Just watched ESPN Classic Boxing, an '03 fight where Panchito Bojado knocked out Frankie Santos in 10. Anybody know what happened to Bojado's career? In the fight I just saw he's 19 years old with lots of talent and they were comparing him to De La Hoya. I read he was later signed to Golden Boy, but he hasn't fought since 2007.
And speaking of "next De La Hoya" types ... Where is Vicente Escobedo?
He ended up being lazy training and after a few hard fights he gave up.
I remember when Leija spanked him. It was funny, people really bigged up Bojado, but he sucked.
not really, the talent was there, he just was too much of a lazy ass and was weak mentallyQuote:

Escobedo I guess lost to Katsidis correct if im wrong.
yup, he put up a good showing at first, but then faded, doesn't seem to have a strong mental build up nor is he as good as he was first being built up to beQuote:

Yeah and I'd be an all time great if I was motivated to train hard and had the mental fortitude to live it....
He fucking sucked.
funny how you're the only one who thinks soQuote:

if you fail to recognize raw talent shown at the beginning of Bojado's pro career or even from his excellent amateur career it show's you're as blind as a batQuote:

funny thing is then you actually believe Haye has a chance of beating anyone in the top 5 in the HW division :-X
First of all I agree with you El Terrible Bojado had raw talent but no drive to make himself the best he could be, but David Haye whether you like it or not, is in the top 5 HW's in the world and beats all the rest for me with the exception of "maybe" the Klits. Not sure about them as I think the fight with Wlad is basically a case of who connects on who clean first and with Haye's speed and lack of roboticness I do favour him, Vitali on the other hand I feel causes Haye more problems due to his good punch resistance, but he has started to show signs of decline and I think he may be ready for the taking for a young, fast powerful HW like Haye!Quote:

Well where's bojado now? I rest my case.
Look it's simple, you can big up the guy all you like but where is he now? He got beat by an old man in Leija and he faded away. Great fighters don't do that. Fuck, good fighters don't do that.
At least with Haye we have a wait and see factor. Where as with Bojado his career is what it is, done and dusted with little to talk about other than his hype being destroyed by an old man who then went on to get smashed up in his next fight. Who cares.
Amir Khan had a great amature career and looked brilliant beating up bums and blown up has beens and now has a god damn title. Shall I start screaming that he's brilliant? FUCK NO!
And finally at least I have an opinion it's fairly obvious that you just believe what the majority tell you to. That's quite sad, and doesn't do much for your credibility.
Run a long now sheep boy run a long
