~ Boxing Notes On Several Fighters ~

[ICB]

For some reason i can't copy and paste what you typed but i'll try and reply to them all.

1 Vitali needs to stay retired he has wasted our time and more importantly wasted time with the boxers who trained there ass, if Vitali did win a belt how would we get a unfication with both brothers as champions ?? that would make the Heavyweight even more of a mess than it is now. Vitali needs to stay retired it would be better for him and his brother and the Heavyweight division.

2 I mentioned i wouldn't mind seeing Golota vs Haye, Golota is highly ranked and its very winnable fight for Haye, plus Golota does have a big name in the Heavyweight division, i wouldn't mind see Haye vs Maskaev either infact any of these 2 fights would be fine for Haye.

3 Bute vs Andrade is a very interesting fight for me and this fight will tell us how good Bute really is, like i have said in the past i think Bute is the dark horse of the SMW divison, he does have good skills and has the ability to out box Andrade but we will see, im picking Bute by 12 UD. But it wouldn't surprise me if Andrade KO'ed Bute.

4 Mundine moving down the Middleweight what the hell ?? you know i think Mundine is a very skilled fighter but he is wasting his career but what can you do ?? i think he would do very well against some of the big names at Super Middleweight.

5 Don't really know much about Mendoza so i can't comment, but Lacy is finished as a fighter but to be honest i didn't think he was half the fighter he was made out to be even before the Calzaghe fight, when he was struggling with the likes of Vanderpool, Sheika, Lacy is a nice guy and has a big heart so you have to respect him, but i have no really interest in Lacy anymore, because like i said IMO he is a shot fighter.

Yes Mundine want's to move to midleweight, he would be very hard to deal with at that weight. HOWEVER i hear today he's trying to get Danny Green out of retirement for a big fight here in Aus - Fuck me dead as Green is apparently considering it.......................

And lastly I just wanted to say that it's bullshit! that Margarito has to vacate his title for the fight vs. Cotto.
Which is why I say f*** these Organizations.
Also it clearly shows that Zab is the IBFs !!

============

Don't worry... I predict Clottey will beat Zab on August 2 for that IBF belt.

Nothing to do with his talent he still has the talent to beat anyone, he has just got weaknesses what no trainer can teach you, like heart, dealing with pressure, mental weakness, etc.

Vitali should just piss or get off the pot .What ever comes of it,there is no way he should just waltz into a title fight,regardless off what happened in the distant past!

For Haye those are some Interesting names there.Off top I actually think Jones might give him some trouble but the cynic in me ask's....does that really qualify as a true heavy weight debut....I can here some saying he's fighting a past Jr.Middle.In respect to Jones though,thats not really fair as he has more proven he can hang with bigger guys...But HeavyI think he needs to go after someone with a direct line to the current Champions...Maskaev would be good but For all his faults at this point,Oleg landing big on Haye could leave him stretched.This one would be interesting!!!

Lacy fighting a shot up past his weight Mendoza say's alot about where Lacy is right now....He is stagnet.Getting no where fighting these re-building re-tooling fights.There were whispers of a Taylor fight...That would be good.

Taylor vs. Froch. I would pick Taylor.Honestly have only seen Froch a couple of times and not over whelmingly impressed,Taylor has quite a bit left and higher weight will benefit him well.

I would keep an eye on Cintron,If you get my drift?Whatever his lapses are in the ring,he seems a very emotional-conflicted person at times.Really sux getting written off that quick.I thought there was mentions of Manny spliting also....He is not without natural physical gifts & skills but mentally he just waivers.

The Peterson brothers are on the cusp...have been there for awhile it seems.I think he would do a number on Raymkulov ...big time!

Margarito could care less about the alphabet boyz little trinkets....He just wants to fight !!..............and yeah,Zab is bought & payed for.....Gatekeeper

What else was there?Man Mick...you could have started about 7 threads with all of that Lol.....good updates & insight cheif

Was reading some boxing notes online and came across several interesting things. So I made this thread to type them up and see if anyone has any comments about some of the things.


- Apparently Sam Peter is waiting for Vitaly to make fight. The fucken WBC has lost it's fucken mind. I thought this shit was over and Vitaly was like a Ukrainian Gov. or something.

- David Haye has yet to confirm an opponent for his fight at HW. Heres some names for him: Taras Bidenko, Timor Ibragimov, Oleg Maskaev, Guillermo Jones and Andrew Golota.

- Apparently the Bute-Andrade fight is a done deal. It will take place at Belle Centre the date is not set yet but looks to be in Sept.

- Mundine is planning on moving down to Middleweight and fighting Shannon Taylor.

- There's talks about a fight for Lacy vs. Epifiano Mendoza but they need to find a site.

- There's a possibility that we might see Jermain Taylor vs. Carl Froch fight for one of the belts that Joe will vacate at SMW.

- Talks of a unification fight between Caballero vs. Molitor have started. Let's hope both sides can agree on the terms.

- It had been announced that Sturm would fight Sebastian Sylvester IF Sebastian made it past Castillejo. Well Sebastian did but now Sturm will rematch Griffin instead. I guess the fucken brutal TKO, Sebastian laid that day was enough for Team Sturm to move on.

- Main Events has dropped Kermit Cintron from their stable. Damn! when you hit the floor you hit it hard. It's gonna take a lot from Kermit to get back up.

- Campbell vs. Guzman is being negotiated. Both sides are talking now and it looks like Sept.

(Sept. looking like a stacked month)

- Did you know "Kid Diamond" Raymkulov fought on Friday? He won via TKO in a tune fight. Looks like he might fight Anthony Peterson if all goes well.

- Linares is injury prone. I did not know this either I missed the threads or I'm blind. 1st it was an ankle injury now he's injured from his shoulder. Come on Jorge... No wonder he hasn't fought since Dec.



And lastly I just wanted to say that it's bullshit! that Margarito has to vacate his title for the fight vs. Cotto.
Which is why I say fuck these Organizations.
Also it clearly shows that Zab is the IBFs B-I-T-C-H!!! (this should show)

They 1st handed him the belt after Baldomir whopped his ass, now suddenly he's challenging for it. Get the fuck out of here...

* Well Vitaly needs to step the hell out of boxing. He is not needed anymore and all he is doing with the whole contemplating a comeback fiasco is adding more confusion to an all ready messed up division.

* i think Haye should fight anyone who is rated from 10 to 20 in the division unless he is planning to lose his first fight. he needs to see how it feels before fighting a top heavy. well maye he should fight Ruiz as i always enjoy seeing the possibility of Ruiz getting KTFO.

* The unification between Caballero and Molitor should be fun to watch.. Hopefully it happens.

* Kermit must be hating his life right now. i think he will be alright though if he keeps knocking out C class fighters as KO's are exciting and Cintron has power. he will bounce back from whatever but i still think he never manages to be at the top.

Don't know what happened there it just posted without me finishing ?? so i'll have to continue here.


6 Bit of a random match up but a good fight for Froch and this will tell us where he belongs at SMW, IMO i think Taylor is too good for Froch and stops him not sure when i'll have to think about it.

7 Good fight lets hope it happens Molitor is a very skilled fighter and possibly one of the most underrated skill wise, im also impressed with his patience, its shame he didn't get to Daniel Ponce De Leon first i think he would of boxed his ears off.

8 Campbell has always been an hot and cold fighter, he is a good fighter but i think people are slightly overrating him after his win over Diaz, i just think that was very good style match up for Campbell. Guzman reminds me of Mayweather, Guzman is very skilled and i feel he is faster and he has the better boxing skills, plus he is also fresher IMO. Can Campbell produce another good performance like the one with Diaz at his age ?? we will have to wait and see, but i think Guzman wins 12 UD.
