10% chance of beating kessler, 25% of beating Bute, 33% of beating Froch, don't really know much about Balzsay except that he outpointed Dennis Inkin whichis a pretty damn nice win. I like Inkin as a fighter.

 

[proshares]

I think he has a better chance of beating Bute who has the weakest chin out of the 4. I don't even see Green beating Andrade to be completely honest.He's not as fast as Jermaine so I don't think he's hitting Froch with ease like Taylor was. That fight with Miranda just soured me on the kid.

Is Vera that guy that fought Kirkland?

 

[proshares]

yea Kirkland beat the hell out of him.

he was very active the past year so proably taken a couple months off, but there has been no good names throwing around to fight him

No one wants to fight him. Unlike Winky, he's not pricing himself out of fights. The only names I've heard are Sergio Martinez and a really outsideshot with Chad Dawson if he moves down to 168.

Last year, he was but its already May and he doesn't even have another fight lined up

I understand people are ducking him but come on you gotta go out there and fight somebody


He can't pay Mayorga to take another beating?

Whats Fernando Vargas up to these days?

 

[gunna get it]

String, I missed FNF's last nite... Did I miss anything good? what did BHop talk about in studio?

and Paul is trying to get Calzaghe to come outta retirement, isnt he?

He would be smart to not sign anything til after Clottey/Cotto

maybe, just maybe the winner gets brave

 

[stringer bell 32]

I recorded FNF and I was gonna watch it after or before the Dawson fight tonight


I think Paul's days at welter are behind him...no one is gonna try him at 147

 

[bigmike23]

im with u string i dont see paul fighting at 147 anymore

 

[eagle 0n]

Did I miss anything good? what did BHop talk about in studio?

They talked about Pac vs. Hatton, PBF vs JMM, Pac vs PBF

Also talked about Dawson v. Tarver -- BHop said Tarver might have a chance tonight and that whoever wants to fight him (BHop) is gonna have to pay him muchodinero.

 

[gunna get it]

trust, if there's more than $2 Mill on the table and a name like Shane, Cotto or CLottey offers, Paul is gonna be at 147 to fight again

BHop aint slick, he purposely pricing himself out of a Dawson fight, he already made it perfectly clear he wants no parts of Bad Chad

 

[bigmike23]

I'm pretty sure bhop on the get a big pay day or just hang it up stage

Did I miss anything good?
Vera/McEwen fight wasn't bad...Roach with another victory.

You blame him though? Chad is a lot more dangerous than Kelly was when Bernard took that fight and he's not going to get the money he wantsto fight him anyway.

yarp, he's half a decade to 50 years of age, he's gotta make his last fights count (monetarily).

 

[jagshemash]

I can admit as a Hopkins fan that he wants no part of Dawson. He never brings his name up even though he's the elephant in the room when talking aboutpotential opponents. It would be a bad style matchup for Hopkins at this stage in his career but I think you have to give him a pass because of his age andthe fact that's he already proven himself. Instead he seems to be going after slower, more one-dimensional guys he can handle like Adamek and Froch.

I aint even bad talkin Bernard.
He has faced all challengers, Im just sayin he actin like he got a open contract signed lol

He did mention Dawson on the 1st FNFs he co-hosted and said he didnt wanna fight Dawson cus he wouldnt wanna ruin another young champion

here's what I wrote when he said it

@$@% outta here!

 

[jagshemash]

Yea, saying he doesn't want to ruin younger guys is a weak excuse

I remember him saying something like that before he fought Pavlik but I guess he only meant "younger guys" *cough* who are a threat.

 

[stringer bell 32]

So I'm watching FNF and I guess Roach was on Brian Kenny's radio show and he said that


Manny won't wait for PBF

Manny is going to wait for Cotto / Clottey and would be winning to fight Miguel at 143 or possibly Shane at 143

He also mentioned Victor Ortiz, Amir Khan and Edwin Valero ( who the @$%$ is Roach trying to fool with those names?)


I'm pulling for Josh no more than ever. I guess I could live with Pac man vs Shane

 

[bigmike23]

^ that was posted a page or 1 back. why would anyone move down to fight manny tho is my question? he moved up to fight DLH at 147

 

[stringer bell 32]

I was thinking the same thing but Manny is the money maker in the sport

He has the leverage to dictate his terms, I suppose

 

[bigmike23]

 

[proshares]

I don't see Cotto moving down to fight Manny. If that fight goes down (assuming he beats Clottey) they'll either be fighting for the belt or notfighting at all.

If Clottey wins he's not getting Manny. Sugar Roid would maul Manny IMO.
