1) Steward saying Salita should learn to fight tall, ok maybe, but according to Manny EVERYONE should fight tall.
2) Kellerman said take two fighters
One from the midwest
One from NYC
one should expect the NY guy to do better against similar opposition.
WTF seriously? Off the top of my head going back in time... Floyd Mayweather Jr, James Toney, Ray Robinson, Ezzard Charles are all from the midwest (Michigan) + Kronk Gym... Why is that guy allowed to talk?
saying that Michigan is in the midwest is kind of a stretch. its in the Eastern half of the United States.
when people say midwest America, Im thinking Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas, Nebraska...
ok point taken (lived here only for 4 years)
that sounded too dumb to be true...
One area of a Country (or in this case continent) being genetically better than another.
man he wasnt talking about genetics...
it's the boxing environment, he was talking about gyms.
In general different places present different qualities of fighters
let's face it poor ppl who live in an area where boxing can be their best bet in life will produce a lot of good fighters.
that's why you see eastern europe rampaging now. Lots of poor ppl and big amateur background.
Western europe, we live well... why bother?
EDITED

As I sidenote I meant the title of the thread to be
"HBO are being ridiculous again", but I forgot the again.
Key point as Brooklynbomber and Bringer pointed out
Why? I agree. guys who have only fought in say Kansas and are undefeated are probebly going to be worse than someone who is undefeated and has fought in New York.
Michigan is very northern. when he said Midwest, he probebly was thinking, you know, the middle of the countryish.
Manny would probebly think that Dwight Muhammed Qawi should have fought tall. hes just obsessed with the idea, but its worked for him in the past.
not a big deal.
So the HBO commentary crew is running wild like a bunch of clueless jackoffs?
What else is new?
You are right, it's just I am working on something and left the commentary on and they are soooo pissing me off even tho I am not paying attenrion
