You're just a yank sticking up for your fellow countryman.
I'm done with you.
I'm not from America. I don't really care for Roy Jones and last I checked over the years you are from America. The Geoff gimmick is getting old, I much prefer the pervert version of Jack.
He was old by then.
Jones had 9 titles, he should have went over Germany to fight Darius for his WBO title because the fight meant to so much to him and the general boxing public. Outside of Germany, nobody knew Darius then.....and now.
Which is why RJJ could get by without fighting him.
Darius should have pushed the issue if he really wanted the fight by coming to America and taking a few contenders out. He should have did like Tarver and beat all the guys around him until Jones had no choice but to fight him.
"Roy Jones Jr. avoided Michalczewski like a plague."
-Bert Sugar
The same guy that Jones' B level comp beat with no problem. Jones returns in March last I heard.
I was mad at Mesi-Jirov. I hit the TV with a shoe. Jirov was so close to a KO in the last round that I was on the edge of my seat waiting for the ref to stop it.
If Marquez beat a bum......what do you call the guy who just boxed the piss out of Viloria. I saw people call Viloria the best Filipino fighter next to Pac Man. Now that was a real bum.
Gatti got leveled by DLH an A-class fighter
You can't count that. Everyone knew Gatti was going to get killed, he jumped from 135 to fight Oscar at 147. Oscar's last fight at 147. Oscar was a giant to Gatti, he was 155 on the night of the fight. I agree with Rick, Gatti is a great fighter but PBF is going to beat him very convincingly.
I rememeber a real funny one, but from Jim Lampley.
When Joe Mesi knocked out Dvarryl "Touch of Sleep" Williamson in minute or so.
Lampley says "well, Williamson got touched, and he slept"
I will await your first 1500 word piece for submission.
I love how some posters always bash writers, but cant write for shit themselves or have any knowledge of the sport. Damn good article with plenty of info I never knew about Mayweather or Judah.
Is this Camacho junior or something? Hector already admitted that he fell through the ceiling, cut himself, urinated inside the office and left with seven laptop computers and about $5,600 in checks and cash.
He offered over 5 grand in restitution. He still did the crime and just because he is a famous fighter does not mean he should get a slap on the wrist.
The point could have been made without all of the jokes. Hatton-Tszyu was not even close to an exciting fight. Tszyu landed less punches than Taylor or Hopkins in either bout. De La Hoya was blown up for Sturm, not Hopkins. Oscar = future hall of famer. Maussa=never to see the hall. Eastman was ducked for years by every middleweight, including Taylor. Hopkins dominates him and all of sudden the win is not impressive because an undefeated prospect stopped Eastman over a year later? That must mean Tszyu's win over Mitchell means less than shit. After Tszyu, he barely beat a C-Level Chris Smith and was dominated by Mayweather.
I ask, for a moment, that you forget the actual arguments or examinations made in this article, and direct you to what bothered me about this piece:
It should not have been printed again.
If you view the full text of the article and click on the author's name so as to view his past works, you see that this is supposedly an updated version of the piece that he did on Feb. 1 of 2005, nine months prior to this date.
The author notes next to his byline that this is an updated edition, but after doing a word by word, paragraph by paragraph review, I must say that this is truly false.
The only changes between this article and February's original is that edits were made to clear up the format, fix some sentence structures and correct spelling errors.
If this were to be an updated version, the author would need to take a new look, with new information, at the events and circumstances surrounding the 2004 fight between Lamon Brewster and Wladimir Klitschko. This did not occur.
Instead, we have an article that is not timely, taking a look at events from nineteen months ago, and is absolutely pointless in its foisting upon us in any setting beyond a bar-talk conversation, or in an article taking a larger look at the career of W. Klitschko.
I'm happy it was reprinted because I never got a chance to read it the first time and found it more interesting than half the garbage on the internet in the last couple of days.
