    Quillin would be tougher than Lee, Golovkin would walk through Lee similar to Geale.

    Petey can at least punch hard and quick enough to make it a fight.

    I made a thread about how he "may beat" GGG, I also said if I was wrong I'll gladly admit it, I was wrong:hi:, I figured I'd would write a scenario, of what could possibly happen, I knew it was a long shot.

    I've contributed to some threads since he beat Geale, saying GGG destroys this guy and loses to that guy, I try to be reasonable.

    He quit I wouldn't call that a spectacular KO, see your already building the win up to more than it actually was. he hit him with a good shot Geale didn't feel like taking the beating so he quit.

    Froch and Martinez deserve a little more credit don't you think.
    I love Hopkins, Floyd and Ward are great fighters, no denying, but white fighters who deserve credit don't get it as much, because they are European or white,and America has been slightly condition to not think of white fighters as highly same with basketball, just like black people don't get enough credit in fields that whites predominately control like being a quarterback, its life oh well. I don't care that much. No big deal.

    Why does Dirrel who got robbed against Froch, deserve more credit than Froch ?

    Dirrell fell down on the canvas, held, complained, ran, and lost the fight. Dirrell was very afraid of Froch...............Froch won that fight.

    STEVENSON WANTS WARD ASAP, BUT WARD REFUSES TO FIGHT HIM, WARD IS A COWARD, WON'T FIGHT STEVENSON AT 168. WARD SAID THAT KOVALEV IS TOO BIG FOR HIM, YEAH, 7 LBS., GOVOVKIN WOULD HAVE TO COME UP 8 LBS., BUT THAT'S OK? WARD IS NOT A DRAW, CAN'T SEE A TICKET. WILL ONLY FIGHT IN HIS HOME TOWN. WARD SAID HE WOULD EASILY BEAT KLITSCHKO, BUT REFUSED TO SIGN A CONTRACT. WARD IS LEGEND IN HIS OWN MIND...............

    Dirrell didn't get robbed he ran the whole fight, sometimes judges don't like that, it was close I think Froch deserved the win.

    I understand what you're saying. I just feel that as good as Froch and Maravilla are, they are stilll a class below Ward, BhOp and Floyd.

    And as good as Mike Vick was, or even Mcnabb. They are still a level below Peyton and Brady. Just my opinion.

    If GGG goes on to fulfill his potential, then he'll be added to that "upper echelon" too

    The goal is to hit and not get it.

    He could punch froch and sprint around the ring for the rest of the fight. If Froch can't land, by boxing rules, he should lose. Dirrel won that fight easily.

    i agree that most americans dismiss anyone who isn't american. as far as the lower weights go, who wants to see guys smaller than anorexic chicks, slap each other?

    We could say the same with welterweights in regard to heavyweights

    The lower division have a lot of incredibly talented fighters

    He he wants to be a sprinter maybe he should try out for the Olympics, where is the line between intelligent boxing and cowardice, its hard to tell, but you know it when you see it. Dirrell has crossed the line into being a straight up running coward a few too many times.

    He was running so hard against Abraham he slipped and fell on his ass, leading to the illegal punch that gave him his "brain damage".
