why do people keep bringing up tyson. the man is done. he lost to danny williams and quit on mcbride. give up your hopes of seeing tyson victorious in any fight because it won't happen.
its more humiliating to get beat down by a bunch of punches, because it shows you were the inferior fighter. a better fighter can make one mistake and get ko'd by a big puncher, but lose in the rematch. if you get beat down, then it proves you are inferior. we know floyd is better than gatti because he beat him down in every round. however, when rahman ko'd lewis, everyone knew who was better, and lewis proved it in the rematch
i couldn't have said it any better.
here's a full body pic i found.

R.I.P. chico. he had the biggest heart of any fighter I've ever seen. I only got to see him fight live once, and its a shame i can never see him fight again.
This just in:
Most of the punches that resulted in Wlad falling........WERE ILLEGAL. They hit him on the back of the head, and that causes you to lose equilibrium. Oh yeah.....and `1 punch knockout power is concerned...Peter is a harder puncher than Castillo.
JLC is not a big puncher. He normally wears down his opponents.....oh yeah....and Wlad survived.
Chico got knocked the fuck out with a left hook.
how did wlad do against a man by the name of corrie sanders. that fight didnt last to long no did it
Thanks for confirming to BS Forums that Hatton really did whoop Collazos ass!
Anyone else see that Collazo was actually intiating more clinches than Hatton rounds 1-11? Im talking about the actual fight, not just these clips.
People have excusses for everything, Hatton beat Collazo fair and square.
u must be smoking rocks buddy. Collazo put a hurting on Hatton's face. And dont give me that bullshit that he swells easy. He got hit clean and hard.
And i think u mean Hatton squeaked by with this win. he did, by no means win this fight FAIR n square.
Hatton will not be a "crowd pleaser" if he fights the way he fought tonight, Holding, holding and hitting, pushing then punching.... wow what an ugly fighting style.
Hatton makes boxing look ugly, send him back across the water...
Word. His style is ugly as fuck. Punch and grab. thats it.
He looked horrible in the fight, and i believe he lost.i dont care what the judges say, or the ball kissers.
Sometime boxing pisses me off with these bullshit decisions. :rolleyes:
its called strategy
its a strategy that won't win him a lot of american fans. don't get me wrong i think he won the fight but it was close and he didn't impress me as much as the hype was around him before the fight.
Hopkins wont win anymore fights... At 41 or 42 he done for. Tarver wins a 12 UD. I hate to see tarver win but he will.
I thought he said he was going up to heavyweight? i hope he does and som1 cleans him out. ( like James Toney)
i would have to agree. at 42 years old and gaining 15 pounds, it just doesn't look good for bhop although i will be pulling for him.
A lot of people cite that as a reason the punch had such an efffect. But, that makes no sense to me...
Hopkins' punch did not sink into Oscar. It did not shift anything inside of Oscar. There was no evidence of any heft on that punch whatsoever...so I don't see where the size advantage mattered.
the size advantage is that oscar is not used to being hit by a middle wieght. and that wasn't my main arguement. my main argument was that he wasnt expecting it and didnt see it coming, thus he did not prepare for it and thus it hurt like hell.
You ever been hit with a solid left hook to the liver when you weren't expecting it?
exactly. it doesn't matter if it was the cleanest hook to the body, if your not expecting it you will go down. also dlh is a natural lightweight going against a natural middle weight, hopkins didnt have to land the cleanest shot to deliver a lot of power.
