We'll get through this, Sly! Keep the faith! Boxing 4 life, baby!:partie::dancingBaby:
In fairness there were times when old Cooney's size and power seemed to trouble him rather allot. But then Rahman isn't even as sharp or...
He was beating Golota pretty comfortably. And for the rounds Foul Pole would deign to fight he was still pretty handy at that point. I think by...
Well you might have something to that, but it's not really like they're fighting more regularly in the tournament, it seems to be every 6 months...
:lol:
I can't personally think of any fighter ever less comfortable with their profession. He's very nearly as irksome as the fatties.
It does seem to be happening more and more though doesn't it? It feels like minor niggles that once upon a time would have been trained and fought...
Harisson probably hits just as hard. But he's a fucking hairstylist in a fighters body. He's terrified of being a boxing ring which makes him just...
It's pretty classless. But it would have been forgivable if he'd at least followed up on it. As is I find myself wishing Wlad had done like you say.
Im warming to Wlad....
Ditto. There's just no 'noble artistry' in crotch to crotch heaving, is there? Just gotta take what we can get right now.....I even found...
FWIW, I think Povetkin's style is best suited to beating Wlad (ie somebody who goes forward aggressively & with enough volume and variety to get...
Barret and Ruiz were slightly past peak. There's absolutely nothing to suggest they were 'woefully' past their best. Ruiz was coming off a very...
You're really on a roll with indefensibly silly statements this week, Irish. You alright?
No doubt. I'm not ragging on Povetkin, Haye and Adamek & I consider all three good fighters (Peter isn't). It'll just take something particular to...
In fairness I think his opposition has actually IMPROVED (Chagaev, Ibragimov & Chambers were all respectable contenders). The problem being that...
Irish, I love your face mate, but this is right up there with the craziest of the craziest things Ive ever heard in 11 years on boxing message...
I genuinely believe he wanted to. I don't think it was all a charade. Maybe he's seen something or experienced something in sparring since which...
Agree, 100%. I've got allot of admiration for Wlad's mentality towards his career, generally. The guy's a winner.
:lol: I don't know. Somebody who's freakish facial disfigurement wasn't worth describing, presumably. He said there were 3 I felt a duty to...
OK, yes, but the degree of the 'problem' or weakness to compensate for (neither of which I think you can even really call MABs punch resistance)...
While visiting my uncle Gerry the other day, I met an old family friend who is quite well off now due to successful art career. He lived in the...
Fair comparison in some ways. The comparison of chins is not one of those ways... (which you make indirectly by comparing the perceptions on...
Pursuit of happiness, babycakes.
You're so earnest, bumbeater! Makes me wonder how you'll handle this place when the fight analysis inevitably switches to talk of shitting on...
I'll kick off. I think the answer is no. Firstly, I believe Wlad would have been terrified at that point and clammed up. But beyond that there are...
What if, instead of fighting Golota and Byrd respectively, these two fought each other instead? Lets say it's an alternate universe and Wlad had...
I don't think he could have beaten a Foreman or a Prime Tyson in 100 tries. He would have had a fucking panic attack for one thing. But there are...
The problem is none of those loses exposed a glass jaw in Griffith, Duran or Napoles. That chank will never be ironed out & it's a fundamental...
