I say in about 3 more years, Chavez Jr, will be #1. Even though Pacquio is the shit, Chavez is on the move!

Has this been posted here yet?

Chavez Jr is the equivilent of Bobby Hearns.

The guy has only fought bums, he only has a name because of his dad. I guess it’s not really his fault as Arum is shielding him. I can’t believe he had the cheek of requesting a fight with Pacquiao, I guess he wants his pay day lol. He would end up yet another mexican victim, especially if he had to cut weight to make the fight ( Isn’t he near middleweight).

Hatton’s problem is lack of head movement and not keeping his chin down. I speak to my dad about the fight, I feel that if he listened to Mayweather sr he would have got knocked out in the 8-9th round but my dad feels there would have been no difference in the time it took to get his ass beat.

yes it has. like 4 posts above you :wink:

just watched francois botha vs timo hoffmann fight. it was worse than i expected. :rofl:

lmfao (not the street fighter clip) http://www.youtube.com/user/pacfight

I got a pair in blue. Seen some good days when I was still boxing :(… Now it’s just collecting dust.

:rofl::rofl::rofl:

OMG the irony.

So, any of yall been keeping up with Fight Night Round 4? They have my fav Thomas the Hitman Hearns so thats an instant buy for me. It looks like its going to be a great boxing sim.

lol “same move everytime” good stuff. didn’t PBF knock him out with a right hook as well? same move everytime, indeed.

this shows that hatton has low ring intelligence. he basically had the blueprint on what manny was going to do, but couldn’t do shit about it.

Hatton overestimated his own abilities (being the so called bigger man, thinking he could wrestle manny like he did Kostya Tszyu) and unerestimated manny ( manny looked very good because oscar looked so bad).

I feel bad talking all this shit for hatton, but he was good for the sport. he had the greatest fanbase ever in boxing.

it seems fighters underestimates manny. he smiles, is humble and friendly, but to quote someone from the boxing boards," everyone has a plan until they get into the ring with the pac-man"

Today - Showtime - Oakland - Andre Ward vs. Edison Miranda. I’m planning to see this one live. its cheap and there’s plenty of tickets. just get them at the door. Andre Ward is the U.S. last gold medal winner in the Olympics (2004) and Edison Miranda comes to fight. This could be the coming out party for Ward. It shows how much boxing has declined that Andre Ward is unknown compared to past gold medal winners: de la Hoya, sugar ray leonard

Mayweather vs. Marquez tickets go on sale May 22

it’s evo weekend so why not attend a mega fight. I’m guessing the ticket prices will go similar to this:

50, 100, 150, 250, 300, 500, 750, 1000, 1500

Zab Judah vs. Mathew Hatton

damn, if this is true, Mathew is going to die

Lol, Zab Judah is going to Spank Mathew Hatton. I guess the fight is do or die Hatton jr they could have fought earlier but MHatton didn’t like the split in terms of money.

Also Stylistics, is Mayweather planning to use Zab Judah as a sparring partner? He’s going to be on Mayweather’s undercard right? Zab would be a good sparring partner for Manny both are southpaws with fast hand speed though Zab is more slick that Manny.

HIGHLY doubt.

Julio Caesar Chavez Jr. has only fought bums.

Nothing about him impresses me. To give him some credit, I guess he has good body punching.

Otherwise, he’s been highly shielded from fighting anybody that could knock his ass out.

Just Oscar De La Hoya making an extra buck, and exploiting the kids last name

Same move everytime. He sure will be sick of this indeed.

That thread personally made me laugh. It highlighted to me that Floyd will never get the props he deserves by some people.

Too much of this ‘‘dance monkey dance’’ shit.

haha so much truth in that thread, the gatti ones were the best.

Yeah.

The before and after shit. Before the fight he is a legitimate opponent who Floyd will not hurt. Gatti will KO Floyd etc.

Skip to today, people say Gatti was shot and don’t acknowledge him. Floyd handled him in that fight though as a commentator said during the fight ‘‘I can’t see how people didn’t see this happening’’.

I really hope the Floyd vs Pacquiao fight goes through ( though obviously he will have to get through Marquez). Unless Floyd is shot I don’t see him losing. The same pattern will be present, people saying how he is going to get knocked out and hyping up the attributes of their hope.

average fight fans dislike floyd bcuz they don’t like his style. fight commentators recognize his skill but dislike him bcuz it’s their job to legitimize the average fight fans’ opinion. listening to emmanuel stewart hate on floyd after he handled baldomir was laughable.

that seems the logical thing to do. Judah is one of the best southpaws this decade with a good resume: speed, power, former light welter/ undisputed welterweight champion. Perfect sparring sparring partner. From what I’ve read, Zab Judah signed with Mayweather promotions and Mayweather is co’ promoting the fight card with golden boy promotions. Floyd wants Zab on the undercard of his fight with Marquez. Good move. I woun’t mind seeing Zab Judah destroy Mathew Hatton, live.

( every fighter has a promotion company, like ever rapper has a record label)

Be on the look out for Andre Ward to shake things up in the super middleweight division. GFood champions in the super middleweight division and is one of the top divisions right now. especially when the rest of the top middleweights go up: Kelly Pavlik, Arthur Abraham.

Mikkel Kessler (41-1) WBA

Lucian Bute (24-0) IBF

Carl Froch (25-0) WBC

WBO - ???

another good american super middleweight prospect: Andre Dirrell (18-0) and Daniel Jacobs (16-0)

Ricky Hatton vs. Amir Khan. would Ricky risk his legacy? if he would to lose to a lesser fighter in Amir Khan. That would make him look really bad ( and talks of being overrated). I don’t think this fight should happen. But Ricky Hatton vs. Junior Witter would be okay.

hatton said he’s too embarassed to watch the fight. he hasnt seen the KO yet.
