Rosado claims 3G tampered with gloves

[armin]

This is one of the annoying things sports fans do "why now", as if it would have been better at any time. If he said it directly after the fight it would have been an excuse in the eyes of fqns. If he said it before the fight happened fans would have said he was looking for a way out/scared.

You don't agree with his question that's fine but nobody has more right than a man who stood in there and faught to ask the question. Whenever he chooses, he earned that right by stepping between the ropes.

Uhm I guess you missed the part where it said that golovkin offered him to wear those gloves and he would wear the backups. I don't care who you are if you genuinely thought your opponent wore tampered gloves you would make a stink right then and there regardless of consequence just like shanes corner did with margarito.

This is exactly my point. We don't know how he felt at the time so we interpret and conject. Why can't what a guy says ever just be how he feels? I don't agree with the guy but I'm not going to go making up his thoughts in my own mind. Sports is less about sport and more about interpretation every day.

Because in this instance its not about how he feels, its about accusing another boxer of wrong doing with apparently no factual claims behind it but just his feelings.

I apologize I am not expressing my point well. And I further apologize that this is going to be a very long explanation.

Sports debate is nolonger about the sport. Its ever changing qualifyers turn everything to mush. In this case it's "why now" as if we know why or is if it matters. It is what it is, it's how he feels. People can agree or disagree. I choose to disagree. But to dismiss his feeling with your choice of qualifyer means you can come to any opinion you choose. That's fine too but there is a false sense in sports debate that the qualifyer is valid.

Take for instance year ago the debate was Chauncey Billups or Steve Nash for MVP. All hard evidence pointed to Chauncey so people said "but Chauncey played with better players so he isn't as valuable". That's a false criteria used to make the claim you choose. Almost every MVP in history proves that qualifyer is irrelevant. But in this pick and choose age that's how it's done and somehow it's deemed right because that was the criterea for that instance.

Look at the year Michigan and Ohio State were #1 and #2 they played a great game and this one time qualifyer was put in that "people don't want to see a rematch". That was the qualifyer that year. What happened to that qualifyer the year LSU rematched Bama. You can make the case Bama and LSU were the best teams but people thought the same about Michigan and Ohio State years before they simply changed criteria. For that matter LSU had a better year than Bama, they played a rougher schedule and won more games and the conference title and Bama only beat them on a neutral field while LSU beat Bama at Bama which is much harder. LSU had a better year in total but the criteria is throw the whole away for the last which is faulty as well.

After all that I still haven't expressed the point well but I'll say he said it he must believe it. Agree or disagree but don't qualify. It's gone too far with sports debate into what athletes think say and do. Has anyone noticed on a boxing forum not one thread on the first page is discussing the boxing aspect of a single boxing match that has happened? It's not this site alone, others are the same. Are we boxing fans or boxer fans? Do we like the sport or the debate?

*3g's been knocking dudes out since the amatuers...he's perfected his craft. Rosado pro says"that muthafka hits toooo hard" well, join the club.

I hope this is not true, opponents will be closely observing him from now on.

Its all posturing for posturing's sake to preserve his ego. Like when he was in the ring with Quillen and kept eating jabs but didnt want to look clueless so he lands one punch and starts fainting and dropping his hands and trying to bait Quillen while hes still out of range. He got some cheers and a little fan support but it didn't change the fact that he landed one punch did a victory dance while not throwing anything for about 20 seconds when he should have been attacking a fighter he had second guessing...

I'm not a fan of either guy, however Rosado could have gotten some work done against quillen if he used his footwork, and faints and counters better. Quillen is as stiff legged as they come...

[Beanflicker]

It was a bad play by Rosado all around, because unless you have some substantiating evidence, you're just going to sound like a sore loser. Very bad timing, as I'm sure he gained a lot of fan support coming off a real impressive showing.

[p4pking]

Exactly, stop whining and worry about the good fight you just lost, gun for a rematch, whatever.

[Vendettos]

How can you question a pair of gloves that you could have worn if you wanted?

Surely if you tampered with the gloves you would hide them like a rash on your cock?

Stupid.

[walrus]

Is there a follow up with this. Is there sometime of investigation with it. I don't think GGG needs to do such a thing and I think Rosado is is just running his mouth. It is a serious accusation against someone especially with recent tragedies in the ring. I would be pissed if I were GGG.
