Hope Froch gets KO'd.

No need for those comments, went beyond hyping up a fight.

Bollocks

If anything, he should have gone further

That was a lovely shot by Golovkin on Macklin. The was talk of putting Cesar Chavez jr in with him once his drug ban is up. I'd prefer to see Golovkin in against Martinez myself. Some fights coming up soon that I'm intrested in. Bradley vs Marquez, Manny vs Rios, Mayweather vs Alvarez, Bj Saunders vs John Ryder and the rematch between Price and Thompson. Good few month of Boxing in place.

Some decent match ups there, think Bradley will get beat easily by Marquez.

Hoping Manny can still do it, its a good match up imo, style wise, if Manny can't do a number on Rios then I reckon its pretty clear the game is up.

A tough one for Mayweather, Alvarez will be a lot bigger and stronger than what Guerrero was, love to see Alvarez win but I see him coming up short, could be a close fight though.

Risky fight for Price too, where does he go if he gets ko'd again by thompson?

I was perhaps a tad over zealous earlier in regards to the Froch comments

That being said, boxers need to do more to hype their fights

UFC Fighters are guilty of it too sometimes (Although guys like Chael Sonnen are brilliant at it)

NOTHING annoys me more when I watch a fight of any kind than when the post fighter interviewer asks the winner who they want to fight next and they say "I'll fight whoever they tell me to/Whoever they put in front of me"

NO!

Have a promo ready FFS!

Challenge the popcorn vendor if you have to, just DON'T give that crappy answer!

This isn't the WWE thread mate, it's boxing, these lads aren't acting.

To be honest I prefer less thrash talking out of fighters, there going to be in the ring soon enough knocking the heads off each other so why the need for bs chat in the build up.

There was a fight between Malignaggi and Broner last week and the stuff both fighters were coming out with in the build up to it was embarrassing.

Muhammad Ali chatted all sorts and drew massive crowds as a result

It's ingrained in boxing and the elitist boxing fans need to embrace it more, In my opinion

Not everyone needs to do it but you need some who do

GSP never really cuts promo's but he doesn't need to if Nick Diaz is cutting them. He can just react and be himself

Similiar with Ali and Frazier

Or you could have the greatest martial artist who walks this earth respect his opponents then kick their face into row z.

Go ask Chael 'talking' Sonnen who that is.

You seem to want a lot of the entertainment to come from outside of the ring, which is fair enough, I prefer the stuff that goes on inside the ring.

I prefer the guys who act with a bit of class outside as well as inside the ring.

Some of the stuff that went on between Ali and Frazier was disgusting, especially from Ali's side.

Like the way he "respected" Damien Meia?

Think your merging wrestling with boxing.

As Hemmingway said "boxing is the most honest conversation two men can have".

We don't need promo videos, it's all about respect.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

I'm sure Chael Sonnen can always look to the PPV money he drew and the fact he pretty much has a job for life as some small consolation that Anderson Silva and Jon Jones defeated him

Go ask Chael P Sonnen how he got on against Maia?

I was there if you want me to explain in detail.

Oh FFS, is there not a UFC thread, hahaha.

Not really

The biggest boxing matches have been that way because of promo's

Mayweather is living proof of that

He could also look at the fact he was never a champion in MMA yet talked himself into the titles fight, got blasted in 2, got popped for steroids and was also found guilty of money laundering.
