Pryor-Arguello I
Ive said for a while that I feel that developing competent boxing skills is the next evolution in MMA. The sport seems to go through stages of...
All true but it doesnt really relate to what we're talking about!:dunno:
Gross athleticism - general strength & power, speed, co-ordination, balance, hand eye co-ordination & reflex', spatial awareness Boxing specific...
Was Maradona not a talented footballer, Mex? Or did he just learn to be really skillful. He certainly wasn't exceptionally athletic. Garrincha?...
Re Klit & Haye - In the same way athletes in every sport become more athletic - by training like athletes & becoming way, way stronger & more...
I'd say the Klitschkos & David Haye have improved their athleticism through proper training more than you could ever improve the kind of things...
But again..... who's more 'talented' Monzon or Judah? And I don't bring it up to be obtuse or a prick.....it illustrates an important point,...
Sly, if you're seriously saying that you foresaw Pac, who looked undersized in the first Morales fight, going on to do what he's done, then you're...
I know what you mean, thats usually how I would use it too....and I actually do think handspeed is usually the most important talent in boxing,...
Isn't the ability to soak up a skill set to such a pronounced level & apply it a talent though? I mean Sanchez' footwork, angles, punch picking...
I think he just means that he wasn't particularly physically gifted. Which is a fair observation. But one look at the career of Zab Judah should...
Fair enough. I'll stand by Sanchez at featherweight. If Marquez and Morales can best Pac at or around that weight then I think a guy I consider...
Pac will pull out a win, but will struggle badly with Diaz' size and will probably find it hard to discourage Diaz from ploughing forward. Pac's...
Double dog doo.
And over a decade younger than the Hopkins Pavlik fought.
Dude, I've watched about 100 fucking rounds of the guys career which is what I accumulatively make my pick on. I have work, study & a work out to...
10-6.
It happens every single time. Invariably. As an example - the knock down in Vargas-Mayorga where Vargas was clearly winning the round then got...
Watched the first 3 rounds: he would have beaten Pacquiao!:lol: Dunno what the sweet fuck happened in the rest of the fight that it ended up a SD,...
Sounds like one of those quickly aborted experiments in new scoring systems that pops up every couple of years in one state or another. TBF, I do...
'Hagler could only fight one way'. Exceedingly silly statement.
Griffith....because he isn't Floyd! :lol: Nah, seriously I haven't seen enough of Griffith to make a sensible pick. Only seen the first...
I actually agree with this take on things. The complaint for me is that he has shown so little initiative or interest in seeking out the fights...
I don't think he's overrated at all. Gomez, Nelson, Lopez, La Porte, Castillo all beaten soundly. Certainly he was a better featherweight than...
If you're making this match up to make a point, it's a fairly stange one, sly. I agree with your pick all the way. Hagler 12-3/10-2.
:lol::cheer: Strangely enough, I actually agree with all of these picks.:bears: As you say Ike-Lyle is for all intents a coin toss though. I...
:lol::bears:
You're ignoring the fact that those were at Middleweight, and you usually see people pick the creme de la creme middleweights over Robinson. It...
