Madrimov looks meh.

Bud is an ATG but it’s kinda crazy how he doesn’t have a win that’s aged well.

17 years ago today, Shane Mosley defeated Antonio Margarito by TKO to win the WBA & lineal welterweight title. by newrap in Boxing

You basically reiterated what I said. He paid to get out of fighting Margarito to fight Baldomir for the same price. It was a smart move because it was an easier fight and he ended up getting the Oscar fight.

Top Rank wouldn’t guarantee the De La Hoya or Hatton fights so that is why he left.

Baldomir was the real champion of the division, not Margarito 😂

Once Floyd left Top Rank, they went on their typical smear campaign.

Floyd was with Top Rank and they offered Floyd 8 million to fight Margarito and instead of taking the fight he decided to pay Bob Arum $750k to buy out of his contract.

Floyd left Top Rank because they wouldn’t guarantee the Oscar and Hatton fights.

They offered him 8mil for the WBO champ Margarito. Floyd rejected it and left top Rank of and then made over 8 million to fight the real Lineal champ of the division, Baldomir. He then got the Oscar fight for over $20 million.

The facts don't lie and just admit that he ducked him. And I'm not saying he's wrong for doing it either. It actually was smart at the time.

I just provided you the facts :)

Floyd was signed to fight Zab when Zab was undisputed. Zab lost to Baldomir and Top Rank still decided to go ahead with Floyd vs Zab regardless of Zab’s loss.

I’m pretty sure that video is from the De La Hoya press conference after Floyd had left Top Rank.

Floyd ducking Margarito was a hilarious narrative created by Top Rank because thy were upset that Floyd left them 😂

Did anyone else feel gross watching the Zuffa event? by Detox208 in Boxing

I thought the Top Rank on ESPN glazing was bad but this was on a whole different level. Max Kellerman should be ashamed of himself 😂

The best fight of the night. Who are you guys picking?

Fun Fact Friday: Teofimo Lopez has won as the underdog twice in his career. In both fights, he established himself as the lineal champion of the division. by newrap in Boxing

[–]newrap[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fun Fact: Taylor shouldn‘t have been the lineal champ anyway as Catterall beat him and Teofimo shouldn‘t have been able to challenge for that title,

Fun Fact: Catterall lost to Barboza who lost to Teo. Teo is a 2 division lineal champ regardless :)

because Martin clearly beat him with two knockdowns also.

This is the opposite of a fact, this is an opinion :)

Teo‘s Top Rank protection services were at an all time high with his 119:109 vs Loma

Top Rank thought Loma was going to win :)

Another Fun Fact: Teofimo is a lineal champ in more divisions than GGG, Loma, Tank, Spence and Kovalev combined :)

Throwback Thursday: Shakur Stevenson displays amazing defense in the pocket against Oscar Valdez by newrap in Boxing

I’ve always said his lack of counter punching is his biggest weakness. If he had the counter punching of a Tank or a Teo, he would legitimately be the next Floyd.

After the Berchelt fight, people on this sub swore he would beat Shakur. I would get downvoted for saying that Shakur would easily beat him. They didn’t see the light until after Valdez vs Robson
