glad I turned it off the second they went into the interview with Ward considering the posts I've read in this thread

HBO is really a shadow of its former self, and it only happened within the span of less than a year

"Gennady fights exclusively on HBO. I think the Quillin fight can be made. Gennady is clearly above where Quillin is at right now. He's a much more popular fighter and sells more tickets. No disrespect to Peter, he's a great champion and he's fought at the Barclays Center before and he fights on Showtime, but if the fight is going to be made it's going to be made on HBO, because we feel they have a bigger budget, and get the higher ratings, and a performance like this tonight - we feel that it will be on HBO," Loffler said.

He didn't suspect Manny of cheating. He just didn't want to fight a southpaw who had power, was just as fast with hands and feet, who could potentially beat him.

Like he DIDNT WANT to fight Canelo? Like he is afraid of a guy who struggled with a guy he dominated?

We gotta talk about this shyt here in THIS THREAD because its all relevant! nikkas always talkin bout such and such is scared but when fights get made then they point back to some old bullshyt.

Canelo is equally if not more dangerous than Pac in terms as threat to Floyd.

random blurb....I dont know how yall feel but I have NEVER liked Rafael. he only states the obvious. he has no creativity and is afraid to go out on a limb. he got his gig with ESPN and that affords him reliable and speedy sources. Personally I have never had much use for the guy. Teddy on the other hand...yes...he should be on HBO or Showtime. Also...I miss Tuesday Night Fights on USA with Al Albert and the champ Sean O'Grady.

Center self, inner self
Lol there's never a moment when floyd isn't scared or ducking someone
gotta love it

fukk off

These media fakkits won't be happy unless Floyd beats Canelo,Pacquiao,Martinez,GGG,Broner,Matthysse,Ward,Garcia and the Klitschkos the same fukking night. It's a miracle Floyd even puts on a pair of gloves seeing how this nikka is so scared. A miracle the nikka can even sleep at night.

Exactly

Nice of Lampley to bury Rigo too during that segment talking about how boring he is. I'd watch Rigo give boxing clinics over the typical bullshyt HBO been putting out recently.

Agreed. I like Rigodeaux's style a lot. Would love to see him fight more.

Rigo is not a boring fighter tho. It's not his fault when his opponents don't really try to bring the fight to him. Especially like what happened when he fought donaire. How can you blame rigo when he's putting hands on him and donaire's just walking after him throwing only one punch at a time?

Agreed! When you're that skilled a fighter, it's hard to find opponents who'll sell out.
