Who is this?

The heavyweight division would be perceived to be a lot more talent laden if the Klitschko's weren't in it.

 

No, its true. Did Wlad even man up and fight Haye yet? Dwyer hasn't mentioned it,much, and Boxrec is for ASSHOLES. Damn. I really like boxing.

 

That's a distinct possibility, boxing in any case has become feudal, only in this modern era could people like Adam Booth and David Haye be still mouthing on about the Klitschkos, and be getting people to believe them. So long as boxing remains feudal, then the break up of any dominant streak will throw up matchups that everyone thinks their man can win. Competition has always been a very apt substitute for talent. Who was lording it over Gatti and Ward when they went to war three times? Where was Floyd when Gatti, Manfredy, Robinson and Patterson were engaging in great fights?

 

:giggle:

yes, remove the two best guys and everyone would applaud the dregs

you slay me with your horseshit

 

Yep, more BS.

It would be considered way more wide open but certainly not more "talent laden".

 

He does have a point- if you remove a dominant influence over any system, you get a great possibility to create a more febrile atmosphere, which, in a boxing scenario, could be interpreted for "talent". Motion creates emotion. With the cookie crumbled, and everyone reaching for their own bit of a chocolate chip, you would have the potential for some epic scraps. The removal of the Klitschko Sweepstakes would give rise to a promotional and managerial free for all.

Take Roy for example. Once he was gone {Tarver III} look at all the great fights that followed. Of course, none of them were as singularly talented as Roy, but did anyone give a damn?

 

Very fast count, that last one.

 

You see, when you remove the Klitschko's, cookies crumble. At that point, Eddie Chambers and Tony Thompson are fucking amazing!!1

 

People would be marvelling at the overwhelming, awe inspiring level of talent and skill in a Chambers Vs Thompson matchup if only the Klitschkos were taken out of the equation.

Jesus christ, what a fucktard.

 

It's like beer goggles!

This


would look like this

 

That's really quite incredible, my eyes have been opened.

What is it about the Klitschkos that generate this oppressive mask over the latent talent fest that is our heavyweight division?

To think Chris Arreola could look like a nice pair of hanging bosoms.

mikE is a clever guy, it makes me quite excited about the prospect of the Klitschkos retiring so we can see some real heavyweight talent. And titties.

 

I'm surprised you hadn't noticed this before. If no one was around to knock Solis out cold with a glancing blow in the first round, he'd be leading this talent boom - along with other obvious candidates like 'Fast' Eddie Chambers and Adamek. No one would have noticed Adamek's inability to KO Kevin McBride, because believe it or not, Kevin McBride is one of the finest boxers in history.

 

He didn't say that, did he?

When you take Roy out of the equation, you get Adamek vs Briggs, Calzaghe vs Hopkins, Pavlik vs Hopkins, Hopkins vs Tarver, Adamek vs Dawson, Dawson vs Johnson....in other words, you get good fights. You even get fights people in Canada will attend. On the basis that they are historic. And not an Erica Lucas in sight.

 

I attend as many fights as I can. :bears:

 

And it wasn't until the uber-talented Roy Jones was gone, replaced as he was by Bernard The Old and Pascal The Infirm that you got to shitness "History" in Canada. You see the point? A dominant force stifles competition. Most people played the ODLH sweeps when Oscar was the main man. Nobody wanted to lose and jeopardize that big $950,000 payday vs Oscar, so very little really got done. I'm not sure, apart from Floyd, that any of the 147lbrs who came around from 2001 onwards were any better than Oscar, but we were not deprived of some mega fights in what was regarded as a not un-talented division.

 

I'd have been way more excited if I got to see Roy Jones in Montreal.

 

But Roy was never going to leave the USA. And the impression was that Roy was such a dominant fighter, and everyone else was limited and pathetic by comparison, that Cheffski, Hall, Harmon, Frazier, Harding etc were all serfs, badly limited fighters, no talent.

Its hard to deny- 175 really did offer a lot more stimulation AFTER Roy was finished.

 

I guess. Although other than Tarver, I'm not sure you named a light heavyweight who was relevant when Roy was dominating.

 

Guys let's not get off topic here.

mikE :atu:

By the way, what kind of chode capitalizes the last letter like that? The way he says mY is as flaming as twitterbeefs.

 

You know it wouldn't surprise me at all if the kind of chode that starts a twitter beef sometimes capitalizes last letters.

@stevE "yO punk, you got beefs with mE punK bitch?".

Homosexuality, inferiority and depravity ooze out of every pore of this sort of person.

mikE probably has greased back hair, is mildly overweight, occasionally homosexual, and fantasizes about rogering his mother.

 

@mexicaN, check me out. :kidcool:

How badly do you want to punch mE in the face right now?

 

is there a wbC title on the line?

 

ObviouslY.

 

wbC? If there was a wbF title on the line I'd fucking punch steve_davE so hard in the face right now, after a bit more twitterbeefinG.

 

Take 40% and steve_davE will kick your ass.

 

Crazy difference between the brothers. Vitali has never been down, yet Wladimir has been dropped more than Rothlesbergers pants at a college party.

 

Yeah, that would be really bad, because then he'd have brown skin and you'd have to hate him for it. I'm sure masturbating to the Hugo Boss ads would never be the same for you again.
