Essential The Official Boxing Random Thoughts Thread...All boxing heads ENTER.

Manny will fight a mid-level opponent before the end of the calendar year, then it's on to fighting Spence for another PPV payday. Most likely early Spring of 2020.

Thurman/Porter in a rematch. The loser goes to "Gateway fighter" status.

Don't blame Floyd for these talks, blame this welterweight division

Top 5 WWs this gen vs Top 5 WWs of the last gen... I know which side I'm taking

If a certain prime welterweight was able to back up his talk then we wouldn't be sitting here watching 40 year olds talk about a rematch. These guys should be offended at the fact that a 40 year old senator is letting them know that he can hang with full time boxers in their prime while juggling politics back home

If I'm Crawford instead of the twitter fingers go and beg Bob Arum for that Pacquiao fight.. yeah you won't be the A side but you need a name at this point

I'm supposed to believe that Spence-Crawford is the super money fight of this gen at WW but the combined resume of both fighters at WW does not look convincing

We need some answers :Drinking:

First fight was not one sided Manny won 3-4 rounds, had he been able to buzz floyd a second time who knows how the scores play

Winning 3 rounds out of 12 is one sided lol

Lipinets: Never a Concern To Fight a Southpaw On Short Notice


Should I be impressed cause he fought a journeyman on short notice who happened to be a southpaw?

Since we talking WWs again my man BATB would wash most these cats. Everyone except for Manny for sure.

If we judging fights on rounds and not off eye, it was tactical back and forth, Floyd was able to outthink Manny though

 

[WesCrook]

There is a very noticeable difference between fighters who really put the work in to perfect their craft versus the ones who don't.

Boxing is a full time job

The man got retired by Prov


God forbid he fought a real killer like Swift





Timmy needs a Porter/Spence match, for legacy they fight his style.........But Timmy these days would be a walking L

Yep Thurman beating Manny would have killed all this Floyd vs Manny rematch talk

After Prov he beat JMM who's a bit similar style tto Swift but better

Yep Thurman beating Manny would have killed all this Floyd vs Manny rematch talk

He just needed to make Manny sweat here..........People wanted the man to kick Manny ass as seen with the rhetoric online


The first 7 rounds I had Manny kicking his ass, Thurman couldnt touch him unless he allowed it looking primed as fukk; he tried to walk a running ass nikka to get the ko and lost a round or 2, and nearly got the kill round ten if Thurman aint pull out his mouthguard for full air on the 30 second sprint............


This close match shyt needs to stop though///////

now when i start talking about divisions that arent really that great, ppl will know the ledge

4 years ago or so - i said 147 and 154 were not great divisions


4 years later - 154 was able to sort itself out after floyd dropped the 154 belts he rarely defended and is one of the hottest divisions in boxing; 147 just had a whole generation's rep take a hit because the right fights were not made and a top undefeated prime welter was taken out by an out of prime top welter

He ran for dear life vs JMM, that didnt even appear like the Bradley I know.....


And JMM aint on swift level, its about time to never mention JMM when it comes to greats and comes to manny; JMM has beaten jack shyt except Manny the once when he cheated.......Are we overrating Mikey Ward out here

The whole generation been took a hit as Floyd completely blanked Canelo


Floyd, Chino, and Manny troubles anyone from 160 down......... til this day.......

He came back and humiliated JMM off of his best win. Timmy is retired now, but prime Tim would wash Porter w no issue
