This is tough. I'm with Hex on Trinidad/Jackson. Hadn't thought of that, but what a fight that would be. Also, I have to go with Sal...
Has anyone else wondered where the hell REED has been? Is he too good for this forum? WTF! Show yourself REED.
Oh. That one. Not the one who lost two fights later to Calzaghe? You are aware that Hopkins has several losses on his record, and Charles even...
A better question is how Dawson might have done against Charles. Come Monday, this thread will be obsolete. Besides that, it should be in mythical...
Well, he is British. So by retiring, he'd further the perception that British champions, unlike American ones, have the capacity to retire from...
First off, the thread openly asks the question regarding nationality. It doesn't declare it to be a factor. Secondly, three counter-examples...
The review on Amazon is not unfair - the book does jump around quite a bit in terms of its purpose and the point of it all. The review also...
I suspected that too. And if it's true, and that's really where his mind is, it's even worse than I thought.
This isn't about whether or not fighters maximized their legacy by going out on a high note. It's about whether or not they retired at a...
Why? Because he lost a fight? Sorry. Two fights. Had Hatton retired any sooner than he did, it would've been just plain weird. Can you check...
Sorry. It's actually called: War, Baby: The Glamour of Violence...
It occurs to me there's a solid history of Britain's top fighters retiring in a timely fashion: Lewis Hatton Calzaghe Hamed Presumably, these...
Benn/McClellan for sure. In fact, as good as that fight is, I consciously choose not to watch it when I have the urge. It's just depressing. And...
Really? Holt is favored? That's interesting because Garcia is definitely the prospect here. I like it. Imagine that - matching a prospect up with...
I'm looking forward to these fights on Saturday. It will be nice to see Hopkins lose decisively. Oh, he lost to Calzaghe. And drew with Pascal....
I'm not so sure the fighters are the problem. Isn't the problem the fights? Guys like PBF, Pacquiao, Dawson, Ward, Donaire, Gamboa,...
That's even worse. Small minds? We're in mindless territory.
Jaws doesn't talk that way. And stop ganging up on him. You guys are acting like a bunch of girls. Remember: small minds discuss people. Average...
It's interesting to consider what would've happened had these fighters refused to face each other. For example, consider if Spinks had refused to...
I think we agree to the extent possible clinching should be eliminated from the sport, especially as a tactic for overcoming fatigue or for...
:giggle::giggle:
I just mean bad commentators are a symptom of a larger problem. My primary complaint when it comes to commentators is their lack of objectivity...
Valero wins
I think the commentators are a symptom of a larger, more fundamental problem.
I hear you. This might interfere with the antics of fighters like PBF who depend on everything except beating the best consistently to further...
I don't think it's a fighter's responsibility to work out of a clinch. Rather, it's his responsibility (and that of his opponents) not to initiate...
I was being sarcastic. I think every fighter who makes hundreds of thousands a dollar or more per fight should be fighting nothing but the next...
It's tough out there for a professional prize-fighter who doesn't know how to box. People should be more understanding. What's he supposed to do?...
Bernard Hopkins vs. "Bad" Chad Dawson (Dawson will win which makes the card worthwhile) *Antonio DeMarco vs. Jorge Linares **Danny Garcia vs....
:lol: Is he way shot or what? I don't recall his more recent fights.
Separate names with a comma.
