Reckon a realistic assessment of just how weak the era they've worked in's got to be factored in.
There's nothing so sociologically interesting at play here. Just the straight forward drying up of a sport who's time's passed. You're right that...
Very good example
I don't think there's a precedent, no. It's an exciting fight. But on the downside, I don't think there's been a moment in boxing history since...
Buchanan fairly easily. 10-4-1
I thought allowing Pac 13 days of cheat time was a generous offer at the time. Now, after Floyd has said he takes the offer off the table Pac...
Indeed. Bon voyage, bucko.
Exactly what I thought :lol:
What a flouncing weirdo Froch is.
Norris by decisive UD.
Norris UD.
:cheer:
oh GOD. Lets not revisit Chavez-Taylor, please. Taylor couldn't continue, Chavez had achieved the underlying objective of boxing - he's physically...
Suppose, yeah. But given the manner of the losses (contestable) and Hops weight issues Im inclined to be fairly forgiving of them. Especially...
Did he say it shortly after the fight? If so mibbes he was in denial about his diminishing abilities? Or even that because he HAD to fight on for...
Tito sucked but he was Sugar Ray compared to jeff lacy. It's a fair thread because it's true, the gulf isn't great but Hops' is better for mine....
Dividing the number of fights by about 25 might be a better strategy
Fair point but I never put much weight on what fighters say about opponents, personally. So much of it is either driven by protecting their own...
I'd imagine 6 months training for a marathon = aging about 3 years. :old:
Right, so Pac isn't weaker, iyo. But wouldn't that be even more of an advantage for him if the fight took place closer to HIS natural weight than...
I heard that too. He lived down the street from the family home of a mate of mine in Cumbernauld. There are vastly worse places to end up in...
I can't tell if this post is sarcastic or not.
The aging teacher who can't quite control the class anymore but still commands some respect: Hopkins The aging teacher who the class bully picks...
:lol:
Prime for prime? Prime Ali 7-2-1. Louis 9-1. Hagler 6-4.
class clown: kermit cintron class bully: floyd the bulliee/nerd: JMM star athlete/gufawing jock: amir Khan most likely to succeed: Tavoris Cloud!...
So the fact that Floyd is at least 2 natural divisions bigger isn't an advantage at all? In the slightest?
And it was true. Pac really is every inch Henry Armstrong's equal in the 'making weight classes seem totally irrelevant' stakes. It's just too...
Im not sure boxing has the characters any more to make this thread a goer! :(
Seriously though, pics like that bring it back home how crazy it is that pac is beating elite welterweights. It's really nuts, the guys frame...
