Boxing-vs-UFC/MMA

[RosettaStoned]

Also on that point, the UFC operates in a bubble, they cant really talk about the history of the sport if some fighters didnt sign or play ball with them, they threw out major parts of MMA history or they cant talk about other current fighters that are not in the UFC and it lessens the sport as a whole, for a sport that is so young to just disregard certain parts of its history is lame, I know why they do it, but it doesnt make it right

They talk about shit outside the UFC all the time. They even talk about Fedor on the UFC video game.

Lmao @ Cotto/Clottey being a big time fight.

For Boxing and Boxing Fans, ( which you clearly are not) Cotto-Clottey is a big fight.. just because you dont know the names doesnt mean it wasnt a big fight..... now Cotto gets to fight PacMan...... just because you dont care for a sport doesnt mean you should bash it.....

I know the names. It's not a big fight. Cotto/PacMan is a decent fight, it will draw huge numbers because of Pacman. Too be honest, not caring for a sport is the perfect reason to bash it.

lol @ all the time, just because Joe likes to keep his UG street cred and throws out Fedors name doesnt mean all the time, please

UFC operates ina bubble and is run like the WWE

Also, Lampley is a tool, but he knows more about boxing and the history of the sport than Goldie, Gus Johnson and Kenny Rice combined, he knows his sport and thats nice to have from a commentator

just stop, you add nothing to this debate, you dont even think Cotto/Clottley is a big fight and now Cotto/Pac Man is a 'decent fight'

you are now just following in your pattern of posting just post and trying to be 'edgy' its getting old RS

Pacman is going to destroy Cotto. Not really a big fight IMO. There are only two big fights for Pacman at this point.

Pacman is going to destroy Cotto. Not really a big fight IMO. There are only two big fights for Pacman at this point.

and you know this because you follow the sport so closely? or by not watching Cotto's last fight?

you are posting about something you already said you dont have any interest in, dont even watch and you think 'sucks', so why are you even making posts like this?

doesnt even matter if you are right or wrong at this point, you have zero credibility in this thread, but please, proceed...

Pacman is gonna destroy Cotto? really? what is that based on..... i am simply curious at this point...... has Pac-Man destroyed anyone above 140 that was credible at the weight they fought? oh wait.... i shouldnt go too far into the boxing questions i forgot your not a fan...... :shot:

Lmao, you've been chugging Frank's cock for far too long. I've heard talk about a number of fighters outside the UFC, from Aoki, to to Kid, to Gomi. You're absurdly hilarious.

 

[RosettaStoned]

has Pac-Man destroyed anyone above 140 that was credible at the weight they fought?

Didn't he just knock Hatton the fuck out?

thats because they were trying to sign Gomi and he was at the shows, like I said, just because Joe mentions a name here and there doesnt mean thats not how they have always done business

like when they used to say 'uhh, this guy used to fight in Japan', or have pretty much erased Tito, Frank, Frye or whoever isnt a part of the Zuffa UFC, they wouldnt even show Randy on camera in the corner of his fighter and no one even mentioned he was corning his fighter

This is how the UFC does business, everyone knows why they do it, they are protecting there brand, they control the announcers (Joe get a little free reign), the press (kicking out certain website media that dont have a pro UFC vibe), etc.. if you dont think so you're in the clouds

right now it is run more like the WWE than a sport where its open and a part of a whole sport that is going on outside of the UFC

looks like you hit your next spot on your posting checklist, start with the stupid insults that bring nothing to the table, proceed...

that fight was at 140, he said above 140

 

[JrRawlins]

Didn't he just knock Hatton the fuck out?

reading is fundamental..... Is Hatton a big time boxer? and while Hatton was decent at 140.... he always struggled with speed doesnt move his head at all and was an easy target for Manny.... name a bigtime fighter Hatton has beaten besides Kostya Tszyu....i'll wait.....

oh damn, im waiting for no reason... your not a boxing fan......


Hatton's his career is essentially over now..... two big fights, two bad knockouts.... He has to go back to the drawing board.... not sure if he wants any parts of any of the top 140 pound fighters right now either such as..... oh wait..... your not a boxing fan....

 

[RosettaStoned]

thats because they were trying to sign Gomi and he was at the shows, like I said, just because Joe mentions a name here and there doesnt mean thats not how they have always done business

This wasn't when they were trying to bring him in. He's talked about him during BJ Penn fights, and when talking about Nick Diaz, who also isn't in the UFC.

like when they used to say 'uhh, this guy used to fight in Japan', or have pretty much erased Tito, Frank, Frye or whoever isnt a part of the Zuffa UFC, they wouldnt even show Randy on camera in the corner of his fighter and no one even mentioned he was corning his fighter

Again, they talked about Randy and Tito during both of their hiatuses. Just because they didn't point out that Randy was cornering somebody doesn't mean shit. How often do they point the corner out?

This is how the UFC does business, everyone knows why they do it, they are protecting there brand, they control the announcers (Joe get a little free reign), the press (kicking out certain website media that dont have a pro UFC vibe), etc.. if you dont think so you're in the clouds

They do some of this, but not anywhere near the extent you're implying.

right now it is run more like the WWE than a sport where its open and a part of a whole sport that is going on outside of the UFC

How often do you hear about professional leagues outside the US when watching an NBA game?

looks like you hit your next spot on your posting checklist, start with the stupid insults that bring nothing to the table, proceed...

You bring nothing to the table with weaker insults. How refreshing.

Castillo.

What the fuck does that have to do with anything?

 

[Liquidrob]

I have not insulted you, you brought up you dont follow boxing and watch the fights, not me

I still dont know why you are posting fight predictions and trying to talk about something you yourself said you dont put in the effort to follow

I watch some of the fights. I didn't watch the Cotto fight. I used to follow the sport, but now it sucks so I don't so much. So you think Cotto will beat Manny?

 

[JrRawlins]

Lmao...
Castillo.
What the fuck does that have to do with anything?

Castillo......

damn, again i cant laugh at you too hard.... you arent a boxing fan, yet you continue to make prediction and try to show knowledge of the sport..... sigh.... real quick... did you watch the Hatton Castillo fight? if you did you would know that Castillo had to lose 3 pounds the day of the weigh-in, not only that, Castillo was a shell of his former shelf and in serious financial debt which is the main reason he even took the fight.....not to mention Castillo never held a belt at 140 nor has he fought at 140 since that fight...which again, bring me back to my original question what 140 pound fighter has Ricky Hatton defeated that would be considered elite (besides Kotzya) at that weight class? ..

the answer is no one..... he was a product of the media essentially, fought the fight of his life against Kotzya.... beat a couple of washed-up scrubs called out Floyd and Pacman and got knocked out.... which essentially ended his career...

 

[RosettaStoned]

which again, bring me back to my original question what 140 pound fighter has Ricky Hatton defeated that would be considered elite (besides Kotzya) at that weight class?

That actually wasn't your question, but whatever. You think Cotto will beat Manny?
