Pretty harsh imo. Sure Judah was overrated at that time, but he still managed to build a very good career afterward.
From what I read, Mac Foster was highly thought of before being exposed as a can opener by Quary
Bute vs Froch. Some were hyping Bute as some kind of p4p talent. He was badly exposed by a guy who had very very few easy fights vs top notch...
World Boxing IIRC. It wasn't a mail bag though but a column by some dude named James Bagg. He was pretty funny
Mostly agreed with everything you said in this one Reed. The previous one however, I felt you gave Do los Santos way too much credit for...
Why is there a rematch?? Was the 1st fight ''competitive'' ??
Honestly, Shakur's been boring to me since the start of his career. A couple of rounds here and there is fine as he has some nice skills, more...
The Famoso fight wasn't really close from what I recall. But it was far from a dominating performance either.
What?? Floyd was basically the master at winning easy but not dominating, even against mediocre foes...
Didn't see the fight but was surprised to see how highly regarded Shakur is rated by some of you even though he hasn't fought any top level...
Damn, that's a lot more money than I expected for both Shakur and Haney. Kind of crazy to see them paid millions to fight unappealing opponents...
Agreed, I like Norris style but can't see at all how he'd manage to outjab Hearns, one if the best jabber in boxing history... His only chance imo...
Wilder fails the eye-test x 1000. It's quite obvious his boxing skills are abysmal, not to say non-existent. That him and that other big clown (...
Nah, apart from the supposedly ''untrustworthy'' eye test, we have a textbook example of why the division is garbage and a perfect valid theory to...
Another garbage fight for Stevenson. And he doesn't have the kind of ''wow factor'' that makes it interesting to watch him dominate overmatched...
This is actually better than Ngannou-Fury lol
I'm definitely interested in Benavidez-Andrade, though I'm a bit worried about ''Boo boo'' desire to win... Not gonna pay for it though
Yeah, the worst is when they assume that their favorite, who's usually a dominant champion/athlete, is in the clear (and I'm not talking about...
Holy shit, shocking how small he looks now, no bigger than Hopkins. BUt yeah, doesn't seem punchy at all, talks like a white collar professional,...
Lol, this is hilarious, why haven't you ever mentioned it before?? Surprised though that you wrote critically of Briggs as he's basically the...
You are basically attacking a strawman now with your Foreman example, as no one claims athletic abilities and size are not very important factors...
I hope these numbers are true... the less people who watched Fury disgrace boxing the better.
Btw UGTBK, I don't think your comparison with track and field or marathon running help your case much. 1) These ''sports'' (imo they are...
At least Valero had the ''excuse'' of impulse. Verdejo premeditated the killing. Much worse..
Btw, Ngannou would be carved up by Seldon imo unless he'd manage to catch him with a lucky punch. Seldon, for all if his mental issue and lack of...
1) ''Smaller'' sized hw and cw are big enough to be poached by other sports too, which also explain why cw (and lhw to a lesser extent) is also...
Nah, you're missing the point once again. The debate about the current hw division was whether they looked like garbage because they are skilless...
100% agreed. Patterson just fighting Rademacher, an Olympic gold medalist, is seen as a stain on his career, even though he handled him quite...
After last Saturday's ''performance'' it's hard to even argue he'd be more than a gatekeeper/fringe contender in a decent era, let alone beating...
Mostly agreed but I think there were significant risks in allowing Ngannou to fight in a boxing match against Fury. Unfortunately, boxing and MMA...
