Welcome.
Taylor vs Vasquez fight was really good. Scrappy first round followed by a bit of a war where both men took punishing shots but managed to stay aggressive. I feel like Taylor really proved his worth.

Agreed, very nice performance by Taylor. I will look forward to following his career. A title shot can't be far off.
Devon Alexander returns tomorrow night after a long absence. Considering how crowded the welterweight division is at the moment, there is a good chance we'll see him in with a top guys. He's only 30, so he could definitely make another title run.
Here's my favorite Alexander highlight. HBO got the hypetrain going bigtime after this one.

He's old and shit. His body is past being able to do it anymore, he should retire already. He's looked like shit since his return from the shoulder injury that made him pull out of the Fury fight.
Win or lose Cotto will end his illustrious career as a champion and one of the previous generation's greats. A sure fire Hall of Famer. Hoping Miguel gets a spectacular win tonight to bring home to Puerto Rico in his final fight at MSG. I think Cotto gave Floyd his toughest challenge in his career. Will always remember that revenge match with cheating ass Margarito.
So is Tyson Fury truly coming back? The guy ruined his body and will never be the same. 2015 Fury beats Wilder and Joshua in the same night.
Tough loss to swallow for Cotto's final time out. But nevertheless much respect for everytime he stepped in that ring. Never felt short changed with Miguel's effort when he fought. Enjoy the retirement and his family time, most definitely earned it. Salute and blessings to one of the greats.
Miguel Cotto is one of my favorite fighters but he did not give Mayweather his toughest challenge. He certainly gave him a better fight than most did.
Top 3 challenge for Floyd at the very least. Castillo and Maidana being the other 2. Maybe the rematches cloud my judgement cause the rematches with the two were such a wash for Mayweather.
Zab only really gave Floyd a challenge during the early rounds until he got downloaded. Probably gotten TKO'd if not for the low blows. Shane hit Floyd with those two bombs, but was negated throughout the entire match afterwards. Unlike most opponents, I felt that Cotto was competitive the entire fight, even though Floyd was the clear and decisive winner.
OK. Now we're in agreement. Damn, that was a pretty good summary. I couldn't help but smile while reading it. Now the Cotto pre Margarito might've been Mayweather's toughest challenge but we'll never know.
Cotto and Floyd were killers in those lower divisions man. I wish that they met at earlier stages in their careers, but both being the draws for Arum in Top Rank, it never came to fruition until later on.
I also was hoping each of them got to fight Paul Williams back in those years when Paul was one of the rising contenders. Unfornately Paul's career got halted by that accident.

Even before the accident, Paul Williams was on the decline of his career after being KO'd by Martinez at Middleweight and looking shot at Jr. Middle against Erslandy Lara. They were serving him up next as fodder for the rising Canelo which at the time was an intriguing matchup for young superstar.
He was an absolute beast of a welterweight though. 6'1 (I think he might've even undersold his height a bit) with longer reach than Ali. Ridiculous work rate and even liked to fight inside for whatever reason.
Only misstep was against Quintana where he just had a really off night. Blasted him in the rematch.
Pre Sergio Paul Williams was a beast for sure.
Ishida doesn't go the distance with Williams if it wasnt for that Martinez KO. Ishida probably loses via TKO.
Lara is a durable fighter, he might still be able to go the distance. He's only lost to Canelo and Paul. And we know Canelo can thump.
Highlight reel of Paul Williams up to the Kermit Cintron decision.

Allegedly. I won't believe it until the first round of his comeback fight has started though.
I was at the fight last night. Great atmosphere. Huge cheers for Cotto (and huge boos for Ali, lol).
It was a nice performance, but 154 is too stacked for Ali to make my top 5. It looks like Eddie Hearn is trying to set up a fight between Kell Brook and Ali, and I could definitely get behind that one.

Wilder still ducking Joshua with his split demands:
"It is a great fight, it is one of the biggest fights in the world and everyone wants it. It will be 50-50 or else we don't see a fight,"
Looks like Joshua will be feasting on Parker next, followed by the winner of Fury vs Bellew?

Thanks for putting it up. I don't have the ability to make threads yet.
No problem. If anyone thinks more stuff should be added to the OP, let me know.
I only saw the highlights of the DeGale fight but I'm disappointed he lost. Looks past it to be honest. Could have easily had a better career than this.
The guy only trained seriously for two months. If he has anyone to blame for his loss during the weekend, it's himself. He let himself down for this bout.

Dude, what was your username in the other place?
Was he that good tonight? I wasn't able to watch his fight tonight.

First time ever watching him.
Saunders looked like Mayweather in there against Lemieux: boxing beautifully, controlling distance with his jab, frustrating Lemieux with his footwork, painting Lemieux's face with accurate punches. Worse yet, taunting Lemieux and the crowd, showboating, and talking dat shit. LOL
He made a fan out of me tonight.
Lol. I, before editing, thought you were lightskintwin (no racial), but edited my post because I didn't want come off as racist and petty, lol.
Was he that impressive?! Holy shit I'm going to need to catch a YouTube of it. Who do you think he should fight next?
