i was gonna go to the 2nd vanzie-earl fight it was a stones throw away from my house. to be fair i liked junior too and thought he'd beat hatton but you were all up his ass talking about him fighting floyd, cotto etc.
Vanzie actually used to post on here for a bit, wanted to take legal action after the second Earl fight. He didn't really have any fans though, so was always going to other boxers hometowns. Romanov who knocked him out should have gone on to world honours to You have a good memory, I went a bit crazy hyping him as someone who could potentially beat Mayweather, although you never know with lucky punches, FMJ gets hit with wild shots (Corley/Mosley). He looked awesome against the stationary Harris and against Ndou and obviously when he was fighting down a few levels. I still reckon near his best and when Cotto was struggling to make 140 he would have taken it then, Corley buzzed Cotto pretty bad Were you around here when Harris was been talked about as the new Hagler by a few people? Margarito swiftly became the new Hagler after Maussa KO'd him
i was indeed. i never thought Harris was a hagler or whatever but i thought he was good and would become decent but then maussa ****ed him up, i wanted to see harris vs cotto at the time.
As a Cotto fan, I'm glad he is more in charge of his career. Arum needs to realize that an agency relationship has responsibilities both ways.
he wants pac may canelo n chavez he doesnt have any preference...as to facing canelo he said "lets see if he is ready to get into the ring with me"
If you remember Cotto, Hatton, Mayweather all removed themselves from being his mando, that probably is a record, that's why everyone thought he was avoided. Harris wasn't a draw and was a bit of a twat to negotiate with but he was on a good run going into that fight. The Maussa fight was pretty shocking, he was bossing that early and gassed after a round or 2. Looking back he looked a bit **** against Ukral, some people thinking the first was a gift, stamina wasn't his strong point. He completely destroyed Hurtado which looked good at the time
Cotto is on a fight to fight basis and also has a working relation with DLH, he said that he will work with both DLH and Arum going forward depending on the fight. :hat
