By far the best i ever saw was Sergio Martinez against Dzinziruk.
Dzinziruk was considered to have one of the best jabs and one of the highest uses of it. I remember pre figt the hbo guys were hyping it up and windering how martinez was going to deal with it.
But from very early on, martinez started moving his head up and down vertically, completely nullifying that jab.
Martinez outlanded dzinziruks jab by an embarassing amount.
All of these are awesome! Great thread, getting super pumped now.
One of my favourites because of it's unexpected nature would have to be Martinez Williams and it's sequel. Christmas specials!
You forgot the stat about amount of entertaining fights... 0
And illegal moves... Elbows, excessive clinching, ducking below the waist, punching in the grab... But sure lets pretend thats 'boxing'.
well isnt it amazing then out of 5 divisions he was lineal in 4? still would make him a 4 divisions champion
Nope.
Plus more weight classes = more champs.
Marciano was really a LHW. By todays standards he fought 4 weightclasses... LHW, Cruiser, HW, and super HW.
Mayweather has a pretty long reach compared to his height, as does Broner. Paul Williams isn't particularly short but he has really long arms, hes pretty much an albatross lol.
Yes williams a massive reach. I think one of the longest in all boxing even up to hw?
Just what I was going to say.
Now I'm not sure what the average reach for a man who is 5'8'' should be but Mayweather has 72" and he always looks like he has long arms. It helps him fire that right hand in and keep his jab poking out. At 5'8'', Mayweather fights like someone who is much taller.
Average armspan or reach is equal height.
If you take an average reach in inches and convert it to feet you'll see its usually the same as the height.
Thats what DaVinci's Man in Square and Circle, or Virtruvian Man, shows.
No but there definitely needs to be better balanced judging between aggressor and defenser.
Because ineffective aggression is more visible than ineffective defense.
I dont think Floyd did well against manny because mannys defense matched floyds or even outperformed and he was also better aggressor.
But most people couldnt see that floyds defense game wasnt working out,
Fing joke post. How can fans give a **** about what a fighter earns is beyond me. Real fans just wanna see the best go at it.
Floyd could make 300 mill fighting pac so he needs to fight at least 10 ppl i call that the best duck in history. Lose out on 300M just to duck someone ahaha what a loser.
U a nut for even mentioning floyd in the same phrase as ali. Get reeal ppl!
That would be the most epic snoozefest of all time
LOL.... Yeah if one of them pulls put they can always have rigo as a back up.... Haha... Championship heavy-snooze belt
Manny actually has a pretty good deal not for nothing. Guaranteed $20mil per fight with ppv upside. Second biggest guarantee after Floyd. Not to mention the man has 5 losses on his record. If Floyd had 5 losses he wouldn't even be televised on ESPN let alone ppv..
The truth right there.
Another 'im bigger than the sport' stunt by may. Ringsize, drug testing, gloves, training locations, promoter types.
What a loser.
I would also be undefeated if i made up bs rules about fighting 'ur not allowed to attack me'
Floyd, its this way or the highway. You're fights are boring you dont have that much power. One loss and u will be fighting on friday night undercards.
Clearly Garcia is **** scared of letting Maidana wear a pair of gloves that arent a specific model and brand and is ready to bail on the fight..If a specific pair of gloves makes the boxer who he is, then he needs to call it a day
Khan who is a real mans man and doesnt care about gloves brand, will more than likely fight Floyd, wearing Grants, Everlasts, pillows, or whatever Floyd chooses...we know Khan isnt petty and he'll give Floyd a better fight than the midget peanut head
Maidana go home, and let a real man take ur place
Garcia is so petty, jesus stop being a ***** and just fight, or let King Khan take ur fighters place and show u how not to act like a lil *****
I think you're the wrong sperm that some how found the egg. Clearly derranged or paid by khan.
Noone is 100 percent when they fight, alot of fighters deal with injuries, if martinez was so injured he shouldnt of got in there....he was still the heavy favourate going in to the fight and cotto shocked the world and made history, deal with it!
If your're soo stupid dont make threads like this in here...
Maidana beat Matthysse 3 times in the amateurs. They've both dropped each other in those matches and sparring. But I think Matthysse's improved the most.
Wow i had no idea!
what do people believe is the main reason pbf has high ppv numbers ? i maintain that its because a large part of the buyers do not like him and pay to see him get beat !!! in fact that a good a##whipping thats the only reason i would buy his fights , although after the ortiz joke i wouldnt pay again for anything he does.
Actually Pac has the most viewers. Look it up.
Floyds fight usually sell for more though cos he rips people off n doesnt care about boxing fans.
