It doesn't happen all that often, but every once in awhile there comes along a fight between a classy fighter and a loudmouth punk who actually thinks he's larger than boxing. Two classic examples that come to mind are:
Tszyu-Judah
Barrera-Hamed
You poll the boxing world, and over 90% are going to openly (or secretively) cheer the two class acts that for one unforgettable night, plugged the hole on those two faces.
ODLH-the douche with the huge mouth Mayorga.Quote:

Oh yeah. I'm not a DLH fan. But I gotta admit.... Mayorga had it coming to him after all that foul-mouthed tirade against DLH. A classic case of a huge mouth being shut.Quote:

:coolclick: totally agree the thing about mab is that he isn't a load mouth but his a total jerk. but i was glad he shut hamed up big time.Quote:

Barrera went over and hugged Morales after teh decision was announced in the 1st fight when everyone in the arena knew Barrera had won. What attitude ?Quote:

I remember tito said something to vargas with real conviction as they walked back to theyr corners..
But if im honest i never saw any of the build up to tito - vargas all i know is that tito kept calling him a baby ..lol
But you know me..I'll argue about just about anything but if i dont know about it i keep my mouth shut lol ;) :P
Can you tell me what happened pre tito vagas?
Peace
No way.. Barrera had about 8 rounds on morales that fight easy...Quote:

And after all that barrera still went to shake his hand at the end and ended up getting morales' water bottle thrown at him..
I disagree with cotto - malignaggi..Quote:

But after putting on such a show.. and afterwards he was a true gent.. I really like malignaggi i dont care what people say..He took his first defeat like a real man and agreed cotto was the better fighter etc..

I seem to remember Morales saying in the postfight interview with Merchant that it was a great fight, that no one deserved to lose, that Barrera had fought an unbelievable fight and deserved a rematch, that Barrera deserved to be a champion, etc.Quote:

After all that, Barrera goes to talk with Merchant, and instead of returning the kind words, he said in Spanish, "I want everyone to know that HBO's champion (Morales) isn't any good."
That's sour grapes.
I wasn't talking about the 3rd fight, I was talking about the first. After the first fight, things got ugly between Barrera and Morales, and they both insulted each other all the time.Quote:
