The Biggest Myths in Boxing

[THE REED]

ill agree.. he was overrated by the GENERAL public...

if you retract your statement "blown up welterweight with a ****ty left jab"

[Banjo7]

Rocky Marciano was not the greatest Heavy of all time.


That made me laugh when people say that

49-0-0 With 43 KO's when he beat all the Greats of the time and of all time Joe Louis KO'd in eight rounds, Jersey Joe Walcott Ko'd in 13 rounds and 11 rounds.

He is the greatest HW of All time.

Blown-up welterweight I'll retract...

****ty left-jab, that's all I'll give him. He used to flick that out and then dance away and expect the world to kiss his ass..

That if you learn boxing you can always win street fights.

Fact is, 95% of street fights end up on the GROUND.

You wont always win them but if you can punch your halfway to winning them because alot of people will just fold once they start taking shots to the head.

That Ali was the "greatest".

Just because HE said he was, doesn't mean it is true.

[guzi815]

Ali was never a welterweight, he was just a light heavyweight (two different words, never a light-heavyweight, just a light heavyweight).

Dude used to throw out that left jab like a welterweight, and got floored by Henry Cooper, and then his corner cheated....

Never The Greatest, never even top ten........

That's cool, but check this out though...

In the 70's era, Ali took on "EVERYBODY", all the big dogs, George Foreman, Leon Spinks, Joe Frazier, Ken Norton....yo these dudes were the top of the Heavyweight Division, some dudes he fought two and three times! Alot of people forget what beast Sonny Liston was.

[Welter_Skelter]

SOme or all of these might have already been said..

Good Thread btw...

The Heavy Weigth Division is weak.. The only thing weak about it is the American crop...

Floyd Mayweather is a Runner... Bull****.. he is a Pure Boxing master..

Cotto/Lewis/Klitschko/Haye/Liatzu/Judah etc.. have bad chins... This boxing folks.. Which involves people punching eachother... people are going to get hurt.. and even Knocked out... When you compare the amount of time people get hit and NOT get hurt.. you see how silly this nonsense is..

Greatness can only be achieved fighting in the USA... Fighting American opponents.. No comment needed

The check Hook KO'd Hatton...

Antonio Margarito is the most feared man in Boxing.. LOL

If you are a southpaw.. You WILL beat Wlad Klitschko...

White men Can't fight..

Mexicans are ALL warriors

I am sure there are many more...
