Guess I'll make the Eubank Quinlan thread

I knew he was legit when he beat my boy TBA from pilar to post.

We need to run that back.

#SaunaSquad needs to catch the fade with Valdez breh

 

[Newzz]

My hate for him largely stems from his mouth not cashing checks he promises. If he would shut up and go about his business like most fighters the criticism for him would be far less.
Injured? Okay, fine.
Long layoff? Okay, get a tune up.
Not ready? Go work your quality of opponents up.
Call out Canelo and GGG every time some one puts a mic to your face or your twitter fingers get active, be presented with both fights with good deals and make up excuses.

The original GGG-Brook fight was not offered to Eubanks, it was offered to BJS and he turned down a hometown fight. Blamed the money. Really, you think you are more popular than Brook?
Was offered to fight on Canelo's PPV undercard vs. a hand picked opponent, basically be guaranteed the next fight vs. Canelo on PPV, which would be instead of JCC and turn it down.
And rumors are Jacobs would like to fight him and he backed out of negotiations with him.

Have a case to be the second best MW and your career is going where? In the short term best case scenario is a Eubanks rematch (good luck with those two egos now).
His one piece he does have is GGG is desperate to unify, so no matter how much BJS runs around, ducks, and dodges, GGG will always be open to fighting him.

Still doesn't change the facts brehs



Yall using personal opinions, and not his talent, to hate on him



I had never even checked up on BJS until last night and seen that he has better wins than everyone at MW but GGG, so until he loses, Ima have to put some respect on his name.

Favored? I don't think so. Can beat him? Im taking Robert Easter Jr over Vasyl Lomachenko, head to head.


Now, Im not saying Easter is better career/resume wise...but I think he can beat Loma in a head to head fight

Don't think Loma is ready to rumble w the cats at 135 yet. Not due to skill but size. He needs a chin check as well. I'd take Mikey over PBL at 135.

 

[mr. smoke weed]

all this is pretty much the reason why I picked Easter to beat Mikey as well.

It's' like nikkas fall in love with pure skills so much that they ignore all of the physical attributes that can enhance the skills when a bigger man has them.

Mikey has more than pure skills, but I see what you're saying with the last part. I still pick Mikey over Easter though.

Yep...it's a HUGE difference facing Featherweights and Junior Lightweights, in comparision to facing not only just Lightweights, but BIG natural lightweights like Garcia who happens to have great power as well, and can just easily be a 147lber.


Like you said, I would need to see him in the ring with some hitters at 135 first as well

 

[LennoxWine]

I'm not too impressed with Lubin. He'll get better, but he's not betting the Charlos, Andrade, or Lara. A Tony Harrison type would be good to see where he stands. Lubinson stands.

Explain this please

 

[Axum Ezana]

Explain this please

probably cause he didn't ko that one elchapo breh in last fight

 

[aceboon]

Again...
that would matter if Easter would fight tall and would exploit those advantages
which he doesn't do usually...

Pretty much, and Easter isn't nearly as skilled as they're making him out to be. Easter is the same dude that had Commey hurt in that last round and then walked right into Commey's chest smothering his(Easter's) own punches, elite fighters don't do that. He's a good fighter and talented but folks need to slow down.

He did KO his last opponent

He is like the Abel Sanchez of fighters. You are a hell of a trainer on your own, just don't open your mouth and say some of the dumbest shyt anyone has heard. BJS has a respectable career and could market himself to fans as the second best MW (although Jacobs passes the eye test better IMO, and Canelo as well if he is at 160). Either way, dude is a top MW, he deserves that credit. He just needs to shut the fukk up because everything he says is some dumb shyt that makes him look terrible.

And yes, I think the hate here is his personality, career choices, not his overall skill. As far as I can remember I don't know anyone here calling him bum status on his skills, us haters just don't like his personality and the fact he has had said he wants to fight GGG and Canelo and both fighters gave him contracts and all of a sudden BJS is . Usually we just get mad at Andy Lee for losing to him because Lee would fight anyone anytime and hope that a mandatory will take his belt. No offense to BJS skills, same as Eubanks, both are skilled, but don't call out a fighter very publicy and be given the contract, venue, and date you want and then make excuses without expecting any criticism.

Explain?



And explain to me how Lomachenko makes up for a 5 inch height disadvantage and an 11 inch reach disadvantage against a guy who ate everyone of Commey's punches, never had a stamina issue, and who boils himself down to 135......while Loma has to eat himself up to 130?
