    Default "2009 Pressure Fighters!"

    Hi folks.I'll start by wishing all of you "HAPPY NEW YEAR!" as its only hours away from the end of one year and the start of another.


    What im asking is,Which boxer will have the most pressure on himself in the new year of 2009??And why soooo??


    I can quickly name two,


    1)Calzaghe on weather he'll want to quit or to continue trying to head toward the great Rocky Marciano unbeaten record of 49 undefeated fights!
    2)David Haye on trying to sort out the heavyweight division once and for all due to the fact that the divivsion being a joke!!


    Please be honest!!!Thanks,Happy new year too!

    David Haye is going to have the most pressure on him because he's trying to prove himself at a different weight class AND he's fighting a guy he has no chance vs.


    Joe Calzaghe has no pressure because he has beaten guys he should have fought 10 years ago and the talent is much younger and still developing at 168-175. I figure if he fought Jermain Taylor it would be a good fight but other than that he really doesn't have a good foe to make money off of.

    I think Calzaghe has alot of pressure for 2009.He is the only present boxer at this present moment in time to have a good old crack at leveling or even breaking the great Rocky Marcinao 49 unbeaten fight record.I mean Calzaghe must be thinking to himself,"Can i done it,can i become a legend?"There's another factor that Calzaghe will be thinking of too,if he retires just short of Marciano's record he'll always be thinking"WHAT IF I CONTINUED,COULD I HAVE BEATEN THE RECORD?"Thats a lot of pressure to live with i think,just put yourself in his shoes for a little moment.I think he'll be chewing over the situation over and over again!!!

    Happy New Year to you too!

    Amir Kahn - On a tough comeback trail, knowing he's got a chink in his armor...the glass chin.

    Juan Manuel Lopez - Added pressure once the tomato can varieties stops queuing up his aisle, and replaced by testers, ones who can put a test on his ring savvy for 12 rounds.

    Manny Pacquiao - Additional pressure, as always, in proving his detractors wrong. And to establish his true legacy in the sport of boxing, having had just a few remaining active years left in his "boxing “career.

    Floyd Mayweather - Pressure to win first comeback fight after the fake retirement. Prove that he is still the P4P king. Back-up all his substantial press releases.

    Miguel Cotto - Pressure to psyche himself and be convinced, that he still got what it takes to get back in the saddle - get on the glory road.

    That is it on the spur's notice.

    I think there is a lot of pressure on Cotto, if he cant beat Margarito he will never be able to be an undisputed champ....He is a talented fighter and I do like him...

    Cotto is trapped at 147...He cant go back down to 140 due to weight issues and I think he is too small to even think about moving up to 154....

    Yuriorkis Gamboa is being put on the bullet train to higher competition and boxing celebrity status, almost all of his fights have been televised.

    Manny Pacquiao will have a ton of pressure on his shoulders as well, even though I expect him to take it well, there's nowhere to go but down or retire from where he's at, it's the unfortunate reality of being the top of the game.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    Agree with Pacquiao...how do you top that Delahypa fight and the 'event' effect.Also maybe Oscar himself,Can he just walk away clean and not be tempted to cling to the limelight with some deminished skills?

    Cotto off of that physical and emotional defeat.He should not even entertain a trek to 154.Might include Mijares as well....just dominated and fought such the wrong fight vs. Vic.

    Cotto because he was at the top of the boxing world and how he's been dropped down.

    It's gonna be a monstrous wall he had to climb.

    Lot's of criticisim will come after his performance vs. Jennings.
    If he loses forget about it...
    If he wins it wont be good enough...

    He has to either beat Margarito or beat another top name.

    I personally would 1st like to see him fight Soto-Karass or the winner of Hlatshwayo vs. Delvin... because I think those fighters will bring out the best of Cotto.

    How big is Manny's cock?...

    Judging from your butthole, it looks like 3 inches thick.
