Nah I just want him to stop being a bytch and prove hes greater than Sugar Ray Robinson, Tyson, Ali, and Leonard like he claims...

If he loses, he loses

What all time great don't have a loss?? Calzaghe

every athlete believes he is the best. Lebron said that Michael was better than him but thats when he was tryin to be liked. after that he basically started talkin shyt. I know Lebron feels he is the best. Floyd feels he is the best.

Now realistically speaking. In this decade, which was Floyd's era....who was better? Roy was the best in his era....Floyd is the best in his.

@yawn minor update

tickets on stubhub have gone way down lately, down to even a bit below face value which means its not really in demand and if anything the scalpers are panicking a little

theyre already trying to dump some tickets at a discount but all i can find is standing room only at round 25-30$ at 50% off which will get you in the arena and if its half empty you can probably 'let yourself' into some better seats

The Cotto fight didn't happen in 05 or 06 because he nor his handlers wanted it after what Floyd did to Arturo Gatti . Cotto was ringside looking shook.

I already put up the article multiple times that states why the Margarito nor Cotto fight aint happen in 07 before the Oscar fight.

TR didnt want the fight for Cotto because Floyd was leaving or getting ready to leave. Cotto was TR bread and butter.

As far as Canelo, I aint even talkin bout weight....I am talkin bout how Canelo earn the right to call any shots? He aint no Vernon Forrest. Still, Forrest had a belt in the same division as the p4p champ and held an amateur win over him. Canelo barely beat Trout....and didnt give him a damn rematch clause!

RIP Artie Curry. Dude sounded like an amazing guy to be around.

By Miguel Rivera

The WBA's "super champion" at flyweight, Nicaraguan Roman 'Chocolatito' Gonzalez (35-0, 29KOs), is likely not returning to the junior flyweight division. The boxer flew to Panama on Tuesday to officially pick up his WBA belt, but he informed the sanctioning body that there are no opponents at the weight and plans to make a full jump to the flyweight limit of 112-pounds. One potential opponent being mentioned by his management, says Gonzalez, is WBC flyweight champion Akira Yaegashi (17-3, 9KOs) of Japan. Last weekend Gonzalez stopped Ronald Barrera in five rounds. The bout was fought at 116-pounds, which made many doubt the talented boxer would ever return to 108.

I knew it...plenty of potential dope fights there at Flyweight

Seems like everybody is gunning for Yaegashi........Estrada is the man to beat though IMO

However...Adrian Hernandez, Kazuto Ioka, Donnie Nietes, Moises Fuentes and John Riel Casimero were legitimate A Class opponents at 108...
