    #1 problem with this forum

    People not willing to go back and look at fights.

    Seriously, so many people want to argue about their take on a fight but are unwilling to go back and watch it again.

    There were people on here today who didn't even know Quartey knocked Oscar down in their fight, yet you always have people debating who won that one. People are always saying, "I think I scored it like..." or something along those lines, unwilling to go back and watch the fight (sometimes in slow motion) and back themselves up.

    I say if you want to argue about it, you better be willing and able to access the fight and back up your points.

    And by the way, you know you're good at scoring fights when you can score it, then watch it in slow motion and end up with the same score you had before. I know, very few people have time to watch parts of a fight in slow motion, but it reveals a lot more than you'd think.

    This is kind of off-topic but I really didn't know that Tunney knocked Dempsey down in their 2nd fight. I never heard about that all people talk about is the long-count. I didn't know until I was watching Boxing on ESPN and Bert Sugar mentioned it.

      you don't have to know the details of a fight you haven't seen unless you're trying to argue a point about it.

          Tyson is a classic case. People always talk about how he was "hurt" against Reggie Gross, which was really about 5-10 seconds before Tyson knocked him the **** out. They just hear things and use it as facts. Also, seeing highlights doesn't count as seeing the fight.

                  No ****, bro. I swear, there are very few fighters I feel completely secure in assessing having seen damn near every one of their fights, guys like Mayweather, Corrales, De La Hoya, and a few others. But nowadays, if I haven't seen at least 8 of your fights, then honestly, you are not fighting the right opposition.
