    Have vs Wlad

    Haye vs Valuev

    Bowe vs Gonzalez

    Haye is the GOAT of this.

    Some idiots will surely brand Mayweather. :roll:

    How dare you insult the Hayemaker twice in one post.

    Kevin Johnson against Vitali
    Jeff Lacy against Calzaghe (Lacy is actually a real nice guy)

    Polish national hero Rafał Jackiewicz was all talk before his matchup with slick star Kell Brook but failed to deliver.

    Pardon me, lemme make it crystal;

    -Floyd: "step up punk", "easy work"
    -A certain blown up lightweight "steps" up.
    -Floyd: "Umm uh....(insert new excuse here)"

    = A fighter who talks alot a **** against certain fighter with no apparent intention of ever fighting that certain fighter.

    Mayweather loves to trash talk, but he never talked about going to war and brutally knocking guys out and so on. When he fought Mosley, he said 'you don't gotta worry about me boxing and moving'. He said he'd stand in front of Shane, and take the fight to him, that's exactly what he did. He took a couple of good shots in the process, and kept on coming.

    :good :deal

    He didn't exactly tuck tail against Ortiz, either. (but watch some idiots come in and claim that he was shying away from engagement by covering up against the ropes when Ortiz flurried to the body. :roll: :lol:)

    Who was it that most recently adopted the "I'm willing to actually DIE IN THERE to win!" cliche - only to lose, in somewhat lackluster fashion (without actually dying in there)? :think

    Someone did in just the last couple of years.

    Vanes deserves the description "All bark no bite" more than anyone because unlike Haye, et. al. he refuses to get in the ring with anyone decent.
