I scored both fights 9-3. If Cotto did better it's just because he is better/bigger/more talented....tactically i think Guerrero was smarter. He...
I think if Alvarez takes a leaf out of Guerrero's book and forces Floyd to lead and punches with him he'll have a chance of landing the odd big...
He was done before Barrera, during it and after. If we wanna pinpoint the moment it was over for him it was the second he started listening to...
Povetkin still seems to be quick on his feet and on the draw based on the Rahman win. Quite interested to see this
I think, as always, the digits changing on the fighter's record would have made fuck-all difference in and of itself. Brutal fights can take...
I'm beginning to get confused about what we're even arguing about. Lacy was shit. Trout is OK. Alvarez is a little better than OK. Calzaghe is a...
Well fine but that guy had had 4 previous title fights at the weight and had looked fine in all of them.
Calzaghe doesn't get downgraded in retrospect by Lacy's suckiness - he did everything he should have done to a sucky guy and more. Only the...
Depends what he meant by no one.
Oh come on. He beat him 10-2. Lacy couldn't beat Omar Sheika 10-2.
Well thanks for making me right :Thumbs::lol:
Yeah, so Lacy was a hype job, we all agree.
:lol: Sometimes late at night, I feel like a big animal in a small cage
Well there you go, you just did it. It's been 'appropriately reassessed'. And yes, obviously Calzaghe was a world class fighter and a well above...
:lol: I spend a slightly worrying amount of time watching Manson interviews actually. I find him fascinating.
I'm not evaluating Calzaghe here. I'm saying the Lacy win has been reevaluated in retrospect because it's clear Lacy was a hype job. The Kessler...
committing to an opinion i could be held to seemed the best answer
I just reassessing that particular win. Some wins grow with time (Sanchez over Nelson), some go the other way.
My opinion on Canelo going in? I think he's a good fighter, have all along. I think he'll be too slow for Floyd but I'll be proper surprised if...
Sure, but only in the way any sacrificial lamb in a PPv show gets hyped up. Calzaghe-Lacy was hyped up as a big deal between two champs and so...
Floyd's win over Corrales has been appropriately reevaluated over the years. Ditto Gatti. Corrales and Gatti of course both being much more...
What opponents turned out to be useless hype jobs like Lacy?
:lol:
What previous Mayweather opponents were talked up after the fact? :dunno:
Alvarez' already proved himself better than Lacy by beating Trout - 'legacy wise' the rest will depend on what Alvarez does after Floyd fights...
Joe Calzaghe vs a Great White Shark

Fine. That's my take too. What's the point in the snide quotation marks though? Canelo doesn't have counter punching skills? :dunno::scratcher:
I'm really looking forward to this fight. WAR FENIAN-spinc!
