Floyd was rocked by some very hard shots. But he recovered as well as you could expect a fighter to, which I think renders the semantics of...
Truth is I can go through old issues of Ring magazine from the 70s and 80s and I probably know more of the fighters in the top tens than I do from...
Well leaving out Ray Leonard and Duran is criminal....but the sheer depth of talent & activity rates makes it inevitable that the greater glut of...
No, Floyd doesn't hit as hard as Cotto or Forrest. He's a sharp puncher though and sometimes accuracy and the ability to land shots your opponent...
So he does! News to me....:doh::lol: In fairness it was 7 years before Clottey became any kind of factor at world level.
C'mon man, Margirito is a better fighter than Baldomir and it's not even open to discussion. Now way Baldomir beats Cotto, Clottey & Cintron. His...
I don't see Holyfield succumbing without his pound of flesh like Norton & Frazier did, though. I think those short left hooks make for at least...
Foreman is a totally different animal to Bowe, though. It isn't Foreman's slick boxing ability or aesthetic combinations thats gonna do it, it's...
Interesting one. I have trouble envisioning this....If I had to plump I'd probably agree with you - Foreman KO 5 or 6.
No, he's a pure bred counter puncher, that's where his talent lies. But he has the mentality and impatience of a slugger. In terms of an abject...
I don't think unpredictability has much to do with it. I just agree with Freddie Roach - Mosley sucks against guys who force him to lead, yet he's...
Look, the spirit of a compromise is to make an offer that the other person can and ,you feel will, accept without losing face. It's to meet in the...
Floyd: be Floyd. Shane: develop some patience and resist the urge to chase Floyd and force the action. Draw Floyd to lead as much as possible....
:laughing::laughing:
I didn't like the look of Marquez at 135 at all. Id lean towards Mancini
What was his last gimmick, a pirate? This is really, really fucking sad. And frankly 'Terminator' the single WORST, most INAPPROPRIATE nickname...
:bangh:
I'll say it for the gazillionth time - Marquez has no business at 140, especially against a huge Junior welter. He looked like shit at...
Agree. Certainly Arum doesn't want that.
If so, Arum is clearly looking after his OWN interests before the interests of Pac. 2 Stupid ass fights in a row just because Arum gets to pocket...
Exactly. Haye may or not be training correctly (though he is). But you KNOW a guy with 25lb of excess fat isn't training or eating properly. You...
There's been allot of footage of his training in these sky/setanta build up shows. It was also covered in the boxing training mag 'fitness' that I...
Absolutely. It's so maddening that fighters don't realize or don't care that the 5 guys of the last 25 years who'll probably be looked back upon...
TBH I think thats a shame and also very childish. He was banned for a couple days for repeated racial insults. And the guy who fucked him about...
:bears: Thanks for the great reply Ramonza. I certainly think there's some 'weight' to all three of your points. I especially agree with point...
:lol: Even a dead clock is right twice a day! Only joking man, I agree with quite allot of what you say you're a very sensible individual, we just...
Well UGTBK is right that sports scientists and trainers really don't see any value in long distance running for boxing these days. So you have...
Well yeah, this is true. But it's interesting that only the bigger guys are smaller than you'd expect so I think there was more going on than...
:bears: So is REED still in a huff and not posting? C'mon REED, FB is your boxing posting home, dude.
Yeah....good luck with that. :lol: Sounds like we've both spent the last hour pretty futilely.
