Pacman always seemed like he just had a hard head, came straight in all the time, although tbf I had lost interest in boxing by the time he was a big deal so my exposure to his fights is limited.

Alex 30246 Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 You see it where Billy Joe Saunders was at the Box Nation press conference in London and asked Canelo why he'd given up his belt when he was GGG's mandatory? While the answer was being translated BJS said something like, I'll answer for you - I shit myself. Was billed as being 'hilarious' but it just showed Warren up for being unprofessional for letting him in their with a mic. What was quite funny was that Canelo obviously didn't have a clue who he was. It'll just be a pay day if he fights the winner of GGG - Canelo. He's a canny boxer but they're in a different league.

ewerk 26189 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 A draw? What is the point? One judge had it 118-110 in favour of Canelo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I didn't think there was loads in it, but 118-110 is corruption. Ggg is an animal. Mayweather should have fought him instead of that circus the other week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfy 12 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 You can tell who the genuine boxers are. They're the one's that don't have two ha-pennies to rub together. The sport that is boxing is dying a death because of farcical fights and also people Like Ferdinand and Flintoff, etc, being thrust into the limelight. I used to love boxing not too many years ago. Still do with the real warriors who do it from the heart. As for the heavyweights and the money making has beens. It's just a pay per view ACT. Such a shame.

I'm sure the likes of Carl Froch, Joe Calzaghe and Lennox Lewis will be distraught to learn they don't meet your criteria as to what defines a true pugilist like Also, the sport's massively popular in the UK. Recent fights have broke attendance records and had impressive PPV figures. Even globally / in the US it still outperforms other fight codes in terms of viewing figures and what fighters earn too I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
