How many times have we've seen a fighter look like a monster against so so opp...only to face a fighter with a better resume N Godzilla ends up not lookin like a monster anymore N takes that L??

my point was more as in resume vs resume dont win you fights... in your example if anything it can go both ways, ive seen a guy who has fought no one beat a guy with a better resume.

Yall sit on here and talk down on Timothy Bradley saying he's a B fighter.........and then we gonna toss KASSIM OUMA in that same category?:dwillhuh:



Nope, not on my watch:ufdup:



Kassim Ouma is at BEST a C- fighter these days.

This the thing breh. When I analyze dudes and rank them it's done at their highest point or steady streak. Ouma at his highest point was a B level fighter. Sure he was past it when he fought GGG. Nobody is claiming GGG fought a prime Ouma. Ouma still was serviceable especially to a guy who experience at the time pales in comparasion.

I crack jokes about Bradley all the time, but I still give him his due and he's always been a B+ level fighter to me. He's pushing close to being A, but it's easy to see what he is because we see all of that now in the present while its happening. Ouma's best days have passed so depending on how you looked at him then, you might not fully respect who he becomes when he's past it. Ya'll acting like GGG just fought him. That fight was back in 2011. Ouma is a bum now of course, but the GGG of now ain't fight this Ouma. That Ouma gave a Vanes all he could handle. This same Vanes nikkas use to hype up Lara with even though he didn;t officially beat dude.

But to each his own :manny:

But the Ouma that GGG fought was STILL 2-4 in his last 6 fights breh:manny:


And, yes, in his PRIME Ouma was a B fighter. He was out of his prime by the time GGG fought him, and was nothing more than a C fighter by that time.


That would be like still calling Zab Judah an A fighter, because that's what he was at his peak.....even though today he's nothing more than a C+ fighter because he's washed up

See and that's how nikkas confuse themselves. If a guy is washed up or past it, I'll just call them that. I'm not gonna start recalculating how bad they've falling off in order to give them a new ranking. They're too many intangibles to do so since some times It's not out of the ordinary for a past it B-level fighter to show glimpses of his former self when he;s matched with a guy who's stepping up or he has the right style that can naturally exploit his opponents weaknesses. That is truly what Ouma/GGG was. Ouma was still having comeptitive fights with other boxers before the GGG fight even though he lost those bouts. Matter of fact Taylor was the last person to really dominate dude completely, he just ain't get the stoppage.

We just have 2 different ways of seeing shyt. Some gone agree with me while others won't.

We basically arguing between whose the better B level fighter between GGG and Jr. If cats wanna say Jr is better because of his resume cool. I think GGG is better because of his skills and how he approaches fights. Jr has not looked impressive enough for me to say he's miles ahead of GGG and his resume is only barely better. That;s really been my whole stance.

We basically did the same thing when we was debating who was better between Maidana and Paulie when in reality ain;t much setting them apart. They both B fighters.

Angulo was past it as hell and nikkas were saying that was gonna be a good fight for Canelo. :mjlol:

How much props can you get for beating a passed his prime C level fighter? If I looked at shyt the way ya'll are, then Canelo really just beat up on a D level fighter. Being past it dropped dude a whole notch. Right?

True, but the fact that a past his prime B level fighter gave him hell and won in some folks eyes proves my point.

You can be past it and not totally washed up and useless. They're levels to this shyt. That passed it Ouma looked better against him then Lara did. :manny:

Yep. He did and Vanes did that lil Jackie Chan kick flip in order to get back up :heh:

nikka was looking embarassed as fukk.

That's the same Ouma a green GGG fought, but but since he's a D level fighter it don't mean shyt. Same D level fighter that beat the best person on Junior's resume 7-8 years ago. :win:

Felix "Tito" Trinidad in ruin because of financial advisor


Felix "Tito" Trinidad, ex-boxer who during his glorious career earned revenue of $ 86 million, is currently in financial ruin due to a series of risky transactions made allegedly without his consent by his financial advisor lifetime, José "Pepe "Ramos, as evidenced by a petition for injunction filed this afternoon at the Court of San Juan.

The injunction present him and his father Tito Trinidad, Felix Trinidad, so that different entities be ordered to desist from charging understand multimillion debts that fell into financial ruin because of bad decisions made without their consent Ramos allegedly.

As alleged in a complaint with the entity Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), which elucidates disputes between investors and which was filed as an attachment to the petition for injunction, Ramos spent almost all the money of the Trinity in different bond portfolios related to the Government of Puerto Rico, which in recent months have suffered a severe crash because of the severe fiscal crisis facing the Commonwealth (ELA).

According to Trinidad, Ramos, who was financial adviser to Trinidad since 1991, had with them a close personal relationship and was even best man Tito, made these transactions even though they had been told they were not interested to take risks with their money and did not want to incur any transaction that would endanger the money earned during his career.

The only interest of Trinidad, according to the complaint with FINRA, was to keep their capital intact and live in fixed interest this generated. The total estimated losses suffered by Tito Trinidad Ramos attributed to the actions was estimated at $ 63 million. Its capital is now estimated at $ 9 million, but has debts of more than three times that amount.

Ramos led transactions while worked in various financial institutions that used in part for being the person in charge of the fortunes of Trinidad, as alleged in the complaint of FINRA. These were Wells Fargo Advisor, UBS and Popular Securities.

After filing the injunction, Banco Popular said to be in the best position to resolve the situation.

"As Puerto Ricans, Popular have great affection for Mr. Felix" Tito "Trinidad and proud that you have chosen us as their financial institution and investment house in recent years," Popular said.

"We know that Mr. Trinidad has faced financial challenges and, therefore, in Popular we have always been at his side offering restructuring options to help alleviate their financial difficulties. We regret that this situation has resulted in the courts, but yet better reiterate our willingness to find a mutually satisfactory solution for both parties. "
