thurman a good guy but he couldn't sell himself to me, if he was on a shamwow infomercial and have the #1 smoothie machine, he's just not marketable to me.

no way a grown man wearing a ponytail who talks wit a lisp and sits on top of hills playing harry potter flutes being taken serious by casuals/hardcore fans.


I disagree. Thurman is very marketable being that he is a trash talking, undefeated Champion, who's a KO artist.


His PBC ratings tell the story...he has 2 of the 3 highest viewed fights, as the A-Side, in PBC history and will have 3 of the 4 come March 4th (as the A-Side still). He even did 1.2 million vs the corpse of Luis Collazo on PBC on ESPN.


He's definitely a marketable fighter.

wilder is another one, who just isn't marketable either. none of these guys are charismatic, no personality and none have the "it" factor.

:wtb: was all that necessary............ :heh:

Nah...you must've forgot that SOG doesn't like Frochy Froch at all. Ward doesn't sugar coat his opinion, he would've called GGG out to fight Froch if he felt like how you're saying. Instead, he's saying he heard Froch is coming out of retirement, so he needs to fight GGG.



Don't forget, Frochy Froch went INTO retirement trying to bash SOG and make him look "scared" to come overseas and fight him in his backyard. im sure SOG aint forgot
:salute:

Yep.

Basically before he officially retired Foch had offers to fight GGG at 168 at Wembley and Ward with location to be negotiated (basically anywhere but Nottingham) and Froch decided to retire. If Froch wanted to retire, i dont call those ducks...but he talked about them so much they feel like ducks...and he has made it seem like GGG and Ward ducked him.

Plus didnt he have the opportunity to get down with DeGale too?

1st off Porter>>>Inactive Kirkland with a year ring rust and without Wolfe :childplease:

Yeah Froch got a better resume than GGG, but he's not more dominant.

Just like Oscar got a better resume than Floyd, but Floyd was wayyyy more dominant against the nikkas he fought and actually rematched his close fights, something Froch ain't do with Dirrel who he got a bigger hometown gift than Swift did against Herrera (who everyone likes to bring up and shyt on Danny for)

Froch only dominated Bute who we now know ain't shyt. Other than that he goes life and death with everyone else of note and basically wins because he's a lil tougher than his opponent.

Froch is more proven than GGG, true, but he a bytch for trying to play match maker when he already turned down the fight and ducked a Ward rematch his damn self.

When we talking about HOF and skill level, comp only means so much if you dominating them 70% of the time.

nikkas wanna give props for having a bunch of close fights with guys similar to your level, that doesn't impress me like that. Yeah, you took the fight, but you gotta dominate now.

I'm not even trying to talk about GGG like that because their ain't much to say, but if you can't see that Eubanks, BJS, and Canelo ducked him, then there's no reason to even go further.

#ConsistencyCops


Who in God's name wanted to see a rematch between him and Ward? He got SCHOOLED.

Nobody on this board or in boxing thinks GGG is trash....but his team cannot keep their mouths shut. Abel Sanchez makes ridiculous statements about ko'ing SMW's or LHW's BUT HIS FIGHTER WON'T FIGHT SOMEONE AT A HIGHER WEIGHT. So it's ok to say you can fight anyone at 154-168 (their words not mine)....but then pull "unification" when asked about moving up. Dude is 34 now come on.

If he wants to stay at MW cool no issue...but like Bernie Mac said " therefore shut..the ...don't speak to me no mo". Just stay at MW and keep the:duck: away from the press clippings.

Porter is nice but limited. Dude eats punches but I said to several friends he is a walking KO at 154 even with his stocky build. He walks in straight ( peep how many times he squared up vs Thurman).....now watch him vs a Charlo twin J-Rock or Andrade or Canelo.
