Exactly. It's like the toughness has been drained right out of boxing. Where are the tough guys who would just try to beat you til you couldn't...
Sounds like he's focused to me. That kind of swings my pick to Cotto, a little. I'm still waiting to hear how Judah's been doing in the gym.
Wlad continues to beat the piss out of Brewster and without the fluke situation that caused him to lose the first time.
My bad, I'm mentioning that fight because seeing as how I don't buy PPV's, my undercard will include that fight for the HBO replay.
Well you might be right about the Hops-Wright fight, especially since Wright has been fighting so much less defensively lately. If he does it with...
Good point, you almost convinced me completely but I still believe it's a tossup. Of course if you turn out to be right by a landslide I'll feel...
Agree that Judah has a better shot live than on paper. Critics can diss him all they want but there is no denying that the guy is naturally...
After witnessing the Mayweather-ODLH and Taylor-Spinks borefests we have another big name fight with the potential to let us down big time....
It really doesn't matter anyway, for every fight you can name where a slight size advantage swung the fight in the favor of the lesser fighter I...
I agree. I admire guys who move up for a challege, but hate when they do it to the point that they're putting themselves at a disadvantage. I felt...
Can you give me an example of a historic fight where a slight size advantage swung the fight in the favor of the lesser fighter, because I'm...
Contrary to popular belief a great jab is not the deciding factor in beating Trinidad. Not getting hit by him is. Both Oscar and Hopkins used...
I know and that's just it, he just came off a loss hasn't ever done shit and here he is again fighting on a PPV undercard that will get televised....
I mean seriously, I just read he's supposed to be fighting Ouma on the Hopkins-Wright undercard. I mean, correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Smith...
That isn't what he used to claim on the HBO telecasts whenever it was brought up. He always said, something like "Ali did the ropeadope, and I was...
Exactly. Now ask yourself this: Why did Tito land almost zero punches against Wright yet Taylor landed dozens per rd? Is it because JT is such a...
Roy doesn't stop playing around. If his opponent let's him, he'll play it safe and play the whole fight. It'd be a decision victory for him.
Agree totally. None of them have the style to deal with his power which is quite simply off the charts. His technical skill is also underrated.
OMG! :eeeek: I can't believe you picked Shane. It's been a long time coming, but your hate seems to have subsided.
Oh, I'm not done, we have to break this down. Now the only people who beat Tito either had great footwork or great defense, Hopkins had both not...
OMG! I can't believe the incompetence here. You people actually think Taylor would have a chance against Tito? If Tito came out of retirement...
In about 4 yrs it'll be a rest of our lives dry spell.
Factor in non-worthy affairs like Floyd-DLH and JT-Spinks and the dry spell is even longer.
Yeah, but you should have heard RJJ crying like a bitch on the btalk interview. He was siteing Hanshaw's record saying shit like, "why should I...
I think so too and would also like to see Cal beat the shit out of that poser JT. The only problem is Cal will have everyone convinced that he...
Here's what I find funny. In the fights where I thought Spinks actually won and was much more effective (Mayorga, Karmazin) he received alot of...
Well that too. But anyone who tries to argue that Karmazin won (which many have done) need only look at the fact that he didn't throw shit for 7...
It only appeared that way. Unlike Taylor, Mayorga was actually pressing Spinks, coming forward and throwing haymakers. Spinks would slip, counter,...
Very good post, and a good point. The answer is no, you can't change the rules because somebody has no balls and takes advantage of them, well...
Yeah, but if you had heard Roy talking his way out of that fight you'd have thought Hanshaw was superman or something. In fact giving the outright...
