Good post. Intelligent comeback. No I wouldn't have. After the Berbick fight, however, he was in the discussion. Still, to this day, I think Ali...
Perfectly said. Frazier could take a beating better than Tyson, but Tyson could undoubtedly take harder punches better than Frazier. Frazier...
Too close to call, IMO I know the fightbeaters will lopsidedly pick Toney, but objectively this is as competitive a matchup as it gets. I lean...
Tyson KO 3
Barkley arguably won 7 rounds of that fight, so KD wouldn't make a difference in the outcome...it would just make it 114-113 instead of 115-113....
"Scrubby Yuppie" being Algeri I presume (Sorry not up to date with fightbeat's latest fighter nicknames). I guess that's a good example. I think...
*groans* back at ya. Mosley hurt him, we agree? Did Floyd run away in safety first mode for the rest of the night? I seem to recall him being the...
In this fight I see one of only two things happening: either Pacquio lands frequently or he hardly lands anything at all. Nothing in the middle....
lol. I give up. If you want to say that Joe Frazier's way of punching and moving is aesthetically pleasing, so be it. To each his own...
Did he look safety first in his fight against Mosley? What about the others I listed?
nonsense. Someone may think Frank Bruno has one punch power, some else may not. Both agree on the definition of power.
I use the word "style" differently to how he uses it in this topic, but the "spirit of the law" is the same. As Ali would say..."you're just being...
We're on the same page as to what the topic is referring to.
I don't agree on calzaghe. I never named him as a style I found particularly aesthetically pleasing. His style is a little bit like sergio...
Floyd is definitely taking Manny very seriously indeed. He knows he has to be on top of his game for this one. I suspect that we'll see the best...
Well then you should know that he has it in him to tough it out if the situation demands it. He's not some pretty boy that shies away from adversity.
Yes. "smooth", "good form", "good technique", "balance", "poetry in motion", "elegance", "sophistication", "the great slystaff".....all these...
Doesn't have to be textbook. Ali's style was far from textbook, but any objective observer must concede that he was graceful (pre exile...
ok. We;ve exhausted this topic now methinks anyway. I think we're looking at the topic in two different ways, at least you now understand where...
Ricardo Mayorga vs Vernon Forrest. I'd have rather watched Mayorga (pre tito destruction) fight any day, instead of Forrest, Mayorga was...
Before Tyson fought Berbick, Smith, Thomas, Tucker, Tubbs and Spinks...he hadn't "fought anyone worth a damn" either. Yet, one could see back then...
I was planning on paying for it and I would have done. However I heard a local sport's bar/restaurant is showing it, so no need. But this si NOT a...
EXACTLY the same. Hamed too.
Fair enough. I do think though that evaluating the beauty in the way a guy moves and throws punches, from a boxing purist's perspective, IS...
Perhaps you never saw the following fights: Mayweather- Mosley Mayweather-Burton (Augustus) Mayweather-Hatton Mayweather-Catillo 1 (damaged...
Irish's point is valid, you can't just reduce a discussion to "it's a matter of personal opinion" whenever you feel like it. In the case of the...
Let me ask you this (at the risk of sending this topic off on a tangent) is beauty subjective? Specifically, beauty in reference to a woman's...
Nice. Yes, UFC has had its time in the sun, but it is by nature just a niche sport...and quite frankly its long term appeal is only with sadistic...
Why did you have to go...there? Race has little to do with it. It's because MMA is too unpredictable and random by nature. It's not a science...
agreed.
