Saltwater Moses still the fastest WW. Thurman the only one who poses a threat. Brook would be eating straight lefts all night.

Based on what?

Bob Arum says unification fights are for schmucks, yet he had no problem making Crawford vs Postol and calling it a big fight

Thats just his way of saying he don't wanna put Pacquiao in there with the young lions. I would respect him more for being honest

Yep. It's obvious


Of course he would put Manny vs AB, because it's believed to be an easier fight (for big money) than the others....which is fine, bc AB is the underdog in that potential matchup even to me (even though I think he can steal the fight)

However, the other Welterweight Champions are all legit Welters (Thurman and either Spence or Brook) who are bigger, stronger, more physical, with power in their hands and, even though Pac would have the speed advantage, they have good hand speed themselves with pretty decent chins. None of them have ever been down in a fight, while the fact Bradley made Pacquiao levitate will always remain in my mind.....plus the fact Pacquiao has been knocked down numerous times by lesser punchers than Thurman, Spence, or Brook


Arum pressed the button in that interview fast

Adrien Broner: Danny Garcia Will Bounce Back Like a Bad Check!

By Victor Salazar

New York - During his career, Adrien Broner (33-2, 1NC, 24 KO’s) picked himself up and bounced back from two losses and continues to remain relevant in boxing by headlining televised events on various networks.

His good friend, two division champion Danny Garcia (33-1, 19 KO’s), tasted defeat for the first time in his career last Saturday night, when he dropped a twelve round split decision to Keith Thurman at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Garcia not only his ‘0’ but he also gave up the WBC welterweight title. But knowing Garcia and comparing the scenario to his own personal history, Broner believes Garcia will be back in full force and better than ever.

“Danny is going to bounce back like a bad check and that’s what true champions do,” Broner told reporters after the Thurman-Garcia fight. "I seen it first hand for myself like when I bounced back from Marcos Maidana. Danny’s going to be ok. The ball didn’t fall in his court today, just wake up with a smile and go back to the gym.”

Moments after the loss, Garcia - as he was heading into the post-fight press conference - embraced with Broner.

Broner feels that no matter what kind of criticism may come to Garcia, he should hold his head high.

“It’s tough because everyone is rooting for you and you got some rooting against you and once the guy losses, he’s like 'I told you he wasn’t sh*t,'” stated the four division world champion. “Now everybody going to say Danny ain’t sh*t but they weren’t saying it when he was beating guys as the underdog. He just has to stay positive."

Broner is coming off a victory when he defeated Adrian Granados (18-5-2,12 KO’s) just a few weeks ago. For the victor and new unified WBC/WBA welterweight champion Keith Thurman (28-0, 22 KO’s), Broner feels the recipe is just to keep the victories and titles coming.

“For Keith Thurman, all he has to do is just keep building your name and brand, stay positive and keep winning,” Broner said.

Broner says he will stay at 147 and keep building the stable in About Billions Promotion.

“We going to get Rau’shee Warren another title shot at 115 and for Bunny (Robert Easter), he going to take over 135."

my stan set looking pretty good for the beginning of 2017.

 

[The axe murderer]

This boxer became a world champion. Now maybe it’s time to move out of his parents’ house.

Great article on Jarrett Hurd @ChocolateGiddyUp

 

[SuikodenII]

Son punked Gavril in front of everybody in the TMT gym?

 

[King P]

This quote irks the hell out of me

Mike Tyson said if you come from the middle class, you’ll never be a champion; that you have to come from the ghetto, you have to come from the ‘hood,”

Its really annoying how boxing is almost like rap where people actually look at street cred. Never made any damn sense to me. fukk does that have to do with anything?

I remember watching Hopkins vs Shumenov and they kept bringing up his background and how he was a lawyer and shyt. Almost as if they were saying "why is he even boxing?"

I remember when Erik Morales took shots Barrera about how he grew up in a middle class home and went to college and shyt, and how Morales was a real Mexican fighter because he grew up in the streets.

All that shyt is so corny to me, and I don't understand why it even matters. If you can box, you can box. fukk all that extra shyt

I agree with you. I don't take anything Mike Tyson says in regards to Boxing seriously anyways

mike does know his boxing though..thats just a dumb quote ..and remember if it wasnt for tyson lubin would still be in amateurs instead of a fighter on the verge of breaking out

For real I don't get it. Bet they don't say nothing about the avid chess player and Phd earner Klitschko who also had one of the highest KO% and was the only heavyweight champ not to be knocked down
He was dedicated to the craft
