But the point that 25 out of 39 fights ending in KO is not bad. I agree the De La Hoya fight wasn't great (although some fault of Oscar missing so much should be taken into the account as well) but you shouldn't write someone off on one fight.

After 35+ fights, Mayweather talks like he's going to kill people like Tyson, and then runs to avoid any and all contact. He did manage to KO Hatton, but vs. Oscar looked pretty ridiculous. When a fight is pretty much hyped as the Fight of the Century, and then Mayweather runs for the ENTIRE fight, it IS an embarrassment tot he sport. Its baffling to me that a) boxing didn't lose 75% of it's fans that night, and b) the media didn't rip that performance to shreds.

I think JMM is a terrific fighter but I don’t think he has enough speed to counter PBF and stay out of the way. I think PBF will land quick combinations and put JMM down a few times.

I mean, I agree that he is a journeyman and really has no business being in the ring with Fedor, but that means you don't book him against Fedor. Plain and simple. I feel bad for Buentello.

A guy who knows Buentello and has been very reliable source of information in the past: "And it would appear you just have an opinion. Try this.... You sign a fight for X amount of fights for X amount of $$$. You win the first fight on the 4 fight deal and then your opponent get hurt. You take a short notice fight for 20k less even though your contract calls for X amount of $$. You win that fight only to have that fight not count as one of your 4 fights that you signed a contract for...for X amount of $$. Now, you have a fight left on your contract that you honored and took less money to do so. You get a chance to fight a guy whose last oppononets got 800k and 1.5 mil to fight for a low six figure contract? Why not Overeem (lol, I'm not going to touch that one..yet) Werdum? (who is ranked higher than you even though he has lost to unranked fighters in more recent bouts) Cause they want to pay you pennys on the dollor on what those guys will get. Now, I know most Brock haters don't like Brock because he's been a fake wrestler. And we all know that the same haters would never take a job fake beating people up and stand their ground. They wouldn't quit their current job making 20k at the local car wash over the millions Brock made. MMA fans are above that. I pay the guy that mows my yard $50 a pop. Now, if you know anyone that will mow my yard for $5.00...let me know. Coker offers Paul (his words not mine) a six figure deal to fight Fedor yet when Paul turns him downs than says Paul is just a journyman and doesn't fit in his plans? Have Scott call Jan Norte or Bob Sapp. He payed them double what he payed Paul and we say what kind of a piece of shit that was. It ain't rocket science folks. Has nothing to do with anyone ducking anyone. Its not like Paul was asking to co promote the SOB or anything... " From GoldenBoy from The UG….

I made the same comment in a 2nd post but it got held up by the automatic moderator. Many other people have pointed out the same thing on various websites. Coker is stupid to be admitting that. Didn't exactly think his comment through. Shane is correct. I made the same comment in a 2nd post but it got held up by the automatic moderator.
