Hey guys! New member here..What's poppin!

Whatsup fam..Cotto didnt quit,he just was taking a bad beating. I wish Floy didnt retire,but hes smart for doing it.I don't think its gonna last though,especially with the money he spends. Im looking forward to hopkins pav to.I dont think its gonna be this mismatch everyone is predicting.Pavlik by ud..Sam Langford is the greatest to ever lace em up.my alltime favorite

 

1. cotto loss made me cry.
2. floyd retiring made ma happy
3. pav vs hopkins new made me cry harder. i mean WTF

 

Hey noob.
1. I was completely shocked since i was predicting a Cotto victory. (I am Mexican so that shows you the outcome was ok with me).
2. ITs good for the sport. He was just holding up alot of important fights and also held a prestigeous title that none of the WW could have had a chance to capture to to PBF only fighting LWW, over the hill fighters, or The Big Show.
3. I think people are in for a surprise since I think Hopkins will break Pavlik down. When is the last time Hopkins got beat by a basic fighter like Pavlik?
YOu know that all Pavlik is gonna do is the usual. Jab and right hands all day. I think Hopkins is smart enough to create a gameplan that will nullify all the basics.

 

welcome mate,always good to see newbies.just a word of advice.the twats on tis board will gie you dogs abuse;in there sad little world they see it as some sort of 'right of passage' so just rise above it mate.at the end of the day this is a forum and aint wrth the shite they will give you,but to these dobs its the only bit of himan interaction they get.

cheers and enjoy your time:thumbsup

 

He didn't quit,he was finished,done
Thanks god he retired,don't wanna see his ***** ass,ducking master ass
And why not,at 160 Abraham was busy so take on The Executioner

 

Clearly an alias trying to wind people up by mentioning Cotto 'quiting'.

I tell you what:

Watch that and then tell me what you think about Cotto 'quiting'.

 

LOL

 

Welcome.
He didn't exactly quit. He took a knee which usually means they need to buy some time. Taking it twice signaled his corner to throw in the towel. So the fight was stopped ending technically by knock out. I think of Duran against Leonard in the second fight when I think of someone quitting.

 

He admited to quiting.

 

1. I don't look upon it as a "quit" which implies a No Mas style surrender, he fought well and fought bravely against Margarito, but looked to be badly hurt and injured at the end, carrying on when the fight was lost and absorbing more and more punishment just for pride or to appease fans would have been insane. Tremendous fight, tremendous performances from both men, and the better man won on the night.

2. I'm really disappointed Floyd has retired. I'm not really a big fan of the guy, but he was undoubtedly a great talent and a big character, and boxing is a poorer place without him. I would love to see him return to fight the winner of Margarito-Williams II, that really would be legendary stuff! (ps: I'd fancy Margo to win both fights)

3. I am a big Hopkins fan, but I think he has made a mistake taking this fight. Yes, he has vastly superior skills to Pavlik, but he had vastly superior skills to Calzaghe as well- it is his stamina/fitness/workrate/energy that lost him the Calzaghe decision, and it is that which will lose him the Pavlik fight too. At 43, Father Time has finally caught up with B-Hop. I fear a nasty end for him v a young hungry relentless puncher like Pavlik. I wish he hadn't taken the fight.
