Thread isn't really about who did or did not win.....its about how preconceived the press were about it. Johnny Nelson did say that DeGale had it...
Klitschko has NO CHIN, knowamsayin?
I don't doubt that Valuev was "hideous" - it is hard to be anything less when you are 7' 2". But the guy gutted it out and racked up some wins. As...
It's the unanimity of the pro-DeGale support, the SKY SPORTS panel were basically announcing before the fight that "we know DeGale is going to...
Has Arreola actually got his shit together?? 236, fighting often....:dunno:
Sly's mid-term report: Maths: Decent. English: Good. Comprehension: Not much. Boxing: Must try harder.
To bad they never had the decency to come up with one for Klitschko, either of them. :goodnews:...
Where is Dymipepel when you need him.
Yanez looks as if he may have been, momentarily, deprived of oxygen at birth.
John Ruiz was a good tough heavyweight who competed against other good tough heavyweights.
I read Ring Magazine, they keep me in the light over these things.
"escaped with a draw" You are forgetting Buddy, that Hagler was, oh but of course, 1. Black. 2. Good. 3. A Southpaw. He was never going to...
Oh, the cut-prone midget with the club foot? Another legend. :rolleyes:
Ring Magazine said he was the worst MW champ of all time. I go with Ring, they know their stuff. :nono:
Valuev did what has always been done in Heavyweight boxing- parlay size and strength and husband it to his minimal talent to gut out results. The...
There have been worse titlists than Valuev- Primo Carnera, for one, Hugo Corro, for another, not to mention other crap like Terrible Terry McGovern.
Guy has one of the best resume's in boxing right now and has probably done more to earn a shot than David Haye.
Klitschko should win, though he is now nearly 40 and is clearly on the decline. Its unlikely Adamek is any better an athlete or fighter than...
you obviously don't know what he's sayin........:boring:
Yes but they are the rules by which boxing is judged today. Todays fighters often come out in top in MM's without the audience being able, or...
The thing is you are asking modern pundits to comment on an old fight- we tend to be influenced by our modern rules and apply them accordingly....
Careful, Careful.....:nono: :lol:
Possibly, but in any case where under old or previous rules the loser would have been the winner, there will always be cases where the loser draws...
This is known in the world of science as Sympatho-Facetiousness , and in plain English as load of old sympathetic crap.
Sly believes a worryingly large percentage of what he types. Still, he is OK.
Its one of those fights where I wish there was some way to molecularly analyze the damage done to both men. Morales was half-blind and must have...
yeah but he fought more than his fair share of guys who were bigger than him.....and did better than OK too. Conn decisioned 6'0" 186lb Lee Savold...
:Lok::Lok::Lok::Lok::Lok::Lok::Lok::Lok:
Yes, and Wlad won a wider than wide decision, had had Ibragimov down and going, though no knockdown was called. Furthermore, Ibragimov has a...
Haye was wide open to the left hook against Valuev as he moved off the ropes to his own right. Valuev eventually threw it a few times but it was...
