which poster would be the best matchmaker?

Me.

Here is a fight I would make- Froch v Broner. When Dirrell was fed to the Cobra he stopped being a bell end. Froch is the cure for being a twat

 

Depends on what you mean exactly, JG. The best match maker in making fan friendly fights or the best match maker in protecting your investment?

 

Who's alt are you?

 

That's not what your mum said last night :hi:

 

While there are many different variables, it would have to be a poster that at the very least has the fundamentals down.

Boxers do best against Sluggers. Volume Punchers do the best against Boxers. And Sluggers do the best against Volume Punchers.

In fact, we just saw that play out recently.

Mathysse against Peterson. Good example of a slugger vs a volume puncher.

Angulo vs Lara. Good example of a volume puncher against a boxer.

Rigo vs Donaire. A good example of a boxer against a slugger.

Now, I understand this is not so cut and dry, but if you put it into perspective, with respect to how the particular attributes will play out in certain match ups, it will usually work out like this.

The key is finding guys that are evenly matched.

In so far as what I'm refering to attributes, a volume puncher doesn't always have to be a volume puncher. For instance, Frazier didn't volume punch the second time against Foreman, he chose to box, but unfortunately, he didn't have the skill to outbox Foreman.

Donaire didn't have the ability to outbox Rigo, and we know he's not a volume puncher.

That had all the makings of a boring fight.

But you put Donaire in with Mares. You got fireworks. You have Mares that will try to swarm Donaire, and Donaire will try to take his lights out.

Or back in the day, Margarito vs Mayweather would have been a great fight. Margarito would have forced Mayweather to fight every second.

But if you're a promoter, would you be willing to put your guy in a tough fight?

 

You've been around longer. I think you'd be the best candidate.

 

As long as you don't put a boxer in with a boxer or suspect that two guys known for punching hard will opt to box or put a boxer in with a slugger, you're fine I guess.

Mares vs Rigo would be a good fight. Mares would force Rigo to fight.

Any volume puncher vs a slugger is a good, explosive match up. A good volume puncher against a boxer is interesting too.

 

Missing the lounge, JG?
