x2 on every word.
Difficult one. The obvious first thought is that Golota would whup his ass for 7 or 8 rounds then freak out. But Bruno might be so gassed by that...
Maybe that's what most people will remember. But I think the people who paid attention will put a very big asterisk beside that win if Cotto is...
Because Manny is the one contriving this situation. Nobody is holding a gun to Cotto's head but this is the biggest fight out there for him by far...
Agree with every word. 143 is bullshit man. Either fight welterweights or don't.
Look man, if you're gonna be a pompous, condescending prick about things at least put your brain into gear before making nonsensical disanalogies....
This part I certainly agree with. I think I cracked the code on picking fights recently actually.:lol: A) is one guy clearly a perceived as being...
On the face of it it sounds great but some reservations spring to mind. Firstly, unlikely to happen. secondly, even if it did the league format +...
People see what they already believe. If Cotto was damaged goods he wouldn't have beaten Clottey.
You're confusing talent and skill again. Arguello had perfect balance and leverage on every shot. You can't SHOW somebody how to throw a punch...
Looked as good as ever vs Clottey, IMO. People treated the Clottey fight as if it was a tune up for him he should waltz through....nobody has an...
Exactly. Tito was being compared to Ray fucking Robinson going into the B-Hop fight. Most the posters here have been around long enough to...
I'd have to go with MMH in a close one. I think if these guys fought 10 times at any time period Hagler would have won the majority of them.
I think people are having a hard time putting what he's done in any context because it's so unusual. A) the aberrant weight hopping and B) the...
I know you're a strong dude LOK....but the strongest 181lb man who ever lived without any specialized training? You can understand my e-skepticism.
You might be right. I suppose I just have a hard time getting my head round a world class guy improving through his late 20's the way Pac appears...
Agree to disagREED.:lol: Again I don't think you're fully differentiating between fundamentals and physical gifts, although you'll doubtless say...
Wow high praise! Im not so sure he'd even be in the top 5 best fighters since Duran to be perfectly honest - Leonard, Hearns, Hagler, Whitaker,...
Oh yeah definitely, great, again, was an exaggeration. Your description is certainly more accurate. Fair enough, I suppose I just really like...
Left field suggestion, but I'd like to see Mosley-Witter or Mosley-Bradley. Both more interesting fights than any of the aforementioned, IMO.
Yeah, it's not the whole generation of course, just a creeping trend which that kind of talk is symptomatic of.
You gotta begrudgingly admire Ruiz as a character, to achieve what he has with zero talent. But as a fighter he's the fucking anti-christ, I could...
Disagreed, I think he has allot of skills. Just not the physical gifts to implement them at the highest level. At a certain point, if your speed,...
Not sure why you found it so strange - his attitude seems pretty typical of a large % of this generation of fighters, generally.:dunno: Only...
When it's ready you can come round and we can boom boom together in front of the full length mirror :mj:
Hmm...the comparison is slightly strained but I see what you're saying. Difference essentially is that Leonard's wins were vastly better at every...
I'm not no, though I'm so sick of people trying to convince me that I should be I'll probably sign up soon. Sounds good Buddy, post some pics...
Eastman beat Joppy too IMO.
I still miss Petre though, he was a great poster, place is poorer without him. :crying:
Wow I really can't let that slide - Manny is 'selective' now? Wildly, wildly unfair, dude.:lol: A) The Oscar fight was taken purely because it...
