Jesus that was the big one how did I forget it. It underlined my thinking then I couldn't remember it. This year is fucked. I mean West Ham,...
I just rewatched him vs Patterson, both fights, he was effortless back then in his punching.
A part of me says that Randy Turpin beats Ray Robinson if Ray doesn't land that long opportunistic right hand in the 10th round. Ray never landed...
Jesus I HATED that prick Margarito, Hated him. Him and that whole Oxnard scene, Little Roberto the Potty Mouth, Fernanda La Comida, etc. [IMG]...
Wasn't there only about 1 or 2 rounds left?
JJ Leija vs Camacho was another one- didn't Camachos people check the cards to see what the scores were before they pulled the plug? It seemed...
That ought to do it. I also think Barrera had been getting to Khan and they saw a way out with the cut. [MEDIA]
He ran around for 11 rounds after a guy he'd have cut to pieces in 4 or 5 rounds about 2 years beforehand. This is the point.........Hatton won,...
Likewise Hatton post-Castillo. He never looked that good again. Floyd beats him and all of a sudden dudes like Lazcano - a guy Hatton beats for...
It's not about good fighters or bad fighters or medium fighters........it's about guys who suddenly- irrespective of their level- suddenly display...
.......he got hit on the ass by bad luck, or exceptional talent from his opponent, or both. I remember the Patterson vs Ali fight, second fight,...
Jesus..........Danny Williams had 3 losses when he fought Vitali. One of them was a stoppage to Sinan Samil Sam, when he was diagnosed with...
"Yeah, I made him fall off pretty quick". [IMG]
I heard he had been drinking a lot. When he came back for the Maidana fight, he had this pot belly and no arms. Usually a sign of some sort of...
Kelly Pavlik also became a bit of a joke overnight.........the loss to Hopkins was suprising but it's not like it was a career ending beating. He...
Some journeymen seem to stay tough forever and then suddenly begin to not lose- which they always did- but lose badly. Shane Sutcliffe was one of...
Yeah the facefirsters always seem to go that way. It's so obvious, the accumulative effect of punishment. Some guys like Gatti get away with it-...
Quarry vs Spencer for the King of the Downhill Fast Title. [MEDIA] Pause it at 6:09 I am CERTAIN that that is Dick O'Neill of Pelham123 fame.
He did like to imitate Ali verbally, I think he might have been a sort of a KINGRY of this time, a bit of a showpony who knew how to act the part...
Chavez had been beaten up by Tszyu and failed to beat MAG. He was shot to shit. But he's a legend!! A LEGEND. I can just smell Lampley right...
That whole division of Welters from 1999-2009 didn't go downhill as much as they just went around and around and around in a gigantic fucking...
I can't claim to know much about this area but I'd think Arguello might need to be on any list. 5 punchers is a small list. I would accept...
10 years and an entire division of bedwetting gatekeepers....... Oscar loses to Shane Shane loses to Forrest Forrest loses to Mayorga Mayorga...
Not everybody at HBO. For a decade or more, 147 was a merry go around of guys losing to each other, with all of them claiming a...
With the week that has been in it, the moment I saw the guy Valencia going off for West Ham, I put £5 on them getting a win-draw. From 0-3 to...
One of the things I used to rant about here was how circular the arguments were about who was a "good fighter" and how "strong" a division was....
Oh, and Pac was a cheat.
Cotto vs Pac. I think Cotto quit on himself in that fight. He wouldn't go back into the trenches when the chances presented themselves, he was...
SOmetimes the collapse has already happened- and in a reasonable fashion too. JC Chavez losing to Willy Wise was a big "upset" but Chavez was...
Norris for sure- he was on the verge of a touted $4.5m payday vs Oscar [Remember the Oscar-Lottery??] and then he just fell apart vs club-fighter...
