Wow nice those are Ali and Louis right?

how much do you charge for your work?
And maybe you can do a fantasy art. Charley Burley vs. Holman Williams
thought about it. and i've never done commissions so i wouldnt know what to ask for.
At light weight duran deals with whitaker. for one reason and one reason alone, Pea couldt keep Duran off him.
speed is even, power is lopsidedly in Durans favor, strength in Durans favor, skill...yes..in Durans favor. Ring savvy and defense go to Whitaker. Being a southpaw is a plus too.
Duran comes at you for 15 rounds he'd catch Pea and that would be it. i mean look at the fight FW Nelson gave Pea.
whitaker giving Prime Oscar a close fight doesnt mean anything, The Duran before no mas smashes De La Hoya.
But duran looked so good in montreal because SRL decided not to box and stand and trade,, much like bradley did with ruslan,,,,
pernell and floyd would not stand and trade with duran and would box him
Leonard was a 5'10 1/2 full fledged welterweight, one of the best ever. Yeah he traded with Duran. Whitaker couldnt hold SRL's jockstrap at WW.
Nobody is denying Pea has skills, but once Duran lands its over. Pea is a lightweight and not even big in that weight class.
Do you mean the Azumah Nelson fight? What about it? It was a pretty one-sided affair.
it was a one sided pts decision. But Nelson landed some dirty body shots and walked him down, wasnt ever hurt. Put up a good fight. It was a decent fight actually.
My point is he struggled to keep a featherweight off of him. I even look at the Chavez fight as razor close, often hyped as a robbery but very close and competitive.
They are both really good athletes, pac is a more explosive guy but Floyds def more technical and well balanced. noone at WW really says Floyd was too fast, more like Floyd was to slick, to hard to hit. Everyone seems to rave about Manny's speed though.
David Diaz, ODLH and Rios all seemed to rave about Pac's speed.
Power = same
Speed = same
Footwork = Floyd
Activity/punch rate = Bradley
Defense = Floyd
Heart = Bradley
Stamina = Bradley
Chin = Bradley
Style = Bradley (awkward and effective against boxers)
Grit/Will/Determination = Bradley
Confidence = Floyd
Money = Floyd
Age = Bradley
Experience = Floyd
Physique/Strength = Bradley
Weight day of fight = ? (Floyd doesn't allow himself to be weighed at fight night, WHY???)
I don't really understand why Bradley would think of himself undeserving of #1P4P status if ever he beats Pac officially even without fighting Floyd.
Floyd is stronger than Bradley. Pac was tossin him around too. the speed isnt the same either. floyd is still quicker and razor accurate
I think Floyd is physically stronger (different from punching power). More coordinated, better defense, much better upper body movement, and is the smarter fighter.
Floyd, SD.
floyds a bit more agile being a natural LW - Jr ww at best. Leonard is bigger, stronger, more natural at the weight 147+.
floyd fights a safety first fight, Leonard looks to do damage. both are hard to hit.
very close fight, but Leonard is no Canelo. I'd still have to go with SRL because Floyd struggled hard with Canelo.
Pacquiao counter punches a hell of a lot more now, and his right hook he throws with better technique. He used to sort of just whip his right not completely put his body with it.
The rest is the fact that he's kept his speed for the most part, and WW's can't really fight at a FW pace that he fights at.
He was always good, just at Fw he fought great fighters. Barrera and morales were great fighters.
people forget that Pacquiao had a marvin hagler type career, he didn't get short cuts. He messed everyone up in asia and caught roaches attention, and from then on he just got better.
@1:45 Just amazing. Manny is a focking god. These two are training so hard and getting ready for war. This fight is going to be crazy. I can't wait for this epic fight and the 24/7!!
moving the heavybag don't mean ****. thats what amatuers do when they start in the gym. Power is disperced in the bag. look when tyson hit it. If anything it should leave a dent.
Its a punch not a push.
That said, Pac hits like a beast non the less.
There's been a lot of debate about the result of Mayweather/Ortiz. How do you view the final blows and why? Poll to follow, please discuss! :boxing::boxing:
It was mostly that he looked away and sort of relaxed his body when Floyd hit him with the right. the left he would have been fine from.
This thread is about the fourth round. Not the first or the 2nd or the third. " the fourth round."
****Time 2:00 victor flurries and hits floyd with a barrage of punches to floyd's face. 2:16 floyd shakes his head to say I'm good but you got me there boy. Happened all when he was trapped on the ropes. SWEET! ****
*** time 2:19 vicious punch 2:25, 2:26 all good lethal shots. Clean crisp. Got to love it. 2:41, 2:43 mark ,right on the money.
And if you noticed Floyd hitting victor's gloves most of the fourth. Victors high guard frustrated floyd. Victor was clearly winning that round before he turned into a pitbull and head butted lol
Just saying 4th was definitely an ortiz round, and the tide was clearly shifting if only victor kept his composure we would have gotten a good fight.
It's called temperament. Like a pitbull who lost a leash he goes deranged and attacks. Victor's old trainer said he is weak minded. He loses control. He was like a nasty dog who got his leash removed and went nuts in the ring.
It's like a dog. His kind of breed is unstable and has the tendency to bite or go nasty. Like tyson was. He gets crazy when frustrated, hence the balrog head butt. But if he was stable and in control of his head he would realize he was winning the fourth round. It's all in the breeding. Some are stallions some are crazy mutts.
We could have had a good match here. It was shaping up to be an interesting fight until floyd cheap shoted his way to victory.
#####If it was the pacman (the p4p champ) doing that flurry it's academic pac will finish him good for sure. Ain't rocket science. Simple really a "B" class fighter like ortiz got floyd good at the ropes what more if pac was doing it. If it makes sense it must be true.#######
it was Floyds round untill victor cracked him proper with that last right hook. Ortiz defense was looking good too. Floyd never really hit him flush accept once but it didn't seem to hurt him like Ortiz hurt him.
man lives off of a bum ass pension from the wba and has to get support from those guys....how much money does his"fans"send him???how much have you giving him???man has permanant damages from boxing..self preservation would have allowed him to enjoy the rest of his damn life
well you are getting robbed everytime you buy a floyd ppv. he's not fighting anyone whos a threat. I don't know why you support him fighting overmatched oponents.
"self preservation" thats pretty much based on his style anyways. He had to fight threats to get to the top, just now that hes there he's not letting anyone good threaten him.
Mosley one is freaking hilarious and right on point lmao.
some of them are good, he didn't know what he was doing with Whitaker and Pacquiao though. Even SRL wasn't really on point. Ali was good if he got the feet down properly. Ali used to dance he didn't hop around.
well if he did it right now it would certainly be a beefy resume. Don't wait till Pacquiao's legs go, decision him then act like your the greatest. This fight could have happened last year.
May would probably beat Khan by KO and edge a decision against Martinez though.
Pacquiao might be younger than Mayweather but his style requires more physical talent. Floyd, like Hopkins can probably be competative into his 40's.
Before we start discussing this sensitive topic I ask for everyone to put in their effort in keeping things respectful and on a mature discussing level. Thank you. It could end up being a very interesting discussion if we approach it in a mature manner.
It's nothing new in sports yet like in the military, it's the sort of thing you don't ask, don't tell. A topic our society keeps as something prohibited and something that if you do come out an admit - it is seen as this big scandalous and controversial act.
Homosexuality is still kind of a forbidden topic when it comes to sports. It's something that is still kept secret and hidden by many. Homosexuality in sports is not seen as something normal by fans, it is not accepted by the community of fans or our society.
It is an interesting topic that many don't dare to touch on or discuss but it is present.
We've seen a FEW CASES of gay athletes coming out of the closet and revealing their sexuality.
Here's a list of gay athletes:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lesbian,_gay,_bisexual,_and_transgender_sportspeople
Now as you can see there are only two boxers mentioned on that list:
Mark Deluc
Emile Griffith (Not mentioned in the list but I remember him coming out in a book)
Lisa-Marie Vizaniari
Now, these are athletes who've had the bravery of coming out and exposing their sexuality to the world.
And now, my questions are as follow...
- Do you think we have gay boxers amongst the sport today that have not come out and are probably engaged/married to females?
- If you had to guess, which boxers would you be suspicious of and wouldn't be surprised if they admitted they were homosexual?
- Also, what is your stance on homosexuality in sports and are you okay with it?
- Would you stop supporting your favorite boxer if he said he was gay?
Discussion is now open.
i don't want to know if someone is gay or not. Let them keep it to themselves. They don't need to shove it in everyones ****ing face that they are gay. no one would hate on them if somebody found out. but keep it out of boxing. Just like how i don't care if Pacquiao cheats on his wife or whatever, thats his business. I'm sick of homosexuality being brought up as some big issue. I don't give a **** about it, this is boxing.
all the Mcclellan fans..how much have you sent him???do you send any damn letters asking how is he???what about the Wilfred fans??the ones he "entertained"do ya'll help with any of his damn bills now that he's unable to make any money?
you are right but why the hell are you supporting him for having a legit excuse to be a coward? he's wasting your money and doesnt give a **** about you.
I wish he had a warriors mentality then the rest of the world would pay to see him win not lose. Once he loses nobody will give a flying **** about him thats the problem.
Exactly and boxing is an anaerobic sport.
Yet they still become gassed at the end of 4 rounds.
No, their legs are just comically small. Boxing is the only modern sport that is so behind in training and nutrition and it has always bothered me to no end.
Most boxers clearly lack lower body strength and punching is a complex movement which involves the lower body, core, and upper body. So if the legs are as incredibly under developed as they are for most boxers serious power will be lost in the movement.
**** off pussy. The times are changing old school boxing is just that... old school. Running 7 miles then eating a steak dinner isnt the routine of a champion anymore. We are smarter then that.
Educate yourself:

Running 7 miles at a jog is an aerobic exercise. Throwing a flurry in boxing is anaerobic. By only running for conditioning it is not gonna effectively prepare you for a fight.
the anaerobic part is the sparring. the running is to help them (and the legs) in the later rounds. Thats why it doesn't help amatuers enough.
Boxing is not behind in training, all the top boxers have excellent training camps and i can't think of a single athlete in the world with better conditioning than Pacquiao or Mayweather.
In football you see them out of breath, same with basketball. MMA is probably the worst since most of them are just weight lifters.
there are plenty of boxers with big legs too. Having weak legs will sap your stamina. that said the only reason i can think is making weight.
my coach always had me doing leg workouts. Burpees, running, skipping etc.
I agree though entensive leg workouts help a lot with boxing, I think Pacquiao is making his point.
ali naturally had big legs, so all the skipping (he used to skip for up to half an hour sometimes) and running, burpees...just made his legs stronger.
I find if you naturaly have slim legs, you should work on them a bit, it will improve your stamina and mobility.
you guys are forgetting toneys age and how he looked in his last fight. Sure he's in shape now, I wouldn't bet on this one. But Lebadev isn't really that good either tbh.
Ya Canelo beat Trout, but barley.... to me i thought it was an extremely close fight and wouldn't have been surprised to see trout with the decision at the end. And this was the only decent win he has ever had, besides trout his resume is complete garbage. Canelo throws powerful and nice combos, but half the time he takes the round off, and vs trout he threw like 30 punches per round. Now with mayweather back with SR and fighting more defensive, I don't see a very action filled fight. And the only threat canelo poses to floyd is size.
I would way rather see floyd fight martinez, pacquiao or the winner of the 140 lb tournament. State your opinions and comments please.
Because Canelo has speed, skill and strength. And he's a champion.
Everyone knew Guerrero was going to lose, The only selling point is will Floyd get old over night.
Canelo has stomped everyone, Trout is a huge man for 154, Canelo got tired. Canelo didn't "barely win" only the shotime commentators think that, Canelo won a hefty decision, look at the cards, he was the only one landing anything meaningful, Trout landed pretty much nothing besides his jab.
Canelo vs Floyd is a good fight because Canelo is strong enough to pressure floyd and fast enough to hit him.
Was there anyone in boxing more physically perfect than Tyson?
Speed
Power
Explosiveness
Reflexes
Endurance
Toughness
Honestly, name on fighter in the history of boxing who beats Tyson in those departments. Tyson imo only fell short mentally.
yeah Tyson was a tremendous Athlete, but also a smaller heavyweight. he just had the Noggin and punching power to compete at HW.
for me it's Ali though, A big man moving around on his feet like that is incredible. Holmes had really quick hands but whenever he got up on his toes he looked heavy and stupid.
Proportionately and frame wise Ali had big legs and a lean upperbody.
How would they do against the current crop at ww and the new commers on their way up? Garcia, Matthyse, Khan etc?
Margarito did bust up the current crop of guys, he'd beat the up and comers too
