adamek 10 rounds mercy stoppage nothing devastating
arreola 10 round corner mercy stoppage, kept hitting him and nothing happened
sam peter 8 round corner mercy stoppag, kept hitting him and nothing happened
corrie sanders 8 rounds still standing just exhausted
this makes him one of the hardest punchers ever
oh wait found it a 2 round ko over cruiserweight herbie hide. proof the man could punch.
you also forgot his KO of danny "i do funny dances and get knocked out in all my fights" williams
tyson was able to neutralize his reach like nothing. i respect mma fighters but they wouldnt last longer than a minute in a boxing ring. just ask ray sefo and tim sylvia

tyson alone would clean out the entire NFL/NBA roster by himself. im talking tyson NOW, let alone prime/active mike.
lennox would do the same. how is this even a discussion? i agree that NFL/NBA players are elite athletes (some of them) and that size matters to an extent, but we are talking about lennox lewis and mike ****in tyson here, not uchiyama. all it would take is 1 punch, even if it doesnt land completely flush and even if its to the body and the NBA/NFL players would get dropped. tyson would shatter a lot of those glass chins with just jabs alone.
if they decided to throw a punch back i have no doubt in my mind the world class heavy weight boxer would eat the punch quite easily. dont forget, aside from being conditioned their life to THROW punches, they have also done thousands of rounds of sparring/fighting throughout their career and are conditioned to TAKE a punch as well. the NFL/NBA roster would only piss them off. the fight wouldnt last long at all.
arturo gatti beat the **** out of a average joe who was much bigger than him. well when it comes to fighting, nba/nfl players are just big average joes. tyson and lennox would decimate everyone.
He'd be d@mn good at it. No one can slip punches and has the balls to stay in the pocket like this mofo
i agree. i would imagine some people would be scared ****less staring at james toney across from them about to engage in a bare knuckle fight. the mother****er has a granite chin and is 1 of the best technicians ever. he has power too. he would probably go 100-0 in that "sport". hes a TRUE fighter too, and has balls of steel. i just think it would be very tragic to see him end up there
The guy is long gone. He is losing to sub par opponents and can barley talk properly, iv even seen him dribble in interviews. Needs to hang them up ASAP
exactly my point, but knowing toney he probably still has the desire to fight. problem is getting sanctioned will become more difficult in the future. hence, underground bkb
This might sound like hyperbole, but imagine a guy that was more devastating than Tyson, IMO, that also had an elite gas tank, and never faded, all while keeping the same punch output, and elite durability. That's who Ike was.
its as if the universe/nature doesnt allow one fighter to ever have it ALL
a fighter can have almost everything, but the law of nature always keeps him from having it all. if a boxer has speed, power and skills, he might have a glass jaw. if he has an iron chin, speed, skills, he might have pillow punching power.
no 1 single fighter has EVERY attribute. but ike was one of those guys who may have slipped through the cracks. he seemingly had EVERY attribute. but then again, maybe it was his mind which was his flaw. so in the end the universe balanced itself out as usual.
gerald mclellan was another boxer who seemed to have it all. skills, ATG power, and an iron chin. the universe always finds a way to balance itself out though as we all know how he ended up...
emanuel steward once said that gerald mclellan had the best chin he had ever seen. i read it in an interview from him.
he said that g-man and tommy hearns were sparring and at one point tommy hearns hit g-man with a flush straight right and g-man simply walked through it. i dont think they were wearing headgear either
I think chris will clearly outbox pac.
Height reach boxing abilit nice jab and strong long legs.
I got chris clearly 8-4
i agree. i wanna lay down some huge cash on chris. anybody who knows boxing knows this is an easy win for him. the only thing thats preventing me from doing it is possible corruption. whether he gets the official nod or not though, chris is easily beating pac. im being 100% serious too
Yes I was also surprised by the crowd last night, but I that it was a parallel to the excitement of the fight. Why do you think guys like Froch get great crowds and guys like Ward don't? Because people like to see an exciting fight. It's not unusual for a crowd to turn on its fighter if the fight is too boring. Both guys put on a show and Omaha's fighter got the KO so the crowd is meant to go crazy.
its like the old adage "what came first, the chicken or the egg?"
on one hand you could say that the crowd was excited and live because the action inside the ring was exciting and live.
but then i could argue and say that the action inside the ring was exciting and live because the crowd being exciting and live invigorated both fighters and brought out the best in them.
i wish more people understood this concept. its one thing that bothers me about boxing lol. it might be why wlad fights are usually boring, because the crowd is boring as well and it doesnt spark a passion inside the fighters.
its an interesting theory, but ill tell you this. one thing is for certain and thats whenever there is a live crowd, there is a live fight that night as well. everybody feeds off each others energy.
sucks that nobody gives a ****. but when floyd is on TMZ for going on a 50k shopping spree or al haymon is caught with trannies, the threads do 30 pages.
paul is/was a warrior and im sad hes in his current state. his outlook is very positive.
This is a bettors dream! Only hardcores know who chris is and his style nightmare for Pac. I'm jumping on this next time I go to vegas in a week or so hopefully I will drop a cool grand on Chris. I've gambled more than that on slots and the tables.
I LOVE IT! I'm putting some money on Algieri this is easy money right here. :biggthump
hahah real talk my man! :boxing:
im putting $1000 on algieri and will be a happy man when i make 14k that evening. this is a bettors dream sort of like hopkins/pavlik was. only true boxing fans can see these opportunities when they come around. pac will get SMOKED in this fight. the only way he wins is with a robbery which im kind of afraid of since they might wanna put him and floyd together. algieri dominates him.
I think Tim Lane got left in China, Algieri did a sneaky and turned off Tim's alarm clock so he missed his fight. He better learn the language soon, he's gonna have to be training guys out there now. He's gotta make some money and get shelter too.
no problem, he's right where he wants to be.
I won't be playing because it's too hard. I often bet on boxing. I have never heard of anyone picking 50 winners in a row. That would be almost impossible to do.
exactly. this is almost impossible
who cares what arum says?
and even if its true all it means is that manny is OFF roids now. but that doesnt change the fact he was on them back when floyd was calling him out and despicably and cowardly ducked the tests for 1.5 years...
what now pactards?
