second that...
Imagine my surprise at you saying this...:lol: Nah, that is a myth started by Tyson fans who can't stand the idea that Lewis blew away Ruddock...
Razor Ruddock was "ruined" prior to fighting Lennox Lewis.
You've always been more funny than insightful. Good to see that hasn't changed. :lol:
Tex Cobb - Earnie Shavers stands out to me. Because it wasn't like Tex was outboxing Earnie.
A related myth is that Sly saw that fight... :lol:
Yeah, ok...exactly who died and left you in charge of what folks should post. :lol: As you were....
I was thinking more of specifics than generalizations. I actually started another topic a few minutes ago about a generalization.
One of boxing's mantras is that a good chin beats a good punch. What are some examples of big hitters getting defused by great chins? What are...
What are the boxing myths that you just can't buy into? No matter how many people try to convince you of them.
My agenda is the truth. What is yours? There's no doubt that Douglas was far more aware than Tyson.
Douglas got up when he was supposed to based on the ref's count. And Douglas never looked like he was about to be stopped. He wasn't the one...
You're right...the ref should have stopped the fight when Douglas struggled to get to his feet and looked glazed as he (barely) stood in front of...
I think in Sanders' case he deserves a pass in this topic. He died during the first year of his professional career and I've read that there was...
I would say that Douglas "almost getting KOed" against Tyson is a bit of an exaggeration.
agREED. Cooney wasn't a great fighter, but he was a good one. He gave Holmes a pretty good fight. Some folks try to make it sound like Cooney was...
No. I am Howard Eastman and I STILL have never beaten anyone good.
Ruddock?? What did he ever do in his career that you want to shoe-horn him into this topic except get his ass kicked by Tyson and Lewis? Bowe was...
Which fighters were the biggest stars coming out of the amateurs but then accomplished the least as Pros? Was it Olympic Gold medalists like...
True, and to be honest, I wasn't even thinking of the ex-stars who scored title shots based on their name value. I was mostly thinking about...
True, but Chavez wasn't the first (or the last) former great champ to get a undeserved shot based on his great career.
LOK's hate for Lewis is legendary...second only to Esk.:lol:
It's not biased...it's rating figthers based on the facts only. It's too easy to say that "So-and-so would have beat so-and-so if the fight...
Yep. I wasn't thinking of it as a head-to-head only thing. But that should be part of the equation. And only the head-to-head that actually...
Holyfield/Tyson/Lewis/Bowe. How would you rate them... 1. Against each other in terms of careers? Which one would you rate first, second,...
Which Olympic year was your favorite for boxing? For me, it was 1976. I was a youngster at the time (13 years old), but it was the beginnings...
Unqualified fighters getting title shots have been happening pretty much as long as boxing has existed. Which fighters have been the least...
I think part of it is that the current boxing "stars" aren't quite as compelling as the ones who have recently retired )or should be). When I...
Half the Tito fans?? Dude...something like 96% of the Titoheads disappeared after the Hopkins fight. :lol:
