Doesn't Floyd Mayweather duck opponents sometimes? I'm saying this a guy that doesn't watch/like Boxing. Every great fighter who ever laced up the gloves was accused of "ducking" someone. Everybody thinks that their guy should be a top contender, and if the Champion doesn't recognize that, then they're "ducking" them. ... that said, most fighters do try to avoid fighting guys who are bad for their particular style, as muta pointed out LOL |

(After a short Google) Apparently people claim he ducked Charley Burley. |

So anyway did Hulk Hogan actually show up on WWE tv yet or what? Yeah, back on Monday. He made a fool of himself...(He had only the slightest idea what he was saying) |

Ray Robinson wasn't the greatest boxer of all time, "Hammerin'" Henry Armstrong was.

Ray Robinson wasn't the greatest boxer of all time, "Hammerin'" Henry Armstrong was. Ray Robinson was great in every aspect of boxing. He was great at everything. He may not have been the best at any one aspect, but that's not who Robinson was. He was a well-rounded fighter who was great at everything, he just wasn't the GREATEST at anything other than being a well rounded fighter. However despite not being the greatest at any specific thing, he can still rank up in the top 10 of every single aspect. Footwork, power, punch speed, you name it. Robinson was near perfect in there. Armstrong was close, but in the end Robinson is the better boxer, but only by a margin. Robinson is the number 1, Armstrong is the number 2. Armstrong was close, but close does not get you the proverbial cigar. |

if not for a bad decision Armstrong would have been the only man to have been linear world champion in 4 true weight classes. a natural featherweight to challenge for the middlewight title is unheard of.
and burt sugar can eat a dick..

Huh, that actually didn't strike me as a fumble at all, he just went out and shilled for the WWE Network for three straight minutes. No more, no less. Maybe I'm cynical but a lot of those cheers during his entrance and "listening" gestures sounded quite obviously piped in, though. Is this the first time that he's been back since the Mr. America thing? I don't remember if that was before or after his match with Shawn at Summerslam. |

Hmm...I thought it sounded like he was fumbling through it. Sure it may not have been as bad as the "You got the wrong gay...guy..." promo, but it's still pretty bad. |

Lol nah, not that bad. I dunno, to me it sounded like typical "marketing promo" Hogan, the one that I've been used to seeing for the last decade or so. Nothing at all special, but nothing that struck me as terrible. Middle of the road serve its purpose type of stuff.
My favorite bad promo of his might be his Wrestlemania VII rant when he forgot Saddam Hussein's name in the middle of his lines. "SERGEANT SLAUGHTER'S REIGN IS GONNA BE JUST LIKE - E, UHHHH ...............
(Mean Gene): I know exactly what you're talking-
- "YOU KNOW WHAT, BROTHER! ...IT'S GONNA BE JUST LIKE SOO-DAM'S REIGN IN KUWAIT BROTHER, IT'S GONNA BE...OOONNNNNLLLLYYYY TEMPORARYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

fights fall through over purse splitting also. Pacquaio/Mayweather (according to "reports") never got closer than a 70-30 split. then factor in Mayweather's insisting on Olympic testing..
