I do think Curry gets alot of love on this board, and sometimes his talent and skill and "MM performannce potential" gets alot of leniency. I've...
Oh...and McCallum is one of my favorite fighters, EVER. But at 160, Hagler beats him in a VERY close one. Very close.
Hagler beat Leonard. I think it's the flip argument....people give too many early rounds to SRL because of his shoeshines and movement....
Agreed.
I don't think Hatton is "shot" (as in can't pull the trigger and having no reflexes)....but I do think he is diminished and I think the reason why...
Good tune-up/stay-active fight for Mosley.
Are you really, truly serious?
Absolutely. Hell, KID CHOCOLATE used it.
Bingo. SHoulder roll is legal. Showing your back (NOT your side, don't get those confused) to your opponent is not. Neither, frankly, is...
Hmmm...no. Plenty - in fact, a TON - of trainers, coaches and boxers came out of the woodwork to say they really saw nothing wrong with Papa...
MA, I agree with the spirit of your post...but those two situations in particular (Trinidad and Margarito) are simply not comparable, and I think...
He's not done. He just lost. And he didn't burn himself out. He's fought at that pace (or higher) throughout his career and he's young and...
Errr...Diaz's defens wasn't "as consistently good"....because he was fighting Marquez. JMM did adjust and use that uppercut more regularly, and...
Vargas 2? You've gotta be kidding me.
Yeah, bro, but fighters encounter this issue all the time...you imagine if fights got stopped every time a fighter is coming in too light or has...
:lol: I never made a pick on this one - hell, I barely made it in time to see the fight.... But I didn't think it was going to be as easy as...
No.
LOL, mike_dave. As for Tszyu...I always liked him, but he needs to stay retired. Really.
I had PBF winning rather handily.
:lol::crying: Agreed.
Posted this on 11-18... "Yeah, but as Tam says, size often has little to do with it...especially if a fighter is smaller, but quicker. DLH's...
:laughing:
I didn't think so. Legs? Yes...but his legs (and the bounce in them) have been gone for years. But in terms of his hands and reflexes, he...
That's the intent....obfuscation....:stir::lol:
No. My words were: "Sometimes fighters simply won't fall down. It doesn't make the beating they're taking - or how hopeless/impossible...
There aren't many who want a piece of Celestino... That said, assuming Izzy isn't damaged; I see him doing very well with Caballero...better...
Manny only got up to 142, so he can probably return to either 140 or 135 (though he looks so lean; not sure if 135 is a long-term option). That...
That wasn't my point.
Sometimes fighters simply won't fall down. It doesn't make the beating they're taking - or how hopeless/impossible turning the fight around is -...
You mean Holt is going to headbutt him again?
