Just remembed Paul Briggs is fighting tonite. I would lov to se a trilogy with Adamek. Would be one of the best and a great comeback for Adamek.

Nope! Not on Saturday nights, I don't. Generally, I always see daylight & then sleep half of Sunday away...whole troof & nuttin but! Usually cover the fights & then watch movies until daylight. Saturday night is my drinking time & alone time...the wife & daughter are in the nap & I get to run the theatre all night long.Originally Posted by Hulk
Tis a beautiful thing.
Agreed 100%. He's good & he's fast...but he's not what he's being blown up to be. I think that he can make some waves but not the splash that his afore mentioned predessors made. I've got some issues with several things...but if he'd just listen to his corner & follow instractuions...he could be something. I just don't see it happening.Originally Posted by Hulk
Again...he's good...but I aint sure that he's 100% the best out there right now. I want to see him in against Johnson, Briggs, or Woods next. He does Johnson in...I'll be impressed. Johnson has all the tools to give him a lesson & easily beat him...if the opposite happens...I'm impressed. Same goes for Briggs. Briggs is tuff as nails like Adamek & a fight & win against Dawson would be motivation for Briggs to put up one hell of a fight. As for Woods, I just think that he could take it to Woods & it would make for a good resume.Originally Posted by Hulk
Honestly...I want the Hopkins Wright fight to happen...but not at 170lbs or even 168lbs. I've wanted that fight for years at middleweight.Originally Posted by Hulk
The catchweight is just suicide for Wright...especially seeing how effective Hopkins was against Tarver at 175lbs.
People can piss & moan & try to take apart the win over Tarver based on the fact that Tarver had to come down in weight...but anyone that saw that fight saw the technical brilliance & power of the Hopkins of old & no matter what...Tarver kicked the shit out of Roy Jones jr in all three of their bouts...& I hate saying that because I am a huge Jones fan.
Now...all that being said...if Wright were able to come up and dominate Hopkins in such a fashion as he did Trinidad...once again...I would be speechless, shocked, & as proud as a papa over a new born...just as I was on June the 10th, 2006.
We shall see...but again...I stick to my guns on the fact that this catchweight is just suicide for Wright.
I'd like to see Dawson Briggs actually...it'd be good motivation for Briggs to fight his ass off...but I believe that Dawson would win.Originally Posted by BoomBoom

He was not listening to Mayweather at all. He might have heard him...but he wasn't following instructions. He got over confident & stuck his neck out when he should have hammered him home like Floyd said. When he had Adamek hurt he let him off the hook.

Honestly...it wasn't the fact that Adamek was slower...Dawson's just that fast.Originally Posted by boozeboxer
Anywho...totally agree on the Johnson & Woods deal. Most commentators & fans rate Johnson higher than Woods based on the outcome of Johnson's match with Jones & his recent resurgence...even though Woods won the last bout.
I just don't get it. Johnson, IWO, is tuff as nails & would make the better fight.

I agree on not listening to the corner. Mayweather told hi mto go out and hold and get his legs back and he went out there and tried to knock Adamek out in the first few seconds. That's gonna cost him one day.

It strangely reminds me of Jason Litzau whenever his corner would say to box smart he would try harder to knock his foe out. Strangely I think in a strange way Chad Dawson reminds me of Litzau. It was apparent in the Harding fight. Dan told him to box and he started throwing shots and get caught with huge right hooks(which didn't hurt him) and encouraged him to trade even more while letting Harding know he wasn't hurt.
One day he's going to fight someone who can punch hard and that macho style of his he'll get knocked out the same way. I hope that doesn't happen because I like him as a prospect and a fighter but his mental in the ring is going to be his downfall.
If he has any problems, it's not because of the size. Marquez could have gone up 2 divisions and been fine. Vazquez is tough as all hell though, this one goes all 12 but I think Rafa is the better of the two. I think he is one of the most complete fighters in all of boxing. I would be surprised if he lost. Even to Vasquez.Originally Posted by wacko3205
I remember after the Harding fight I thought he was always a little open but I thought he was next in line for a title shot. Then everyone came down on him after the Harding fight. I was kind of perplexed by that.Originally Posted by wacko3205
Anyways, I recorded this on my grandpa's DVR and meant to watch it this morning but I ended up staying at a friends house. Guess I have to watch it next weekend. But I like Dawson. I also like Adamek. Wish I could have seen it. CC for the DRBR though.
Boone won.Originally Posted by amat
The reason I even noted this was because I had a real sneaking suspicion that James Johnson would be in some real trouble. Boone is tricky as hell. Slick southpaw counter puncher who throws from all angles, at different distances. An impossible guy to get in rhythm against. This should be some vindication for Andre Ward.
You make some sense, and some things you said here on nonsense my man.Originally Posted by wacko3205
Tarver did NOT beat RJJ thre fuking times. He lost the first fight for sure, clearly fading down the strech and being out worked by Jones. Obviously he won the second big, with a freak punch. And the third fight wasn't even a fuking fight, only reason he won that is cus he was somewhat less scared of being KO'd than Jones, but still scared to be KO'd. Also I thought B-hop was yo favorite fighter man?! Now you are hoping that boring ass bitch Wright dominates him like he did Tito at 160?! Fuk that. B-hop and Jones all the way. Both kick ass and both should fight one another.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
Opinions are like rectal caverns...their often full of shit...kinda like the majority of yours...but I can overlook your bias.Originally Posted by Hulk
Look...I'm a Jones jr fan also...but all that flurrying bullshit that he was pullying at the end of the rounds doesn't cut the mustard. Tarver was in control of Jones for the better parts of the rounds. Sorry. I just don't agree with you here. At all...
Hopkins is my favorite...as is Wright...I'm simply more interested in Wright being able to cope with Hopkins & what game plan he uses.

Whatever Wacko. I like ya, but you give up on your fighters way too easy. "Tarver kicked Roy's ass the first time"...."Taylor beat B-hop the second time". NONSENSE. When you believe shat like that, then that leads you to not have faith in your fighters later on, like in both the Hopkins vs Tarver AND RJJ vs Ajamu fights. You did not pick either to win. Its not cus your are stupid, well maybe it isOriginally Posted by wacko3205
, just playin, but its cus you lose faith in your fighters too easily. Realize that both Roy Jones and Bernard Hopkins are Legends. Realize that Winky Wright is NOT. He's a very good fighter, a hall of famer probably, but he is no legend.
"You knocked him down...now how bout you try knockin me down ?"
I don't give up on my fighters...there are just times that I don't think they can pull out all the stops & times that I do.Originally Posted by Hulk
Jones did lose to Tarver & Hopkins did lose to Taylor. Neither one did enough when they needed to.
Wright is indeed a hall of famer & has as much of a shot at being a legend as Hopkins does. Just because you don't like the way a fighter fight does not make him any less than the other.
He beats Hopkins & I promise you...you'll be changing your tune. If he doesn't...he doesn't...

Wright is very good, but he will not be remembered long after he retires like Jones and Hopkins will. They were great great fighters, Wright isn't on their level and NEVER will be. He had a tuff fight with Sam Soliman.Originally Posted by wacko3205

Yeah...that's why, right now, he's considered as one of the best defensive fighters of the last 10-15 years.Originally Posted by Hulk
Yeah right...and Mayorga almost beat De La Hoya to death with his face. :POriginally Posted by Hulk

Uh huh... just keep tellin yourself that people will still be talking about Wright 10-20 years later, but it won't come true. Duran will be remembered. Roy Jones will be remembered. Bernard Hopkins will be remembered. Oscar will be remembered even. But NOT Wright. People may briefly aknowledge him, but he has a small fanbase of truly hardcore boxing fans and drunken douchebags and thats about it. And even that is more than he deserves. Boring ass, feather fisted lil beotch that he is.Originally Posted by wacko3205
