honestly, I've read the dumbest sh1t on here. Casuals have very basic opinions, "this guy could beat that guy," it's nothing crazy tho and you can tell it doesn't consume their life. On here we have fl0mos that support 7 minute videos about the strangeness of Pacquiao's glvoe in the Shane Mosley fight...I'm just saying, when it comes to dumb sh1t, the "hardcore" crowd has taken that torch far and away.
I was also told once that Lennox Lewis was awful and nowhere near the top 10 heavyweights
also a very common one that Tyson would kill Lennox in his prime.
I find the excuses about Tyson's 'prime' one of the funniest in boxing. According to casuals Tyson's prime lasted 5 years from his debut & surprisingly ended when he fought guys who had some talent or weren't terrified of him ala Michael Spinks.
I'm not ripping on Tyson by the way, he was deadly but wasn't the best ever and struggled with top guys. The notion that he'd beat any heavyweight in history in his prime is widely spread idiocy among casuals.
Tyson's prime didn't last long because of his wild lifestyle - not training right and getting into booze and cocaine - so there is actually some truth in the bolded.
Probably the other day on facebook when some guy who looked like he'd never left his house before twas saying that Mcgregor would probably beat floyd because Floyd retired and won't be as good etc. argument went on for hours and he ended up saying how the dollar used to be worth 5-10x what the pound was worth a few years ago, dude was retarded. He was so stupid he didn't know he was stupid.
Ask him for his boxingscene account name.. for sure he might have an account here.. there aren't many deluded people in the world and half of those bunch should be on here somewhere..
"...Joshua's not on drugs. Look, compare his body to that of another natural athlete..." "...with hard work, a body like that is possible."
:?!:
No testing for roids back then = Nobody was on roids back then. :rofl:
A guy I know said that George Foreman was really hard to get a clean shot on.
Getting a clean shot on anybody while lying on the floor unconcious is not easy.

There's a name for that: the Dunning-Kruger Effect
Before Kirkland vs. Canelo I heard some people say Kirkland was going to run from Canelo & try to be defensive. Lol! Im assuming its because hes black & its assumed hed be slick.
Lol .. yeah, that is dumb!
I heard something almost as dumb as that from a workmate before Tyson Fury challenged Wlad for his world titles. This guy said that Wlad wasn't the real HW champion, and I assumed he was going to tell me that Deontay Wilder was the real champ.
But when I asked him if he was talking about Wilder, he looked blank for a second, then said, "Deontay Wilder? .. Is that his name? ... The American guy who knocked out Lennox Lewis?"
It turned out the name he was looking for was Shannon fucking Briggs!
sure you arnt the casual???
I just had a discussion with someone about that and they truly believe that Conor beats up Floyd based off of him out boxing MMA fighters........ **** im gonna win so much money. :biggthump
amen...they would sell so much with this mismatch..i had a guy arguing with me to..i was crying laughing and have a bet waiting..
Lol .. yeah, that is dumb!
