Not knocking anyone in particular just an observation from other threads. :TU:
I've always found it funny how people who hate and whine about Wlad's holding enjoy Ward, Floyd, and Hopkins' holding style.

Not knocking anyone in particular just an observation from other threads. :TU:

Unlike those other fighters, Wlad's fights usually end with a KO/TKO.

I do.

Russia's Sport 1 and Sport 2, Ukraine's INTER, Poland's PolSat & Orange TV, Germany ARD and SAT1, etc.

Often I just download videos after fights have already happened and then watch.

Floyd (used to be at top but has dropped in last year or so as I tire of his endless crap)
Very easy to get tired of his endless crap.The guy as a fighter is brilliant.
Floyd as a human?well I don't even know if you can classify him as one.

He's a saint compared to guys like Sugar ray Leonard and Sugar ray Robinson.

Cotto
Mikey Garcia
Danny Garcia
Crawford
Hopkins
Wlad
Donaire
Wilder
Thurman
Kovalev

No jail time that I know of, but both beat their wives. Especially Robinson, she was pretty much a prisoner in his home. If she dared mention his cheating or speak up for herself about anything he would unload at the blink of an eye. Obviously I wasn't there, but I believe she was battered hundreds of times.

Both were neglectful parents, Leonard really rubs me wrong there after all of those damn commercials using his son.

Jake Lamotta had a history of beating his wife as well. So before anyone goes on their racial spew about black men beating their wives, white fighters have had a history of it as well. Now women have way more rights and much more power when it comes to getting their way in the court room (more so than a man). How times have changed.

Yes, this is certainly true. In fact, all stats and figures locally, nationally and globally back up this argument.
I'm sure it'd be very easy for you to find any data other than 'well, me and my mates think so.'

I had always heard about it, didn't know how drastic it was until I saw HBO's documentary with Robinson's wife and kids. Leonard was so beloved they buried his drug use and domestic abuse in the media.

You can substitute GGG's name with several fighters.So many fans are just overboard with their guy. :TU:

Of course the guy talking about people going overboard thought Broner was the next Floyd and a guy with a 2-1 record is P4P.
