C26 Run

Yet another smart pick, Sweat has all the tools to be great. On paper, this defense has everything it needs on all three levels. Our defensive staff, especially Manusky, has a big spotlight on them. Other than injury, there's no reason why this Defense can't be a top 10.

RIP Bert Sugar, a true historian of boxing. Thank you always. :helmet:

HAPPY BE-LATED BIRTHDAY! to one of the greatest heavyweights of all time. You, Me, We-a short poem by Ali. :helmet:

Oh please Pac will be manipulated again to fight someone he could beat easily. :helmet:

Which doesn't erase the controversy of the previous fights, if Pac does fight Marquez on May 5th what will it really prove? Arum knows that Mayweather would expose Pac. :helmet:

No surprise there. I thought he was looking for May before this continuance was granted. , just proves that Arum is full of it. :helmet:

Bob Arum doesn't want to expose Manny to the beating Floyd would give him. Arum spent months taking Mayweather to task for "ducking" Pacquaio. Now with this stroke of good luck and incredible good fortune given to Floyd, Arum would've been in the prime position to take advantage. Arum never wanted Mayweather to fight Pac, let's just face it. Arum will manipulate Pacquaio into believing he needs to fight Marquez for a 4th fight. Even though Pac won the first three. http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id/7432860/floyd-mayweather-jr-avoids-jail-time-june http://twitter.com/#!/danrafaelespn :helmet:

Of course I was exaggerating, but there is no way Pacquaio should have a score of 116-112 over Marquez. :helmet:

Just so I'm clear, you don't think judges can be corrupted? I'm not saying JMM dominated this fight, I posted that at best he won a split decision. But one judge scored the fight 116-112, are you kidding me? At worse, this fight should be a draw but not a majority decision for either fighter. :helmet:

JMM could've knocked down Pacquaio 100x and they still were going to give it to Pacquaio. It's really sad too because at worst this fight was a draw. JMM should've been announced as the split decision winner but that Mayweather fight against Pacquaio took precedence. How the hell could a judge score 116-112, what fight was he watching? BTW, if Pacquaio fights Mayweather like he fought Marquez then Mayweather will retire undefeated. :helmet:

I'm sure Skip Baseless agreed with Bob Arum without knowing Arums' history. :helmet:

I actually somewhat agree with you, but this has nothing to do Hip Hop or the generation of Hip Hop. It's about Arum. Arum says a lot of bs that nobody is able to correct him on. I want the fight to happen for boxing's sake. I could care less about either man's legacy, the sport is bigger than both. My post was about what Arum had to say. Not the "take the test ploy" as you described. I think boxing needs this fight to happen and unfortunately Arum will make a huge profit if it does happen. :helmet:

http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/story/_/id/7153089/floyd-mayweather-manny-pacquiao-fight-never-happen If anyone truly and I mean truly believe what nonsense Bob Arum is saying then I got some great land in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean to sell you. Arum is one of the biggest bigots and racist in this sport. He'll continue to goad Mayweather and talk all his crap but Arum is nothing more than a pile of scum and human waste. Arum has said many racist things in the past, his comments on MMA being the most recent. To understand the comments that Arum makes, you have to understand the man. He's a disgusting individual that unfortunately makes a lot of money off that backs of people stepping into the ring. It is so easy to call a man a coward when it is not you that is stepping into that ring. :helmet: , this link further explains the disgusting nature of Arum.

Agreed but Lee failed himself, that wasn't all Steward. Cotto was always a great fighter but until Steward taught him footwork, he was nothing more than a statue that punch really hard and pick you apart. I also agree about Dawson, that's his biggest problem. The switching of trainers has always been a detriment to many boxers. One of the reasons Floyd has remained undefeated is his trainer, Roger. :helmet:

Cotto and Dawson will lose both of their fights because they are separated from a great manager in Steward. Steward is one of the great trainers and students of the game, and they'll both suffer the consequences of his absence. I'm a big fan of both but they are crazy to let him go.
