neither would i mate, hes got both fighters, if manny fought floyd its rumoured floyd would get 60-55% of the purse due to doing superior figures, Arum would make more dough in a rematch with these two, throw in some controversy from the rematch and he doesnt have to give the Mayweathers a cent, who he hates anyway, hes a fat blert whose probably never been in a ring without wearing a suit

C'mon guys! I've watched the rocky series a billion times! Rocky had the eye of the tiger when he fought Apollo, but, when he won and became rich and famous he lost it and became weak and insignificant.

There has been quite a few posts on various forums comparing this farce to what happened Marquez in November , there is no comparison between the 2 , Novembers fight could have went either way and infact Manny landed the more punches in that fight no matter what way some people wanted to see that fight .
Iv watched saturday nights fight 4 times and the most I can give Bradley is 3 rounds , I even feel im being generous by giving him the last 3 rounds , because the 12th could quite easily have been given to Manny .
A rematch is certainly something I would not part with money to watch , why , when in the first fight the result bar in the eyes of 3 people was pretty straight forward ? Even the 115-113 Pacquiao score was kind to Bradley nevermind the 2 that went the other way , surely the age of these judges at 65 , 71 & 75 has to come into question .
Also rumours going about that May will offer Bradley more to fight in Nov , another possible fight that I and many boxing fans would not part with money to watch .

disagree with you on the marquez fight there lid, thought it was a clear victory for jmm, for the 3rd time against pacman in my opinion, but the jmm aint with arum. Anyway WBO have announced they will review the decision so we shall see.
Far more important and much sadder news is that the great Teo Stevenson has died at just 60, the man who would be king, in many peoples eyes, rip
I didn't know Stevenson had passed away. He was still running a gym in Havana. Very sad news indeed, a good man according to plenty I know that had met him. RIP.
is right mate, an absolute legend, never got over to Cuba meself, but know a few lads who have had the honour of meeting him, they all said he was a gent, was just chatting to someone the other day about how much the amateur scene has changed and used him as a example.
There's a few of them still knocking about with customary Ladas as a thank you from the government. Kindelan still lives in Holguin in the east of the island. Cuba makes communism ace.
Really nice take on it here by the Guardian.

Indeed. RIP.

I was trying to remember that quote to post it, nice one chico, real good article there too. Kindelan, another ledge, I remember him boxing Khans ears off in Athens.
I know where he lives and drove past a couple of times but never had the courage to stop and say hello.
Something about the Cuban boxers though isn't there? You've just made me excited for the boxing in the Olympics now.
That quote is beautiful. Some things just can't be bought.
Its a belter lad, was strange to rigondaux fighting in the undercard on sat, mad seeing them without the cuban vest.
When I was chatting about Stevenson, the convo started anout Tom Stalkers chances, so the more people getting into the boxing at the olympics the merrier, despite boxing looking like its going down the toilet, the amateur scene in this country is pretty healthy right now, I hope of few of the lids like yourself give the olympics a chance, its still a long way from what it was, but its getting better, and should be much better than beijing.
Stevenson's passing has reignited my ambition to go to Cuba, gonna have to get meself over there, check a few gyms out an that, might leave the gloves at home though!!
