Who's Full Of It?

[Addison]

People like to smokescreen their actual lack of Boxing knowledge with various methods.. You can use your imagination for that.

Which members in your opinion actually know very little about the sport?

ofcourse anyone who disaggrees with the poster will be named.


Just because a poster chooses not to engage in a debate based on the history of the sport doesn't mean he isn't learned on the subject.


Take me for instance. I have 20 years experience as a fan, 10 years actually participating in the sport, and have read a few books on the subject.

That said, nine outta ten times, I never go into detail as i feel it isn't warrented.

Imagine trying to convince any nuthugger That Historically many pure boxers with more talent than Mayweather never reached elite status. It would start an endless cycle of responces that would quickly degenerate into name calling and the like.


so, I choose not to use actual facts because i know based on experience that no matter how valid the arguement, a nutlicker will always reach for straws and change the subject.

To what end then? This is a forum of OPINIONS. Facts are of little importance where prefernce based on anything but history reigns supreme.


As an example. If Dios posts somthing negative about Hatton. The usual suspects will, line up to support that post and defend it for no better reason than lines have been drawn.

Thats not argueing on facts or history-that is clickish drama queen bull****.

so again, whats the point?

Too many to name. Especially when they try to talk about Willie Pep as if they've seen more then 15 of his fights. "He's the best defensive fighter ever!!" How the **** do you know? Hearsay bastards some are.

Good post.

For me, I feel there is an over-reliance on well known fact, statistics, triangle theory, and Boxrec info. When it comes down to the actual fights and the basics of engagement that's where I find something lacking.

Agreed. Sometimes competition is good to rate a fighter, but in many cases it really has no bearing. All the fighters at the top of a weight class are WORLD-CLASS and can beat each other on any other day. THe best prepared boxer wins 90% of the time.
