Re: J'Leon Love
Love is just not that good. When he was a prospect with only a few fights under his belt I saw him clearly lose to a scrub in a 4-rounder, but he was gifted the decision anyway. I wonder how many other highly touted prospects only have a 0 on their record because of dubious judging.
Re: J'Leon Love
I wasn't that impressed with Love coming into this fight in the first place, nice left hook from Porky to finish him off ... can't believe I'm actually calling a fighter Porky.

People keep saying 'other people' were hyping Love. I haven't came across anyone who thought Love was any good.

Re: J'Leon Love
LOL but true. I mean I can see he's a guy who's gonna win more fights than he loses by a fair margin cuz a lot of mfers suck really bad, but I never had a moment watching J'Leon fight where it was like seeing a young Roy, Floyd, Shane or whoever fight. And thats huge name kinda guys so maybe thats not even fair. When I saw Abner Mares fight his pro debut I was like this mfer is gonna be a champion one day. I never saw that or had that sorta moment with J'Leon.world ranked wrote:People keep saying 'other people' were hyping Love. I haven't came across anyone who thought Love was any good.

Re: J'Leon Love
It was the "Mayweather effect" and the TV companies had to push him as a result. To me he always looked like an athlete who became a boxer as opposed to a boxer with athletic traitsworld ranked wrote:People keep saying 'other people' were hyping Love.

I know but its hard to say he was hype if no one thought nothing of him in the first place.Boxing Prospect wrote:It was the "Mayweather effect" and the TV companies had to push him as a result.

TV networks certainly thought much of him if they kept giving him chance after chance :)world ranked wrote:I know but its hard to say he was hype if no one thought nothing of him in the first place.Boxing Prospect wrote:It was the "Mayweather effect" and the TV companies had to push him as a result.

I'm sure if we re-watch some of them fights we'll hear plenty of nut hugging from commentators as well.
