    If I knew the sport like you do?

    Please!


    “Mike was thoroughly outboxed for 4 rounds before landing a punch out of nowhere”

    “Anything that Leonard could do, Floyd could do better”

    “Floyd would probably have beaten Hagler”


    That is your so called boxing knowledge.

    You’re an absolute laughing stock.

    I honestly possessed more knowledge than you when I was about 13 years old.


    Pretending to be content at not attending serious boxing matches??


    So what if Lara had 10 defences?

    Yes, he’s a talented fighter. But he’s not a great fighter.

    Same with Trout.

    What has Trout ever done apart from beat a faded Cotto?

    The answer is nothing.


    If a fighter couldn’t win a round off of Floyd, and he could barely beat 2 non great fighters, then how the FK can he be a top 5 guy at the weight??

    I'll consider Jermell Charlo for the 5 spot if he beats Castano on Saturday.

    I sometimes see the HBO broadcast and they are saying Donald is doing so well, yet it was the early rounds and Donald was starting to get hit with body punches on the inside and backing up slightly in round 3 and 4. And this was a 15 round fight. I think Mike had his number and was going to get him either way. I think the mistake was that Donald had the eye swelling and was being beaten on the inside, so he started that moving in and moving out to avoid inside punching and got caught moving back at time when he was vulnerable because of his swollen eye.. Why his eye swelled is the big question. I see a little swelling after round one, so I watched it trying to find out what did it and I never could see why. When Hagler fought Hearns, I wanted to figure out what caused Hagler's cut, and that was easy to find since we knew when that happened pretty much. Hearns was tired and breathing out of his mouth and Hagler swiped his head along Hearns mouthpiece and that cut Hagler's forehead.. I found that the first time I tried to.. But with Donald, I guess it was not a cut so swelling is not as clear and more gradual a situation.

    You’d probably bump Canelo up one place to accommodate him.

    No ****, Floyd literally ducked the match. Floyd called Winky out in 05 when Winky was considered one of the best p4p fighters in the world and having just beat Trinidad. Floyd made all of these demands then when Winky accepted them all Floyd and Arum backed down of negotiations and decided they didn't want anything to do with Wright, understandably so. Wright is just a bad stylistic match up for Floyd.

    That's a two way street, my friend. Winky demanded 50-50 which is downright comical. Ever heard of "Winky Wright School of Business?"

    Anyway, I'm not too impressed with Winky's work at 154. Shane was mostly hype at 154, Cotto-level at best in that weightclass, and other than that, you're looking at wins over Bronco McKart, a narrow loss to Vargas, and somewhat competitive loses to Simon and Vasquez. It's not top 5 stuff.

    Just when I thought that you couldn’t sink any lower, you go and pull off this masterpiece.
