I think it's being really great that makes them great, personally.
Yeah I know.....at 45.....which in Hagler years is 1999. Which was the first year Floyd won... Nevermind :NotThink:
How about this - had Hagler kept going as long as Hopkins he might have fought for a world title the same night Floyd Mayweather won his first....
Because Hopkins started really late, Hagler retired at a non-old age chronologically and there's only 6 years between their championship eras...
:lol:
Norton makes in him cry in 9.
Don't think Im gonna forget that 'panties in a twist' jibe just like that, Slice.
They say in any sport, the best coaches are those guys without any talent who had to really study and work to become ok. The creme de la creme...
I think really excellent trainers probably drill the fundamentals obsessively. Footwork, balance, range, bringing the hands back high. All the...
Don't tell me what to do. :warning:
My objection to this fight is a suspended sentence. If it's just a run-through busy fight for Bradley in July, no problemo.
:lol: Sorry....
I don't see any real similarities between Machen & Terrel as they relate to how they'd deal with Ali, tbh. Terrel was a pretty high energy guy who...
Being really, really smart & being a really good communicator, most likely. Like the greatest trainer in history, Floyd Mayweather Sr.
It's a fairly superficial analysis but the fact that Young tended not to rely on his feet massively in his defence bodes well for Louis I think....
Impressions of Hately Pros. Extremely accurate long range puncher Very alert to openings at range Seemingly a very hard puncher, though not...
I'm D/Ling the torrent as we speak, will comment on the fight later.:bears: Sounds to me like Hatley was matched extremely aggressively which I...
It's a shame Ortiz is having to step up. He's already stocky and his strength advantage is a facet of his style, don't know how he'll handle 147....
I don't find it a very important point, tbh. In fact i won't even bore us all with the counter points since I'm sure we can all anticipate them...
Can anyone think of any MMs where they think a guy considered far inferior would greatly trouble a great fighter? Like my opinion on Machen-Ali,...
Yeah I think prime Ali definitely wins. I think Machen gives him problems though and if it's a pre or post prime Ali the potential for a...
Milderberger is pretty much the exact opposite of said characteristics.
Young & Jones were both smaller & slower and neither were particularly big punchers. But both were very skilled counter punchers & feinters who...
I personally like Machen's counter punching & patience to give Ali a really shitty night here. The big man was never comfortable leading the dance...
Bet it's Kessington Square beside the east end of Glasgow :lol:
Relative to the size of boxing itself, Hagler-Hearns wasn't that much bigger than Hopkins-Trinidad. Both were fights between top 10 p4pers and...
Let's make it a fightbeat tradition.:bears:
Me & Sly are still e-enemies forever though.
I think Hagler is greater. But I think the question is worthy of a thread and I'm not too disappointed that the final vote has turned out close,...
Right that's it, you've been grinding my seeds for too long sly. E-blood-fued forever!:flip:
