Gosh damn, Reed, you're so fucking smart you must be rolling in the money you win betting on boxing. Back up your bullshit and bet on the dominant...
I do think Hatton can beat either one of them. Obviously he's not the pick, but shit happens in boxing. And Tszyu was very close to as good as...
Why don't you point out where I was ludicrous in this thread, Reed. Or any thread. You are projecting a quitter attitude to a guy who probably...
Bobby Chacon. Where you are being dense is that you think Hatton needs to improve. He doesn't. He just needs things to turn out differently. He...
Lennox Lewis, Terry Norris, Oscar Larios, Tommy Hearns, Wladimir Klitschko, Humberto Gonzalez, Willie Pep, Roberto Duran, Junior Jones It's not...
Of course I do. Shit happens at the world class level and if you haven't seen a fighter come back and beat a fighter who previously whipped his...
Chagaev is interesting since he has acted so pissed about getting taken out of the valuev fight. Chambers is a legit fight, but I'd rather see...
Quitter attitude. Unlikely that Hatton would have enjoyed the success he has with anything close to this mentality.
Hatton doesn't need to become a boxer to enjoy success at the top level. He only needs a big win. And that big win can come doing what he does....
Darchinyan has successfully moved up a whopping 3 lbs. Adamek trumps that easily. I would tend to lean toward guys who move up AND down as...
Apparently, Ross didn't want to take any chances with having to get into the ring with Henry. He went off and got mugged and shot just to make...
That doesn't matter. He is a Romanian who beat Henry in Romania.

blah blah blah...No one ever said there wasn't cross-over with the those sports. The athletic ability needed to excel is obviously more...
Come on, REED. A top notch athlete has options. Whatever athletic attributes you want to attribute to the guys you mentioned, NONE of them could...
Name one top notch boxer who made the big time in another sport. I know of none. Name one who could have made the big time. I still don't know...
good article
There may be nfl or nba guys who could do well in boxing, but there is no reason to assume they are the best players in the nfl or nba. You don't...
being athletic doesn't = heavyweight champ and being tall doesn't = NBA. chagaev probably couldn't make any D1 linebacker corps and yet he would...
how many heavyweight champs could have made the NBA? Hot shit...the answer appears to be zero. Maybe the two sports require different...
144 lbs and 40% is only a means to the 50/50 147 lb end for pacq and floyd.
Wasn't accusing you of doing that. Just pointing out that you are the only one who picked a different winner out of all 5 fights.
REED screwed up everyone picking the same winners. Bad week.
I'd lean Ali, but Wolfe stretching her wouldn't have been a big surprise. Women's boxing is down in the US lately, but there are a couple of...
I vote yes for Friday fights Jhonny Gonzalez KO10 Rafael Marquez KO4 Javier Castro KO3 Darren Barker WUD Daud Yordan KO3
I think that is a stock photo from his 160 lb days. That's mY guess, anyway. Ward is too good to lose to Miranda and plays too safe to KO him. I...
I would have guessed wrong on his first name. What's with the Steve Dave/Mike Dave names?
Andre Ward WUD Krystztof Wlodaczyk KO11 Ali Ismailov KO8 Satoshi Hosono KO3 AJ Banal KO6
A prime Hopkins gets beat by Kessler. When was the prime Hopkins, btw?
There is one guy who Hopkins briefly 'ducked'--Harry Simon--and Simon fucked up that argument for mE very well. I like the Holmes win, I like...
