The difference is that Haye has much better available opponents than the Klits. The Klits have already beaten most of the top guys, and the other...
Instead of talking guaranteed purses, why not talk about ACTUAL purses? My impression is that Marquez was asking for $5M flat. Margarito, Hatton...
As I posted over at TBB, I think the author misread the statute. Options aren't illegal as long as they're not more than a year long.
$5M flat would be much less than Pacquiao's last few opponents have received (other than Clottey), so sure. Plus, it's not like they drew a line...
What's the classic forum's opinion on Root and Shade? Can't say I know much about them, but there isn't much in Shade's record that impresses me.
His career ended just too late. Guys whose careers ended after 1945 are voted on by the writers and, IIRC, it's just that the top 3 vote-getters...
It hasn't been noticed that much, but Memphis Pal Moore was also inducted and is quite worthy.
Johnson will fight anyone, anywhere. I doubt he would refuse to fight Bute, even if they're buddies. The true nightmare scenario is if Bute...
If the replacement is Nadjib Mohammedi as has been rumored, Iron Djib is better than Lakatos anyway, plus Djib is willing to brawl a bit,...
Barrios is well past his best as well, but that probably makes this a good fight. Morales and Barrios are both faded, but they're both tough and...
Richard Abril is another one who wasn't on the first list, off the top of my head. Also Yan Barthelemy .
Not a good fighter either. Outside of Germany, he would be 1-3 in his last 4 fights. Frigging Jorge Sebastian Heiland outfought him. He's about...
He's got quick hands, but there isn't much else I've seen in him that impresses me much.
Only one of them has ever quit on his stool....
:-( And the IBHOF wonders why it's a joke. Joe Cortez and Sylvester Stallone? Seriously?
