You mean the orcs and such? I thought it looked like all the orcs were computer generated in The Hobbit, and it was also a downgrade from the...
I am a huge LOTR fan, grew up reading the books and I thought the movies were excellent representations of the books and was thoroughly...
This may not qualify as #1 but I remember seeing Terry Norris fight Dana Rosenblatt and it was a realyl sad sight. You could tell Norris just...
Donaire knocks out another smaller fighter.
That's interesting how things work out. I thought the whole scene minus the actual death scene was extraordinarily spooky and creepy. It would...
I was at this match. Great card. Mayweather, Daniel Santos, Kostya Tszyu, Pastrana vs. Carbajal and DLH-MAGO i've been big fans of floyd,...
He's funny. Cracks me up.
Completely agree. He deserved to win the most outstanding boxer award this year too, from what I saw.
Correct. Ring magazine has him rated in the top ten from 1978 thru 1986
Yeah but the guy was dominant for his entire run all the way to gold, more dominant scoring margins than Lomachenko, he looked legitimately good...
Which I think is a shame. It has these guys almost ignoring a proper jab as a legitimate weapon in their arsenal. I don't remember so many top...
Does anyone think that the drop in popularity for boxing in the USA and the drop in young kids (ahem, african american kids mostly) taking up the...
coming off the worst showing previously in 2008, then just getting worse in 2012. this is indicative of the weakening talent pool in the modern...
Oscar Bonavena should have been credited with at least 1, if not 2 legitimate knockdowns of Chuvalo, imo.
I like American Lightweight Jose Ramirez Light Heavyweights Osman Bravo of Nicaragua (great body puncher) and teh Ukranian Oleksander Gvozdyk...
Fuck me you're right. Good thing I didn't think about it too much (maybe since I was constantly glancing over at the emergency exit door every 2...
I think if you remove Lomachenko then the talent level, atmosphere, and excitement of fights has been greater in 2012 vs. 2008 so far.
This is the only criticism I don't agree with at all. I think this is only an issue if you try to make it one. Tom Hardy had his face covered...
It's not just boxers either - Ken Norton's son, the former professional NFL Linebacker for the 49ers wanted to compete one year and they wouldn't...
Yep - @ Middleweight Terrell Gausha (USA) technically stopped Andranik Hakobyan (Armenia) in the 3rd round with 0:00 left... ref stopped the...
fuckin hilarious
the crowd is much better in London than it was in Beijing. Loved that kid Gausha from the USA. I haven't seen a Brit yet, but haven't been...
I think Tyson would have beaten him... maybe not easily, but let's say in this magical world that Tyson was in shape and focused (aka Kevin Rooney...
Looking back the Olympic argument holds water with regards to American, Cuban and European boxers. Latin American boxers seem to thrive...
I think that the Olympians shouldn't be limited to medalists, do you agree? It makes it more difficult to track them all down, but for example in...
What do you think, mikE? 2008 the weakest Olympic crop in decades?
Depends how he is built.... I am 6'3 with a skinny build, I'm 225 but you wouldn't guess I was an ounce over 200 if not lighter (but in reality i...
i would sooner classify him as a 2000 or 2004 Olympian.
I was just making an observation, really. But the weaker Olympic crop of 2008 fits in with my belief that the talent pool in boxing has declined...
I think this is all underlining my point. It was a stretch to say DeGale made noise, yet he is the most outstanding professional boxer of the...
