Fuck Calzaghe. The way his career was managed shouldn't be rewarded with a single MM win, ever. He should be remembered as a bum and waste of...
I'm sure everyone knows, but a regular ring is 20x20, max, often 18x18. Ray demanded a 24x24 ring for this one. Then sprinted round every inch of it.
The fight's completely mythologised. People want a simple, neat narrative so history becomes Ray stupidly DECIDING to fight Duran on the inside in...
Read it again.
Great, then Ray is the king of stink. All hail the king of stink. In the match that involved exchanged punches with both men trying to hurt the...
About what? I scored the fucking thing exactly the same as 2 of the judges, the 3rd had it closer than me. The 'match' (you cant call that a...
I retract my initial analysis of why Duran quit. I don't think he was badly undertrained or weight drained, he just wanted to fight and Ray...
Fucking idiocy.
Absurd revisionist bullshit. Round 1: even. Literally two head punches each, two body punches each. Just Leonard running and running and running...
Better fighter than a 43 y/o Hopkins? Debatable. It'd be a more impressive win though since Hopkins by that stage was a guy who couldn't handle...
It was an act of destruction, like a sculptor smashing up an otherwise perfectly good piece because he knew he could so better & didn't want...
Nah, I do see what Sly means, in fairness. Not only your knowledge of the sports history but also how considered and respectful your tone is...
Like you? :dunno: :lol:
Frankly, Martinez would be his most impressive win
In all seriousness, I'd probably pick Calzaghe to maul & slap out a close decision with his fitness & volume.
Calzaghe has a big nose and is a pure mad dick, mon. Heavy dick, so he is.
We've yet to see any evidence Mayorga is shot. So it's potentially a more competitive fight than most people think. Mayorga was near even on the...
Martinez SD.
You think right.

Sounds like you've got some set up there, jealous. I've got a cheap power rack in my room but it isn't bolted down or anything. Never had the...
See, Jake gets it! :bears:
Obviously, if the guys hurt by the knock down that has it's own implications, scoring wise, same as if he gets hurt on his feet. But the event of...
A KD is a point in my book. A point.
How do you do shrugs mate, do you have a rack?
I didn't think his balance looked right in the first Tarver fight, FWIW.
Really, really stupid. :pathetic:
I almost started looking forward to having been a fan through a romanticised era there.....until i started imagining all the bullshit from the...
That's the argument against it - that judges are too incompetent and corrupt not to abuse the power of a nuanced scoring system. IMO, where it...
I also think a KD should only be worth a point. I have so many important, important opinions on this matter!:Steve-Dave/MMA: If Douglas was...
