who are some fast handed fighters we dont hear about much? Ed Hopson was like a mini meldrick taylor. But didn't live to his potential

Brook of that night gives any welter of today issues even tho I think pac, (obv) spence and crawford take it. Thing is he's been out for 8 months yet he insists he isn't retired

kell would have given floyd a hell of a fight and it should have happened...thats why i hate how brook's career turned out...he got ruined because of politics and a foolish decision

Yall dont know shyt about boxing.....Brook size won him 5-7 rounds vs Porter who was a small Welter then and nothing more, and barely won....This was a time when Porter wasnt getting credit for his sloppy work, and it wasnt appreciated

Brook doesnt survive the WW gauntlet in 2019 without taking 5 or so losses, pre ggg or not....

hell no it wasnt...just a hungry fighter...ramirez getting dropped 30 secs into the fight was shocking...a 10-8 round in a 4 round fight means youre in the hole quick but he showed no urgency and nothing

Been telling nikkas for years to stop overrating these fukking Cuban boxers. 80% percent of them never live up to the potential set for them.

A fukk ton of em never adapt to the pros. Even the ones like rigo who do end up with no mas or lara getting faded by carlos molina. Gone are the days of casamayor

Casamayor
Rigo
Gamboa
Lara

are the only Cuban boxers we've had in the pros recently that were worth a damn and only 2 of those names are HOF quality.

Lara got all them skills, but letting Molina put consistent hands on him. :hhh:

I agree with your point mostly, 5 losses is a little much, but Brook gets overrated on here. He had some ok skills, but talking about the guy like if he hadn't fought GGG he would have ran through Welter is crazy talk. Brook got stopped by Spence, and I can't see him beating Crawford, Pac, or Thurman. Honestly I don't know if he wouldn't have struggled against Danny Garcia either. His size helped him greatly.

Don't think anyone around here thinks he runs through welter. Just that he gives em all problems. He gave spence fits and spence may well be the best of the bunch who knows. I think he loses to pac craw and maybe thurman tho

Gamboa was the most disappointing for me. He had all the damn tools. Hell you see that dude fight night champion rating? At the time I wouldn't have argued against it. But he fukked up royally. Domestic abuse cases and his promo cafuffle.
