Shirtless boxers make Sly uncomfortable so they have to go. Same with boxer briefs.
Taylor had the talent to DO it. He just did it wrong.
How often do you see someone who's never been in a fight before displaying "ring intelligence"?
A high ring IQ is the direct result of experience, observation, trial and error. It's no more a "natural" talent than being able to do algebra.
I agree on him being dumb but the problem is you don't seem able to separate physical talent from what a boxer is actually capable of doing in the...
I don't think Taylor was weak mentally. He was just naturally aggressive and intense in the ring and he never developed the skills to translate...
Taylor didn't try to fight with much finesse because he didn't have the skills to back it up. For Taylor to look fluid and coordinated with his...
If Taylor "utilized footwork" he'd look more fluid. If his better footwork led to better balance he'd be a better combo puncher and if he had...
I was talking about Verdejo but you and Reed need to learn the difference between skills, athleticism and looking dynamic. You seem to think...
Probably the roids and blatant fouls
Loma isn't a puncher but hed bounce Corrales all over the ring like Floyd and Casamayor. The question is what happens when he gets hit clean and...
He doesn't fight like a puncher and he's not more athletic than Taylor. More skilled though.
Clear Morales round.
Tough call. Thinking of "prime" Floyd in his later days at 135 and at 140 I'd take him in a close but clear decision. But I don't know if I trust...
Other than being black I don't see anything too "athletic" about Hopkins, even when he was younger. He's a good choice because his reflexes didn't...
Prime Holyfield had good reflexes and awareness which is really what "talent" in boxing is. He saw things coming and pulled the trigger. Guys that...
It seems like you're giving him extra credit for fighting in a weak era with your assumptions. If you consider Floyds longevity, consistency and...
Sly, you had to make up so many caveats in the "undefeated" thread because Floyds greatness is mainly based on his longevity and his resume isn't...
Wrestling and boxing have a long tradition so I don't see why not. But no kicking!
Different countries have different economies so a player having his home and expenses covered and getting a tax free 50k a year might not be...
When Campos was still good he lost to Trinidad, Lopez, Vargas and maybe Carr. All those guys beat Hatton.
As far as promoting himself, Floyd did a good job of making himself a sports radio/barbershop topic and that's where most of his strength lies in...
Campos is too big for Hatton for to maul and he can hurt Ricky to the head or body. Hatton was really diminished when he didn't have a size and...
Are their a lot of punch drunk Cuban and Russian ams from having hundreds of dangerous headgear fights?
You're silly. Lol. "Dejusus lost a few times"
So what you're saying is Floyd is a mid-talent that IV doped a few extra years out of his career in a weak era? That's an overstatement.
That's not the original question. It was "who would beat Floyds opponents?"
It was a sharp, accurate, solid punch and its not hard to see it knocking out a chinny lanky guy like Breland. If Reid was good enough to control...
Actually I posted it a few weeks ago. Reid's chances look alot better after watching Canelo struggle with Khan. The right hand will land and...
Any live version of Whitaker schools Canelo.
Separate names with a comma.
