But Brock Lesnar is the heavyweight UFC champion - the biggest and baddest of them all. Vitali will make more money in his next fight than Lesnar...
Also - UFC 100, Brock Lesnar made $400,000 in the Frank Mir rematch, with no win bonus. Mir made $45,000. Like i mentioned these guys make more...
JMM has to rate above Lopez, imo. JMM accomplished much more against much better opposition. If Lopez had fought a high calibre of opposition he...
I am sure someone will be on here disputing this but they list the amount that UFC fighters get paid for each card... i think the undisclosed...
It is pretty mich true tho - boxers that are on the same/similar/comparable level to their UFC/MMA counterpart make more money. I mean very...
No definitely - it's a good point that I hadn't really sat down and thought about. I was just thinking about all the non-title fights in other...
the truth is that boxing is becoming less relevant in the USA. that doesn't mean boxing is dying, but to people in this country it is... just...
They make less than boxers
The reason I brought Lennox into this discussion is because of your earlier statement: "Not only is Vitali's competition decent, it's probably...
fair enough
a bit of hyperbole - but it was a great heavyweight slugfest of a round. as a lennox fan (which both those commentators were too despite what...
not sure what was particularly funny... except for the Lion in the longrass comment hehe. good fight, heavyweight slugfest. certainly further...
Good list - and as others have mentioned, the shorter distance for title fights is another factor. But Hut-Hut, to echo the sentiments of...
this is silly - is anyone besides mikE (hehe sorry buddy) arguing that this isn't a weak crop of heavyweight contenders? vitali is fighting...
sad thing is he was most likely laughing without any idea or recollection why the asphyxiation explanation is one of the most perplexing i have...
beat me to it! but it was my understanding she stopped it because corrales was at risk of asphyxiation.....
also in terms of WTF injuries - how about Casamayor-Corrales 1? Have you ever seen a fight stopped on a cut on (through) the mouth like that? Or...
Holyfield vs. Rahman. What The Fuck!?!?!!
here's a stylistic one - Jorge Castro v John David Jackson... by all accounts was supposed to be a rather dull, tactical, counter-punching...
didn't know you guys still wasted time on that person. first time i have used my ignore function in 15 years of boxing message boards. most...
But rank Vitali's competition to Lennox Lewis' competition.
who cared?
this might not fit your criteria spot on, but the biggest WTF i can ever think of is Michael Nunn's one punch 1 round KO of Sumbu Kalambay
those guys (Abe, Carl, Kelly) were all active punchers with power. hopkins isn't anything of the sort. say what you will about taylor but he is...
I don't really like all this hate on Jermain Taylor. Hopkins only has himself to blame for losing to him twice... he fights an inactive style and...
i don't really understand your first comment. no matter how you slice it Shannon Briggs doesn't deserve a title shot at the heavyweight...
that's all this is: a stay-busy fight. briggs doesn't deserve a title shot but he has a name and a hairdo and a 265 pound body to offer up as a...
agree to disagree
hate to be the one to bring it up - but for Women's boxing it was tragic that Luicia Rijker vs. Christy Martin never got made in their (close to)...
it was sloppy but entertaining, some big punches were landed.... but, my father and I are English and huge fans of Lennox Lewis... it would have...
