Interesting that since Mayweather highlighted Pacquiao's 'training regime', Manny's performances have become a little more human....

Definite end of an era, it now looks like there is a vacuum at the top end of World Boxing.....Anybody got any ideas on who is going to step up and become the next big superstar??

Re: Boxing PART II : Sun Dec 09, 2012 1:02 pm  

kessler beats magee easy, magee please retire, sick of seeing his name!

dagale looked very good against a seasoned pro like zuniga..

eubank jr stoppage was laughable even though he was going to win..

pacman...what a KO!! thought he was just about winning the fight but no one would of got up from that shot...the mayweather fight wont be happening now i dont think, if it did it wouldnt be on the 45-55 terms he was on about before the fight.

prob be a rematch with marquez again, everyone would want to see it!

Yess Marquez.

Broner will be the next big thing in boxing IMO. Shame because he's just Mayweather mk II IMO, albeit with a bit more pop.

I actually meant a younger fighter......Once Froch has fought those two fights, he will probably retire.

I think Ward is likely to become the p4p champion, the problem is, he seems head and shoulders above his rivals, which, coupled with his style, makes his fights relatively dull.

I'd personally love to see the heavyweight division grab the spotlight again....If only Haye would take the sport seriously, David Price fulfil his potential and the US produce a decent contender, then along with Wladimir (Vitali will be gone soon), there might just be the chance of a few half decent bouts in the next few years.

maybe kell brook then if he beats alexander and khan... might be a longshot that though

current heavyweights all just waiting for klitchkos to retire then they can get the belt easy and call themselves champs.

how come povetkin hasnt got in with the ukraine brothers yet? hes the only unbeaten champ that holds one of the 4 belts at the moment

Re: Boxing PART II : Mon Dec 10, 2012 1:23 pm  

Well after 4 fights some justice was finally done. Marquez should have at least 2 more wins over Pac IMO, and I'm so glad he managed to get the win in such emphatic fashion. Its clear Pac has been on the decline for a while, probably since the Hatton fight as his punch output has reduceded and he has become more involved in politics. It also seems clear to me that any chance of a fight between Pacman and Mayweather is just about dead in the water, although I've never been that bothered about seeing it because I've always been convinced Mayweather would be just too good for Pac. In many ways it could prove good for boxing as it gives the likes of Bronner, Gamboa, Rigondaux, Gary Russell Jnr, Golovkin, and Donaire the chance to really step up and become boxing's next big star.

On the subject of steroid use in boxing, there was an interesting article posted by a top boxing journo about Mayweather's steroid use. I'll try to find it and post a link on here.

The Brook-Alexander fight is off because Brook has an ankle injury. Hearn hopes the fight will still takes place in February or March at the latest. Its a shame because I fancied Brook to KO Alexander.

Looking forward to a good weekend of boxing:

Khan-Molina (apprantly Angel Garcia will be one of Molina's assistant trainers and will oversee Khan's hands being wrapped)
Donaire-Arce.
Groves-Johnson.

at least the brook fight will still go ahead, if its in new york though he will have to be very good if it goes to the judges cards!

khan should win shouldnt he but said that before..

donaire looks very good

groves should get the win on points, will be hard to stop johnson

next superstar.. how about the young mexican alvares?

Re: Boxing PART II : Thu Dec 13, 2012 11:47 am  

Alvarez looks to be being groomed as the next big Mexican star, and he's looked good so far although, he needs to step his competition.

I reckon Groves will stop Johnson, Johnson is now so far over the hill its sad.
