Blaming the networks for that sort of thing is more than understandable, but Im not a fan of people going after announcers, such as Lampley, on...
It will be a monumental failure. The concept isnt cut out for a contemporary audience.
Dont you get tired of projecting that fantasy onto me? Tell us all how many losses De La Hoya would have against Johnson's calibre of foe, Neil.
I certainly don't misquote you. It was your error in the thread in question --- which you've since publicly admitted to --- which lead me to...
Hardly fought anyone during it, either.
Its tough to maintain your credibility in discussing a guy who you refer to as, "the dildo recipient," but I guess in Neils case, he needs...
Do I? Tell me who I picked to win this clash between Jones and one of the ten best LHWs to ever draw breath, REED. It IS transparent. You just...
He wouldnt be the same guy after a 140lb De La hoya put gloves on him, either.
Ruiz over Folley!? Oh, give me a break. There isnt a thing in the world Ruiz could ever do to threaten Folley.
Neil loves to argue the (false) point that De La Hoya lost every big fight he was in, but something tells me he wont be using that line in a...
You are in dreamland :lol:
Exactly. No offense intended to REED, but hir argument here is transparent and weak.
^^^Yep.
Watch it happen. The guy just picked Acelino Freitas to knock him out in a fight at 135. His hate borders on lunacy. It really does.
Neil will surely tell us Johnson has better career credentials than De La Hoya.
I always liked Freitas, which made the quitjob hard to watch. I think he couldve done in the green husk of a boxer De La Hoya was at 130, but at...
Would you really say so? Top-5 at WORST? Its a surprisingly steep division.
Possible (he definitely looked weakened to me), but likely? I dont see it that way. Its a pretty extreme first-up measure, as cheating goes, and...
Very, very strongly agree with you on the subject of Mosley's apparent exoneration at the hands of the Boxing public. Here's a guy who not only...
Does it follow, though, that you wouldnt load them for your world title shot, against a young, unbeaten rival, but then abruptly decide its a good...
I dont think it would ever have been a good fight. Neither exciting, nor competitive.
Without checking BoxRec, think hed have been in his mid-to-late-20s. The fight with Toney was in 1994, at which time, Jones wouldve been 26.
:lol:
Exactly. I also feel Jones peaked at SMW, but there is no real gap once you consider the weigh-ins.
I found it hard to believe it was ever a minority opinion, watching how vulnerable Tito was to someone with Winky's style. Yet it was,...
My guess, too. Wright would have bested Trinidad, and bested him comfortably, at any stage of their careers.
I could see the fight presented here going either way. I think I would favour Cotto. The De La Hoya who was at his 154lb. best, the one who...
"First-ballot," used to be a rare and prized priviledge (and to me, it shouldnt really exist in the first place, except in maybe the most extreme...
Vice-versa, too.
Never mind that probably half the sport's champions and top contenders were black in Johnson's day. I cant believe we're even discussing this....
