Toney vs Jones was a non-event. James was losing to Drake Thadzi and Griffin about as often as he was beating Barkley and that Prince Charles lad....
Yes. What is of more debatable nature is why it has declined. I think its a related concept. The sport declines in America, so interest in boxing...
Here's the thing..when a moron like Bush is President, we can only assume that at least 50.1% of the electorate....are morons. Lampley is head...
Right. The main commentator at HBO thinking that Joe had risen to stop Eubank kind of suggests that no too much attention was paid to 168 during...
I don't accept that. In any event, considering the original post at the start, such a fight, had it been between two Americans, would have...
How could he have known about the brace of fights they had, and the results, and make a statement like that? In any event, I think its...
Cdogg should read this, its a classic example of what I am talking about. :dancingBaby: The Yanks won't show it twice. The Brits won't show...
No...its not an attack on individuals, its not even an attack per se.....it's more an abandonment than anything else. People don't take interest...
I see it as a statement made by a guy who had given up covering boxing, is how I see it. I see it as broadly representative of the feudal...
That was in what year? By roughly the time Hauser came to make his epically flippant pronouncement, Roy Jones was pushing cans around at 175,...
That was done out of expediency by me. Do give me some license.:blackcloud:
No, he just made a sweeping statement, the like of which no writer of his caliber should ever have made, and the like of which no writer of his...
Some of the Brazilian, Japanese and Central Asian dudes look very good, like they might have promise.
No, but John didn't rise from the dead in Ireland either. We didn't sit here and say "Dallas Schmallas, He's still alive".
Maybe.......but.........anybody who knew that Eubank had two wars with Carl Thompson, and that Calzaghe had beaten Eubank immediately before...
Eubank had the talent, Thompson had the size and the grit. Eubank always seemed to have some minor financial issues lurking in the background and...
Really? Who said that? I mentioned Frazier, who was KO'd by uppercuts during his career, thrown as they were by a guy who didn't have a better...
Yes, I should have known, the mere mention of how the fight between Thompson and Eubend was unknown in America would bring out the worst,...
Well, they fight like Willie Pastrano at least. :popcorn:
Great fights are great fights. How often is straweight discussed? Often enough for Ricardo Lopez to get a mention. If a noted writer can pause...
Well.......that's reasonable. He probably wants to discuss his options...and his options are pretty limited right now. He's missed the boat...
:lol: Referee was lifting his arm before the colour of his vest was even announced. He looked the exact same before and after the Cuban fight....
:dunno: Unlikely. Besides.....that doesn't mean he didn't deserve the decision tonight. I can't see scrubby josh turn pro either just yet. Only...
1. He's such a fucking moron. He was on tele saying his career has been on a constant upward swing since he beat Kindelan. 2.No chance. What's...
After he beat the Chinaman a few years ago I said he should turn pro and the place was littered with people saying he wouldn't make it. This was...
I dislike him because he should have turned pro, had a crack at it, made some money, and fucked off again. Apart from that I like the guy, like...
All the countback tells you is that scrubby josh was being looked after...it means the judges were button mashing from the get go. It works by...
Thompson knocked out Haye, and was in epic wars with Uriah Grant, Ezra Sellers, Eubanks times two and Sebastian Rothmann....but you won't hear his...
THat's pretty much what it comes down to. The "never fight in Germany" thing rings pretty hollow right now.
He didn't win it by three points. You can give him the third if you want but a round which is won by 3 is usually won big. Fastest countback ever,...
