Non Gold Medalists as Pros

He beat Lacy, Edei and my boy Eromosele in 2000.

 

beat jermain taylor and golovkin also

 

Horrendously boring topic.

 

No it is not, it s an interesting one actually.

 

Pacquiao............Mayweather............BAM, BAM, BAM!!!!!!!


Better?

 

Impossible. Bad decisions are killing the sport. They weren't around back then.

 

mikE mad yo.

 

Poor Stafford...still a douche.

Maybe we could talk about Floyd not fighting Pac for the 500th time instead. Or maybe you could show again us how little you know about Duran.

The problem here is this topic actually requires knowing fighters who are not either from right now or really famous ones that you nuthug....which leaves you out of the conversation.

As you were.

 

Jeff Fenech lost at Flyweight during the 1984 Olympics and then went to beat '84 Flyweight Olympic Gold Medalist Steve McCrory in a title fight, become a 3 division champ (would have been four if it wasn't for that controversial draw decision against Nelson) and ended up in the Boxing Hall of Fame.

 

This is good stuff, I don't know a lot about amateur boxing so this is interesting to me. Sure is a nice break from the Pac robbery talk.

Johansson is a good example. He was DQ'd for not fighting in the Olympic Heavy finals against Sanders and had his silver medal held up for many years because of it. He also carried that quitter rep for a quite a while...until he beat Patterson.

Poor Sanders died so young...he died after being injured in a boxing match and the feeling it was because of a pre-existing condition.

 

Good list. I would find a spot for Jeff Fenech in there.

 

No one finds your "points" interesting, either. We are nice enough to just directly call you a faggot instead of being coy with "really?"

 

Really, douchebag?

 

I'm waiting for mikE to pull some theory (based on some totally irrelevant stats and other stuff he scraped from BoxRec) out of his ass that "proves" something that is 1. stupid and 2. nobody gives a crap about.

 

I'm waiting for you to have a post that doesn't come across as a 5th grader trying (and failing) to look intelligent.

 

I second this.

Plus, you would HAVE to learn how to fight with a name like this. ::

 

Did you copy this from BoxRec??

And...I'm sorry this topic is beyond your knowledge base. It requires knowing something about the sport from more than 5 minutes ago.

 

Multiple-time Light-heavy champ Marvin Johnson was a Bronze Medalist in 1972 and Bantamweight champ KO artist Alfonso Zamora was a Silver Medalist the same year.

 

yeah, cockmind

 

Didn't Johnson lose out to Mate Parlov (who won the gold that year) whom he would eventually defeat in a brutal fight in the pros?

 

Well, Hill had all those defenses, but he froze against Hearns, lost to Maske (Was there ever a more boring fight?), and got zapped by Roy. He did win a cruiser title if I recall correctly, but it was against someone he had already beaten.

Carbajal had that first war against Chiquita, and though he lost the rematches, he had that come from behind win against Jorge Arce.

Carbajal wins by a nose. Fenech bumps Hill out of the top 5. Yes, Carbajal was the first $1M flyweight, which means nothing, but he had some really great fights against a slightly better calibre of opposition in my book: Scotty Olson, Melchor Cob Castro, Jorge Arce, Chiquita Gonzalez to name a few. PLUS, I never saw Hill show the kind of resilience in the face of extreme adversity that Carbajal showed in that first fight against Chiquita.

He was dropped twice, and the second time he was fucked up pretty bad. To come back like that DWARFS anything that Hill ever did.

 

Yep. He sure did. Good catch. I remembered they were both medalist but forgot they also fought as pros.

 

I don't disagree....even though I wasn't asking about Hill.

 

I know. Was there anybody else you'd drop out other than Hill to make room for Fenech?

 

Hope you have the patience of JOB.
