I'd guess there are 10 more accomplished, but regardless Tarver was a superb amateur and was an amateur world champ (which is why he was...
Overhyped doesn't mean he wasn't that good; it means he wasn't as good as he was portrayed after that fight. Toney was never a top p4p talent,...
Fine, you're right, Tua has had so many impressive performances I got them mixed up. Which means he doesn't belong in this thread. I consider...
This is right before I became a big boxing fan so I can't comment. The Nunn I saw post-Toney never seemed to deserve the accolades he received,...
David Tua didn't get overhyped after the Ruiz fight, his breakthrough performance was the Ibeabuchi fight. If anything, Ruiz became way underhyped...
Mayorga had the significant Six Heads win, the surprising Forrest KO, and the just as surprising (and impressive) Forrest decision. He doesn't fit...
James Toney over Nunn.
Bunema is a scrub and hopefully never sees a title fight because of beating Karmazin. Hell, I'd much rather see Karmazin in with a champ as he is...
Agree. Not to say that Reid didn't find a different possible path, but Winky took his own.
I've never heard Sheridan do anything but get excited. I sure can't think of anytime where he was stupidly biased like Max can be.
Horrible post.
Troll my ass. I'll bet you both. I get Chagaev over Golota. $100/each. Back it up. Fact is, I'll take anyone with a pulse against Golota, although...
Chagaev would have more problems signing his name on the contract than he would with Golota. McCall deserves a title shot far more than Golota and...
I liked the Max comment about how Chavez looked like he was at his best against Whitaker and not the other way around. Whitaker was pretty far...
Roy won the first Tarver fight and didn't take a licking even if you thought he lost (like I did). A Glen Johnson-type beating is what I would...
Well, when you're 5'11 1/2" and a big jm and you weigh only 151 3/4 lbs and you're fighting a scrub and you get KO'd after fading... Explain...
Roy doesn't hit hard enough these days, isn't elusiveness, isn't busy enough, isn't strong enough. Roy probably isn't fast enough to land the...
I think Larry dismissed Klitschko as being robotic, etc., right up to the point he got an HBO contract.
Lampley was just being stupid. When McCline makes you look stupid, no one wants to see you in with Wlad.
Hard to claim he was underprepared when he weighed so little. He looked bad so I'd guess overtrained.
Good call. I came into this thread to bitch about the ref stopping it too early. However, you are correct, the ref was going to stop it while...
Normally I criticize thread starters for not clarifying what they are talking about. This is the ultra-rare case where I think the 3 different...
Nothing new about them.
Except the biggest, most dangerous, most significant win of his career is Kessler.
Bench press has about as much to do with boxing success as how well a guy dresses. So whoever benches the most should have spent more time doing...
Agree.
hmmm...I found this photo, but you are right, that's not like Kessler's and I must be thinking of someone else....
No, he was going to end up with it one way or the other.
Simon may have been great, imo. We'll never know for sure.
It also lost him a fight.
