an undefeated Thurman, and now has Crawford as a potential fight next (according to Arum).

Manny's own fault for not disclosing an injury. Can't make any excuses for him. Floyd won fairly easily from what I remember. I'll re watch it. Like I said, would love to see a rematch and what happens. Edited May 3, 2020 by SILLY GOOSE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tre Mac Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I enjoyed watching the Duran doc recently being shown on tv. I am sure it's old but man boxing was a different beast in the late 70's and 80's. I hope they make a doc on the 'four kings' of boxing in the 80's, hint hint ESPN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HI5 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Hope Teofimo drops the vastly overrated Lomochenko. Oscar throws Ryan Garcia to the wolves after Garcia disrespects him in the media. Luke Campbell will be a nice test for the kid. Fat man Gervontais Davis and Leo Santa Cruz match will be interesting. I like both guys, but Tank not as much as I used too, so I hope Santa Cruz humbles em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you feel Loma is overrated? i like Loma's skill set but i kinda agree.. he needs to be tested some more. his resume isn't great and some are calling him a p4p king and an ATG like has Pac and Mays resumes. a dominant performance against Lopez would be a great answer to the critics and would justify the praise, but as of right now i think he's a little overrated.

Down by the River Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 (edited) Timothy Bradley is God awful. The judges got it right but also didn't. Edited October 18, 2020 by Down by the River Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebreh Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Can we stop calling Loma a p4p "king" now. the guy faced his first real test and got dominated. Andre Ward and Bradley are Top Rank cheerleaders. Ward's card 114/114 LMAO!! What a performance by Lopez! I've never seen a multiple belt holder champion get dominated like that. Loma got walked, countered, bullied in that ring.. hopefully this humbles the Loma fans who think he's better than Mayweather and Pacquiao lol.
