It would've been entertaining but for some reason
I have a sneaky feeling mayorga would've had this.
As someone pointed out, mayorga was more in his
Prime around that time! But a 50/50 brawl nevertheless!!
Rios-Alvarado II
Provodnikov-Alvarado
Cotto-Rodriguez
Berto-Soto-Karass
Figueroa-Arakawa
Golovkin-Macklin
Golvokin-Stevens
Matthysse-Peterson
Mares-Gonzalez
I could go on and on....
Some are FOTY's, some are brutal KO's. That's all that appears to casuals nowadays it seems. If he isn't into it after that, there's no hope.
I didn't realise rios - Alvarado was this year! Quality brawl!
Mares vs Gonzales was a blow out, don't think you can appreciate that fight without understanding mares was undefeated n the favourite!
He watched Peterson mathysse with me, he enjoyed that, trading punches, knockdowns n a knockout! What's not to like!
Good list by the way! I still need to watch provodnikov vs Alvarado, only seen the highlights!
nobodies mentioned corrales' cut against cassamoyor!
his gumshield broke and he ended up cuttin up his mouth! sumthin like that, i remember seeing the pic, it was nasty!
I'm talking about his past history. This bar room brawl may have been before his fight with Barrera. Sometimes, popularity makes one behave a little better.
tru, but everythin i heard about him is gud! never heard bad press
Pacquiao and tarver having their right hand do that much damage! i feel sorry for their next few oponents!
Forget abuot their left hands! their right is vicious!
yea they got amazing chins but are they good enuf for top 5??
cos i aint sure lol
i wanted to put castillio in, as hes never bin knocked down in his life, dats sum achievement!
Pacquiao aint no bully, the guy allows every1 and any1 to his training sessions, he takes autographs and pictures ALL day long. hes got an amazing rep with people.
Just cos he knocks people da fuk out in da ring, dnt mean hes like dat outside it!
Iv seen the fight, and im not jokin wen i say that everytime tarver came at him, roy jones absolutely shit it lol! he covered up with no intention to counter.
I liked his 4th n 5th round, but da rest of the fight he was just happy to not get hit, and at the end of the fight, which he knew he obviouisly lost, was smiling!!!!!
which boxer smiles after a boring fight which u lose! man castillio gave us a great fight with corales, was he happy??? lol
roy jones just wanted to go 12 rounds and not get knocked out!
i have to agree with the fact that boxers can do damage on the street, we know how to punch, so common sense tells u boxing helps u on the street.
but on the street there are no rules, it takes heart to stand up to a big hefty screamin thug and be in control of urself! if u get wa i mean.
in the streets its a totally diferent ball game. in a streetfight u need to be able to control ur adrenaline and be relaxed enough to punch properly, cos sum people will shit it and cover up, even tho they might have the power to knock sum1 da fuk out!
safe
Man i got sum abuse for mentioning samuel peter lol
but people sayin mike tyson i dnt agree (and im a MASSIVE fan of him) cos he used to knock people down with a volley of shots.
i think earnie shavers, naseem hamed and kostya tsyzu propa deserve a mention!
if u wana find fighters who havent done rong u can only realy pick young boxers with only a few fights to their name:
so,
amir khan
andre ward
audley harrison LOL
wel u get wa i mean, i cnt think of dat many young boxers who r definately guna make it! my minds gone blank
all u lot are thinkin to much into it-
a street fight is TOTALLY diferent to a fight in the boxing ring or with mma rules, in a street fight its whoever lands the first propa punch, and the person whos got the heart to throw that first punch will usualy win!
when u c these pussies on the street throw about a million punches, thats bullshit, that no street fight lol
a street fight is a spur of the moment thing and pure heart and instinct!
i dont like people who totally discredit tyson
i admit im a fan, but he truely was a great boxer and if it wasnt for his mental state he cudve belonged up their with ali robinsin. he is one level behind those 2legends!
after the sphinx fight, it went downhill, and even after dat he gave people trouble!
da sphinx fight and b4 is wa u shud judge tyson for- a fast hard hittting commited boxer! one of THE best!
safe
The old nicknames were the best cos dey were given to the boxer, not like now, where the boxer chooses his own nickname:
eg:
manassa mauler - jack dempsey
the brockton blockbuster - rocky marciano
etc etc
but a couple of my faves:
iron mike tyson
thomas hitman hearns
BUT my al time fave:
audley A-FORCE harrison LOLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!
u have to earn your nickname u cant make one up on your own cause once u do that u know your going to be sorry if theres nutin special about u to get 1 from some1
exactly!
dats y like i sed earlier da boxers back in ther day had propa nicknames, cos dey earnt dem, and da nicknames resembled dem!
safe
tyson as a commentatot wud b da best thing dats happened to him since da douglas fight!
hes got a lot of knowledge, he wud have a vast amount of info to offer as a commentator!
he'l give a good insight wen ppl fight, he'l b able to tell u strategies and he wont be afraid to speak da truth!
i know im up for him to become commentator!
karmazin is a very good fighter! hes avoided dats y people were so shocked dat he beat Ouma! i werent surprised, i thort Ouma was taking a risk takin on dat fight! Very lean and big for his weight and a sharp puncher!
Baldomir i aint gota clue! lets c if he can beat gatti and lets c wa he does from der!
all amateur boxers in uk wear 10oz gloves wen fightin!
vests r used to show to da judges who u r.
white part of da glove- so u can c if da fighter is landin with da knuckle part of da glove, helpful to da ref and judges!
