You're talking about HEART...and that's lovely. But I'm referring to pre-fight motivation which displayed itself after in the ring.
I think you're missing the point of this thread. Fuck, I could say that Louis was motivated for all of his title defenses based upon: a) How...
Compared with Louis-Schmeling though?
:giggle: Not to go back and forth but.... 1. No point separating handspeed from combination punching. 2. No one has faster feet than...
Say what!??!! I started the thread and so I dictate the rules motherfucker!:fightme: :lol: Besides "most motivated performance" is...
Ali - Terrell
Pac has faster hands. Floyd's upper-body movement and reflexive counterpunches are faster.
Dude........ Tyson was NOT the champion in the Berbick fight!! Spinks is a good one though. Editted: Although to Whiskey's point...
Jack Johnson against Jeffries would be another
Agreed. Manny is a tough fight for Floyd regardless of the Mosley outcome.
Marquez was a "leftover"?
You really think he was that motivated for Don Cockell and Roland La Starza? Enough to compare with the aforementioned? Come on be serious...
Confusing thread title so let me explain. In which defense of the Heavyweight championship was the defending Champion at the time the most...
fair enough. This thread is really about gauging everyone's opinion. I'm not preaching any doctrines.
agreed completely.
And I also see what you're saying re the bite fight. I was PISSED at the time. I hadn't anticipated a fight like that in years and for it to end...
But he was utterly dominated. Utterly! Could have badly affected his psyche. But we digress...
I don't see people looking at boxing as a non-serious sport. I see people bored with boxing because it doesn't have an exciting heavyweight...
I don't agree with this statement at all.
Agreed. If Pacquiao absolutely destroys Shane..Floyd's going to have to do something else in order to leave the sport with an impressive...
Good point. There's isn't anyone. Hearns' is simply a Welterweight Nemesis. Height/reach/speed/power combination is intense!
Does this enhance Floyd's legacy? Serious question. If Shane were to actually beat Pacquiao (which I don't see happening to be honest)...
What's the word on Floyd anyway? Is he retired or what? He's getting older...if he stays inactive for much longer he'd better stay retired.
Disagree. Sure...he did embarrass boxing with the Rape conviction and the ear-biting (the latter, moreso IMO)...but IN NO WAY did that cancel...
I don't see a stoppage. Haye is no Tangstad or Geriatric Cooney.
fixed
word. I've drawn my blade already
word.
Me too.
I didn't see the fight (forgot it was on)..but just read the result on boxrec and it seems as though both men were knocked down twice. Based...
