Greggulator Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I don't really know anything about boxing. I was reading Grantland's year-end piece and discovered Charlie Zelenoff. What can you all tell me about this maniac? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 So for the first time, Mayweather publicly said he wants to fight Pacquiao, which I read as him finally convincing Manny to take less money for the fight. Still don't fully believe the fight will happen, but Manny has been very vocal lately about wanting the fight. Bob Arum is still the person holding this back the most though. I will believe it when Manny's camp says it's going to happen. I would watch out of morbid curiosity. This fight should've happened back in 2009. With Manny's mystique blemished by getting KTFO by Marquez, the bloom has left the rose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Stiverne kinda seemed apathetic for a chunk of that fight, from the gloves-touching to him standing there like he was told what was best for business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 I dunno if it is just the hair and similar body frame, but I was thinking Haitian Dereck Chisora (vs. anyone worth a damn). Yeah, someone like Wilder is going to chew you up with a flicker jab all night from distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 now if they pair Wilder against a taller opponent, how much of Wilder's game changes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious Darius Bagfelt Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 now if they pair Wilder against a taller opponent, how much of Wilder's game changes? Not much. I can imagine Wilder vs Klitschkos. Both guys holding left hands in front of each others face and grappling around. I wanted to see what would happen when Wilder ate a couple of punches. So far so good. Wilder against Tyson Fury might be fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Edwin Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Apparently Floyd vs. Manny is happening in May. Or at least this is the closest we've been to them ever been of the fight actually pan out. And yes, I know, it's 5 years to late, but still you know you're interested in it.
