You are like the opposite of Doubting Thomas. You are like the only Apostle that actually believes in this guy any more.:bow:
Pretty much. You watch now...he'll pump up the British team that was at the Olimpdicks....why? Cos he thinks they are brilliant? No. Because he...
Bunce is an odd one. He knows the game and its fighters inside out, but his story is a bit different. His main crime is to not just be a...
The Japanese don't strike me as being into it much, too much "honour" or something.
Agreed.
A proud tradition which I hope is maintained for some time yet. [IMG]
Thats why I said that Kellerman should have reflexively corrected Lampley. Just who do you think is a reliable voice of boxing in America?
WBO in the Ring meant "Non Champion". Hamed was referred to as the "former IBF champ" :dunno: Fuck off Mike :nono::shadow:
This the guy who beat his wife/partner into a cocked hat and was sent to jail? Hard to feel sorry for him.
And Floyd had no nemesis either.....unless you count his dad. A dysfunctional weight advantage.
Toney vs Jones was a non-event. James was losing to Drake Thadzi and Griffin about as often as he was beating Barkley and that Prince Charles lad....
Yes. What is of more debatable nature is why it has declined. I think its a related concept. The sport declines in America, so interest in boxing...
Here's the thing..when a moron like Bush is President, we can only assume that at least 50.1% of the electorate....are morons. Lampley is head...
Right. The main commentator at HBO thinking that Joe had risen to stop Eubank kind of suggests that no too much attention was paid to 168 during...
I don't accept that. In any event, considering the original post at the start, such a fight, had it been between two Americans, would have...
How could he have known about the brace of fights they had, and the results, and make a statement like that? In any event, I think its...
Cdogg should read this, its a classic example of what I am talking about. :dancingBaby: The Yanks won't show it twice. The Brits won't show...
No...its not an attack on individuals, its not even an attack per se.....it's more an abandonment than anything else. People don't take interest...
I see it as a statement made by a guy who had given up covering boxing, is how I see it. I see it as broadly representative of the feudal...
That was in what year? By roughly the time Hauser came to make his epically flippant pronouncement, Roy Jones was pushing cans around at 175,...
That was done out of expediency by me. Do give me some license.:blackcloud:
No, he just made a sweeping statement, the like of which no writer of his caliber should ever have made, and the like of which no writer of his...
Some of the Brazilian, Japanese and Central Asian dudes look very good, like they might have promise.
No, but John didn't rise from the dead in Ireland either. We didn't sit here and say "Dallas Schmallas, He's still alive".
Maybe.......but.........anybody who knew that Eubank had two wars with Carl Thompson, and that Calzaghe had beaten Eubank immediately before...
Eubank had the talent, Thompson had the size and the grit. Eubank always seemed to have some minor financial issues lurking in the background and...
Really? Who said that? I mentioned Frazier, who was KO'd by uppercuts during his career, thrown as they were by a guy who didn't have a better...
Yes, I should have known, the mere mention of how the fight between Thompson and Eubend was unknown in America would bring out the worst,...
Well, they fight like Willie Pastrano at least. :popcorn:
Great fights are great fights. How often is straweight discussed? Often enough for Ricardo Lopez to get a mention. If a noted writer can pause...
Separate names with a comma.
