Ehhh...nobody's expecting Paulie to win tho. However people are disliking him so much now that they'll be rooting hard as shyt for Paulie thinking he has a chance (i.e. Hatton vs Mayweather).

i just don't see floyd fighting in september, regardless of the outcome with guerrero. dude hasn't fought 2x a year since 07 when he beat dlh and hatton.

canelo worrying about september i find it funny how much of a cakewalk he, and goldenboy think trout will be since they talking about who they will fight in september. they getting too ahead of themselves with this shyt, im hoping trout win now.

cotto already stated he'll be back in october either in the garden or puerto rico.

shyt unless Trout KO's Canelo he's not gonna win. They aint about to give Trout no decision in San Antonio against Canelo

He got one against Cotto, in New York

WIDE scores too

 

[SuikodenII]

OUCH

GBP aint Dumb....Showtime aint dumb...Floyd aint dumb

Thats the biggest Money fight for all of em itll happen

Plus he's not dumb like Canelo to have a Cotto match set in stone for the future, then Cotto gets his ass whipped by Trout and then Canelo had to save face and fight Trout after laying the ground work to blantantly duck Trout, Mayweather aint falling into that trap being forced to fight the boring no money Trout, to save face, cuz please believe Canelo will be exposed

Awwwwww shyt, Canelo done fukked up...

He made a statement earlier this year refusing to to fight on a Mayweather undercard.

Surely he's going to try and cash out by fighting September 14 which is a Mexican Holiday.

But Mayweather can be an a$$hole an snatch that date up first
(his new contract allows it)

And now since Golden Boy cut ties with HBO. There is nowhere for Canelo to run to.

So hypothetically, Canelo will have to fight Floyd Sept 14 or miss out on another Mexican holiday.


No Canelo fights on the two premier Mexican boxing days?


This nikka Floyd got 'em in a choke hold

Canelo aint even thinking about Floyd for September, he has been calling out Cotto, I'm starting to believe him wanting Mayweather has been a charade

GBP aint Dumb....Showtime aint dumb...Floyd aint dumb

How much is Canelo truly worth............................






He's in for a rude awakening vs Trout and not another Hispanic, which is once again on Showtime and not ppv

Haymon fighters dont get jobbed, ever , and it will only be that much worse for Canelo since he trying to pull the rug under Haymon star Mayweather, and pump faking at the same time.

now no one thought hatton had a chance to beat mayweather

 

[Rev]

now no one thought hatton had a chance to beat mayweather

that's not what i'm saying. i'm saying that people disliked Floyd so much that they forced themselves to believe Hatton had a solid chance to beat him...because they hoped so badly that he'd lose.

u just said the same shyt but in different wording

ALOT of ppl thought hatton had a solid chance whether they liked floyd or not

you making it sound like everyone knew hatton was gonna get his ass kicked but cause they hated floyd so much they forced demselves into thinking otherwise

 

[L68]

man im hyped for rios alvarado 2..



im wondering about those cuts on alvarados cheek tho..if he gets hit will they tear open

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

Hatton had a better chance of beating Floyd, then Paulie has of beating Broner.

That Rios/Alvarado rematch finna be

well im sure now erik morales's boxing career in the US is prolly done

The United States Anti-Doping Agency has issued a two-year ban to former four-division titleholder Erik Morales of Mexico for his multiple drug test failures preceding an Oct. 20 rematch against junior welterweight titlist Danny Garcia at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y.

The ban, however, means little because Morales, 36, has said he has no plans to ever fight again in the United States. Morales has no plans to fight the ban and has said that should he take another fight -- a possible farewell bout -- he would do so in Mexico, which is not bound by the ban. Nonetheless, USADA announced the ban on Friday.

According to USADA, Morales tested positive for the banned substance Clenbuterol in two separate urine samples collected out of competition on Oct. 3 and Oct. 10 at his training camp in Mexico. Clenbuterol is a prohibited anabolic agent under the USADA Protocol for Olympic and Paralympic Movement Testing.

The positive tests came to light in the days leading up to the fight but for reasons that remain unclear the New York State Athletic Commission and Golden Boy Promotions, which promotes both fighters, allowed the bout to go forward. Morales blamed the positive tests on eating tainted beef.

Garcia (25-0, 16 KOs), of Philadelphia, had asked Morales (52-9, 36 KOs) to accept USADA's random blood and urine testing protocol during the lead-up to the fight. State commissions have their own rules for drug testing for professional boxing, some more lenient than others, but none have regular random blood and urine testing. So fighters have increasingly made comprehensive anti-doping programs done by independent agencies such as USADA part of their fight contracts.

Garcia, who defeated Morales by unanimous decision to win a vacant 140-pound title (which had been stripped from Morales for failing to make weight) in March 2012, elected to fight the rematch even though he knew about the failed tests. He brutally knocked Morales out in the fourth round in what figured to be the long-faded Morales' last shot at a world title.

"USADA conducts testing programs for professional boxing matches only when both athletes contractually agree to participate in the anti-doping program, which stipulates agreeing to abide by the applicable anti-doping rules, including the rules regarding the adjudication process and sanctioning," USADA said in its statement announcing the ban. "Morales' contractual agreement for this anti-doping testing program included his acknowledgement that USADA would be the results management authority to adjudicate any adverse analytical findings in accordance with the rules.

"In addition, the appropriate boxing commission was notified prior to the fight, and within 48 hours of USADA receiving the information, that there was a potential anti-doping rule violation.

"Morales has been offered the opportunity to participate in the full, fair legal process under the rules, but has indicated to USADA that he would not like to move forward with the independent arbitration process, and as a result, has received a two-year period of ineligibility and the disqualification of all competitive results obtained subsequent to October 3, 2012, including the forfeiture of any medals, points and prizes."

Morales will go down as one of Mexico's best fighters, having won world titles at junior featherweight, featherweight, junior lightweight and junior welterweight and engaging in numerous crowd-pleasing fights, including memorable trilogies with Manny Pacquiao and Mexican rival Marco Antonio Barrera.
