- Would pick GGG to win the rematch vs. Canelo.
yup..tiger doesn't change stripes...GGG's no frills boxing is superior to Canelo's..it will be wider than my 116-112 GGG score

- Thought Canelo was out of the fight in the middle rounds. Closed strong (Gave Canelo 2 of the last 3 rounds).
also agreed

- Thoughts on Luis Ortiz? Sick of fighters always having PED stuff.
- Being told that the section on Ortiz's paperwork for medications being taken was left blank.
- Lou DiBella was not happy about the Ortiz situation.
- GB got paid about $1.2 million for Ortiz's contract.
for the talent he has.he has issue with PEDs..shyt is really a disgrace

- Doubtful Danny Garcia fights again this year.
he has no reason to be inactive either

- Being told that Haymon is not part of Jacobs career any more, but out of respect for what Haymon has done for Jacobs they won't say that.
:ehhh:

- Broner vs. Matthysse is just a rumor. Matthysse is not fighting the rest of the year per GB.
rumors can become reality...one day :demonic:

- Joshua vs. Klitschko is his FOTY.
agreed as is mine

- Wilder vs. Stiverne? Wilder KO's him this time.
agreed

- The ESPN card in Fresno is going to be a good card.
also agree

- Briedis vs. Perez? Interesting fight. If Briedis is strong and makes weight okay, he could get the KO.
im hoping mike finds briedis chin and makes it to the top..finally

- Could see Hurd beating up an aging Trout.
i can also see trout winning too..hurd is a little too inexperience right now IMO

-Canelo is washing that one dimensional robot in the match idgaf about what that paddling pool writing for ESPN says

-Second aint nobody scared of Andrade nikkas talkin bout Lara was ducking him.. nah breh just priced himself out of a fight that he needed :umad: . Someone a while back gave Andrade a good shot at beating GGG... :mjlol: :mjlol: :mjlol: GGG would knock him back to 154 purgatory :mjlol: Canelo would do the same thing :mjlol:

-Another Deontay Wilder fight down the drain :mjgrin: . Don't worry, Fury will be back soon and he'll be first on the list :mjgrin:

Loma has the better resume and won more impressively. He looks to have every bit of technical talent and athletic talent. He also isn't chinny and aggressively goes after good fights.

If anything you would think that the argument would be that they both are supremely talented, Loma has more mainstream appealing style than Rigo, and Loma has made better career choices. :manny:

No offense, cause you my breh, but the stupidity in this post is high level.

Loma doesn't have a win close to as good as the 11-1 Rigo put on Donaire. Secondly, I'm sure it was Rigos choice to get blackballed by HBO :scusthov: net worthy post breh

Wilder that nikka man:wow:


Still willing to fight a cheating ass old nikka after he was busted trying to cheat:wow:



:wow:
Damn that fukked up. He really can't catch a break. And still willing to fight Ortiz the suppose boogeyman at HW. My man could've just tried to make the rematch with stiverne and kept it moving but nawl he wanted the boogeyman.

Hopefully he get the AJ unification fight next year because everybody else in the HW on some other shyt

We got the champion who should be getting praise and love in Wilder, and American media and hell half the black US boxing fans content to tear this man down or let him be torn down on some petty ass hating shyt. SMH

Wilder my boy, since I chilled with him at the mall is t-town.
He doesn't deserve this shyt.

Nah, I think we may forever agree to disagree on this one. While you are 100% right that Donaire is the biggest victory either man has and Donaire was legit PFP top 10, Rigo's resume is pretty disappointing outside of that fight. Loma's resume is basically all solid fighters. He doesn't take a fight off by going for an easy out. Now where we can criticize Loma is he needs that true blue blood A level titleholder, like Donaire, but through the short amount of fights Loma's resume is great. There are those of us on the Coli (and I include myself) who love Crawford and Mikey Garcia as fighters, especially PFP wise, are their resumes any better than Loma's. Remember a lot of cats thought Walters was the truth and he would beat Loma. Although I don't agree with the opinion, I bet there are cats who believe Walters > Donaire...until Loma beat Walters.

And I do agree that Rigo has been blackballed. HBO and Arum obviously did, especially when they promoted other guys with similar styles and who weren't getting great ratings...but to me it is also biased to not put any weight on Rigo. If people are 100% honest he made a lot of poor business choices that hurt his career on top of being blackballed. He made a correct career choice in fighting Lomachenko and he will reap the rewards win or lose.

I know @Newzz agrees with me on this one. We both think the world of Rigo and will agree that boxing has done him wrong in many ways, but he also has some self responsibility in some of his career misgivings. Dude career is flawed, just like most boxers careers have flaws. Let's just be happy that Dec. 9th is going to happen because it is going to be a great fight and I want Rigo to get his chance in front of major audiences as well as I think both guys on their A game are top 5 PFP talent.

Can you believe Larry holmes got up from that earnie shavers right hand?

Holmes is one of the most underrated hws of all time. He was right. Technically he was a better fighter than Ali. Just came around a bit late and missed the golden era.

I find it ironic that they only time Rigo faces good opponents is when Arum is involved....but when he's with his own promoter, he's fighting Jackie Chan cousins:sas1:


I guess Arum is the only one in the sport who ever looked out for him:sas2:

Arum had his back and tried to make him something, but once he realized that he couldn't make Rigo a star he blackballed him, because Arum is all about fighters who are "stars". I personally don't give Rigo much shyt for that because in order for Arum to love Rigo, Rigo would have had to change his style and Rigo shouldnot be forced to change his style if it increases the risk for L's.

Now I do have questions on all the rumors of Rigo to Hearn, Haymon, and Roc Nation. Those guys weren't fukking with Arum at the time, so Arum's blackball wouldn't have affected him there. Why didn't he catch on and get something?

I mean I am far from in the know, but there was a time when it seemed like everyone wanted Haymon as their advisor and to be on PBC and Haymon was basically signing anyone with pulse too. With all the crappy cards PBC did have, you mean Rigo, a legit top 10 PFP, couldn't find his way on TV over there. :patrice:

I may need a proper education on that one...but I always figured Rigo should have aligned himself there at all costs. He would have been compensated fairly and squarely been in the mix for Frampton, LSC, GRJ, etc...he only would have risked being inactive, which was already the case.

:yeshrug:
