Definitely worth the bet. Always the possibility, with Shane's size strength and body punches and Manny's relatively vulnerable midsection, of...
Shane's too brave for his own good. I hope his corner is merciful and stops the fight early in order to prevent serious brain injuries.
Prince William and Katherine Middleton?
I brought up Cotto and Forrest because both were stopped by Margartio and Mayorga respectively who were in turn stopped by Mosley and De La Hoya...
Wrong. I said Floyd would DOMINATE Shane and he did. You said, and I quote "If Floyd is as good as you make him out to be then he should beat...
I agree with every single sentence in this post.
Jones KO 1
Tyson by decision. Prime Mercer was virtually impossible to stop.
In boxing....Age aint nuth'n but a number Hopkins at 40+ was beating up the likes of Tarver and Pavlik. Those "senior citizens", in their...
So what? We're going to turn this thread into a political one now? Y'all forgot Mason already? The dude got no respect when he was alive and...
I get the impression that you're not too fond of Floyd Mayweather Jnr. :atu:
Posters and fight fans weren't hyping the fight, is the point.
Possibly. He was undefeated in over 30 fights at the time...and had beaten Tyrell Biggs among others. Very nice person. Sincere. Genuine....
There was definitely far more hype surrounding Lewis than Mason at the time. Mason was hardly noticed, even in Britain. He was the British...
He's beyond help.
It remember it being 50-50..if anything Lewis had the slight edge. I thought Mason was going to win though and jumped on the Lewis bandwagon...
All of that is included under the umbrella of "promoters" alluded to by Steve Dave.
Fair enough
Yeah but... Both Corrales and Hatton were considered to have had solid chins up to the point of fighting Floyd. Also even after that fight,...
Boxing is a cunt's game.
Yup Floyd ran from Corrales, Castillo, De La Hoya, Hatton and Mosley. He would certainly also run from the terrifying Ayala.
Good thread, but too much work.
VERY sad. He was a great guy. Genuine. Only lost one fight in his career and that was to Lennox Lewis.
:lol:
:giggle: What's he smoking?
Gimme the upset pick. De La Hoya by Mid round KO. Too big, too fast too powerful. Lethal combination.
Yup. How could I forget Ali.
I second that. Very good post, the kind that shows maturity and analytical thinking.
SO far Floyd seems pretty KO proof, but I will concede that he hasn't fought enough people to test that theory yet. But he seems to have the same...
Agree totally. Dare I say it: for reasons already mentioned by yourself, more KO proof that Duran in fact.
Separate names with a comma.
