and the big flashing red light is important to note considering you could be saved by the bell in the final round back then. there was literally...
This is my favourite time of year. Arsenal always #1 in the rankings. Alphabetical order, and all. I am still in for this contest.
at that point in the fight - the only possible way on the planet that Taylor couldn't win the fight is if the referee stopped it. also taking...
The expert trainers that taught me this were Dickie Wood (that's his real name, trained some lower level heavyweights and pops up now and again)...
taught that way
i have always boxed with most of my weight on my back foot. interesting. imo you should almost always been on the ball of your back foot, ready...
ahhhhh i gotcha. this question is deep
parrying?
shoulder rolls
could be. look at frank mccourt
LOL. Yup.
Honestly if Floyd looks good and wins, he is top 4 in the world again, and no higher than #2. It's an excellent win. I would rank him #2...
the most interesting part of this question is if JMM were to beat Pac at 147, would it be a more significant and impressive win than Pac's TWO...
i am sure there would be some excuse for Pacquiao where there wouldn't have been any for Floyd.
these top 50 lists always make you question a division... does any division have 50 real good fighters to rank? It's always bad looking and...
naw i definitely misread your initial posts - i thought you meant they were heavies who should be ranked as greater than Wlad. I certainly do...
Buster Douglas has to be in there too, right?
head to head is ludicrous and impossible to discuss when it comes to ranking boxers in a historical sense. it should be thrown out the window....
who do you rate ahead of him? Louis, Ali, Holmes and Marciano?
I think this is a good point. IMO you have to rate Marciano ahead of Lennox. You can question both of the era's in which they competed, but...
Well said. I think both the Klitschko's are solidified in teh top 20 aka the second tier of great heavyweights, and they are still climbing....
imo he is solidified in the top ten. Louis, Ali, Holmes, Johnson, Marciano, Foreman, Lennox. In that order on my list. then...
Can you forgive me? :popcorn:
On a note of reality, I do know that George Foreman openly came out pre-match and said he would come out of retirement and fight Klitshcko if...
I personally think the tactical aspect was a much bigger part of it. When did Lennox ever follow a bigger man around the ring? When did he ever...
regarding point 1 - I do believe that the short notice affected Lennox moreso than Vitali. Altho the calibre of opponent increased for both men,...
this is all rather moot. it was a legitimate win and if you say otherwise you are wrong. more to the point - was the performance conclusive...
Been a fan ever since I saw Floyd in person vs. Gary Cooper in his 2nd pro fight. When Floyd works off his jab to the body he is the best thing I...
This. And Feebs, I completely agree that Lennox damaged Vitali with his fists beyond repair for that night and there is no way around who won...
but he was arguably losing at the time and officially he was either down 4-2 or tied 3-3 in a brutal fight and if not for a right hand that...
