So Mosley could push Margarito back and over power him, but when Floyd manhandled Mosley in the clinch, and beat him from pillar to post and appeared a whole weight division above Mosley, you truly think he couldn't do the same to Margarito.......


Margarito damn near was begging FMJ for a fight, when he got his chance he ducked, not only that this muthafukker probably been cheating his whole life so I dont want to hear, the but but but about Margarito, even though thats my nikka

like someone mentioned earlier, yall give Floyd an automatic win against an opponent he wont step in the ring with because they lose or struggle against an opponent Floyd beat...

fukk that hypothetical unprovable bullshyt. I aint trying to hear what Floyd woulda done and coulda done while Floyd AINT retired and could easily make/have made any of these matches happen...

at ANYBODY ducking Floyd

Margarito aint want it with Floyd one bit, he would have made a career high pay day......



Mayweather didn’t duck Margarito or Cotto




If Margarito was so confident in beating lil Floyd don't you think he would have took that 8 million. I bet he's kicking himslef over that one these days



Margarito ducked Floyd, and every other nikka like Tszyu, Manny, Cotto, and Margrito ducked Floyd he all called them out............

I hope you're just trolling....

Margerito publicly called out Floyd... so did Cotto... AND Manny

Floyd chose to fight Baldi and De La Hoya instead.. retire.. come back out retirement to fight Hatton then retire again

Rigondeaux - Poonsawat fight is called off because Poonsawat tested positive for HIV



Sources: Poonsawat Reportedly Tests Positive For HIV - Boxing News


Man I was looking forward to seeing Rigo in the ring again tomorrow night.

Is someone going to hook us up with a stream for the Khan - Molina fight or a link after the fight? Can't decide if I want to watch the Donaire - Arce fight or the Khan - Molina fight.

Also, don't forget, boxing is coming back to network television (CBS) tomorrow afternoon brehs.

Larry Merchant, HBO's fearless, cantankerous and often controversial boxing analyst, is stepping out of the ring after a 35-year run.

Merchant, 81, will work his last fight Saturday night during a "World Championship Boxing" card in Houston, Texas.

Merchant's contract was set to expire soon. "Both sides decided it was as good a time as any to do this," one boxing source said. "They will part company on good terms."

"It is extraordinary to reflect on all Larry Merchant accomplished at HBO Sports," HBO Sports boss Ken Hershman said in a statement. "We've been honored to have him as a colleague and he'll always be a member of the HBO family.

It has been announced that legendary HBO boxing commentator Larry Merchant is leaving HBO. While the story is still developing, it is not clear as to what happened but he has claimed that he has no plans to retire. Other reports indicate that he may still appear on HBO on an occasional basis, but that seems highly unlikely. Regardless, Saturday night may be the last time we ever get the chance to hear the voice of Larry Merchant covering a professional prized fight.

For decades Larry Merchant has been ringside for the biggest fights in boxing. Some people hate him, but most people love him. Sure, he had a tendency to ramble on a little too long and sometimes the things he said just didn't make any sense at all. However, most of the time he was the most entertaining and informative commentators that the sport has ever seen. Saturday's fight will truly mark an end of an era.

Without Larry Merchant ringside, that means HBO will showcase more of Max Kellerman. The younger audience may relate more to Kellerman than they ever did to Larry Merchant, but others find Kellerman just downright annoying. He is not anywhere near the aggressive interviewer that Merchant was and at times it is obvious that he lacks the knowledge that Merchant possesses.

Whether he was telling Floyd Mayweather that he wishes he was younger because he'd whoop his ass or whether he was entertaining us during a boring fight, Larry Merchant has given us many memories that boxing fans will remember forever. He will truly be missed if Saturday is indeed the last time he will ever be ringside providing color commentary for a boxing match.

As for Max Kellerman, it remains to be seen if he will be a success as a fulltime commentator. Some people love him, some people hate him, but he definitely does not have anywhere near the amount of fans or respect that Larry Merchant had.

Thats not the point. Even during his early fights u werent giving dude any cred. I dont know if its because he isnt from US or he's Pakistani and not the usual black or hispanic, but you have it against him for some reason. It cant be him just as a boxer. I cant figure it out.

And with regards to Mayweather. If Khan and Mayweather fought, I think Mayweather would win on points, But you listen to me and you listen to me good, there aint a motherfuker out there who Khan cant rock with his ferocious, almost inhumane hand speed.

The longer the fight goes, the less chance Khan would have of winning but if Khan catches Floyd early on.............

I dont know breh

I like watching Khan fight but you're going overboard with dudes skills . . Mayweather would finish him, khan would be lucky if it went to 12 rounds, more likely khan would be tired by 8, and get KO'd. .
