this thread presses all the right Benjamin Buttons.
:lol: Hatton and Wlad had one thing in common, apart from paleness, they both started their careers as raw, mistake prone fighters who drew...
Jesus. They BECAME boring. And Hatton didn't really finish well. He had one hurrah in around 4 years.
yes, he could carry the rounds on looks alone. Especially if that crazy female judge is still around. 12 rounds of staring at Speckled's ginger...
That, essentially, is what it boils down to. He's too good to be like this. He is also 37, just saying.
And Povetkin is a moron who was scared to take the incoming and let Wlad lean on him. If you pick the nuggets out of the pea soup of my posts,...
I'd like to see him in a "I weighed 140 on the scale last night and so did you" fight with Flidz.
He was unthreatening for reasons which had a lot to do with the incoming too. By all means.......be critical. I personally would prefer if he...
No, Jose Luis.
He looked remarkably calm. Like a guy who knew in advance he could get away with it.
No......Haye wouldn't let him lean on, so Haye flopped, so Wlad actually had a point off, and basically chased fuck out of him, and tried to make...
I like Rigondeaux. He has that same squashed face as Joe Louis, and the same, indolent, relaxed feel to him.
Nah he lost to Freddie Northwood and Christopher John and those guys and he lost to Barrera too except Marco hit him when he was down, and he lost...
When you look at a guy like Whittaker, all coked up and shot and small and undersized, no just going the distance, but maybe even beating Oscar...
They are, of course, and this was always the point, as early as 1997 I could see it....totally different fighters, totally different people. The...
Right so name all these fights where he would be getting DQ'd? Again, you are splicing here to suit yourself.
Show me the fights he would be getting DQ'd in, one after the other? :dunno: This may, again, :dunno: have escaped folks attentions...but I gave...
Hmmm.......................How much do Jones recent travails count against him? Ditto Holyfields, ditto Pac being KO'd by one shot from guy on...
You can do anything with names, stats, time periods. Paint just about any picture you like.
"Biggest in ring disgrace". :dunno: You can pick maybe three fights where the leaning was excessive.
:lol: You guys still throwing your belts out of the pram :lol: "We need universal rule enforcement" :lol: Where was your Batman of the Rules...
Canelo is shit. He's got as much talent now in his entire body as Cotto does in a square centimetre of his tattooed left deltoid.

AND STILLLL................:bears:
Povetkin never tried to fight inside. An awful lot of Povetkins "Inside" game was derived from merely not wanting to be on the outside getting...
If Povetkin had opened up in the 7th instead of holding he would have gotten laid out. That left hand could not miss. I think Wlad might have...
There was too much leaning, of course. I never denied it. Wlad should have annihilated him in the 8th. Wlad should maybe have ended it in the...
I already said I gave Wlad 5 out of 10. I disagree with Ugots position that the "leaning" changed the course of the fight. Povetkin was cleaned...
Povetkin was down as early as the 2nd round. Its obvious he had no answer to the left. So that was the fight right there. He held like fuck when...
:lol: Show me one fight where Ruiz threw 400 punches and dehumanized a guy as good as Povetkin? "Ruizki".....what a stupid thing to say. Did...
