Spinks would hit and grab his way to a decision.
Khan ' s entire style now though is built around protecting his chin. He makes sure to be first, falls in after he throws, smothers, holds, repeats.
Canelo ' s defense has improved. Plus he seems to have a good chin. I see Lara having to work too hard as Canelo backs him up. Canelo by decision.
But irwin was the "tough" opponent he worked up to. It somehow became this tough matchup with build-up.
I don't see the Forrest similarity myself. Crawford fights with more finesse. Is less classical. And is quicker I think. Maybe Crawford is a...
Not true.
:lol: Remember Irwin was Spadafora ' s crowning achievement...
Crawford appears to have some of the same instincts as Tito, but there's no indication he uses illegal wraps. Plus, he's quicker.
You're misinterpreting what I said (probably due to your hypersensitivity when it comes to your heros). My point wasn't to diminish RJJ or SRL. It...
Crawford will just have to keep beating people to make his point. He doesn't fit the SRL/RJJ mold of flash and speed and I think a lot are...
Barthelemy already lost decisively to a guy Bertrand beat easily. So clearly Bertrand is more deserving.
RJJ often fought guys off the ropes. Especially aggressive ones like Johnson. It's not like he "boxed" guys with foot-work. Against guys...
RJJ landed plenty of hard shots against Johnson. But unlike Telesco Johnson knew how to integrate offense and defense. And he fought at the right...
I could imagine Pacquiao stopping this guy if he finds he Algieri can't hurt him.
Clogg, I wrote that just because I knew it would pass you off. :lol:
I don't think Ali fought regularly for 5+ years after losing to Holmes. Johnson showed what smart aggression does to a guy like RJJ. Short...
Next time Pac loses, it will undoubtedly be because of his age/wear and tear. That's for sure.
Cotto may be the last guy besides JMM who actually tried to win. If Rios, for example, had tried to win he would've been ko'd for sure. Still, if...
Glen John son's schooling and eventual KO of RJJ was mastery. More so than Tarver, I think Johnson showed how to beat RJJ.
Guy reminds me of Doogie Houser
Ha ha. Yuppie scrub. Is this a first in boxing? A real live yuppie health food eating suburban Caucasian
Wonder if Letter laugh would agree. :lol:
What's wrong REED, you don't like the idea of applying the term "pulling a RJJ" to describe the practice in boxing of milking a T.V. contract at...
This fight is getting made? This is what happens when all the good fighters at 147 are with Showtime and Al Haymon. Blame GBP, TR, Haymon, HBO and...
De La Hoya. But although most will concur, he won't get any credit for being so good as to have beaten such a great fighter.
If there's one thing that gets me started, it's a lack of appreciation for offensive boxing. That is, the ability of fighters like Qawi to win...
I agree. Tszyu was a true 140 pounder in the sense X said: too big for 135 and too small for 147. And it's one reason he never would've beaten...
Well, Donaire did knock Rigondeaux down so I don't know how anyone could say he barely landed a punch. He was clearly out-boxed but let's not...
By the logic of some, RJJ never should ' very faced Tarver in the first place since he'd already beaten Harding.
I almost forgot.On top of everything else, RJJ was like David at 175, up against one Goliath after another. Yeah sure. And actually, the Jirov...
