Apparently most everyone who watches boxing nowadays sees holding & clinching as something they can accept, which is too bad. I see that we are...
Close, but not quite! The reason a communist society doesn't work in reality is because the MAJORITY of people are corrupt or eminently...
To me, this is just common sense. Anyone who dismisses this is either a Marge fan or simply being dishonest to themselves. This is how human...
I don't know about Trinidad, whether or not the wraps mad much difference. Clearly the guy had natural power, wraps or not. But I totally agree...
Yeah, see, no. Out-of-this-world? You mean because Margarito is so fantastic that beating him up is somehow a stellar accomplishment? Margarito...
Ahh the inconsistency of the patrons of this board.... Berto/Collazo was another in a long list of fights where the anecdotal evidence has one...
Every now and then a fight comes along that shocks the "common knowledge", like PAC-DLH. To me, this is NOT one of those fights. In the light of...
I think there is no way you can honestly look at Manny's career and not look back and kind of raise your eyebrows at the first Morales fight....
Wow, I am truly shocked by some of the posts in this thread. I can't believe that a dislike (or yes, even a hatred) for fighters doesn't make...
You know, in light of these "woulda" "coulda" threads, I can't help but feel like Calzaghe must sit up nights with a gnawing feeling in his gut....
Hopkins' prime is now. The Tarver fight, Calzaghe, Pavlik. His technical and mental prowess are what makes him great now, not his athletic...
Angulo, of the 3 featured fighters on the card tonight, has the best chance of being successful for a long time at an elite level. I felt that...
See, I don't get why Arum, Cotto, or anyone else involved with Miguel Cotto has to make these kinds of statements. You can bark all you want...
Although I think there may be better fights for JMM at this point than Hatton, I would rather see him fight Hatton than Pacquaio again. IMO JMM...
I agree w/most everyone here in that Katsidis lost the fight clearly, although I don't think it's worth the time arguing with anyone who had it...
Although I can't agree that mismanagement was really the problem with Zab's career, I definitely agree with the spirit of this thread. When Zab...
As usual, a sizeable group of boxing fans are applying the "what have you done for me lately" mentality to judging the entire career of a boxer....
I think Cotto made several mistakes, including making no investment in the body whatsoever, and also not sitting down on his punches at any point...
I don't think Lacy is ruined in the "Tito ruined Vargas" sense of the word. Jeff's problems come from glaring fundamental flaws in his style,...
Yes it's sarcasm! Not trying to be mean. My wife is Puerto-Rican and I am fluent in Spanish - and whenever she is with me watching a Ray Torres...
Yes, I think your email did the trick. 10 years of god-awful interpretations where Torres made up fully HALF of what was "said" probably had...
This thread just kills me. So most people, despite what they may have wanted the result to be, had Marquez winning. The scorecards with Manny...
He he.. yeah, my favorite was whenever news would come from "Caguas", PR he would translate it as "Pooping Waters".
My case for a draw This fight should have been ruled a draw. The score should have been even, and from a boxing-as-a-whole standpoint neither...
Wow, I am truly stunned. Did anyone here watch Pavlik-Taylor or Trinidad-Jones? One of the few high-level middleweights Trinidad has a great...
Does anyone remember who the guy was who was obsessed with EDF and kept saying he was actually doubling as the poste "Hatchet Jack" because his...
Yeah I remember the boxingpress days, then it turned to SecondsOut and that board is what really got me into the boxing forums in the first place....
I think Marquez would actually be served by trying to hurt Vasquez as much as possible as early as possible. In a war of attrition, Marquez...
Sorry but this should be saved for posterity, it had me laughing for fully 5 minutes. [IMG]
Anyone watching this? I swear heavyweight boxing has become one of the most boring sports spectacles on the planet. Grapple/rest/grapple/rabbit...
