2011 Official Boxing Thread: 12/30 Jermain Taylor + Andre Dirrell return on ShoBox.

[makita]

Off topic from all the Cotto, Marg, Cintron talk.
But Ken Norton had one of the best physiques (no ayo) in boxing history.

 

[morningstar7777]

Look at his legs tho (no ayo)

TONS of fighters have/had amazing physiques. But it ain't fair cuz Ken Norton's seemed natural.

I believe Cotto will win although I do fear that he will be exhausted by the 10th round.
I just hope cotto beats Margarito like Mosley & PAC did.

But look at most boxers in his era (and most in general).
The only one I can think of (now) that has monster legs is Pacquiao.

I'm backing you on this.  Something tells me Cintron is going to surprise a lot of people and GBP's is going realize they made a mistake putting him in with a fighter they think is done but will make for a good name on Alvarez' resume. Alvarez has been pretty protected up this point fighting either: c-level fighters, blown-up fighters, and/or guys who can't crack.  Cintron is taller than Alvarez, can punch, and can box if you give him space and Alvarez isn't a pressure fighter.

I'm going to throw a few buck on Cintron because my mind keeps telling me he's going to pull a "James Kirkland" this weekend

Cintron has a chance Saul is a very good fighter but this is a step up for him. Cintron will give him angles he's never seen and Cintron can punch. I just hope he doesn't leapfrog out of the ring again.

I'm definitely putting money on Cintron at around +700.  The thing is he's probably not getting any favors in the event of a close fight so don't go crazy

my book has Cintron just to win at +550, where are you getting +700? is that for Cintron inside the distance?

Tyson really kissed that dude on the lips at 7:35? He's lucky social media wasn't around back then, dude would've been clowned even more about his voice.

Vicious though...

Mills Lane.

I might catch some heat for this, but Tyson is overrated. But then we wouldn't know how his career would have turned out if he didn't go to prison.
