dragonei Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 The way I see it, the real money is in the 140-147 divisions. Good thing manny is where the money is. Walang kakwenta kwenta talaga ang heavyweight division ngayon. No wonder its almost been a decade since a main heavyweight event was held in vegas. The Klitschko bros are over rated. Yeah sure they are good, but thats only because there isn't much competition in that division anyway. After Lennox and Tyson retired talagang naging boring na ang heavyweight fights. Now its just a couple of over grown guys who have mediocre fighting skills. Im afraid that the light heavyweight division is also starting to deteriorate. With Tarver, Hopkins, and Jones Jr. all leading towards retirement. Chad dawson could not even sell 2500 tickets. Quote Link to comment

Yeah gone are the days na me Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis, Foreman, etc... ngaun swerte ni Manny kasi weightclass nila ang may mga explosive, moneymaking boxers currently. And He ranks among the elite. I have said before... Manny has the RIGHT to venture into whatever Political position. Pero sana AFTER na ng boxing career niya.... Quote Link to comment

dragonei Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Its important for every fighter to be in the right division. Thats how he gets recognition. We have 3 or 4 boxing champions, pero si manny lang ang sikat even if he does not hold a belt. Nietes is in a division nobody would want to fight in and watch for, with his age. Same thing for gerry, he is a good fighter but just not pound for pound material. Boom boom bautista Im afraid is hangang continental championship lang. The good thing about manny is he took on the best in the featherweight divisions (barrera, morales, and marquez), plus he also was never afraid to take on other guys in other divisions. He smoked de la hoya, and he wasted hatton. He flies from one division to the other whackin out guys everytime. That is the luck guys like nietes, and penalosa could never have. But donaire looks really promising, since he took care of Darchinyan. Tingin ko me igagaling pa ito. The thing is, back in the days nobody would pay to see smaller guys fight. The money and recognition was always in the heavyweight division. Back then being heavyweight world champion actually was the greatest sports title. Now its just a joke, when you have guys like chagaev who is the joke champion of the WBA, and the Klitschko brothers who wont fight each other, WTF? Sadly, the world may not see how good wladimir klitschko is, since he never really fights a worthy challenger. I fell asleep (and I meant that litterally) in the Klitschko Rahman fight.

jerzz Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 (edited) oo nga wala ng heavyweight sa Amerika puro sa Europa na lang. Wala ng tatalo kay Wladimir Klitschko sa boxing maliban siguro sa kapatid niyang si Vitali Klitschko. Hindi naman nila kasalanan na wala silang ka match pero malas nila wala masyadong pera. Yung pinakahuli kong napanood na medyo match ay si Lennox Lewis vs Vitali Klitschko. Edited June 22, 2009 by jerzz Quote Link to comment

Chagaev is ranked no 3 by ring magazine, he has solid credential and rich amateur background, he is a worthy challenger but was just too small and no match for Wlad. There is really no worthy challenger, Wlad will knock out all of them. The 7'0 Valuev doesn't want to fight him. Quote Link to comment
tagalupa Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 While Cotto would love to fight Pacman at 147 and Pacman at 140, personally, I'd love to see the fight at 147. Yes, even as I am a diehard Pacman fan. Why? To scale the highest peak that no other boxer has done before. 6 world titles in 6 weight divisions! From flyweight to welterweight! Pacman can take this guy. He's slow (now, after the Margarito fight, he has lost something). Purse split at 65-35 or 60-40. Nothing less. i heard kahit 144 or 145 nakataya parin yun belt ni cotto kaya kung manalo si DIONESIA cia ang KAUNA UNAHANG BOXER SA MUNDO NA MERON 7 WORLD TITLES IN 7 DIFFERENT DIVISION and kahit si FR mas gusto ang 145 for Manny...and sa hatian 65-35 or 60-40 favor for the WORLD'S BEST POUND FOR POUND KING DIONESIA PACQUIAO! Hahaha Quote Link to comment

I guess si Nonito Donaire will go a long way pero not to greatness status. Si Boom boom tingin ko din continental lang. The only defeat ni manny na napanood ko na kawawa talaga sya was nung dehydrated sya against CHATCHAI SASAKUL... i will never forget that name... nagpagulong gulong sa canvas si idol nun. After that he rose to greatness..... Vladimir Klitschko should move sa MMA or UFC, wala na talaga syang decent opponent sa boxing. Go to FACEBOOK and become a fan of MAN......ALING DIONISYA!

wizard23 Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 just heard from the news tonight (24 Oras), Manny said his fight with Cotto is his last because he's preparing next year for the congressional elections. Quote Link to comment

ryujin6190 Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Oo nga, kapag pareho ng resulta nung 2006 elections, boxing ulit si PacMan. Galing sa angkan ng mga pulitiko ang makakalaban niya sa 2010 elections. Quote Link to comment
