A lot of things occurred. Firstly, Taylor fought in a way which meant that there was never likely to be a repeat of the first fight and his...
and English, of course... :rolleyes:
This is exactly how I would foresee the fight, though I also agree that his habit of blocking punches with his chin on the way in meant he may...
Of course I've seen the fight...:nono: By exposed I mean as a top-class fighter. As you say yourself, Kessler won 'very clearly'. Having a...
:clap: This forum is not very good at all at the minute- the same twenty people trolling through each other's threads all day. :shit:
...and the most modest, I'm told. :lol:
Mundine was pretty much exposed by Mikkel Kessler as well as (a very green version of him, admittedly) being KTFO by Sven Ottke some time back....
As you say, there are other possible explanations, but it's something I wondered before the fight and it would be interesting to see him fight at...
:nono: From where and what does Mikkel get such kudos, Tam? I mean, I rate the guy- he's the clear No1 at 168 now that Joe has moved up...
Aren't they all...? :lol:
It happens sometimes- Nigel Benn is the perfect example of a monster puncher at 160 who didn't carry anything like as much pop at 168.
So I recall. It must have been all that confidence after beating the WBF Super-Middleweight Champion of the World...
:lol: I already said that Prime v Prime, Jones has too much for Joe. But Joe is almost prime NOW- Roy's was a long time ago, possibly even...
Fixed brother LOK :lol:
Didn't Miranda also send him to hospital with a broken jaw? :doh:
Although I agree that a prime RJJ would beat a Prime Calzaghe, I do actually think that Joe would have given him a very tough night's work. The...
If the fight was at 160, I would predict (again) with absolute certainty that Pavlik will be KO-ing Taylor again. As it is, there is the relative...
That is the anomaly on his record- no doubt about that. And it looks all the more impressive when considering that Kessler hit that dude pretty...
I wouldn't object to this, as even THIS old, shot version of RJJ would kill either of these dudes (Prime RJJ would sodomize either of these and...
Don King ain't got shit on you Brother LOK :laughing: Anyway, I think that is the plan overall. Two fights to rebuild, then smash Witter (I...
As I thought- my memory is usually a reliable, drink riddled thingy-ma-jig... http://www.boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=7203&cat=boxer...
Seriously bro- we should start a 'Sven Ottke should die for the betterment of humanity' bandwagon or something... :clap:
I agree with all of this, save that Hatton is much better than Gatti. Hatton HAS beaten elite guys at 140- Tsyzu and Castillo are elite guys. He...
LOK my man, that's what Ottke called himself, if my memory is right. His nickname was 'Das Phantom'. :laughing:
:lol: No. The main gripe is that every time Reid tried to throw a punch Ottke, he was warned by the insane referee and stopped from doing so....
Fair enough, but... ...OC, did you think Reid lost legitimately to Ottke? C'mon man- you can't slate Cortez in PBF-Hatton and NOT fucking...
:laughing: :bears: Word, my rodent friend...
I'm not much of a fan of him at all, either, but I much prefer to spend my time in the build up to this fight concentrating on my blind and all...
I think Kelly is a leetle chinny- not only did Taylor have him on queer street (I know Pavlik was showboating, but Taylor still had him reeling...
I can't get the image of Julian Jackson-Gerald McClellan II out of my head for that very reason. Their first fight was a gruesome slugfest, in...
