Science

First an foremost a "ROBBERY" is when one guy clearly dominates the majority of the rounds. The majority of Haney vs Lomachenko rounds could have possibly went either way. As a former boxer myself and an amateur judge, I watched rounds 4-12, evreybody would clearly agree Loma won 11 and 12 (he actually landed full arm extended puches that rock Haney's head back), I gave him I think round 6. Loma has a bad habit of landing 3 slaps (some call them flurries) and then being stagnant, everytime he got stagnant Haney recoverd those 3 slaps becaus he'd land 3 shots, although they werent combinations, they were 3 shots with his arm fully extended. I don't want get off topic but Loma landed alot of bullshit punches with nothing on them and thats why lost. If we're in the clinch and we back up and you land a quick 6 inch punch, some judges don't count it. LOMA has an AMATEUR style of boxing. I wouldn't mind seeing a rematch

I'm not saying that Holyfield could beat every heavyweight in a 1 on 1 matchup. I'd easily favor Lewis, the Klitchko's, Bowe, Fury over him because of size, but I'm talking sheer skill. Did Holyfield have the least amount of weaknesses of any heavyweight in history? Also Cris Byrd was very skilled too, he just punched like a super middleweight

Is Plant the best pure boxer Canelo has fought, aside from Mayweather?

Some MMA fighters are "strike" orientated, some are wrestle oriented, some are take you down and jiu-jitsu orientated. Belfort at his best was strike orientated. He would ran down punches on fighters. Probably had pound for pound the fastest hands in MMA history. That being said a guy like Holyfield with a great chin, great heart and great counter punching would beat Belfort in both of their primes in an MMA match. I could see Holyfield losing to a guy like Randy Couture if he doesn't land shots though.

Alot of people forget that Pacquiao recently lost to journeyman Jeff Horn From pure boxing science, why do you think Jeff Horn did such a good job against Pacquiao?

The "Mexican style" of fighting is simply take 3 shots to land 1, great cardio, good chin, wear down your opponent and finish strong. Julio Cesar Chavez who many people think is great (I think he's overrated) was notorious for that style. At lower weights against inferior competition it worked, but as he moved up in weight against "live" fighters, it didn't work so much. When De La Hoya came along, he was the first Mexican fighter up on his toes, moving, ducking shots and using a good jab. Was their another Mexican fighter who had defense prior to De La Hoya?

Different fighters peak at different times, Pacquiao like LENNOX LEWIS peaked later then most people. Pacquiao was in his 20's when he lost to Erik Morales, I can't imagine the same Pacquiao who edged Keith Thurman and beat Margarito to a pulp not knocking out Erik Morales and knocking him out early. Am I the only one who thinks that Pacquiao peaked late?

There's been several different athletes over the years who have been caught using PEDS and instead of stopping, they just SWITCHED to another drug which isn't detectable. Do you think Canelo is still juicing?

Is their another fighter who has fought more legends then Holyfield?

Canelo was busted for steroids, this isn't a rumor its a fact. (I knew he was juicing before he got busted and so did Golovkin). So back to the original topic, can a PED user really be P4P #1? Is it ethical in the sweet science? {"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","src":"https:\/\/www.thefightcity.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/canelo-questionable-44-620x416.png"}

Hasn't fought in 2021, fought once in 2020, once in 2019, once in 2016, didn't fight in 2015 (I thought he retired in 2015 until he came back and fought in 2016). What is it that makes him so inactive.

Here is a list of the guys Canelo will probably fight next. Juergen Braehmer Zach Parker John Ryder Fedor Chudniov Or do you think he may take a fight at middleweight and fight against.. Felix Cash Danny Dignum?

Looked like shit against Canelo too the point where I'm questioning was it a fixed fight. An older fighter with his biggest pay day, gets a little extra to take a dive against a younger fighter. Kovalev looked gun shy and slow against Canelo. Kovalev was busted for PEDS recently...should he just call it a day or make 1 more run at light-heavy or cruiserweight or something?

After Trinidad got caught with the illegal handwraps, he fought sparingly 4 more times. You could see that he didn't have the passion anymore. Do you think it was a coincidence that he didn't have the passion after being caught cheating or he accomplished everything he wanted by that point?

BJS fights similar to Calzaghe which made me think of this matchup. Who do you think wins if Canelo fought Calzaghe @ 68? I don't think Calzaghe has enough power to make Canelo respect him to win.

BJS slaps with this punches, and backs up all night even against less fighters. He's like a poor mans Lara. Caleb Plant is a better fighter. Alvarez stops BJS in 6-8 (if he runs good)

2 known drug cheats, will their be drug testing before the fight?

Joe Calzaghe is an interesting fighter, he threw alot of punches for a super middle/light heavyweight, but didn't have alot of pop on his shots. I always sit around and wonder who is most similar to Calzaghe and I can't really think of any Paul Williams must be the closet thing. I would have loved to see him fight Froch, or Andre Ward

If Golovkin/Canelo went for a triology, do you think Golovkin has a shot at beating him? If Canelo is going to fight the guys he's fighting, why not a triology? I just hope that Golovkin doesn't get popped for TRT and Canelo for steroids.

Paul Williams was 6'2 and threw the most punches per round in boxing when he fought. Stylistically he's hell of anybody at welterweight. Am I the only person who thought that had he and Mayweather fought he would have won? He also would have beaten Pacquiao easily

It seems like just yesterday Canelo was a teenager/early 20s and people were talking about him like he was a kid, I didn't even think about until the Smith fight, but he's now 30 years old. Hopefully he'll fight a real elite 160 or 168 pounder before its too late.

It's simple biology, most adult males aren't as small as the weight classes that Pacquiao held belts at. Meaning that TALENT POOL is wider/better in boxing for fighters in the weight classes between 147-175. For example if your a flyweight or bantamweight boxer, the talent pool you'll have to face is inferior to a guy who fights at light-middleweight. I call them the RUNT weight classes. Do you think Hearns winning the belt from 47-75 a bigger feat then Pacquiao winning the belt from 112-147?

I think a non-weight drained De La Hoya would have given Pacquiao fits. De La Hoya is a much better boxer then Margarito (Pacquiao's only 154 fight). Am I the only one who is in the opinion that De La Hoya and Pacquiao @ 154 AT THE TIME they fought would have been a great fight.

De La Hoya has been hinting at comebacks for 4 years. I think he started it when things turned sour between he and Canelo. Do you think he will actually comeback of is he just trolling? Also years ago I would have PREFERED to see him vs Pacquiao @ 155 catch weight then 147. Even before the fight DLH complained about how he hadn't been at 147 since he was like 26 and it was a struggle then, yet and still chasing the money he still fought Pacquiao weight drained, and looked like a zombie.

I just got finished reading a RING MAGAZINE article from a few years in degust, for several different reasons. One being how ring magazine and many boxing fans/journalist/critiques, disregard the EYE TEST. For example, this particular had Jack Dempsey as the 5th greatest heavyweight of all time :crazy: . Dempsey in his prime was 190 pounds, had no skill (neither did his opponents) and would get CRUSHED by an average amateur middleweight of today? I recall one idiot (FROM THIS MESSAGE BOARD) saying how fighters were so great back then "because they fought 30-40 rounds". The reason they were able to fight all those rounds was because they didn't do anything but circle each other and hold. If you fight 30 rounds in a Boxing match that means your not doing anything. Logic gets thrown out the window when it comes to old primitive boxers. Will people ever stop overrating old fighters from the past?

The last few years all of Jacobs fights have looked like glorified sparring matches. It seems he doesn't have a 2nd gear like he did when he fought Caleb Traux, Quillian and Sergio Mora. I'm not totally sure if its that, or he's WEIGHT DRAINED (a possibility), as he has talked about how hard it is to make 160 pounds. Sometimes when making weight is hard, your camp because a weight loss camp and not a fight camp and your drained and weak. I recall Erik Morales saying that all he ate was lettuce and tomatoes when he was trying to make 126 or 130. Is Danny Jacobs shot or does he need to move to 168?

What were some of Durans weaknesses?

Richardo Mayorga was homeless, addicted to drugs and alcohol and was beaten up by robbers earlier this year in Nicaragua, he was been in rehab for 2 months in Mexico now. https://www.boxing247.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/mayorga-ricardo.jpg

Hughie Fury, Tyson's Fury little known close cousin was popped for steroids a few years ago, I was just wondering if he was still banned?

I can't think of an elite champion in boxing history (maybe if you go back to like the 40s or 50s) who had a jab as **** and non-existed as Mosley. Can you name a former or current champ who's jab was worse?
