If these intangibles are romanticized conceptions without basis in real world, I can't see that being such a bad thing
Not really. Without the size factor Marquez would have tried to attack more and Floyd's shots wouldn't have hurt him as much, and Floyd couldn't...
You are completely correct. Also it must be noted that size shouldn't count against a fighter when judging how 'great' he is. That doesn't really...
Terrell also had more reach than Doug Jones, Karl Mildenberger and Ken Norton, all boxer-types who have nothing over Wlad and who troubled Ali
Ali is the favorite about 55:45 but no more than that. Fairly quick and skillful boxer-types were able to trouble Ali, and besides those Wlad had...
Wlad-Ibragimov
You are completely correct that boxing is not that simple, but to be able to discuss it in any plausible way you must neglect some factors. Maybe...
:doh::lol: try JuanMa Lopez
If Duran really didn't want the fight, he shouldn't have accepted it, He had plenty of money already and he would have gotten a good contract...
How can you give a pass to a fighter for not training? Getting yourself into shape is as essential as having skill, having physical abilities etc....
Kelly Pavlik nearly blew it when he taunted Jermain Taylor in their second round.
Angulo would find him first
Even then Cintron would probably rather take a dive out of the plane than try the bomb
You should respect my religion a bit more:warning:
Why not try to do that, go down fighting and come back to prove your greatness another time, instead of embarrassing yourself and getting your ass...
We have seen many great fighters quit because of getting battered, being injured etc. But has there ever been another guy who surrendered like a...
True. And even if it didn't, Duran would quickly come up with another shameful excuse
Tyson was in his prime between Nielsen and McBride fights. He had the experience in addition to his physical abilities then. Too bad the division...
:cheer:agreed. This bout really burst the Duran bubble and exposed the myth
All the sources about Duran-Hearns are also wrong. Duran was unable to fight on his terms because of the ring and Hearns avoided fighting by...
He had the B&W talent. Similar examples could be Holmes-Spinks, Louis-Conn and Ali-Foster
If weight classes are excluded, then Clay-Moore must rank high. Ketchel-Johnson probably too
Had the ring been half that size, Duran would have quit in half of that time
Leonard-Benitez Charles-Moore Calzaghe-Jones Monzon-Napoles
The original movies were awesome. It is difficult to add anything new to them
Almost correct. A cut occurs at :13 and eleven seconds later ref stops it
I see
I hate this type of speculations, even if you don't have an agenda behind it. It is based on the same logic as 'he is not a 15 round fighter',...
Though if the fights still were 15 rounds, perhaps more fighters would fight that way:dunno:
Don't forget to hide behind popcorn emoticons. :popcorn:
