The following fighters had some great wins, some many. But .....
- Mark Breland (Just simply gave up)
- Razor Ruddock (Big guy with all the right skills, but would not commit himself to the game)
- Prince Hamed (I really despise this guy. He got caught-up in his own marketing hype, instead of building his skills and learning to take a punch, he preferred to flop around like a clown)
- Lennox Lewis (Always be remembered as the guy who didn't / couldn't give Klitchko the rematch that all boxing fans wanted)
Regarding Lennox - for Christ sake doesnt the guy deserve to go out when HE wants to? - rather than end up a punch drunk has been?
He took on and beat the best during his time - please stop beating up on the guy, as he always acted in a decent way out of the ring.
But then Lennox beating aint nothin new on here unfortunatly(much as i love the forums/site).
He doesn't rank. The guy has had 1 decent win and thatw as over a very vunerable champion in Spinks. Can you name me Zab Judah's second best win?...thats what I thought.
and no one on the planet who knows anything about boxing or is not taking money had Spinks top 5 p4p.
Agree 100%.
Must confess i saw the Herol Graham v Julian Jackson fight live - and it was sickening!. I love boxing but sometimes,in situations like that, you do question how the hell you can love something that involves such a vicous ko.
Herol was kicking the f*** out of him at the time too.....
Same here, he should have given Casamayor that 3rd fight. I've not liked him every since he felt it necessary to beat the hell out of his pregnant wife; and the fact that he tried to justify it at all makes me sick ("she played her part in it too"..or something like that. Pardon me, but she's not a trained professional in the art of asswhipping!)
I 100% agree that those are disgusting actions - however I have NEVER read anything on these forums about Tyson's "issues".
Hagler won IMO - The agressor issue being the defining factor.
Leanard's punch's were like his career, all show and no substance. Then again i do hate him so im a tad biased :)
Agree-he should have had a round or two of "bombing", kinda of like Juan Roldan - sorta difficukt to fight against i spose?
Lets face it it couldnt have been any worse!
if hatton even thinks of fighting maussa, many will lose respect for him......
although i did predict that he would continue fighting lower tier fighters after his tszyu fluke.....
i just hope he doesn't do this.......and everyone in the U.S would lose respect for him too...
Sounds like most of you dont have any respect for him anyway!
Out of interest, how was the KT fight a fluke?
JT has tremendous fighting ability - but his lack of class means I ,for one, will never be cheering him on.
Kinda makes me "like" John Louise...ok maybe not.
Sounds like an awesome fight-even though im reading the RBR coverage(and its the middle of the night).
My man chico is a warrior(in fairness so is JLC)
Holy is the most overated fighter of the past 40 years IMO - He beat Bowe once,A shot Tyson Twice - woopee doo.
We are talking the G.O.A.T here - against a blown up light heavy, with ZERO KO power.
Ali KO 8-10 rounds (Pre68) ALi UD post 70.
Just my opinion of course.
How did he TKO Hearns if he "runs" the whole fight? What about Benitez? It's called movement. You circle your oponent with footspeed so they can't get set in an offensive stance. Ali used it, so did Leonard.
Leonard was too big, srong, fast and skilled for Pryor at welterweight. Sugar Ray whould've controlled almost the entire fight to win a 15 round decision. It whould've been a great fight but one fighter whould've been clearing winning, and that fighter whould've been Leonard.
He had no option but to chase Tommy - as he was clearly behind on all the scorecards.
AND yes he ALWAYS ran - like the pussy he was.
Gloves, Cut , Headbutt blah blah blah.
EM won fair and square (relatively convincingly - when you bear in mind he "played" in the last) - Give EM the credit.
Props to Pac tho as well - he just lost to a better fighter.
I agree 100% - In addition how can Barrera be above Pac?
And why isnt Morales higher - I think it gets real difficult when fighters lose to another fighter, but are clearly the better fighter(in the big scheme of things). Thats why MAB/Morales/Pac/JMM are difficult to rank in a particular order - IMO Erik is the best of the four - but we know what the score was with the MAB trilogy so......
Also having seen the EM/Pac fight last night (uk) Manny did seem very one dimentional, and seemed like a small version of Matt Skelton!(In respect of losing his balance all the time, obviosuly Manny is a FAR better p4p fighter).
LOL - Never seen Ruiz fight(i live in the uk - with little decent boxing coverage), but as he is a pain in the ass of the boxing world perhaps anal herpes would be a fitting end to his career.......
Due to the manner of the first fight(with MAB) i cant see any way that PAC will lose to him.
On to JMM -i cant see any way that Pac can WIN that fight.......
It's just a lot more impressive for me when a boxer moves up through weight classes and dominates as opposed to staying the same place forever, plus erik always fights the best, bernard has fought mostly b and c level competition his whole career with the exception of a few fights.
Agree with you 100% bro.
I just hope that there is a clear winner - no controvasy BS.
What a fight its gonna be!.
Im in the Uk and DESPERATE to watch the fight live - anyone have a feed?(Or a site where i can PAY for access to the fight live)?
I am DESPERATE to see the fight live - anyone know of a cable provider or stream that will enable me to watch live from the uk?. I dont care if its free or not - i want the fight.
Jeez this thread is a joke right?
This fight is in no way over-hyped, two warriors going at it in an evenly matched fight.
Any TRUE boxing fan would pay 45 bucks for that surely?
