There's no useful line to be drawn between talent and ability/quality. Im gonna keep repeating this until you all get annoyed, sorry.:lol:
Name a single sport played in large numbers by blacks which isn't dominated by blacks. There are more blacks than white in the England team ffs...
I haven't looked at the evidence around that. That also has much more far reaching and troublesome implications and basically isn't an area of...
I see.
Nobody's talking about native Africans.:dunno: And I wasn't away Coetzee ever won a title. And Valuev slipped my mind since he's less caucassion...
Of course you're right that these things interact with social factors. Massively. Hell, it could be that living in ghetto's is what increases...
Since blacks actually started getting regular title shots in the 40s, there have been about 30 heavyweight champions of Black American or...
It's an interesting historical anomaly/bit of trivia. And worth noting for that reason if nothing else.
Black North Americans & Caribeans are more athletic as a whole, lets not skirt round the demonstrable. More fast twitch fibres, lower fat body,...
Yes but he can't sustain a fast pace or deal with a consistent, high pressure attack. Which happens to be what Calzaghe brought.
I don't hate Calzaghe per se. I just just hate his career path and how out hustling a 42 year old by being fitter and dancing with the corpse of...
I seriously defy anyone to draw the useful conceptual line between 'talent' and 'ability' which justifies this thread.
He's about 60% as good as people think he was. He basically out hustled an old man with fitness and that was his best career win. His career path...
He really seems to have. He's been on a stinky roll of try-hard long shot picks for about 2 months.
Calzaghe sucked.
Insane.
Hopkins in the late 90s, early 00s was a much, much better fighter than Joe Calzaghe. Resumes are how you prove talent anyway, you can't separate...
'Lose'. Aged 40. Calzaghe has the worst resume of any 'ATG'. Ever. A contentious win over a 42 year old is his best win by far. Prime Hopkins...
If anyone cares I think the best way to do these is to just include guys who won their first world title in the time period given. I'd bend the...
Having Calzaghe & Hamed above Arguello & Hopkins is deranged.
Dwyer's lost the plot recently. Solis is a fat orca now.
What factors contributing to success aren't talents? :dunno:
In most people's mind - pretty much.
By far. But that's saying FUCK. ALL. It would be a very interesting fight if Solis was 220lb.
I can't distinguish talent from quality. :dunno:
Solis' flabby, slow footed ass is gonna get beat up.
I actually made an embarrassing arse piece of that, from skim reading. Apologies. It's 10-1 on Shane by KO, 15-1 is Shane by decision. The best...
Honestly dunno, man. The excessive cro-magnom eye brow growth certainly roused my suspicions but Im bored of the topic.
I wouldn't rule out the head KO - Manny is hittable and Shane bangs. I don't think it'll happen, but 15-1 odds allow a great straddle at minimum...
I'm getting odds of 15-1 on Shane by KO. FIFTEEN TO ONE. I'll be taking this bet, covered with the straddle of Manny to win. EDIT, Im also...
