Are we forgetting who BOTH these guys are?? I won't believe this fight is happening until it's at least the 3rd round... :lol:
Just like Hopkins and Winky did, right?
Exactly. Taylor was THE top middleweight in the world, and had twice beaten a highly regarded, long-reigning champion, who himself went on to...
What a wretched undercard.
And he's still with Birmingham. Maybe it's time for a change, on both counts.
LOL at that drunk British crowd that won't stop singing show tunes. :lol:
More than Tyson did against Lewis. Or against Holyfield. Or against Douglas. Or against Danny Williams. Or against Kevin McIrishBum But nice of...
I agree that Ike does get overrated by some people, but that doesn't mean he can't beat Tyson. The reason is that Tyson is (or WAS, anyway) even...
EXCEPT heart. Tyson is/was by far a much worse quitter than Tua ever was. Tua has shown a much better ability to still be in fights late,...
:lol: :lol:
Interesting...
I was thinking the same thing.
Exactly what I was thinking. This fight could end up testing how well Williams could handle pressure from a real knockout puncher, and as of yet...
Agreed. As devastating a loss as the Lewis one was, ONE bad loss to the top heavyweight in the world (and maybe one of the best heavyweights of...
Maybe. But I know that pre-Atlas, Grant was beating McCline/Guinn level fighters pretty fine.
I started a thread once entitled "Teddy Atlas is the most overrated trainer of all time", and I raised basically the same points you're raising...
LOL, I was thinking the same thing. :lol:
But is that because he really had no problem with punchers? Or is because he didn't actually FIGHT any real big punchers until Tito? IMO, it's...
McCall is/was a bum with a punch. I'd take Holyfield then AND now.
Actually, I think it lends more credence to my point. If a guy is damaged goods after his (arguably) very first fight against a true knockout...
I don't remember who exactly was the favorite then, but from what I remember, Double L is right in that the fight was not considered an "easy" one...
:tease: Jake.
Tell that to Mayorga. And Ike Quartey. And Oba Carr. And Vargas. Mosley, maybe I can see a case being made... But DLH can fucking punch, no...
I never said he was "huge", but he still can bang pretty well with both hands.
Agreed on Williams-Margarito. My bad. :lol:
Tarver is still alive? :dunno: Sure, what the hell, let's boycott him...
It's funny, even though Vargas will go down in history as a guy who fell short of greatness and lost most of his best fights, people seem to...
Hard to say. At the lower weights, Mayorga had quicker feet, and he wouldn't have had to contend with the "size" advantage of Vargas. Plus,...
I thought it was a FOTY candidate. For pure excitment and drama, I thought it could match just about any fight this year... it just wasn't as...
You made the right decision. What a fuckin' fight! :bears:
