I'll also add this. Ward gets a lot of benefit of the doubt for 'taking his foot off the gas' after seven and coasting to the win. He must have...
The fight is a good example of the pros and cons of the 10-point must scoring system. Scored against that criteria, it was a clear 8-4 or 7-5...
Correct. Ward absolutely beat the shit out of Froch for seven rounds. Everyone remembers that. It was very impressive: probably Ward's best...
'Clinic' my hole. Championship fights last 12 rounds, not 7. MTF
Groves has elite level attributes. His right hand is hurtful and he is much quicker than he looks. I think he's proven much more than Eubanks Jr...
I don't remember the cards from the second fight. I'm pretty confident he was ahead on the cards in the first, which wasn't a great stoppage. He...
Khan was in terrible trouble and Maidana couldn't land a telling blow to finish the job on the most hurtable fighter in modern boxing. MTF
Aye, but GGG had something like 350 ammy fights before he turned pro, and what, 38 pro fights? There is no realistic prospect of him being in his...
Of course he doesn't. Prime RJJ would have beaten Calzaghe comfortably. Calzaghe would have been without a speed advantage for the first time in...
The chance of a fighter being at his best at 35 are pretty slim. It is possible, but it is rare. MTF
Eubanks - Collins I Maidana - Khan MTF
The first round tells us very little, really. Calzaghe was himself 36 at the time of that fight. He'd wasted his prime fighting absolute bums. He...
I've only seen the first three, so I'll take your word for it. MTF
Not really - the entire plot of the first two revolves around a robot being sent back from a post-apocolyptic future to kill an important person...
Mad Max 2 for me. Some other good ones on the list. Do the Terminator films count? MTF
This entire thread is glorious. Well done to all involved. MTF
If you rewatch the Prescott fight (I do, often), you can hear his mother scream in horror as Amir is turtled into the corner. MTF
He's a genuinely entertaining guy to watch. Part of that is because is is always literally one decent shot away from being highlight-reel KO-ed....
Fancy Groves to pull this one out. I'm not at all sold on Eubanks Jr and Groves has been in with much better men, and held his own for the most...
Nope. MTF
Absolutely spot on. I don't know anyone who didn't think it was hilarious when he lost. Listening to Barry on ITV describing him as 'the new Sugar...
Same. I was on a stag weekend in Amsterdam when the fight happened, and the first I heard was a text from one of my mates which simply read 'Khan...
Just you, buddy. MTF
Khan being a muslim didn't help, but his relative unpopularity in the UK was more about the bullshit spouted about him than anything else. The...
He has elite level button-mashing speed, to be fair. He's very affletic, and has plenty of heart, too. And his body punching is good, when he...
It doesn't really matter. Most of those in attendance don't actually care who is fighting. All that matters is being there. MTF
Loads of mugs will be lapping this up. Loads of them. I can sit here all day and lament at the state of the whole thing but Hearn doesn't give a...
For anyone who hasn't seen this: [MEDIA] MTF
Riddick holding a press conference to put a title belt in a bin was bizarre then and even more so now. Danny Williams fighting with one arm and...
That was the obvious one I thought of when reading this back and forth. Greece at the Euro's is another one. So is Denmark at Euro '92, and the...
