The Boxing Thread

I like andrew tabiti but havent been following him lately is he still undefeated?

he was training with mayweather sr and had KOed everyone hed faced (at the time i think he was like 7-0? not sure) hes not getting alot of hype that i see

I’m still the only dude in this thread who’s dedicated any amount of

Ward doesn’t want the fight right now, nobody else at his weight wants to fight. He wants to beat names and nobody is stepping up. How is it his fault?

Floyd is, or should I say was, a superb technical boxer. Incredible body positioning, footwork, a great jab, punching precision. However he handpicked his opponents, rather than fighting the best competition when they were in their prime. He also abused the clinch (though he isn’t the only boxer to do that) in a way not intended in the sport of boxing.

I think he is respected but people have a tough time ranking him as one of the all time greats because of those qualities. The best fought the best of their time. The general public also generally despise fighters who always go for points rather than finishing their opponents.

no mention of cotto being stripped of a title the same way floyd was?

you dont really believe that do you

You’re right, he’s just fighting for less money because he wants to wallow in boxing and never get a huge payday.

You’re an idiot if you think he doesn’t want a payday at this point and he’s doing it any way possible.

Ain’t nobody trying to pay the WBO man… Out of all the fucked up sanctioning bodies and shady stuff in boxing, the WBO is cream of the crop

Man thats insane. Im just blown away. Hes supposed to make 30 million this fight. Whats 300k for glory? Especially if he wins… But actually i get it. Even if he wins, then hes gonna fight triple G. He might fight triple G anyways who will have the title regardless… Am i crazy in thinking this way?

I mean you dont really think ward is ducking GGG? Ward has already said hed fight him lol and golovkins team turned down a fight offer

He’s always been pretty stingy if you really think about it. Thats such a legit point lol

No, GGG gave the offer when Ward came back. Ward’s team said they wanted a warm up fight first. Ward’s team is ultimately who signs. I’m sure Ward does want the fight and so does Golovkin, but they aren’t signing the papers until their camps come to a deal with the promoter.

GGG’s camp is not in power here. Ward’s camp has more offers.

I am a huge Ward fan and I’m neutral on GGG.

Because I’m gonna be on the road I can’t guarantee I’ll say this so:

The salt gonna be incredibly real if Canelo wins. Still mad he lost to Trout. Some random Las Cruces nigga? Only reason I’m scared for this fight.

I’m looking forward to Canelo Cotto this weekend, but having a hard time finding a bar around here that’s showing it. Most sports bars apparently don’t want to pony up for ppv.

Yea, it’s alot more expensive to show boxing than it is ufc. Hooters usually has the fights though, I would check there

Im rooting for canelo but cotto was my boy. Not gonna lie i feel like a race traitor cheering canelo on but whatevs. I like both boxers so whoever wins ill be happy tbh

If I ever hear you say boricua imma slap your ass down Sentinel Frying Pan style. SMH.

LMFAO i dont really care about my “puerto rican” heritage i hate the way most PRs act anyways.

I loved cotto before margarito ruined him.

Canelo is an exciting young boxer and ive enjoyed watching his career bloom

Im cheering for Cotto all the way.

To be fair, PRs from the island hate how newyoricans act. Aint nobody loving those coons.

My heart is with my Puerto Rican homies…but my brain is saying “Bet the house on the Mexican!”
