I don't like the idea of stacking a PPV card now. Garcia/Lucas would've been so much more of a big deal had it not been overshadowed by the Floyd fight.

And with these weak main events we're getting on normal fight dates, I'd prefer the actual good ones take up space. If bunching up good fights for a PPV means another 2 weeks with bad fights, I'd take spreading it out

This was the fight I wanted to see more than floyd vs Canelo

It's the truth


At this point of time, I believe Guillermo Rigondeaux is the best boxer on the planet. There is nothing he doesnt have or cant do in the ring.

First off .... hell nah! Second you just said on the other page Floyd was the number 1 best boxer on the planet than a page later you claim Rigo

Skill wise, NO ONE is touching RiGOAT. I've stated that numerous times, even went back and forth with my #SOGGang breh about it. No one is better.


Floyd is the #1 boxer as far as resume wise and P4P status currently.


Skill wise, it's hands down Guillermo Rigondeaux to me with no doubt

Sam Soliman vs. Jermain Taylor set for October 4
By Ray Wheatley — World of Boxing

Fightnews.com has learned that the date for the clash between IBF middleweight champion Sam Soliman (44-11, 18 KOs) and former champion Jermain Taylor (32-4-1, 20 KOs) is October 4. The bout will land at a venue in either Florida or Connecticut. Soliman will be making the first defense of the belt he won from Felix Sturm in May.

article from dan raefal about this fight
http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id/11350285/jermain-taylor-fight-sam-soliman-160-pound-title

not goint to post the whole article beacuse i know how some of yall short attention span motherfukkkas is

The 40-year-old Soliman (44-11, 18 KOs) will be making his first title defense since outpointing Felix Sturm on Sturm's turf in Germany to claim the belt by unanimous decision in May. The fight was a rematch of their February 2013 title eliminator, which Soliman won by unanimous decision. However, the result was changed to a no contest because Soliman failed his post-fight drug test and was suspended for nine months by German regulators.

Kurt Emhoff, an attorney and Soliman's and co-manager, said Soliman has signed for the fight, deciding to fight Taylor rather than accept a unification fight against Gennady Golovkin that was also on the table.

"We got a very generous offer for this fight," Emhoff said.

Emhoff said he was "pretty far along in negotiations with Golovkin" even before Golovkin's third-round destruction of Daniel Geale on July 26, but he said he could not close the deal with Golovkin promoter Tom Loeffler of K2 Promotions because the fight with Geale had not happened yet.

"They had the Geale fight coming up and we had to wait a little bit and then this offer came in and it blew the (offer for the) Golovkin fight out of the water," Emhoff said. "It took Sam (17) years to win a title. He has fought everybody, but he's going to be 41 and he was looking for the best possible financial package that was offered and that's what we took.

"Jermain is ranked by the IBF, he's a big name, he's won four fights in a row and he beat Truax. So we know we have to be ready and we expect the best Jermain Taylor. He was seconds away from beating Froch. We're taking him seriously. He's a tough out for anybody."

can you really be mad at sam i didn't even realize he was 40, but it's time to cash out.

the month of october is getting off to interesting start on espn, ndam-stevens ibf eliminator is oct 1 and this fight is oct 4.

Al Haymon's Leo Santa Cruz' "advisor" right?


Manuel Roman is the #93 ranked 118 lber in the world, moving UP to 122 to fight Leo Santa Cruz who's the WBC Champion there


This is Danny Garcia vs Rod Salka all over again, except he's the Mexican version of Rod Salka, Rod SALSA, but he's even worse
