Who wins? And why? And what are the implications?
Yeah. It's definitely difficult to attribute to MMA anything about boxing's condition as a sport. Maybe boxing's doing worse than ever, but not as...
People generally discuss the UFC and MMA in general, as if it's a threat to boxing. But isn't it possible, or even likely, that growing popularity...
so you admit PBF has not had one impressive victory at 147. right?
PBF looked like absolute crap against Baldomir.
My thoughts are Dirrell is awful and belongs in the amateurs. I hope he gets iced.
Yeah. As a matter of fact I am. I think I made myself pretty clear. Don't sit there and try to rewrite history. PBF didn't beat anything up that...
"Ringcraft/boxing brain" is no less tangible than what you're calling, "physical talent." There may be things you recognize as being closely...
well, not to get off track, but Sanchez did have an amazing chin and great stamina.
the only problem is that fighting, boxing, is a physical endeavor. so it's tough to make any sense of your distinction as long as you insist on...
Well then I'd say "your" use of the term, "talent," is irresponsible, misleading, idiosyncratic, and inadequate. And I command you to cease and...
what fights of his have you seen? what made his punches seem sloppy? he loops punches in order to get around his opponent's defense in some cases...
yeah, since he beat him up so badly, right?
I think Arguello would fail miserably against Pacquiao. Any fighter like Arguello, who likes to be set to punch, is going to get run over by Pacquiao.
Sanchez would beat Pacquiao. The Pacquiao from the first JMM fight? Sanchez would batter him with ease.
Depending on the person, I might show them D. Jefferson, Mo Harris.
underrated? how so?
Please. Both were great fights. Anyone who acts like Castillo/Corrales isn't in the same category as Gomez/Pintor is just a nostalgic sentimental.
was Jabar not talented? or McCail? were they just skilled basketball players?
so what if a basketball player is tall, strong, can jump high, and run fast, but he averages 4 points a game? do you consider him physically...
Talent in boxing is when fighting comes naturally. If it were about hand-speed and other athletic abilities, we'd have to marvel at the...
Sanchez wasn't particularly talented? Are you serious?
only one problem. fights are not 3 rounds - they're 12 !!! you act surprised that you aren't able to predict the outcome of a 12 round fight by...
the point i'm making is that you throw out your track record at picking fights as evidence that you know the game. well that may be true. but it...
you're missing my point (or at least ignoring it in your response). your claim is that because i pick fights worse than you (which you haven't...
that's absolute bull-shit. you know as well as i do that i pick with my heart. while that may result in my getting a lot of picks wrong, it...
:atu: REED you're crazy.
DiBella is the biggest fraud maker out there. I think Berto was promised a shot at the winner of PBF/Mosley if he agreed to pull out of the Mosley...
i think when someone supports his conclusions with after-thoughts he is going to be frustrated on any forum, not just fightbeat's.
:bangh::bangh::bangh: ....says the guy who points to Hatton's fight with Tszyu to make his case that PBF is a hard puncher.
