Yeah Lou is lying when he says he told Taylor to dance and play it safe. In terms of strategy it was wrong, although I can see why he told him he...
ODLH: "Freddie Roach is a great trainer let me tell you. The reason I didn't listen to what he was telling me in my corner was because I couldn't...
LaMotta was actually known for being a pretty skilled fighter who could slip punches well. The movie made it look like LaMotta was a hard hitter...
Seriously though, Oscar's "masterful performance" against Trinidad before he got tired and ran is exaggerated. Oscar was winning the fight, but...
Floyd thinking he's the best ever is one thing. Having that mindset is fine. But he's going to have to fight more top guys to have a better...
I had it 8-4 Whitaker. The problem in that fight was the fact that Chavez's rounds were closer than Whitaker's rounds. Whitaker won his rounds...
But what if a fighter is able to neutralize his opponent's expertise? For instance, Hopkins-Trinidad. Trinidad was an accurate, vicious puncher...
We know how much you hate Floyd, but I thought you hate Slappy more, so I expected to see you list Calzaghe-Lacy. I really rarely ever hear...
Roger Mayweather, that is.
I love watching Qawi fights. The thing about "talent" is that sometimes it's hard to really define. For instance, is it meant by athleticism or...
Gatti had some decent skills. His boxing ability during "rebirth" under McGirt was still less so than it was when he did box in his younger days,...
Yeah...He doesn't merely look old...The guy is close to 40.
He's top 5 at 168....whatever that proves in its 20 year history of the division. :dunno:
I've read things about Chico that talked about his Jekkyl and Hyde ways. He was apparently a very angry drunk who would switch up after a drink...
A couple more brilliant welterweight performances of the 80s. Hearns-Cuevas Starling-Honeyghan
Curry's first knockdown on McCory is the most beautiful left hook I have ever seen thrown.
Toney is an idiot. They should've been suspended that night anyway for putting on such a terrible display of boxing. It was even worse than Roy...
As far as this decade goes: My first pick would be Pacquiao over Barrera. Not only did Pacquiao dominate a great fighter in Barrera, but he was...
That's a huge "if" for Holyfield. He was too brawl happy. He did become more controlled later on in his career (Tyson fight), but still, I...
:laughing: :lol:
I think Cotto-Judah will do better PPV numbers than any Mayweather fight prior to this year. Floyd and Leonard will counter with "Floyd was...
Floyd always talks a lot of nonsense...."I'm the greatest fighter ever".."I will fight Oscar toe-to-toe"..."I will not go to England to lose a...
True, I think approximately 0.0001% of the things that Floyd says should be taken seriously.

Yeah, that does get kind of annoying.
I've been a fan of Charles Jay since I read his article exposing that overrated hypocrite Teddy Atlas.
Cotto-Mosley is more likely to be a fan-friendly fight.
Is Zab focused?
Cotto is indeed younger and fresher than Oscar and probably hungrier. The styles of the two are obviously different. Cotto lacks the range and...
I don't know. Mayweather by boring UD is probably the safe pick, but I think Cotto may pull off the upset. I'll have to watch some of Cotto's...
