WE HAVE A DEAL!!

Done.

That bet sucks personally. You are both characters on this board that make it fun to go on. You are also two of my e-comrades, it won't be fun seeing Easton go ( since there is no way Floyd is losing the fight) but you decided to man up and make a bet of that magnitude, so good luck to you both.

More of De La Hoya's nonsense

Am I the only one who remembers watching De la hoya on 24/7 saying that he was going to surprise Mayweather with his speed and that not only was he going to match his speed but actually be faster? Never happened. What did happen is that he got tired just like he said he wouldn't. Come on its purely him rooting for his own guy to win with no factual thought behind it.

Oscar fights flat footed, he is always tired at the end of fights.

Let me clear up this jab fiasco with some people. Alright, Oscar's jab undoubtedly had success against Floyd. However, not many people have a jab as fast and as strong as Oscars. DLH is LEFT HANDED and fights orthodox so he uses his dominant hand (why do you think his left hook is so good) to jab. Using his dominant hand to jab makes it supremly fast and strong, I can count the people with better jabs than him on my hand, because there aren't to many.

Really cleared that up for me....

Vernon forrest is not a natural lefty and has a great jab. Klitschko is a righty and has a left jab. Who cares if they are 'natural' left handed or not. Doesn't really make a difference because the years you spend when you are younger honing in on the jab and perfecting it is what makes the jab great. Not because you use your dominant hand as your lead one.

But whatever...

On the HBO board, I'm 5-2-1 on signature or fight picks....

..and 7-0 on Banishment Bets.

Winky/taylor is the tie.

Your dominant hand will always be faster and stronger than the other hand. Did I say it was impossible to have a good jab with the other hand? Are you serious, I forgot you substantially lack boxing knowledge so that is an understandable statement coming from you, sir.

[Azteca]

Try training with your dominant hand jabbing and try it with the opposite hand and see which jab is better after a certain amount of time. Are you serious, I forgot your lack of boxing knowledge so it is an understandable statement from you, sir.

Lol at this statement. This really prove what you know.

YES, Tommy hearns was naturally left handed.
YES, ODLH was naturally left handed.
YES, Winky Wright was naturally right handed.

Does this matter?? NO. Only a backyard boxer would give me a rebuttal like the one above.

Developing a great jab takes YEARS and YEARS of training. YEARS. Was ali a lefty? Was Bob Foster a lefty? What about Klitschko? Lewis? Having a dominant hand really doesn't matter in the least bit.

Did I say you couldn't have a great jab with the other hand? I said Oscar's jab is substantially better than MANY OTHER JABS due to him using his dominant hand. Obviously your dominant hand with be stronger and faster than your other hand. You can't be serious.

Lol....

this is wrong in so many ways. But whatever I said my piece and you said yours. Im right and you're wrong but whatever.

I agree with you... it's no accident that his left hook is better than anyone else's... it's because it is his dominant hand.

Think of all the things you have done since birth with your dominant hand (write, change the TV remote, jack off, etc.) that would build it's muscles. You can't honestly tell me that all those activities doesn't increase the power, and the accuracy of a jab thrown, considering how often it is used, and how in sync it is with your eyes (or hand-eye coordination).

It is true though that someone can use their bad hand to make a great jab, ie Wlad, but I think it is a head start advantage to use your dominant hand.
