Like what I have said over and over again . . . most posters here are not real boxing fans . . . they are not fans of the sport but merely fans of just one or two fighters. They are fighter worshippers . . . NUT HUGGERS . . . and any fighter not in their likings will always be antagonized . . . un appreciated and bull shitted. :deal
Its funny that you try to discredit TaTa, the guy who just crushed Cotto last year is now in talks to fight Tata
The same guy who since has been exposed as a cheat and banned from fighting in the States? Funny, indeed. Anyway, I guess if anyone is to speak on "discrediting" it would be you. I saw that post you made down playing De La Hoya's resume earlier today. That had to be one of the most ridiculous posts I ever read on any Boxing forum.
Why? Is it my fault Arum's plan was to make DLH popular by beating shot legends like JCC, Camacho & Pernell?
Cotto is on the decline now ... Puerto Ricans questioned him when he got buzzed by Corely, N'dou, and Torres ... give it some time ... Cotto will be an after thought and the attention will be turned towards Lopez.
Hater comment. He is on no decline,he looked as sharp as ever with Jennings. By the end of his career he will be a sure HOF and maybe a top 100 ATG.
You are giving him too much credit. I just don't think he knows what to look for in a fight. If he even watched them. There is one camera angle from right behind Rubio where Pavlik slips several punches in a row with 'just enough' head movement. I wish I had the capability to pull that clip out and post it. People really don't appreciate Kelly's economy of movement sometimes.
What elite welterweight can he beat? ... he's in high demand now because many fighters out there have seen chinx in his armor ... he's done for ... WHO CAN HE BEAT? ... other than some bums ...
Berto who I thought was being protected is looking for a fight with Cotto and Dibella Ent. is all for it.
Pavlik proved that his mandatories are jokes. That's not his fault, but he definitely needs fights that force him to improve his game and it doesn't look like he's going to get any anytime soon. Cotto proved that I still can't stand watching his fights. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a hater - I just can't get myself to like him. At all.
Its not Pavlik's fault that his mandatories are jokes but its his fault that he's not getting them out of there in good fashion. Atleast Jermain Taylor's defenses were against named opponents ... I will never hear from Lockett or Rubio again ...
