Devon don't give a shit about Brook or his title he'll take a fight with Floyd over anything

This is really *bleep* up from floyd if he makes this fight total fcking snooze fest

man this is ridiculous

by The Franchise Thu 7 Feb - 16:29:42

True, we have to wait and see.

Devon technically only lost one fight, but he robbed Matthyese badly and hasnt look good in..like ages.

Broner

He's so cocky lol, can't argue with the results though.

by Rebaño Sagrado Sat 23 Feb - 2:43:35

Broner is so corny ffs I cringe every time I watch one of his interviews. He tries so *bleep* hard man its annoying as shit. He's a good fighter, but he's definitely beatable. He looked shocked by Rees speed but Broner adjusted well and Rees had no power. Easy stay busy fight for Broner.

Mayweather's going to face Guerrero on May 4th like everyone anticipated... I'm just glad its not Devon fcking Alexander. Floyd will take Guerrero to school. Robert will make it an ok fight but Floyd is in no danger really...

Still not confirmed is Canelo vs Trout on the under card. Really hope they make this fight.

I like Guerrero, I think he has a chance.

He is very long left handed and has some great skills. Also he is tough. I think he could win if Flloyd has fallen off a bit.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Sat 23 Feb - 15:40:31

No one has a chance against Floyd :coffee:

/fanboy

by The Franchise Sat 23 Feb - 16:04:11

I do wonder how Flloyd's career will end.

Does he go out on a big fight? Retire after crushing Pacman in his final bout? Or does he come back again and again with declining skills?

Does he lose before he retires? Does he retire once he lost once?

by Abramovich Sat 23 Feb - 18:21:16

I'm a big fan of Guerrero, will be more competitive then Cotto vs Floyd for sure.

Amir Khan to fight Julio Diaz in Sheffield on 27 April

FINALLY IN ENGLAND GET INNNNNNNNN

btw how good is Julio Diaz ?

by The Franchise Wed 27 Feb - 21:40:21

Dont know, never seen him.

33 years old, 7 defeats..sounds journeyman-ish..which isnt the worst thing in the world.

Has thought 4 fighters I know, Castillo, Cayo, Holt and Juan Diaz...lost them all, and Cayo the only guy who didnt KO him.

by RealGunner Wed 27 Feb - 22:22:48

Some fodder then Laughing

I guess good for momentum and stats if he wins

by The Franchise Wed 27 Feb - 22:28:24

Good fight for Khan, nothing wrong with building confidence if your in the position he is in.

To be honest I hope he loses. Nothing would please me more than to see him lose to a below par opponent like Guerrero. I've written loads here about how amazing Floyd is in the ring, but at this stage I'm just sick of him. He's full of shít. Since those Castillo fights (one of which he lost), he has consistently avoided the best fighters in any given division. I think if the decision in the first Castillo had gone the other way, Floyd's career would have been twice what it is today. He bases everything on that zero, but the lengths he has gone to protect that 0 just take the piss. Floyd should have been the undisputed fighter of the decade, hell of the last 20 years. Look at resume's though, and Manny Pacquiao beats him hands down, a guy who on boxing skill alone isn't in Floyd's league. It's Floyd's fault he'll never be considered one of the best of all time, he hasn't fought the best.

I'm not going to write an essay, I'm just gonna use one example because everyone knows what Floyd is like.

We're entering 2008. The Welterweight Division is the strongest it's been since the days of Leonard, Hearns, Benitez and Duran. Floyd retires, goes to WWE for a while, waits for everybody to beat each other and then comes back and fights a Lightweight. He brings him up two weight classes, and then doesn't bother to make weight himself. Of course looks absolutely immense in the fight itself.

Brandon Rios vs Mike Alvarado II tonight, watch this shit!!

by The Franchise Sun 31 Mar - 0:55:39

Tonight? Hell yes, im in.

I missed the Flloyd rant paddy, dunno how.

Who has Flloyd not fought he should have Paddy?

The only won I can think of is Marg..and Pacman obviously but that is on Pacmans people too clearly.

But other than them, who else?

I do agree he cares too much about the 0 record but I mean, he has fought everyone at some point no?

I dont see how Manny has a better resume?

He has lost to Marquez 2 or 3 times, once offically, Flloyd belted him. Everyone Manny beat, Flloyd already beat or beat after but at a better difficulty (Cotto at his weight)...minus Marg.

Donaire vs Rigo tonight

Donaire ko rd 7 :coffee:

by Abramovich Sat 13 Apr - 21:06:31

Just wanted to comment on this, Guerrero is a top quality fighter not a below par opponent as you put it.

by The Franchise Mon 15 Apr - 1:20:36

Reb, you didnt listen brother.

Outclassed and outboxed, Rig is the real deal.

by Rebaño Sagrado Mon 15 Apr - 1:39:11

That was pure dominance. I just didn't think Rigo would be able to do that. I mean he made a top 10 p4p look like a bum. I'm so disappointed in Donaire. He gave a lot of excuses(even tho he said they weren't) but the outcome would have been the same no matter what. Rigo is amazing. I have seen the light. Donaire is still ma boy. He'll reek havoc at feather. Don't know whats left for Rigo tho. A fight with Mares would be amazing, but that wont happen. It will be interesting to see what Arum does next.

by The Franchise Mon 15 Apr - 2:08:45

Donaire was made to look 1 dimensional, looking for one punch, Rigo is WAY to smart and way too good defensively for that. Almost disrespectful thinking he could get through like that....didnt he see Rigo before? I get if fans sleep on him, hes been under the radar, but the guy is a legend without being recognised.

He has won 2 Olympic golds, 2 world championships...in the discussion for the greatest amateur fighter of all time....lost just 12 fights in 400...which is unreal....and the last time he lost was a decade ago.

I am glad you have seen the light, for the first time I saw him...I was like okay, this guy is something. I might go as far as to say one of the best all around talents I seen during my lifetime.

by The Franchise Mon 15 Apr - 2:21:22

Just did some research, perhaps 400 fights isnt true..its impossible to know for sure, some people put it at closer to 300. Either way, one of the best records of all time.

by Rebaño Sagrado Tue 16 Apr - 2:57:37

I knew Rigo was talented. I just didn't think he'd be able to take on elite competition at 11 pro fights. Boy was I wrong Laughing

Canelo vs Trout this Saturday Proud

by The Franchise Tue 16 Apr - 11:43:05

Got a predicton Reb?

Still think Canelo will take him. I predict a struggle in the early middle rounds(4-7 ), a close fight, but Canelo going to land the more impactful shots while Trout does his job staying in the fight but not landing very many big shots.

by Abramovich Tue 16 Apr - 13:48:53

I think Trout will win, I have money on it too. Dem odds were pretty decent.
