yeah I get that, but Ruslan vs Castillo is damn near criminal. Lost respect for Ruslan. He shouldhhave said no. plenty of bums out there to fight, no need to possibly hurt an old shot to shit legend.

I'm not saying that this fight should happen, but people are way more pissed about this than Glenn Johnson fighting the elites well after his prime in his 40's. It's not like Castillo is being stopped every fight. Yory Boy Campas continuing to fight is way worse IMO.

Having said all that, JLC might die /

Glen Johnson could always take a punch though, iron motherfuckin head. I know it happens to plenty of old guys, I just don't like to see it especially against guys with punishing styles like Ruslan.

Daniel Ponce de Leon v Abner MaresThe biggest fight in boxing history is said to be being negotiated. If you don’t believe it, I don’t blame you. But the news is there. Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao news has been all over boxing and news websites. Whether it’s Pacquiao and Arum putting the news out there that they want the fight, or Arum and CBS’ Les Moonves meeting for the fight, or Freddie Roach saying that Mayweather requested a rematch clause, it’s out there.

This week it was reported by the Manila Bulletin that a collective 180 million dollars was guaranteed for a possible Mayweather-Pacquiao fight. 100 million dollars would go to Mayweather and 80 million dollars would go to Mayweather.

But how realistic is that? And who’s behind that?

Is it Oscar De La Hoya?

He took to twitter and stated this “@Sportcenter, I’m prepared to put up the biggest guarantee in sports history, to give the fans #TheFight M @Manny Pacquiao @ FloydMayweather.”

Whether De La Hoya is behind the 180 million dollar guarantee or whether it is even true is yet to be seen. But the positive part here is that there are moving parts outside of the usual suspects that are talking want the fight to happen.

Stay Tuned.

[RM211]

5th round stoppage for Ruslan, Castillo looked terrible in there. Had some good moments cuz ruslan does not box. Stands in front of you and gets hit but hits bacc. Anybody with footwork will beat ruslan...

Crawford all day

 

[battle619]

Vasyl Lomachenko. he got robbed on the Salido fight and schooled the crap out of Russell Jr. Became a featherweight title holder in just his 3rd pro fight.

 

[HERESY]

Crawford.

 

[Coach E. No]

Crawford or Chocaltito.

I think Pacquiao deserves from consideration for handling Bradley who had just soundly defeated Marquez and was coming off of a win of Provodnikov (when he looked a lot better than he does now. Provodnikov looking like crap yesterday kinda hurt Pac's chances though because that made Algieri look worse, especially after Pac wiped the floor with him.

 

[HERESY]

Check out these beautiful instructions by a candidate for trainer of the year.

So at 5:09 TO 5:11 does his other corner tell him "MC SQUARE?"

 

[Coach E. No]

Greatest in fight trainer performance of all time

 

[naner12]

I think FOTY would be either Crawford or Inoue if both win their last 2 fights. I'd likely give it to Inoue considering he'd have won a title in his 7th pro fight then 2 fights later in the same year leaped 2 weight classes and beat the longest reigning title holder in boxing (if he beats Narvaez obviously).

Chocolatito fought 2 guys that shouldn't have been in the ring with him early in the year and Fuentes wasn't that great of a win either. His lineal title winning fight against Yaegashi is really the only stand out fight he's had this year.

.. and no way Lomachenko got robbed against Salido. That fight was close in the ring and it was scored close. Salido did fight pretty dirty but it wasn't poorly scored.

Agreed on all points.

I think they, I guess being The Ring Magazine, will probably give it to Pacquiao because he's the bigger name. ESPN might give it to Crawford or Inoue (probably Crawford since Japanese fighters don't get any love).
