Canelo Trout fight was a joy to watch, I had Canelo winning by at least 3 rounds, I thought he looked a level above Trout.

I know it doesn't always work like this but if Canelo handily beat Trout who to my eyes beat Cotto easier than Floyd did then Canelo's ready for Floyd right now.

hes the toughest opponent out there no doubt, young strong talented and hungry, please make this fight

After Martinez, maybe.

I'm with leighton, wouldn't mind a Trout rematch at a different venue without the open scoring.

yeah wouldnt mind a rematch but just see a more one sided fight next time, think mayweather handles martinez myself but yep its one of the better fights

Seen it was split for a lot of the so called writers. I think the judging was piss poor at times in some of the fights. It seems in some of the fights the crowd favourite is getting every close call on the rounds. I cant beleive that they wont judge a round 10 - 10 if its close and there has to be a winner of each round madness.

It's always been like that.

How to score a fight is a debate that will run and run. It's an imperfect system that they use now but it's probably better than the alternatives. I agree with you about the need to call a round a draw.

Checking through Martinez' record I noticed he fought in town in 2003 against Richard Williams. Don't remember that at all. Must've been an undercard fight even though it was for a title

your right about crowd fighters and thats how i cant get my head round the Pac man v Bradley outcome, just so strange, i went to bed at the final bed that night and only found out what happened the next day

True it was strange saying that Pacman has got some favourable results over the years be it against Marquez in some of the wars they had.

yeah he has, Marquez 1-2 i thought Marquez did enough but can see it both ways, was gripped in the first fight, but number 3 was a bad decision for me, can never call Pacman though win or lose he's been a great fighter and in some wonderful fights, obviously if anything came to light in the future i would change my mind but i saw him live v Diaz at lightweight i think it was and remember coming out thinking he's fxxking awesome

 

[leighton]

I think the Money fight and him not doing the Olympic testing got a lot a question marks as since then Pacman hasnt been able to blast people out of the ring. He had stopage wins over Hatton and Cotto to name 2 and then looked poor since then and not as explosive in the other fights. I dont know if he is going to fight. Also no fight lined up so far is a bit weird for me. Maybe he is having second thoughts and might call it a day.

Audley Harrison you're a fraud. I could have put in a better shift myself.

Are you watching his post fight interview? He got to be taking the piss hasn't he? "I felt comfortable in there!" "I thought I could negate him with my speed!!"
Wow

 

[Manchester1894]

With Fraudley, then Nate Campbell, and Mr Khan, it's one the poorest cards in a long while. Typical Frank Warren lineup. Who the f*** pays for boxnation?? The only great fighter on his books is Billy Joe Saunders.

yep, on his arse again against a diaz.

 

[Manchester1894]

lol

@SpecialKBrook
That will teach you to come to my town!

 

[mcfc_blueboy]

Terry "turbo" from Miles Patting looks a decent fighter. He fought well in the prizefighter.

 

[Irwell]

Amir Khan just isn't a good pro boxer. His hand speed makes him quite good as an amateur, but he has no power to his punch and a chin of glass. That may have been a 'win' for him, but he was badly rocked a few times. He 'won' by picking up points. Against a decent fighter in their prime he will get floored every single time. I wish he'd just quit the sport.
