TheWalletInspector Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 "Pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao’s trusted adviser Michael Koncz says that the WBO welterweight champion will defend his title at the 147 pound limit dispelling reports that he would ask Clottey to agree to a catch-weight of 145 pounds just like he did in the title fight against Miguel Cotto. Koncz told us there had been no indication from Pacquiao that he wanted to impose a catch-weight and even Top Rank promoter Bob Arum told us earlier in the week that the fight was agreed to at 147 pounds although Pacquiao generally comes in at around 144-145 pounds. Pacquiao’s lawyer Franklin “Jeng” Gacal was one of those quoted as saying they would push for a catch-weight of 145 but this was expected to get a negative reaction from the foreign media and fight fans who generally frown on catch-weight arrangements pointing out that if a fighter is a champion in a particular weight division he must be prepared to fight at that weight."

CastleBromVilla Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I'm starting to wonder if Rickys comeback will be against Floyd you know....one last big payday then goodbye. I hope not, hope he chooses a reasonably easy fight and then retires, it'd be the ultimate humiliation for him to lose to a glass jaw like Khan in his last fight. I had considered that. Floyd would jump at the chance and Ricky seens to have convinced himself that he was in the fight. Hopkins/Jones 2 is signed apparently Why doesn't Jones just retire? I thought that Aussie guy that beat Jones Jr was supposed to be fighting Hopkins anyway? Mayweather should stay away from the Hitman aswell, he'll **** him up. Theres only onnnnnnne Ricky Hatton.....

Danny Green wants a 50/50 split. Hopkins won't come to Europe either (long story, I'm sure someone will get it) RJJ won't retire because he just loves the sport. He might also have been knocked a little bit loopey and has some delusions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Witton_Lane Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Mosley, Jones.... You really love those drugs cheats, don't you? Jones only ever tested positive once to my knowledge, and so did his opponent, think it was for ripped fuel or something, hardly makes him a drugs cheat. I'm actually of the opinion that 90% of boxers are drugs cheats anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabby15 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Moments ago, BoxingScene.com spoke to Keith Kizer, executive director for the Nevada State Athletic Comission, at the Maritosyan-Ouma final presser in Las Vegas. Kizer confirmed Bernard Hopkins-Roy Jones Jr. 2 for April 17th in Vegas and also saidm as far as he knows, Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs TBA is still on for March 13th at the MGM Grand because Golden Boy is shooting for a June showdown between Mayweather and Shane Mosley [provided he beats Andre Berto] in Las Vegas. Going by the information from Kizer, we can see why Mayweather can't move his date to April since Jones and Hopkins have April in Vegas tied up.

TheWalletInspector Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Khan signs for Golden Boy... Malignaggi? I'd like to see it happen. I always thought Warren had Khan tied down to a long contract, clearly not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malignaggi isn't really that well know, well apart from in boxing circles, most know him as the person who's head Ricky Hatton caved in and had to have a hair cut mid fight!

The_Rev Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 That doesnt alter the fact that Amir Khan holds the WBA world title though does it? It would be a great fight. One where both fighters have a lot to gain from it, Paulie gets a shot at one of the world titles that is actually quite prestigious and Amir gets a name which puts him on the map in the USA. I think its a very interesting fight too. I think Paulie is perfect for Khan though, I think Khan is quick enough to negate the speed of Paulie and he has more than enough power to hurt him. Paulie on the other hand has something of an iron chin and he wont be an easy target for Khan to hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Khan would win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like he says, Khan is currently a nobody whereas Paulie isn't. Surely Paulie should be making the demands. The only way Paulie is better known than Khan is by being known for his mouth. Khan may not be a big name outside the UK, but Paulie isn't some huge draw, and certainly isn't in a position to make demands of a world title holder.
