Hope Pac pulls through if only for the fact that the WBA title will be on ice for at least a year if Keith wins.
I got my grammar wrong. What I should have said is "No-one has said that it will get as much interest as Mayweather - Pacquiao."
After the first Hearns fight, Leonard chose very cafefully who he'd fight. Waited years to fight Duran after the No-mas fight. Did the same to Hearns after a classic first fight where Hearns was up big on the scorecards before he was stopped. Leonard would retire and only come out to look for a matchup against specific opponents who he saw weakness in. An example is he rematched Hearns almost a decade after the first match and that's because Hearns had looked like a complete shot fighter the fights before. Waited for Hagler to age and show vulnerability against Mugabi. The list goes on...….one of the reasons he never stayed active after the first Hearns fight wasn't only because of his detached Retina which is the reason he first retired, but because he didn't want to stay active and take on all comers in the form of all styles matchups. It always had to be a style matchup that suited him or wait for the fighter to age and show vulnerability with Leonard. Its the reason why I don't rank Leonard above Duran, Hagler, Hearns, Chavez, Holyfield, etc...…… the list goes on.
The second SRL vs Duran fight was 5 months after the first, so any tactic by SRL was the opposite of waiting years. The legend is that SRL knew Duran was a party animal after fights, so he asked for a quick re-match so he'd not have enough time to comfortably lose the excess weight from his celebrations
Turdman says he feels disrespected by the mere fact Pac signing to fight him. Turdman's a social justice warrior. Don't ever cross a social justice warrior.
Thurman's trash talk doesn't really bother me. He doesn't strike me as the type to have any kind of real dislike/hate for people. Some fighters trash talk and there's a real unhealthy amount of dislike involved.
