Floyd always gives God credit. He does it respectfully and keeps it brief. I respect that. Pacquiao goes overboard.
Gatti was undoubtedly one of Floyd's best performances. People look to Ali's performance against Williams so why not look to Floyd's against...
You and I agree on this, but many people do not. It's common practice to underrate Tyson nowadays and say shit like he only fought bums in his...
Agreed. That irritated the hell out of me. Don't bring God into this hurt business. It's ok what Floyd does and I admire him for it, "First of...
Exactly!! You know what you're talking about where this topic is concerned. Vitali has an awful looking wa of fighting but his fights are enjoyable.
Great examples. You and I are on the same page.
You're better than this Musze, leave that to some of these other guys here. Doesn't offend me, but that statement is saying more about you than it...
Exactly. Well said. You described his style perfectly. Awful aesthetics. Simply awful.
Honorable mention to PBF-Bruseles. Having a conversation with the announcers while you are beating teh crap out of your opponent, is noteworthy....
Pac 1. De La Hoya 2. Cotto 3. Hatton 4. Morales 3 5. Morales 2 PBF 1. Corrales 2. Gatti 3. N'Dou 4. Hatton 5. Canelo
Exactly. That's the difference. When I think aesthetically pleasing I'm talking about the aesthetics of his style: the way he fighter punches,...
I know you were agreeing...I just wanted an excuse to use that quote.
How can Frazier be underrated when mooks consistently rate him as greater than Mike Tyson, for one thing?
What can I say....I'm itching to talk about boxing this week, in the lead up to this huge fight. Enjoy my presence while it lasts.
"Oh, there they go. There they go, every time I start talkin' 'bout boxing, a white man got to pull Rocky Marciano out they ass. That's their one,...
The latter. Almost a no-win situation for Floyd. In fact every mayweather fight is a no-win...because if he beats them in a struggle, he's a...
I can't. Hearns was a great boxer but make no mistake, he was in love with his power. He was a PUNCHER that could box as opposed to a boxer that...
lol Obviously Frazier is a great fighter, but he gets overrated.
Not just fights where you expect a slugest or a brutal war, and not fights involving bums that have never won a title, but fights between...
Joe Frazier was a one dimensional one armed left hooking cunt. His left arm was permanently bent so all he could do with it was fucking hook and...
I agree, in principle, but the staredown is misleading since Hagler appears to be looking down at the taller opponent. lol Like I said it's the...
We wont agree on Mugabi. you overrate him. He's an unproven banger. Nigel Benn, Eubank, McCallum....any of those guys would have killed him. That...
I dunno...during the staredown the angle of the camera made it appear as though Mugabi was taller but once they start fighting Hagler looks...
FUCK...you're a stubborn Irishman. lol Hagler is taller and bigger in that fight. Clearly. I just googled it and picked a random image. Look...
Sure..but is that limited to the style of fighting (the LOOK of the way he fights)....or do the results have anything to do with it? Because...
Hopkins? Ok...this response tells me that people have different criteria to myself when talking about styles. To clarify.... When I...
But with the same token, the great fighters Hagler beat were moving up from lighter divisions (Hearns and Duran). Hagler never beat a full fledged...
No one denies this....not even a Floyd "nuthugger" like me. It was clear that his glove touched the canvas as the result of a punch. As UGO said,...
Watch the fight again. Hagler was SIGNIFICANTLY bigger than Mugabi in the ring. And Hagler wasn't a huge Middeweight. I've watched that fight many...
Firstly....it's just an excuse, to justify Norris KO'ing a guy that Hagler struggled with. Mugabi was on a similar KO streak leading up to the...
