I doubt Floyd's itching to get back in the ring anyway. He probably would have retired earlier if Pacquiao wasn't around to give him incentive. He's killed that elephant and now he's out.

 

[kasane]

if pac called out floyd we might have seen another one, not sure whats in it for floyd now. If manny did indeed call him out i dont think hes pride could let that sit with him and he would get 50 with a win over manny.

 

[TJ Verboten]

Nah I'd rather Boxing not go through that circus again. We already saw Pac get schooled.

I would,.
I think Floyd beats him again but Manny throwing caution to the wind more 2nd time around (if indeed the shoulder was a real thing), maybe he catches him (rd 4 briefly comes to mind when he got him up against the ropes).

Both Floyd and Manny have earned retirement so why not fight each other, neither will suffer crazy damage and it could still be fun.

That's always the plan against Floyd since most submit boxing prowess to him going on. They always say they're gonna go after him, that he can't run from me, then he makes them tentative once the fight settles. Time and time again.

lol... That bad, huh? I remember Manny doing the same thing to Algieri.

 

[paolo11]

I'm happy Manny won but no more fighting for him.

Next match to watch is Ggg and Cholatito. Two great fights.

 

[Turin]

He actually didn't go down that hard. It was a weird looking knockdown.

 

[pixelation]

Color me impressed, Pacquiao looked very good tonight indeed. I do wish that he stays retired... unless Mayweather takes the rematch. Canelo is waaay to big for Pac.

 

[Syphon Filter]

bradley is probably the best boxer right now i think. I can only think of terrence crawford being on his level. I dont think anyone besides floyd or manny can beat bradley.

 

[Syphon Filter]

there are talks of cotto vs marquez, would be amazing.

 

[Tom_Cody]

Keith Thurmna, Errol Spence, Kell Brook, maybe Amir Khan.

Pac-Bradley was a showdown between a 5'6" welterweight against a 5'5" welterweight. Errol Spence is 5'10". The Top Rank fighters have become so sheltered that I think a lot of people have forgotten there are a lot of other talented fighters out there.

 

[Turin]

Errol Spence probably beats anyone at welterweight. Thurman and Khan maybe beat Bradley but it'd be a rough, frustrating night for them.

I'm not sold on Brook AT ALL.

 

[Tom_Cody]

Who are you guys picking for the Errol Spence versus Chris Algieri fight tonight?

This is a big set up for Spence, so I could definitely see it going either way. I'm personally picking Spence to win, and I could definitely see him hurting Algieri along the way.

The undercard has a fantastic cruiserweight fight as well.

 

[3Sixty]

Spence will stop him which is a bit of a statment itself.

[Jarrod38]

Dang Cunningham needs to slow down.

 

[abuC]

BS decision, Browne lost that fight.

 

[jayvo]

BS decision, Browne lost that fight.

Yep, I'm sure that early slip/knockdown influenced that win. That was clearly a slip too.

 

[Jarrod38]

Chris can take a beating.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Chris can take a beating.

yea which is why it will be impressive if errol can put him away.

 

[Syphon Filter]

The punches from errol are clearly hurting algeri, i doubt he survives but it is only 10 rounds.

 

[Syphon Filter]

I knew it! Dam algeri is tough but spence is too powerful and quick!

 

[illmatic22]

Spence is an impressive guy.

 

[scabro]

damn that was good

 

[Jarrod38]

I knew it! Dam algeri is tough but spence is too powerful and quick!

Just to fast.

 

[CopperPuppy]

Spence looked really, really good. The hype is real for The Truth.

 

[Ether_Snake]

Didn't know Spence, gonna keep an eye on him. Good fight for him. Made it look easy.

 

[Syphon Filter]

danny garcia dont want none of this.

 

[abuC]

The bodywork by Spence is really impressive, he'll be avoided like crazy.

 

[illmatic22]

danny garcia dont want none of this.

lot of people won't

 

[Turin]

Spence is the real deal.

That was Hagler-esque.

 

[Tom_Cody]

Amazing performance from Spence. This puts him on the map.

That's impressive. Reminds me of Edwin Valero.

Now that you say that, the KO punch does remind me of one of Valero's specific KOs.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWIRZH5AuwA&feature=youtu.be&t=9m41s

It's funny to rewatch old Valero tape. He was a murderous puncher but his form was terrible. His head stuck straight up.

 

[Tater Tot]

I am a fan of algieri, dude pretty much fought everyone.

He was looking better with his new trainer as well.

Probably will have to face lower level competition now to build himself back up.

You're right. Plus his hand speed is slow.

Great fight if it happens. Postal was hurt against Matthysse, so you'd have to assume that Crawford has enough power to hurt him or maybe even get him out of there. That said, I get the sense that Postol will be disciplined enough to make things interesting.

 

[illmatic22]

Good fight. Got Crawford via KO.

 

[Syphon Filter]

http://boxingjunkie.usatoday.com/20...or-postol-unification-title-bout-july-23-hbo/

ugh so good, about time crawford gets a realer test.

 

[Turin]

Crawford's got this.

 

[Hands of Stone]

2 guaranteed KO's tonight.

We thinking each fight even goes beyond 6?

 

[Syphon Filter]

I don't get why gonzalez never gets big fights?

 

[Hands of Stone]

His fucking sole fell off.

 

[jchap]

Arroyo is hanging in there. Maybe the work rate that Gonzalez has fought at will catch up with him.

 

[studyguy]

Arroyo that dude who bought Addidos out in the garment district of LA instead of real Adidas.

 

[CopperPuppy]

Arroyo the first since Estrada to go the distance.

Respect for being a game opponent.

 

[Ether_Snake]

Damnit I missed the Chocolatito fight, wtf.
