I change my mind about Peter Quillin
I dont like to change my tune but after reviewing Quillin's career set, I have a totally different view..
He's certainly not the best MW lol nowhere near it.. it's like watching a fine ass girl but once u fuck her and see her naked, u realize she's not what u thought she was..
I was studying him real closely and im thinking, Floyd would beat him...
If Floyd wants to do something spectacular and shut everybody up, he should fight Quillin.. EZ fight to make too..

I think Quillin would win by ko... Quillin is really a ready Super Middle that should be a LH, but decides to fight at MW because he can and he can stay in shape for it.
Re: I change my mind about Peter Quillin
Floyd fighting Quillin would be akin to Jones fighting Ruiz. Public perception is that Quillin is the weakest of the champs at 160, like Ruiz was at the time Jones beat him. That perception probably mirrors reality too. It's still a risk though, yet one that is likely to go unrecognized. So you end up with the risk of fighting someone 2 weight divisions above you without the cache that comes with 'Heavyweight Champion of the World' that Jones got. Why wouldn't Floyd just fight Shawn Porter? Wouldn't the risk reward deal be about the same?
Also your analogies are fairly cringeworthy.
Re: I change my mind about Peter Quillin
Quillen-Floyd like Ruiz-RJJ?!?!?!
Petey can punch man...he's much more of a dangerous fighter than John Ruiz was.
That said Floyd will never fight a middleweight
Re: I change my mind about Peter Quillin
I think Quillin would smother him and maul him... Quillin won't be afraid of taking a shot and will catch Floyd in the cross-hairs.

Re: I change my mind about Peter Quillin
I like Quillen and his herky jerky nature, give him time he could get to world class.

He is a gritty type of fighter than just works out wins.... he is a gritty winner... a mix between Trinidad/Hagler/Hopkins...
Re: I change my mind about Peter Quillin
... also, even though Wright was old, he beat Wright to the punch and showed some boxing and counter-punching ability. Winky Wright is no slouch and slick boxer and was known for his defensive skills primarily... those defensive skills don't go easily and prolongs careers.
Re: I change my mind about Peter Quillin
Quillen is refreshing compared to many pompous boxers I hear lately. I'm a fan of his partly due to his personality. I was disappointed with his performance against Rosado. I think I built him up so much in my head I was expecting a blowout. Still, he got the win and I expect to see good things from him in the future.

Wright hadn't fought for 3 years :p
Re: I change my mind about Peter Quillin
I like the kid. Within a years span he accomplished alot and got his name in the mix. I cannot understand why he takes so much shat as its not like he is being whorishly pushed or glorified, hyped as something he is not but simply progressing and staying humble ??? The N'Dam fight was a quality title effort and a damn good fight. He has shown consistent power from early round to late rounds and has shown he is a decent counter puncher, a bit of a trap boxer as seen with Rosado. He was walking Rosado into his own posing, rowdy and wreckless momentum ffs. I look forward to his next go.

I remember a thread from last week stating Quillin was the #1 middleweight :-X

I've seen similiar about Golovkin, who has been called "Tyson and Chavez-like" on premiere networks...4 fights ago :-X Forums are filled with all kinds of..'stuff'. Martinez still trumps them both.

Agreed but that is the reason Quillin is getting some shat on him :lickish:
