We have been robbed of one of the biggest fights of this generation....

Huge fight but the typw of fight that if Lennox were to lose itll leave a sour taste in your mouth. Lewis was an old man.

Maywather - Cotto are both at their peak, but p4p best in the World, and both undefeated world champions, this is the biggest fight in boxing without doubt.

Mayweather hasnt retired imo, after Cotto - Margo has been settled, they will throw money at PBF to fight the winner.

 

Some of the Biggest Fight's missed during my Gen would have to be...

Sugar Ray Leonard Vs. Aaron Pryor (147/154)
Bernard Hopkins Vs. James Toney (160)
Riddick Bowe Vs. Lennox Lewis
Oscar De La Hoya Vs. Terry Norris (154)
Felix Trinidad Vs. Terry Norris (154)
Julio Ceasar Chavez Vs. Buddy McGirt (140)
Julio Ceasar Chavez Vs. Simon Brown (147)
Roy Jones Jr. Vs. Julian Jackson (160)
Roy Jones Jr. Vs. Gerald McClellan (160)
Roy Jones Jr. Vs. Nigel Benn (160)
Roy Jones Jr. Vs. Chris Eubank (160)
(Danm!, Roy was Ducking & Dodging like a Mutha as well...)

ect...I can keep going
lol

 

It's premature to be saying this.

 

Relentless papa I hear what you are saying but I truly BELIEVE that a fight between Cotto Vs PBF could easily turn out to be another Tito vs Oscar. Because PBF would had been too scare to stand there and trade at least a couple of times you know. You know he WOULDNT fight Cotto the same way he fought Gatti or Hatton for that matter. So IMHO, Cotto doesnt need that chip on his shoulders, he is going on to bigger and better things...

 

i agree with you 100%

 

sorry my friend but thats a dumb, dumb post.

is the better fighter the one who stands there and trades and gets sparked by the bigger man and heavier hitter?

or is the one who knows his strengths, plays to them and utilizes his boxing skills to frustrate his opponent?

you sir, have never boxed in your life.

 

It would ahve been boring with PBF pot shotting his way to victory. Or did you guys believe he was going to fight Cotto like he fought Hatton?atsch

 

A boring decision win for Mayweather is still better than the fight not happening.

I still think it's happening.

 

cotto's sounder technically and hits harder than hatton.
i think cotto's body work deserves more respect too but if floyd can outwork cotto in the same vein he did hatton i think it will silence the naysayers.

that's a pretty big call though.

 

Thats NOT what I said you idiot. Read my post again...What I said was that PBF will NOT stand and trade with Cotto at least a couple times, like we all want him to so we can see if he can KO a REAL WW. All he will do is pot shot from outside and expect a W because he is Money Mayweather so nuthuggers like you can continue to put him on a pedestal. **** we ALL know he has all the skills but show us something different...

 

Wow thats a good list, woulda loved to have seen anyone of those fights.
The standout fight for me woulda been RJJ v Chris Eubank....omg that woulda been a great fight (i would think so). Woulda defo favoured RJJ for it tho, but Eubank was a monster at Super Mid and Mid.

Looking back at the list above no wonder boxing got into the state it is in now, as time went on throughout the 90's less and less meaningful fights were happening. Thankfully we had a good 07 and 08 is while thus far imo not as good as 07, its been good still.

Lets keep this momentum up.

 

:deal :deal :deal :deal :deal :deal :deal

 

Yea we;ve had our pants pulled down. all those hard earned pounds that i spent buying floyds pay per view **** fights and now he retires. its like going to the cinema to watch half of the movie. wtf!!!!!

 

No he will fight the winner of Tony vs Cotto just wait and see:deal

 

very good point
