Tommy Ryan was robbed!!!!

We should've had our 2nd Champion of the season. He dominated and dropped Monzon! Should've been a UD for Ryan!

Absolutely terrible

[armageto]

Duran shoots himself in the foot yet again with his training. His whole season has been a roller coaster between bad decisions, lack of training, etc. I still got you into the H.O.F. at 135 Duran, so we will always remember that season fondly. Still had a nice 154 title run and grabbed a major title.

I thought Ryan edged it with the knockdown. He let Monzon get back into late, which made the fight really close.

Nino Benvenuti would be a contender for all 3 of your titles, and I wouldn't be surprised if you ducked him 3 different times.

Your mom and pop shop outfit just doesn't generate fair revenue......we may be able to find a place for some of your boys as sparring partners....but GBP is on top tier of fictional pugilistics.....whereas your lemonade stand of an organization is rather limited as to just what role you might play within our success design.. It's all very complicated....and we appreciate your interest....we'll be sure to let ya know.

A Lemonade stand? Why you no good......

We've had significantly more success this season than that Dog and Pony show you got going on over there.

Harry Greb has a room on permanent reserve at the MGM Grand because he brought so much pride to that title. Your chump Golovkin can never hope to achieve what he did with that title.

Sugar Ray wins, keeps his championships and breaks 2000 points.

Enjoy it while you can. You're just borrowing Harry Greb's belt until Greb comes and takes it back

Sir....no fighter of yours is worthy of a belt....

EVERY GBP fighter has a nice shiny belt of his own......these are the simple undeniable facts of the matter.

Now get back to the honorable pursuit of being "grist for the mill" of those fighters who are both substantial and successful.

It's always best to know your place.
