10 truths boxing fans should accept!

[jamesbrown]

YOU CANT BLAME HIM HE MADE THIS DECISION WITHOUT ARUM BECAUSE HE WAS HUNGARY HE HAS TO EAT.....AND THIS WAS THE MOST MONEY EVER THROWN AT HIM I WOULD HAVE DONE IT TO IF I WAS HIM .....WILL HE GOT HIS FIRST MILLION....AT A VEREY COSTLY PRICE

i'm not blaming him it mad more fights for me to watch... but taking out cotto would have made him more $$$ in the future... and he would be able to call more names out!!! now no one will fight him and give even more excuses... on second thought maybe kermit could be redemption for him if Kermit is really serious

[!! Mr. Soprano]

tough, yes. can he be beat? easily...

Aren't you contradicting yourself?

How can anyone be beat easily in a tough fight?

i meant it is easily possible that he can be beat, but it would be a tough fight because he is so tall, but yea it does sound contradicting. my bad.

Joe Frazier would end Wladimir's life. Along with prime Tyson.

That's just your own oppinion and I'm sure there will be plenty who would agree with you.

In my opinion prime Tyson, very possible, not Frazier. I'm not saying Tyson is better than Frazier.. we all know styles make fights...

I just don't see a 5'11 fighter who fights low, getting anywhere close to Wlad...

For now, these are just the matters of oppinion and the real truth may never be know..

But I will tell you one thing... when it come to calling big fights, I'm usually very good at it

If Lamon Brewster can knock Wladimir out with about 10 good shots over 5 rounds, you bet your ass Frazier would get rid of him with a relentless body attack, followed by headshots in 2-3 rounds. Brewster landed like 4 body punches to set up his attack. I don't think any reasonable state athletic commission would let Wlad in the same ring with Joe Frazier.

Lennox Lewis' chin is suspect. If Frazier landed on it Lennox could be finished.

I wonder how Wlad or Lennox would do with the old George Foreman.

i agree that agressive, big punchers(tyson, frazier, foreman) give wlad, lewis and VK tougher fights than boxers like homes or Ali... but remember that when brewster beat wlad he took an ungodly amount of punishment to do it... frazier was KO'd very quicky by a powerful, but crudely skilled foreman...

I agree they'd have a fairly easy time with Williams

historicly, a tall fighter with a good jab and skills will give a smaller, better, speedier fighter a hard time.... forrest did it to shane, tarver did it to RJ, hearns did it to SRL... i think that could be the problem that Pwill presents to floyd and shane....

the only thing is that none of those fighters is as technically skilled as floyd and Williams isn't Tarver, Forrest, or Hearns. He has to get more technically sound to present problems to Floyd or Shane.

5. Shane and Oscar are past their time primes and quickly slipping

In the past 6 years Shane is 5-4-1 with his biggest wins being a questionable decision over Oscar and two wins over a shot Vargas. Prior to losing to PBF, Oscar was 4-2 the last 5 years with a highly questionable win over Sturm. Oscar is almost 35 and Shane is almost 36. Neither fighter has been considered a top P4P fighter in years and they’re averaging only about a fight a year. Yet somehow people wanted to see Floyd fight Oscar and now they want him to fight Shane. I don’t understand it. These guys are past their primes and on their last legs. I don’t even think Shane could beat Cintron or Pwill and Oscar is trying to get 140lb Hatton to come up and fight him. Both guys are at least 5-6 years past their primes.
