Hearns was a great fighter, Duran was a great fighter. Frazier was a great fighter, Tua was a rotund plodding left hook on legs. As I said, when...
:laughing::laughing:
He should have made at least ONE of the Hopkins, Calzaghe or Darius fights happen, IMHO. They were right there, big, meaningful fights and he...
Haven't known as many Sikhs but they all seem really nice. Not quite as fun as Pakistani guys but good folk. Turks are a bit weirder. Cool people,...
I do seem to hate every Italian person I ever meet.:notallthere: Seriously, don't gel. Too expressive and not polite enough. Pakistani's on the...
REED, his competition was steady. It might be best to phrase it as, he hadn't taken a single P4P status affirming risk in 7 years. And I think it...
I think Shane was definitely a better fighter than Tito. He was overrated as hell at the time too, but Tito mania was the most insane mass...
*sigh* No because he'd fought a succession of fucking nobodies for the best part of 7 years. :dunno:
Huh? When did I ever say I was? Im not a huge fan, I don't enjoy his style, I didn't appreciate his reluctance to seek out challenges as a...
If Hopkins honestly has the balls to fight Haye next then I'll give him a total free pass on this upcoming farce of a fight.
The Foremanisms were just hilarious though, they were half the attraction of watching HBO broadcasts. And he's by far the most charismatic &...
In retrospect the correct answer was probably HOPKINS, who languished down at about 7 or 8 on most people's lists. At the time I thought Shane...
Steward and his ' I knew that was gonna happen' spiel is probably the most annoying out the lot of them. We never knew how good we had it with Big...
Prime for Prime, give me Liston by mid round stoppage. TKO 6. In 66, 67 when they might have fought, give me Frazier, TKO 9.
Definitely agree. But despite the occasional insight Roy's hardly much better. Too ready to talk himself up and too unintelligible. Leonard's the...
Late 2001? Really could go either way. Tyson early Rahman after 5 or so. Does Tyson have the will power to go 12? Urgh, no idea on this one, toss...
Roy sure looks OLD.
Nah man, the object of good boxing defence is to win boxing matches. If your defensive style doesn't allow you to mount an attack in the process...
I would judge the effectiveness of a fighter's defense by the ratio of shots he takes to the shots he lands. Otherwise running is good 'defense',...
Frazier would win this the same way he beat up the bigger, stronger Chuvalo early on in that fight. At mid range, engaging in and out on his terms...
No not bouncing on his toes and potshotting. Like Cdogg says, if that's your only conception of 'outboxing' then you have a very limited one. Just...
Frazier wouldn't go bombs away with him, he would outbox him. And contrary to popular opinion he WAS a better boxer than David Izon or Oleg...
Im growing increasingly convinced that 95% of folk on the internet haven't seen any Frazier fights beyond Thrilla in Manilla and the first Foreman...
:lol:
Frazier had more IMPARTIBLE technique, for sure. And if you took the motor patterns he had laid down and somehow downloaded them into another...
I think they need each other equally. And boxing needs them to dance more than either of them need each other.:crying:
Since I think Floyd is a MARGINALLY bigger draw than Pac, and I do mean marginally, I suspect he probably would have done about 750k.
Mr. REED Im gonna say this again - Pac & Floyd were both MADE as attractions by their Oscar nights. Marquez-Pac happened before, Marquez-Floyd,...
Good numbers, not amazing. Pretty much what you'd expect from a fight against an absolute non-attraction.
