Who else is pulling for Clottey?

Not me.

 

SRL win over Hearn is NOT as CONVINCING or DOMINATING as PAC's win over Cotto..

Did Hearns run run run run just to survive his fight over SRL :!::!::!::hi:

 

Proudly pulling for Clottey 8)

 

Why is that funny?

Atleast Pac's win is without controversy, cant say the same for both of SRL's wins.

 

You're leaving out the fact that Tommy Hearns is Tommy Hearns and Miguel Cotto is Miguel Cotto. A non-dominant win over a Tommy Hearns is always worth more than a dominant win over a Miguel Cotto. No disrespect to Miguel but it is what it is.

 

:scaredas:

What the ****?

Okay, let's bar the 2nd fight. No one will try to argue that as a big *win (draw) for anyone. But SRL TKO 14 Hearns is better than Pac's entire career, let alone the Cotto win.

****.

(Yes, perhaps slight exaggeration).

 

You make it sound as if Cotto is a nobody. He's one of the top tier fighters of the decade, and will likely make the HoF if he beats Foreman and grabs another big win.

Which of these wins holds more value to you?

Tito over DLH or Tito over Vargas.

 

That's a better comparison to Pac-Cotto than SRL-Tommy bloody Hearns.

 

I'm going for clottey.

 

I like Cotto. I am not in any way making it sound like he's a nobody. But Tommy Hearns and Miguel Cotto are are not even in the same league in any way, in any shape, in any form. And what the hell does Tito/DLH and Tito/Vargas have anything to do with it? And I don't regard Tito's "win" over DLH as anything but a "win" by robbery. Whereas Leonard stopped Hearns, as opposed to getting an insane gift decision. But that doesn't have anything to do with comparing Leonard over Hearns to Pacquiao over Cotto.

 

why would any boxing fan pull for either mosley or clottey when it's obviously great for boxing to have floyd vs pacquiao than to have shane vs clottey? i don't understand the mindset of some of you. you class yourself as boxing fans yet you don't root for what is actually the best outcome for boxing.

 

...I would think competition and showing that it's not a script where the bigger star wins is what's better for boxing than big PPV fights. I think what was better for boxing was back when I could watch boxing recaps on Saturday afternoon on regular television also. Is regular competition at a high level on regular tv better for boxing or big mega fights that tend to bring in mostly hardcore fans who would pay for outrageous PPV rates here and there with the guys who stand out as the biggest rock stars the ticket for the sport's health? I couldn't say, personally. I didn't think ODLH/Mayweather was that positively impactful for the sport, to be honest. I don't think it made too many fans. Or was exciting enough to do so.

 

Are you comparing Hearns with Cotto?

 

I hope Pac wins for the simple reason that a victory keeps alive the hopes of a Pac/Mayweather fight. But if Pac were to lose I would be glad he lost to Clottey. Clottey is another boxer who, like Pac, grew up in extreme poverty, he is respectful, humble and has been unlucky thus far in his career. He seems to be genuinely delighted at his chance to fight a superstar and I wish him well.

 

what you on about? it's fights like frazier-ali, leonard-hearns, those are the fights that bring in the casuals, even fights like oscar-mayweather brought in the casuals, not fights like ****ing mosley vs clottey, those are the sort of fights that attract hardcore fans. mega fights attracts casuals, and the reason why is obvious, because of the hype surrounding the fight attracts people, which is why it'll attract millions of viewers on PPV aswell...so no, mega fights is what is great for boxing, while competition is great for the hardcore fans. you actually got it totally wrong, like the opposite way round actually..
