Every fight you add to the rap list the odds compound on themselves like an accumulator bet. I just don't think you can wrap your hands in plaster...
C'mon mate, this is ain't quite true. It's not a 1:1 correlation, but it's a meaningful one.
I don't think boxers will become a whole lot faster. People have a distorted view of athletic progress I think caused by sports where equipment...
Bar Cotto (which is the only one where an opponent suffered unusual facial injuries), you can't act like they're not. Neither of us can act like...
WE've been through this before. It's a pointless conversation.
The list goes on. Life would be better.
Conclusiveness. I can't stand all these inconclsuive fights. Imagine if Arguello-Pryor I and Hearns-Leonard I had been 12 rounders? They'd be...
Law of diminishing returns, applies here I think. Total boxing knowledge probably multiplied by 10 in the first half the 20th century and...
Cotto, Clottey, Cintron x2, Lewis, Martinez vs Crack cloud Whitaker, Oba Carr, Yori Campas, Hector Camacho, Mo Blocker It's close. Close...
No worse than he would've been without boxing. Doubt he's missing any meals & he spent his youth rich and getting laid. I'll spend todays sympathy...
Is this another nonsense bot?
Pretty certain Ali would have murdered him. If Tefeollio had a few years to develop into a pro, you're talking a different situation though. He...
No I'm ASKING you who he was protected from. Re: the risk thing, I remember it totally differently. For all the macho flak he was catching about...
I sit out of this one to protect my streak of never picking Tito in a MM, ever.
Frankly, Margarito has better wins than Tito at welterweight.
Who else do you think he could have fought up until that point? The risk/reward equation was way out of kilter for Rahman, Tyson, Holyfield, Kirk...
Pac fought Oscar very cautiously at the start of that fight until it dawned on him he could do as he pleased.
Pac's fast becoming a bit overrated as as a welterweight. We're beginning to forget how small he is and transfer the credit he deserves for...
Of the 9 rounds which Oscar actually deigned to try to win, Tito won 2, tops. He was flat-out outclassed.
You might notice that every single guy in that highlight video is standing, stationary right in front of him. Just sayin'.
Yeah, guys with that style aren't usually known for their longevity, are they. His rapid decline was pretty standard fare, really. I think he was...
I deleted that post. I get pissed off when people call world class fighters shit, I shouldn't be doing it myself. But I think Berto is really...
I'll be surprised too. I pretty much agree with your assessment, I expect the gap in physical talent to be too much. I do like McCloskey's style...
Well in fairness, I actually won't be shocked if Ortiz (who's been brought in to cash as a resume name) beats Berto. So it might be an interesting...
Yeah, that's part of what makes the first few rounds quite dangerous. An early stoppage isn't out of the question. But I do think the longer it...
Yup he's been protected through his whole career. What a ducker. Thanks for bringing me back to the real world. *sigh*
Yeah, but they had experience of a tough fight or two. ARRRGGGHH. I retire from defending Klitschko. How did I get here? Where am I? There...
I think McCloskey's a cutey, I'll be impressed if Khan blows him out. That said, it seems a horrible style match up for him. There's a fair chance...
He had an 'experience deficit', lets put it that way. Green is an American term, im in over my head arguing its exact semantic, but the basic...
Can we just ban this spam bot, please?
