Well as I always say, comparing boxers from so far back to practitioners of the modern sport (30s-> roughly, IMO) is just fraught with too many...
Exactly....as I went through it I started to doubt my initial answer. A sensible case could be made either way.
When you break it down Marciano's resume is really astoundingly poor. A very shopworn 33 year old Charles, staggering on the very precipice of...
Thats how I see it. Its a matter of time.
I'd probably give that to Marciano. But the fact he has a shiny '0' doesn't mean a whole lot to me, either. If a prime Joe Louis had been around...
Yet mikE will argue that Pac wasn't a 'champ' at feather because he didn't pick up one of these illustrious titles.:shit: HBO, Showtime & Ring...
Fucking hell....:shit::shit::shit::shit:
Agreed. DLH's career >> Joe Calzaghe's.
:lol:
I love Sly muchly but he's truly obsessed with losses.
God I fucking hate this thread :lol: So many agendas and counter agendas and obliqueness nobody even knows what we're talking about anymore. I...
Allot of strange anger and vitriol in that article
Good yins
:lol: I can't spell mate.
The fact he punches very hard doesn't mean he isn't smaller. Doesn't necessarily mean he's weaker either. But that's beside the point....if HE...
TBH, I really, really hate the term 'exposed'. It's usually used to make defeats more definitively meaningful than they really are and fosters a...
Mitchel Kane hit it right I think - the best/only way would be for the TV networks to write it into their contracts across the board. Like you say...
Hope Barret beats him, he deserves it. Both men deserve it.
I'd have to pick with Mercer here I think. I mean Jones would have to go the full 12 without taking anything significant. And he wouldn't have the...
What do you mean?
Exactly, great point. HBO & Showtime could surely put a stipulation like that in their contract. For every point over 15% bf you come in we take...
Well for what it's worth, my exact view point is this: if Floyd wins its a GREAT win. It's exactly like Hagler beating Hearns, Sanchez beating...
TBF, I think boxing is allot different to MMA in that deadweight could potentially be an advantage in grappling, but it very rarely is in boxing....
*truce* :lol:
Absolutely agreed. As I said, 3 deliberate clinches in a round should be a point off. If a guy's hurt he can make the judgement call on whether...
REED, we're clearly talking right past each other. Lets cut to the chase - what agenda do you think is behind people bringing up Pac being...
I never said the limit should be 10% that would be ridiculous. That's the limit in F1, I only brought it up illustratively. And valuev btw carried...
Right cool, you've managed to convince yourself that the laws of newtonian physics shouldn't apply to this particular fight or any other fight in...
Valuev never came in fat. Try again.
He'll get every bit of credit he has coming his way if and when he beats Pac. It'll be a great win over a very good welterweight.
