    If Zabs contract was already signed, why did they change it and give him less money after he lost to Baldy? :deal :hi:

    Bruselles was a worthless eliminator, Gatti had decided he wanted to face Fraud - against his own handlers wishes.

    Fraud should have been working toward a fight with Tsyu instead - since he's always concerned with linear champs right. :lol:

    Mitchell?!?!? what a joke, how many seats did that crap sell? about 2,500. :lol: HBO overpaid for that fight and Fraud sought out the path of least resistance, cause thats what she does.

    Shane at that age at 147 lbs was a bigger threat than ANY fighter Fraud has faced from 140 on up.:deal

    its a shame he's not facing the people we all want him to. Cause I don't think theres a fighter in the game that can handle his movement and his defense. They'll throw sloppy glancing blows, he'll land clean, effective lasers and out point. I'm just as frustrated as everyone about floyd not facing who I personally want to see him in the ring with.

    I just dont think anyone's got the tools. I think it would take good range, a laser jab faster than his, in conjunction with rights coming in through floyd's left - thats just my humble opinion, and I dont think cotto, mosley, williams, cintron, CQ, or anyone else routinely thrown in the same sentence with PBF next fights can do it. I think DLH showed it early in their first fight, but he's tired and doesn't have a chance in their worthless rematch.

    the money stimpulation was in the contract that's why..if zab lost he'd get the lions share of the purse..since he lost he his purse went down..

    how was bruslles a worthless eliminator? gatti didnt want to fight pbf but he had no choice after the eliminator..

    You know Tyszu was injured and his handlers signed to fight hatton agianst his will but hatton offered a nice purse so they took it


    and your last point in the post i wont even respond to because its irrelevant

    I see your point, but fights arent fought on paper. . . who wouldve picked QUintana to beat PW??? But he did it.

    I gave pw a 60 out of 100 fights edge....but CQ was under estimated.
    Its funny, in the begining i thought it'd be an easy opponent for PW, but after watching alot of CQ tape he's a very skilled slick southpaw....not exactly a great style match up for pw...and it showed on fight night.

    wrong, the intitial contract was null and void as soon as he lost . . .had to negotiate a new contract. . . Fraud could have faced someone else but didnt.

    Gatti made it clear to his handlers that he wanted to face him, his handlers tried to pursuade him against it - they would have had him drop the belt but he wanted the fight - props to him for having the courage even if it was not the "wise" choice.

    KT was not injured the whole time Fraud was ready to move up to 140, his target should have been the linear champ, cause thats what he's most concerned with right? :lol:

    BTW, it is a valid point. . . HBO did overpay for the mitchel fight and Fraud could have gone after a more worthy opponant and chose the path of least resisctance.

    Pimp C dont talk about Floyd with ramshall no matter the facts put in front of him he wont acknowledge them. He hates Floyd and you can't change that. It's useless to argue with him.

    He did within that time offer Margo a fight during the renegoiating of the Judah fight. Which Margo turned down, which he then went forward with the Judah fight.

    Even if Floyd wanted KT which he did. The fight would of been impossible to make. Lance pointed it out to me. KT fights for Showtime. And only once have they done a joint broadcast which was for Tyson-Lewis. They wouldn't have done it for FLoyd-KT. So dont even make it out to be like he ducked him.

    Mitchell was a warm up fight at 147 and nothing more. Don't exaggerate things.
