Some folks get all excited about that win for Ruddock, but Dokes was well on the other side of his prime at this point.
Nice try, but your preferences and agendas are well known.
Please stop. Dokes was a better fighter than Byrd. But...wait...Byrd lost to Wlad...now I get where you are going.
Good, then stop commenting because you surely are not making any sense. As usual, your lack of context is staggering.
It really isn't. But that won't stop the Klitschko faithful from doing so.
Ugh. Double talk doesn't make Sanders any better.
Nope. At the time of the Dokes fight, Holyfield was undefeated and hadn't come close to losing a fight since the first Qawi fight - in Holyfield's...
Nah. Dokes was better than both of these guys. Even an older, post-drug issues Dokes gave Holyfield all he wanted.
Yeah. I was thinking mostly of who they have beaten in title fights.
"the 1980's before Tyson were a period of splintered titles and shit fighters" Not exactly true. The perception then was that there was a group...
...and claiming Sammy Serrano was an underrated & great fighter. :lol:
Yep. Plus Coetzee was not a supporter of Apartheid. I wouldn't go as far as to claim Holmes was afraid of Coetzee, but he didn't seem to really...
Please stop. Coetzee was a legit top 10 heavy of that time. And he was in any heavy top 10 list that mattered. You "forgot" to mention he also...
But yet you did...and, unfortunately, you didn't bother to get your facts straight before doing so.
Yep. No amount of Irish revisionism can undo the significance of that fight. He is like a pitbull when he decides to sink his teeth into...
Nope. You tried to make it sound like those losses were relevant to the Jones - Toney fight and they were not. You seem to like pulling stuff out...
Well reasoned response, as usual. :lol:
Nope. You said. "James was losing to Drake Thadzi and Griffin about as often as he was beating Barkley and that Prince Charles lad." And he...
R.I.P. Dokes. He was a tremendously gifted fighter who never lived up to his potential...much like some others of that time. But despite that, he...
Not true. While it wasn't a true "Superfight", Jones & Toney were both undefeated going into that fight and were considered two of the very best...
You exaggerated, as usual, in Vitali's favor. And you're making much more of of this punch and Vitali's reaction to it. And since you feel the...
"Coulda, woulda, shouda" is often substituted for facts around here. This is happens when a fan tries to defend a fighter with a very thin resume....
True, we forgot to factor in the Dog Jones and Bum Beribck fights.
Yep. But his heart was the size of a split pea.
While I do reject the notion that Tyson was "past prime" for this fight (and that Douglas was magically transformed into Ali for one night), I do...
Who did Stafford piss off now??
Well, to be fair to Broner, Floyd does set a pretty high standard in that regard. Plus he has the advantage of it being in his DNA. Floyd's...
I can't even imagine the old 1000 years past it Ali losing to Bruno. Hell...I'm not even sure Bruno could go a full 15 rounds without falling on...
Termite Watkins was a good fighter, but I don't know that I would call him a "boxing legend".
:lol:
