What are the odds we get pacquiao vs canelo if pac beats Bradley?
>>
>>66608079
fuck that shit we need canelo v ggg
if he beats khan
>>
>>66608079
I still want to see Canelo fight GGG but I doubt it's gonna happen
>>
>>66608079
God no. Canelo needs to fight GGG Canela vs Manny would be terrible for the sport.
>>
Is Sergey Kovalev the p4p right now?
>>
>>66608128
Chocolatitio is
>>
>>66608071

Pacquiao V Mayweather might have been the finale straw.
>>
>>66608095
do you honestly see Khan winning? he's gonna get his ass whooped and I don't even rate canelo that highly
>>
>>66608305

Khan is just way too small.

He has the right attributes to pot shot and run but Canelo will get him out in 4.
>>
>>66608305
who do you rate then?
obvs khan has a chance he is a quality fighter but canelo is the fav rightly so
>>
What do you thing about the fight Joshua/Charle Martin. So many people thing it will be easy for Anthony Joshua ( same for Wilder/povetkin) cause of his eight. I doubt about that.
>>
>>66608033
>Anthony Joshua claims that Tyson Fury is jealous of his beach bod.
he's a fucking show pony
I want to like him but he really needs a good shoeing first.
>>
>>66608384
I don't think it will be a cakewalk. And I think Wilder is gunna knock Povetkin out.
>>
>>66608283
Golovkin Vs. Canelo will bring interest back. If it happens. Canelo vs Pacqiuao would be fucking terrible for the sport.
>>
>>66608362
I think GGG and Lara are better than him, I know he beat Lara in the past but the fight was too close and he did not look dominant at all

However, Canelo just keeps getting better since he is still far from his prime so he will probably be the second best after Gennady in no time
>>
>>66608426
Povetkin have the same chin as Duhaupas but with >>>>>>>> boxing skill, more speed etc. I thing Povetkin can Ko wilder.
>>
>>66608384

Povetkin is gonna walk Wilder down and smash him.
>>
I watched GGG hit a fucker on the crown of the head & knock him out.

Kid is a freak. So cute!

Bare knuckle when?
>>
>>66608033
Yeah, we're still out there. Most of the ones I know are Hispanic, myself included.
>>66608283
That was what made me seriously realize the state of boxing is shit.

I wish there were more fighters who had guys and technique like GGG. I really like provodnikov too, but he lacks technique. Fighters like provodnikov don't last too long unfortunately because of the stamina you need to have.

I of course like seeing guys getting knocked down, but I prefer it not to be a one sided match. One where both fighters are on equal terms and it's not a clinching fest like the fury v klitschko fight

I think it's more that his defence consists of blocking punches with his face

I love Siberian Rocky though, I wish there were a dozen guys like that in each weight class
>>
>>66609208
Interest in boxing in booming in the UK at least, Joshua's title fight on saturday sold out in 90 seconds

Absolutely, like I said before. 49 tried, 49 came up short. God bless.

Also
>Broner turns himself in
ATHLETIC BASTARD
>Anthony Joshua claims that Tyson Fury is jealous of his beach bod.
Never seen a lineal champion get so much disrespect. Fury winning the lineal championship was the best achievement in British sport last year, and yet Haye is still more liked and popular than him. Embarrasing.
>Nick Blackwell awakes from his coma
1 like = 1 PRAYER
>Bradley and Pacqiuao to fight this Saturday.
I actually might put money on a Bradley victory. Decent undercard too can't wait to watch.
>>
>>66610355
Bradley is all heart baby!

The sport could use a triumphant Timmy.
>>
although GGG vs Canelo would be more important for the sport.

The more exciting and competitive fight would be Canelo vs Lemieux.

also

who /LETSGOCHAMP/ here?
>>
>>66610443

bradley is a tremendous fighter, but he came up short twice and he will come up short a third time. Pac man is just too special of a fighter.
>>
>>66610484
PAC is old. He has gotten worse, Timmy has gotten much better.

ESPN have got 25-4 of their top 25 p4p boxers of the last 25 years

http://espn.go.com/boxing/story/_/id/14922956/ranking-top-25-pound-pound-boxers-25-years

25. Terry Norris
24. Gennady Golovkin
23. Winky Wright
22. Naseem Hamed
21. Miguel Cotto
20. Roman Gonzalez
19. Wladimir Klitschko
18. Erik Morales
17. Andre Ward

15. Shane Mosley
14. Joe Calzaghe

10. Ricardo Lopez
9. Juan Manuel Marquez
8. Pernell Whittaker
7. Evander Holyfield
6. Oscar de la Hoya
5. Julio Cesar Chavez
4. Roy Jones jr

Top 3 almost certainly going to be Bernard Hopkins, Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather

Few things
>24. Gennady Golovkin
>20. Roman Gonzalez
>>
>>66610710
That objectively, He is the goat. If we look at all his accomplishments, the names on his resume, and the fact that he took sooooo little punishment throughout his career, then he would be GOAT. But, when you compare him to the Robsinsons and Durans he is not the GOAT. Had he not had the NSAC on his balls throughout the entirety of his career and had the balls to fight Manny sooner, and had fought in a stronger era, AND did not fight as much as the old time goats, its hard to say that he is the goat. ATG for sure. GOAt? No.
>>
>>66611261
Yea, I don't know what crack ESPN is smoking putting GGG and RG there.

>16, James Toney

Love you for that one Espeynnn

Morales and Berrera should be 1 and 2 solely off of there performances against each other.

For each fighter they listed their signature wins

For Golovkin:
>Grzegorz Proksa, TKO5, 2012
>Curtis Stevens, TKO8, 2013
>David Lemieux, TKO8, 2015

Absolutely ridiculous. Sergio Martinez should be there ahead of Golovkin.

>>66611610
>mfw round 11 of Barrera - Morales

Absolute scenes
>>
>>66611800
I would put Martinez in there instead of Golovkin. Roman has a couple more wins to go before he can be in the top 25 even though I'm more sold on him than Golovkin .
>>
>>66608269
>>66608128
roman kovalev and rigo are top 3
>>
>>66611996
I'm Cuban and love rigo but how is he top 3?

And how is Kovalev top 3?
>>
>>66611261

No Vitali?

He was a monster, only lost twice - on cuts vs an ATG and retiring injured in a fight he was winning

I rate him much higher than Wlad though I guess you've got to have him on there
>>
>>66611261
way too early for chocolatito but at the end of his career he'll most definitely be part of lists like these. hamed GGG and ward are the ones who have no business being in that list

also the order is off, holyfield should be in the lower 20 if at all

also roy jones should be top 3 instead of bhop
>>
>>66612183
True, he never put a knee down.
>>
>>66611411
That is the most nonsensical thing I've ever read
>>
>>66611610
i loved how they genuinely hated each others guts
of course it's nice to see guys like ward and gatti develop genuine friendship over a trilogy like that but what i can't stand is fake reconciliations for the media
>>
>>66612183
Ludicrous having Golovkin or Gonzalez there ahead of Vitali

>>66612220
I think they've rated Hopkins ahead of Jones based on longevity
>>
>>66612063
rigo is probably the best boxer technically out there, had a shit fight against that jap but i don't think he's really declining yet
kovalev is literally a murderer with stone hands but he's a deceptively good boxer too
who do you rate higher than those two?
>>
>>66612183
just realised there's no vitali in there. discredits the whole list really, 100x the fighter his brother was and should be ahead of jcc at least

yeah it's not as bad a decision as some of the other points even if RJJ is my favourite boxer, bhop is seriously one of a kind in the history of the sport

Who /hype/ for Aprils boxing cards?

Pacquiao - Bradley and Joshua - Martin both with solid undercards this weekend

Week after, Errol Spence up against his first big name boxer

After that, you've got GGG and Gonzalez on the same card, even if they will win one sided fights, they're still good to watch

Then on the 30th, Badou Jack and James DeGale fight ahead of an anticipated unification match

>>66612431
Rigo shouldn't be in the top 3 p4p because he's fought literal whos in the 3 years since Donaire.

A shame that he's been relentlessly ducked, but to be a top boxer, you need to beat the top names.
>>
>>66610443
bradley's first win vs pac ruined the sport even further, how is another win going to help it?

PacMan is over. Bradley is the heart of the sport.

The man would most likely suffer many a concussions just to land a shot off. If the man had any kind of power he would be KING SHIT.
>>
>>66613043
what's that even supposed to mean

bradley ain't shit. not even the best american boxer p4p crawford pisses all over him
>>
>>66612898
Gonzalez, Kovalev, Golovkin

Don't think Kovalev or Gonzalez can be argued with as top 3 p4p.

Golovkin is absolutely cleaning out middleweight, just a matter of time before the Alvarez fight happens
>>
>>66613173
Is it all about status with you?

If you see a boxer with ass loads of intangibles who bangs, even though he has no power. Do you not root for him?
>>
>>66613195
rigo can't be top 3 because he fought literal whos in the last three years but golovkin who has fought cans only is? don't get me wrong, i like GGG a lot but that very argument you're making works a lot more for rigo than it does for GGG
>>
Why do people say Floyd killed boxing? He brought in more PPV sales than anyone in the history of the sport.
>>
>>66613282
>Do you not root for him?
i said earlier that rigo is probably my favourite boxer around
not about status, i don't rate bradley too high plus i'm a little biased against him because of that blatant robbery vs pac (and im not even a pac fan)
>>
>>66613400
Murray, Geale, Macklin and Lemieux aren't cans though.
>>
current top 5 p4p should include Ward, GGG, Kovalev, Chocolatito and Rigo. However I prefer Loma over Rigo for not being anywhere near as BORING
>>
>>66613460

Only because everybody wanted to see his ass getting KO'd
>>
>>66613855
ward is more boring than rigo
he also hasn't fought in like 36 years
>>
>>66612784
I think Bute is gunna upset Jack.
>>
>>66613836
cans is a bit harsh but they aren't very good either though
>>
>>66614008
Ward just fought whatchu talking about.
>>
>>66613697
Bradley is a good fucking fighter. Go watch Bradley v. Provodnikov.
>>
Would people finally absolutely rate Klitschko as an ATG if he KO's Fury and then Wilder, if Wilder wins against Povetkin? Joshua is out of question ofcourse, because Klitchko might be like 45 by time Joshua starts fighting real deals

>>66614008
he's fought 2 times in the past 8 months and he's about to fight twice more this year most likely. And he isn't as boring as Rigo
>>
>>66614100
fought a literal who
>>66614176
provodnikov is a hack. his heart is literally ATG level but he's shit
bradley is a good fighter don't disagree there. i just don't rate him as a top 10 p4p for example
>>66614200
ward is a good fighter but he bores my bollocks off
rigo is genuinely more exciting to me. matter of taste i guess
>>
>>66614200
I'd like to think so.

You'd still get people crying about the HW division being absolute shit 5-10 years ago, but you can only beat what's put in front of you
>>
>>66614495
You wouldn't rate him top ten but would rigo? Come on man I'm Cuban and even I know that ain't right.
>>
>>66614495
>fought a literal who

>forgets Rigos last canceled fight..
>>
>>66614723
so what? there are many argentinians who rated tevez above messi, you latin americans are retarded like that at times no offence

i know a big cuban boxing fan who rated solis and gamboa higher than rigo too. now im a big fan of yuri but that's as ridiculous an opinion as it gets and it's not validated just because he'S cuban either

In his own division yes.

He's not top 10 of all time though, arguably just scraps top 15.
>>
>>66615376
>amateur resume

Amateur resume doesn't mean SHIT in PROFESSIONAL boxing. Stop it. Please do research on the sport before talking about it. And Rigos resume would be in a deadlock tie with Vasyl Lomachenckos (both 2 time gold winners ) so come on dude. YDKSAB ;)
>>
>>66613195
Golovkin isn't top 3. He's barley top 8.
>>
Who hype for Joshua vs Fury?
>>
>>66615746
Joshua is too green for Fury.

He should fight Parker (if he wins) and Haye first.
>>
>>66615694
loma gets close but has less world cups, championships etc pp, if you weren't retarded you would be able to look up their respective resumes but alas

and yeah im done talking to retards. if your only way of assessing a boxer's worth is looking at his resume "list" you're wasting my time. rigo's fight vs donaire alone pisses on tim refley's whole career

now fuck off

Fucking lol.

A boxer is only good as his competition.
Rigos competition post Nonito has SUCKED.

Bradley as Peterson, Manny, Alexander, Provodnikov, Juan Manuel Marquez and Casamayor

Rigo has, Donaire....that's literally it.donaire, a Filipino HBO hype job.

Rigo, UD Donaire but Walters KO'd him, does that mean Walters is a better fighter than Rigo?

Fucking retard. You do not know shit about boxing.

desu this argument is quite bullshit. rigo has only donaire in his resume cause since he beat him he has been dodged by everyone. resumes mattter but you can tell how good he is just looking at him. he is definitely in top10
>>
I'm willing to bet this spastic American is black
>>
>>66616162
He is top ten.

He is NOT above Bradley. And Rigo looked like ass his last fight. So resume or eye test standard, Rigo barley cracks the top ten and is not above Bradley.
>>
>>66616113
Donaire is the definition of a hype job.

If we go by the eye test standard, P4P #1 is Naoya Inoue and GGG is #2. But they're not retard.

If you go by the eye test, Rigo dropped his last fight vs a cab driver while Bradleys stock went up stopping a man who had never been stopped before.

Again, YDKSAB.
>>
>>66616210
fair enough i agree with that.

Dude you can't shit on Joel Casamayor and JMM then try to say Donaire is something special. He is not and never was. A hard hitting entertaining limited skill set fighter IS a hype job.

Its alright. The divisions under 147 and 175 are the best divisions in boxing ATM. And MW would be more interesting if GGG wasn't there.


130 with Walters, Vargas, Miura, Uchiyama and possibly Loma moving up is insanely deep.

49-0
Greatest of his era
>>
>>66616999
he's easily the greatest of his era but it's not because of his record which should have been 48-1 anyway
not even his resume even though that's incredibly impressive as well
just watch his fights. he looked like a certain future HOFer and possible ATG after beating gatti already
>>
>>66617324
Pretty Boy Floyd was an ATG

Money was a douche.

>>
>>66616263
>Donaire is the definition of a hype job.

Not following this argument but this is a pretty stupid comment. Donaire had knockout of the year not once but twice, was FOTY in 2012, was consistently ranked in the top 5 p4p on everyones list for years. To say that he was an HBO hype job just shows that you truly don't know shit about boxing.
>>
>>66618428
Follow the argument and you'll see why. You can only respond to stupidity with the same.
To put Rigo in the top 3 p4p based of the Nonito win when he has not done anything after is fucking stupid. Yea he hasn't had any luck with other fighters ducking, but his best win has since been knocked out and has clearly diminished since his loss.
His next argument after is the eye test which definitely does not put Rigo in the top 3 p4p unless he has just been watching the donaire fight and has not seen everything else since.

To answer your question...
Obviously since there are enough to start and keep a thread going on a website which is known for child porn and weeaboos. But in reality most fans arent very connected online nor want to show themselves off as fans since they are too busy watching twerking videos. Boxing may never get back to where it was (like never) but it will always be talked about in barbershops no matter its state. Its an american tradition and the lack of a charismatic american fighter who excites crowds and represents the US, really hurts us. Mayweather had the first part kind of but in reality he wasnt entertaining for casual fans. He cared too much about his own health and his money (very understandable) but he didnt realize that a lot of casual fans were expecting a brawl. This turned it off for most of USA. The US needs a WHITE(i know crazy) charismatic (almost ali like) ko fighter who uses social media and can appeal to audiences with growing autism.

boxing is not dead, but it's slowly stopping to be a mainstream sport in a way. Only people who really like the sport and care about it, follow it. Opposed to mainstream sports where everyone knows atleast some athletes, most people will look at you blankly if you mention GGG or Khan, they know about KLitschko and Mayweather and that's it. It's not a bad thing actually, but it will probably affect the numbers, if it already hasn't.

>>66625946
>implying grandpa hopkins is bad
also he smashed pascal twice
>>
>>66625946
humiliated Pascal twice (a guy with decent power who hasn't been knocked down in his career before IIRC), outboxed Hopkins with his skills, KO'd Cleverly who hasn't lost any match up till that point, KO'd Caparello with a bloody body shot. The first two are at very least B+ fighters, Hopkins is normally an elite fighter though and Cleverly and Caparello are B-, may be C, but Caparello definitely is B-.

Despite that, he not only beat the competition, he humiliated each and every, except the first Boone fight.

>Canelo's manager wants a fight with Pacquiao next

At this point it wouldn't even bother me if Canelo didn't fight Golovkin this year, just as long as he fights an actual fucking middleweight at 160lbs

Canelo needs to drop that fucking title then.

Ward didn't look good against Berrera. If he takes any of those hits from Kovalev he will not make it.

Kovalev is a hard hard hitting mofo. The only difference between him and every other hard hitting mofo that has ever been hyped up is that Kovalev has 8/10 boxing skills and very deceptive speed and underrated footwork. As opposed to most hard hitting guys, he does not swing like a mad man and uses his boxing skills to set up the knock out. He also has proven that he can go an entire 12 rounds and has knocked out opponents who have never been knocked out before; that's REAL power and not meme power.

and he out boxed Hopkins like Hopkins had never been outboxed before.

>tl;Dr Kovalev is not over hyped, he is THAT good.

>>66625946
Daily reminder, Kovalev has a much better resume than ggg

He knocked down Pascal with a jab in the second fight. Ward doesn't stand a chance. Also Ward looked like ass in he's last two outing meanwhile Kovalev is white hot.

I wish Chickeshit stevenson would stop running and give the man his chance, but if he KOs Ward then it might get the networks to work out a deal.

As it's getting closer, I'm getting more and more hype for the Charles Martin-Anthony Joshua fight.

Anyone else?

idc what anyone says. Yes hopkins is a legend for being so dominant for so long. But when he fought kovalev, he looked every bit 49. Your age catches up to at some point and it did for the Kovalev fight. I don't like that fight being used as a measuring stick for how good Kovalev is.

However i rate Pascal pretty high in LHW and he dominated him twice so ill give him that. Especially cus Pascal had a pretty good chin, and Kovalev actually stunned him a few times and just beat him around the ring.

>>66627941
If the new Ufc game bombs again theyll have to do another boxing game surely to god they wont put out a third UFC game knowing it wont sell
>>
>>66627588

i totally disagree. Kovalev has fought like 3 notable fighters.

While GGG has consistently fought solid opponents for like 3 years.
>>
>>66627898
I got hyped after watching the face-off promo they did. I can't find the vid online but Martin has some faked nigga aggression while Joshua is just laughing in his face. I don't know why American niggas are so easily trolled by British blacks.

AFAIK, UFC 1 didn't sell anywhere near the level that Fight Night Round 3 or 4 sold

Undisputed 3 was the last good UFC game. U3 and Fight Night Champion are the two fights games that I rotate playing on my ol' 360.

He should be. Fury has a dad bod.

good

hyped. Atlas training should at least make it different from the first two fights.
>>
>>66627948
50yrs old hop is still in top5 lhw, and he schooled Pascal. Kovalev was just too much for him but he is still a top fighter.

>>66628475
>dad bod is good bod

On that note, how come heavy weights can get away with that dad bod shit? I've seen some faaat motherfuckers in the HW division.

I just hope Atlas doesn't get too wild and try to steal the show. I was watching Bradley vs. Rios and atlas seems like kind of s spazz. But he got Bradley to listen and buy into what he is saying so that's great I guess.

Power. You don't have to work as hard when you can turn your opponent's lights out with one shot.
>>
>>66628795
Every boxer who has relied solely on power has gotten schooled.

Only exception is Rocky. But Naseem, Benn all of them have gotten school the second they met a competent boxer.

Lol Fury would whoop Joshua's ass right now. I like Joshua but he's still a level below Fury.

Fury psyched out and stole the belt from the decade long champ on home turf

Joshua isn't even Chisora level yet

fury isnt as bad as he used to be hes in pretty decent shape for his height on fight night these days
