Dumbest shit you’ve heard casuals say.

Inspired by X’s classic thread years ago.

I just had somebody tell me that Jermain Taylor would knock Tommy Hearns. Now I know anything is possible in boxing but I struggle to think that the same guy that went the distance with Ouma and Cory Spinks KOs Hearns.

Anybody else got one?

 

Just go on ESB's general forum. You can spend all day finding examples.

 

Go to ESB and Boxingscene and you’ll find a lot.

This thread from Boxingscene still makes me SMFH. Still can’t get over the fact that casuals believe that fighters from SRR era are seen as “unskilled” and wouldn’t be able to handle the current era.

Will people ever STOP OVERRATING old primitive era boxers with little skill? - Boxing Forum

 

Most Recent Example was In the Comments Section of REED's Haney-Loma Recap Post...

Dude Basically DARED REED to Name a Single Round Where Loma Landed MORE than 6 Punches...Of Course, REED Went Directly to Round 11, NOT Because of How 1-Sided it Was But Because REED VIVIDLY Recalled Round 11 Punchstats on Display EARLY in Round 12, Revealing Loma OUTLANDED Dev 20-2!!!...Like, DUH!!!...

The CLOWN Tried to Save Face by Insinuating ESPN Doctored the Stats, but it Became Fairly OBVIOUS Dude Either DIDN'T Watch the Fight @ All or Simply Toooo CASUAL to Notice When Punchstats are on his Fucking TV Screen...

Once debated a Floydasexual on social who claimed that Cotto was better than Duran.

 

Cotto over Duran?? Lmao!!!

Cotto ain’t even the best fighter out of PR.

 

In high school, I said I was going to bet over on the next Pernell Whitaker fight because I said almost all Whitaker fights went the distance. My friend said “has he fought Tyson?”

 

Some dumbfuck at the park was talkin boxing saying mayweather jr is the greatest of all time. so he hears me laughing and asks who i consider the greatest.

i said Sugar Ray Robinson. and this guy tells me, "Floyd would destroy that guy, he lost to Robert Duran. "

 

Recently after the Tank v Ryan fight….

a co-worker told me Tank would beat Spence & Canelo. I shook my head and laugh…

 

I remember that one time some lunatic said he could he beat Trinidad...

 

Reminds me of another gem I recently heard from a casual on Facebook:

"Floyd would knockout Tommy Hearns."

 

Ohhhh! I got an even better one.

Just two weeks ago. Someone said Floyd is the only lightweight in history who could beat Tank.

 

Esk... oh boy this one was dumb. Surprising as he wasn t a total boobs usually

 

Or maybe he was saying he could go the distance with Trinidad. Or maybe he said both

 

No, he said he would knockout Trinidad.

 

i heard this one before…..if there ever was one fighter that Floyd has no chance with its Hearns…

 

Leonard and Hearns are both horrible match ups for Floyd. I don’t even see him beating Benitez.

 

In Fairness, Esk Said He'd Beat Felix Trinidad "In a 3 Round Fight"...

Pryor Also, to a LESSER Degree...

If Floyd Couldn't (Quickly) TIME Pryor's Rushes Or EARN His Respect w/Meaty Counters, Shit Could Get DICEY...Sometimes, the Perfect Antidote for a Style as POLISHED as Floyd's is a MANIC In-Ring Atmosphere/Persona, Which was Aaron Pryor's Specialty...

i do believe our very own Double L said something to the effect of Jose Luis Castillo knocking out tommy hearns

 

He also said Castillo would beat Whitaker and Pryor.

 

My mate once asked me if I thought Lenny McLean could beat Mike Tyson

 

I once was speaking about Wilder and Joshua in a french class in school and my girlfriend at the time chimed in and said "Joshua should fight Ronaldo"

 

Id pay to see it

 

I remember inviting one of my white friends over to my house to watch the Peter McNeely vs Tyson fight. And after Tyson knocked him out he got all sour and claimed "boxing" was fixed as if a bum like McNeely took a dive. I was like Bro Tyson doesn't need help from Peter fucking McNeely to kfto. Him being Irish influenced his thought process

 

Brazilian Ronaldo looks like he outweighs Joshua at this point. Might be a good fight.

 

Not a casual, but Dubblechin once said that Danny Garcia and Keith Thurman would beat a prime Donald Curry.

 

I just had someone tell me that the reason Mayweather would school Leonard is because of what Camacho did to him.

 

Dubblechin argued for pages and pages on here that henry akinwande was better than ricardo lopez cuz he'd beat him in an actual fight.

 

Lou Savarese was better than Alexis Arguello.
