Hoskins is for real!

who can take him?

I love how people respond to a technical analysis of that fight video with a "uh-uh you a wrong, cause I say so..." like a little child trying to argue.

I gave the guy his props, but I also pointed out stuff he does that can be a weakness. Ask any trainer, if you plant your feet wide to generate power that is a no-no. That's why they tie boxers feet on a string to cure balance issues and foot movement problems.

There's nothing necessarily wrong with wide hooks, or punching uppercuts from the outside like he does "if" you can get away with it, you tend to open yourself to counters when you do that stuff. Especially uppercuts from the outside cause you lower your arm and you have to return it to defense after the punch, where as a hook your arm is ready to go back to defense after the punch.

Just pointing things out. If you don't have the ability to look at flaws you leave no room for improvement. I hope you don't treat your personal life the same way.

Stromprophet sir you need to research the history of Hoskins threads (and beware that he had about 4 usernames before 'GreatestIAM') beginning in about Jan. or Feb. and then you'll understand what people are talking about. It's a long train of jokes and versatile would be the last person to overestimate Hoskins's abilities if he were being serious - the two used to go at it over the boards all the time.

He wouldn't be funny, and he wouldn't be made fun of if his first post on boxingscene wasn't "I can kill any amateur boxer on here". So ignorant.

6-1 baby and still comin strong, youll all here about me in the Golden Gloves come May!

how much u weigh so i can get to that weight and get k.oed by u if i get passed regionals.cause i know were about the same weight

[Verstyle]

I get it, man. I remember when it was funny as hell a few months ago...still is, actually; but I wanted to just point out that the kid does have pretty good handspeed. That's the first time I'd seen him in the ring. Before, all I'd seen was that goofy shadow-boxing exhibition in someone's back yard.

He's got good speed and I'd bet he's probably got above average power; but just wanted to notate the obvious concerning his balance and technique...or lack of both. If he didn't try to do the "killer flurry" thing and fought at a more measured pace with a consistant jab, etc...

Well, anyway. Yeah, I get it....just wanted to not talk about how he and Bryan Boytano defeated Mega-Streisand with their fire breath before the rest of the JLA showed up and what-not for a change.

u just made the great hoskin's head even bigger

Haha. This is funny stuff. I gotta ask a noob question though. How did all this Hoskins stuff get started? Some one fill me in please.

First he made a thread in I think late Jan. or early Feb. that said something like "I could kill any of you mother****ers" "My name is Donald Hoskins, and I am the greatest!"

He kept getting banned and opening new accounts. Eventually he posted a shadowboxing video that featured, among other things, a spinning behind-the-back-punch.

In May about a hundred threads were made about him, some of them absolutely hilarious. When they got the article on wikipedia I nearly lost it. You can find it all if you spend some time searching.

Now he posts as GreatestIAM and behaves normally, but for a while it was by far the funniest thing I've seen on here.
