No, Who's on first.
He wasn't a featherweight champ, he was a jr light champ.
I-fucking-ronic that Atlas gets suspended for doing something admirable. Usually Atlas says about 35 things per telecast that i wish he'd get...
Agree completely.
Hopkins fell on his head and hurt his ankle against Robert Allen to get out of a fight he was having a lot of problems in. The punch that...
thanks for the spoiler warning. Posting the result in the thread title really was important.
Oh, let's say a guy whose jaw is broken--abraham--or a guy previously mentioned in this thread--Coggi--neither of whom was faking, imo. Perhaps...
I think the biggest answer is lack of gyms and opportunities. Pointing to the NBA and NFL is pretty fucking weak considering how few, if any,...
Never heard a boxer stretch the truth or lie about what happened during negotiations. That said, I wanted some proof and you gave it to me. Good...
It wasn't Dariusz who was obligated to fight Rocchi, it was Roy Jones and he never did...eventually costing Roy the WBC belt, the WBC millions,...
Can this be supported with proof?
I threw that in just to see if anyone reads my posts. :lol:
Seems more like a fight that should have been made in 97.
Guilty, but I've stuck up for dlh (hopkins), liston (ali 2), camacho jr (leija), and littles (liles 2) when allegations of faking it were brought up.
Much harder? Nope. The shot that Dariusz took looked worse and probably was. Not sure either guy was faking it, though. Pro boxers aren't much...
I thought Chambers looked good. He has very nice skills and he's only 25. He fought just like James Toney at heavy. Hopefully, he'll be better.
Tony Thompson has been the best american heavy for a while. And he's good. But I suppose he's not next, he's current.
How do you come up with that much?
Well, I'm just about over it. haha I was impressed with Povetkin's stamina and Chambers' accuracy tonight. I thought Chambers could have...
A Judah fight is nothing but a payday to Margarito and if he loses, it's a disaster. Cintron brings a belt which will be far more helpful down the...
Agree.
Some people have a hard time comparing a current guy to a past great. Not only did Hearns hit harder than Pavlik because he is an all-time great,...
I still rate Khan as the best, but can't argue with Gamboa. I sure wish the three newest Cuban defectors had gotten/stayed out. That would have...
And Andre Dirrell. Also, Yuriolkis Gamboa just about took a huge step up against Little Tyson and may get a title shot this year. Marcos Maidana...
I'd guess there are 10 more accomplished, but regardless Tarver was a superb amateur and was an amateur world champ (which is why he was...
Overhyped doesn't mean he wasn't that good; it means he wasn't as good as he was portrayed after that fight. Toney was never a top p4p talent,...
Fine, you're right, Tua has had so many impressive performances I got them mixed up. Which means he doesn't belong in this thread. I consider...
This is right before I became a big boxing fan so I can't comment. The Nunn I saw post-Toney never seemed to deserve the accolades he received,...
David Tua didn't get overhyped after the Ruiz fight, his breakthrough performance was the Ibeabuchi fight. If anything, Ruiz became way underhyped...
Mayorga had the significant Six Heads win, the surprising Forrest KO, and the just as surprising (and impressive) Forrest decision. He doesn't fit...
