    The same can be said about Mayweather and Hopkins.... IMO

        - - Not a fan of either nor Ali. Seen em git whooped, sometimes badly and otherwise lose obvious decisions that they majically won.

          Who whooped Mayweather badly? Even Hopkins was never whooped badly until he was over 50

            - - Poppy easily handled by broken hand Roy. Mercado KDed him twice and otherwise whooped him in a DKing farce where he was gifted with a draw. Quit the first Allen fight with another NC gift by the ref. Tried to quit Calzaghe, but the ref made him continue after crawling around the ring yapping like a kicked cur.

            Ducked the Danny Green fight for the Roy rematch that he had previously ducked where Dibella sued and won $2mil broken contract damages. Pulled the same Calzaghe stunt on Roy and was still squallin' like a kicked schoolgrl 5 mins after he won the bogus decision. Don't make me go on as I don't normally pick on weaklings, but Poppy a special weakling..

            JLCastillo whooped the panties off TUE their first fight. Tiny Jesus Chavez hade him running like a scalded cat that he salvaged with a bogus stoppage. Maidana whooped him twice in spite of injurious contract limitations. Ducked Manny for 5 years while making libelous drug accusations that he paid an out of court settlement + a public letter of his wrong doing.

              Steve Collins changed from a classic straight-up boxer to a "wild" brawler.

                Lara deserves a mention here. He was back foot pure boxer with his cobra arms. Since last years he is fighting like a man more.

                  How was it a bogus stoppage when the corner threw in the towel?

                    Slugger Tommy Morrison turning boxer against Foreman was a big surprise for me as it happened.

                      - - Ronnie Shields was hired to run interference needed in a big fight, an Arum in house fight on HBO.

                      Richard Lord, a former pro fighter was his real trainer had to be pulled off by security when shields pulled Jesus out. HBO crew had Jesus ahead through most of the fight. Jesus was never hurt, cut, or suffered any swelling.
