Zac is getting destroyed and he's not even trolling.

 

Rahman did not beat James Toney? :notallthere:

McClellan WAS basically "just bigger" than Jackson. If they're the same size, Jackson wins that fight via KO.

 

Without size, McClellan was nothing.

 

you certainly are not serious.

 

I'm sure he is, and even though he's wrong...his exaggerated point still stands. McClellan was a weight cutter, in the same mold as say...Diego Corrales. Guys who's freakish size allowed them to blow away smaller, less talented, or older competition.

You make McClellan a natural 160 pounder and I honestly believe he's a borderline top 10 contender. He was slow and resonably robotic/unskilled. Even with his ammy background and trainer.

 

Tam: + :shit: , + :shit: , + :shit: , + :shit: ,

my laptop reaks now, thanks alot

 

Then tell us all. In what ways was McClellan better than Jackson in the ring? Did he hit harder? Debatable. Many/most would give it to Jackson. Was he faster? Not in the least. Was he a better boxer? No. Was he in better condition? No. Chin? Maybe.

 

Sorry, bro. But I didn't think much of McClellan. Never have. Just a huge puncher, with an incredible size advantage. Not to be nasty or anything, but were you around when McClellan had his short run as a champ@ 160? Don't you remember the stories of how he made weight and how much he'd drop in the last 24 hours?

The kinds of things he did, are not able to be done by 99% of fighters and its one of those big reasons why I believe same day weigh-ins should be back.

 

I agree with you totally. Mccellan also has 2 previous losses before Benn which people either ignore or don't know about. Benn just didn't decide to have a chin one night. The fact is Mccellan didn't have enough power to stop him because he was fighting someone who was, at that time, a legit Supermiddleweight. The GMAN was humiliated by Dan Ward(although I didn't see it) and Dennis "The Magician" Milton who I actually saw fight. Milton lasted less than three minutes against Julian Jackson and was kayoed by a blow to the top of the head. He beat Mccellen.

 

This all came from Boxrec. You saw neither of those fights.

 

I never saw either which is what I said. I never saw Ralph Ward fight but I did see Dennis Milton and he fought JJ and lasted a round. I might even have the broadcast in my collection. I never saw Ward at all. His record is not good. I did see Milton he fought like Corey Stinks until he got clipped. I have almost all of the GMANS televised fights including a few rounds of the Sanderline Williams fight. I don't know if the two losses were ever shown.

 

Trinidad vs anyone half-decent at 160lb.

It really doesn't matter anyway, for every fight you can name where a slight size advantage swung the fight in the favor of the lesser fighter I can show 2 where it didn't. You have to take the styles into account and I just don't see JT being able to deal with Tito's power. He's going to need some kind of way to stop Tito from hitting him to prevent from being KO'd. Can he get on his bicycle and be elusive? I doubt it. Does he have great defense he can pull out of his ass? No. So I'm sure he'll be doing great early landing his jab at will until Tito uncorks a hook that totally turns the fight around.

 

The fact that this thread exist is testament to how overrated Jer-bum Taylor is. The guy gets 3-4 arguable gifts over decent fighters and all of a sudden he's Hall of Fame caliber.
