Its no longer surprising. We have Scott Belshaw too...
journeyman heavyweights with no weight limit maybe
world champion, even amatuer, welterweights is a different matter
valuev is a classic example
so little power 2 skull size/thickness ratio
calzaghe is a pretty poor example. firstly his chin wasnt that great and secondly his punch volume and accuracy made up for any perceived lack of one punch power
Punch power can be developed somewhat through training, teaching fighter to sit down on his punches etc, chin cannot be hardened
im probably in agreement with you
you cant put muscles on a chin
Calzaghe took big shots from Eubank and Bika. His chin is fine. His punch power decreased as his hands got ruined.
true. was probably a bit harsh on him to be honest. he had a good chin, that was rarely tested due to his skill. but he could be knocked down, even by digs that didnt really hurt him. more the shock factor rather than pain that got him caught. its true its very rare you saw him properly hurt though
basically, all the people around the world who speak english (yes that is the US national language) should show respect to the UK because youre all originally from here.
this means no disrespect at all to all you americans its just unbelievable at times the anti-uk shit on here. every white english speaking person on this planet should really take a step back and realise how lucky they are to originate from such a great country
as stated previously its not as if all these east europeans have come from nowhere. its just that until recently they werent allowed to fight professionally what with communism etc
all those east european shitholes have been producin tough motherfuckers since day one but its only recently theyve been allowed to compete for titles
thought it was blatently obvious myself
Sad that NOW you have to make it in one of your COLONIES, in order to be considered successful on a world-wide level.
couldnt give two fuuucks to be honest about it. the US is the worlds economic powerhouse thay=ts without doubt, and i like the country and the majority of the people as a whole to be honest, apart fromn your president lol
i just dont like anti-british yanks who have totally forgotten that they originate from our shores. all white people across the globe, unless they live in europe, need to remeber that theyre all european by heritage. really cant get my head around anti-european white yanks. you never hear of anti-african black people because they seem to have a more clearly defined sense of where theyre originally from
the more i see of him the more i like him. a realy nice lad. would be so easy for him to be a scumbag, he's from an area where people shoot each other over spilled drinks in pubs
lol it's hard to engage in any sort of discussion with someone after reading something like this. Well either way, you lose at life.
believe it or not mate most people dont know/care which cities are in which states in the us. in the scheme of things youre quite an insignificant country. a UK colony, like australia. every white american is an ancestral british citizen at the end of the day lol
id sell half my soul for hatton v mayweather tickets and flights/hotel etc
in the past probably the rumble in the jungle or thriller in manilla. any of the gatti v ward would be nice as would tszyu v hatton. would have loved to see john conteh too, liverpool hero
Have you sobered up??????
I dont feel like explaining it if you are just gonna forget it all 3 minutes later..:lol1:
yeah, ive got over me hangover, by drinkin steadily ha ha but promise to remeber anything you tell me
im really puzzled by all this stuff. what does it mean when people have bets with each other?
lol
just reading my drunken posts from last night. it's surprising how eloquent i was even after a 15 hour ale and bugle bender
stand by every word i said though. the us is a british colony and all you white yanks should remember that
im not gettin defensive. why should i be defensive? not knowing the exact population of a state in a random country thousands of miles away is hardly gonna bring shame on my family is it?
and yes ive had a fry up, bacon, sausage, beans, eggs, mushrooms, toast the fucking works and a can of heineken as a hair of the dog. goin the shop for a crate of beers in a minute to get me through the day
He's not an arrogant sob like Floyd,,,,but most Americans never heard of him
most americans have probably never heard of pbf though if youre bein honest. hatton is a national hero in england due to his down to earth self-depreciatory demeanor
Sugar Ray Robinson, Joe Louis, Floyd Mayweather, James Toney to name a few. You know.. just your average bums.
im talking about NOW
though i didnt realise they were all from the same state/city to be honest. where's michigan and what cities are in it?
and besides, without sounding racist, any white fighters ever come out of michigan? these are all historically african surely?
dude relax ,nobody wants beaf
i know, sorry lad
there just seems to be a hardcore of anti-uk on here and its gotta be stated that all you white americans are ancestral brits, aqs is every white english speakin person across the globe
thats why the us and uk are allies, cos were from the same fucking country. the same reason why australia's always on our side. i read somewhere that 25% of aussies have got scouse (liverpool) heritage. bless'em
If we're honest that's a pretty rare occurrence. Hatton has always been a scrapper though.
i thought he was from a rough area of manchester? like the shitholes of liverpool you can get shot by a 14 year old if you're unlucky
If it makes you better to feel that way, then by all means go ahead. But I'm American. Born and raised. I've never been to the UK and its not really too high on my list of vacation spots. No disrespect, but this is my home and I don't know my great, great grandfather and don't really care where he was from.
i agree totally. but you must agree that all this anti-uk shit that half the forum spouts is rididiculous whgen you consider most of you are originally from england
i dont mean this argument to be decisisive simply that most of you have got relatives over here. basically all us white english speaking crew are originally from the mother country and thats why there's such a bond. all the rednecks in your country would be fighting for the english football team if they wererent such ingrained yanks or living in council estates with the rest of all us scum lol
FUCK I CANT STAND MISINFORMATION
If you are going to talk... Get it fucking right .. There are way TOO many people walking around with the WRONG info.. and believeing it's FACT already
The 2006 population of California is 36,457,549
The 2006 Population of the UK is 60,587,000
You are ONLY off by about 25 million...
It's wrong.. and their way too many Idiots on this site who just belive the 1st thing they read..
i know i know
wrote most of this shit at the tail end of a bender waiting for the drugs to wear off to go to sleep, cant even remember writing it
fuckin chill out you uppity little cuunt
It's getting a bit like that nowadays. In Ricky's day it was still fisticuffs and maybe a beerglass if you were unlucky.
fuckin hell, my estates gone mad recently. 3 murders in the last 3 weeks, a 12 year old got shot in the face by mistake last week, the woman over the road from me had her house shot at (which hit her 7 year old kid in the knee) at in a case of mistaken identity last week and a 16 year olds from the bottom of my road just been convicted of killing his grandad and cuttin his head off cos he won £65,000 on the pools last year (tho he did beat him as a kid the cunt)
and me mum works in an offie and shes ben held up at gun/knifepoint 7 TIMES in the last year
i love and hate liverpool
Again, not to get into a debate with you, but most of the people who came from the UK did so because they didn't think it was so great.
i dont think the uk is so great at the moment. doesnt mean im not from the uk.
i did all the discovery of america in school and your ancesters were just escaping some particularly harsh times that the uk was goin thru at the time. you guys are all english ex-pats really and thats why our countries love each other so much which makes it all the more irriitating when i hear anti-uk shit on here
the only people who truly belong in the us are the indians. all you white crew are 2nd/3rd/4th/5th/6th/ generation english/europeans at the end of the day. my hometown of liverpool is supposed to be where half of all youre relatives first set sail for america years ago. all youre mythical figures - billy the kid, jesse james etc are all first/second generation irish/english
I read the BBC news at least once a week, and by god it's getting bad back in Manchester now. I left for Canada four years ago and it's like the world has gone mad sometimes.
liverpool and manchester are not nice places to be at the moment. kids with guns everywhere. a kid from my estate, about 17 and looks like billy elliot, has just been convicted of shootin and settin on fire the girlfriend of a lad who ran over his sister 12 YEARS AGO. revenge served cold
fella, you made my day with dj rap as your sig, you are the main man, how fit is she :-)
dj rap is fit as fuck
just listening to a rap and joe peng tape from dreamscape 21. my first ever rave. off my cake on numerous hallucinagenics in a 10,000 rave. school on the monday after was a freaky day believe ha ha!
am i missing something? why the fuck would ANY decent HW be afraid of rahman? exceptionally limited fighter with a decent dig even in his prime. vitali would have smashed hime everywhere. how can someone who had a fantastic toe to toe battle with lewis, one of the greats, be afraid of a journeyman like rahman? its not surprising someone his size gets injured so often to be honest, every one of his joints must take a fuckin hammering every time he works out
strange post to say the least
Most of the Soviet men back then were forced to go in the army/military, especially the bigger,stronger Soviets....Most Soviet men had no freedom back then....My dad was in the Soviet army during the Cold War]
why it makes me laugh when people say 'the HW division is shit now because the east europeans are dominating'
its the first fucking chance theyve had to dominate and theyve took over sraight away!!!!
