Hagler should have got the decision against Leonard

Nigel Benn was a huge puncher ,big puncher but not in the class of Jackson ,G-Man

Lennox Lewis was packing Glass

Judah showed heart in the Cotto fight

Eubank was finished by the time he fought Calzaghe ,he was 28 at the time & has stated in his book he trained hard for the fight & he had no excuses what so ever ,Eubank had previously been in wars with J Jarvis ,R Close ,D Sherry,G Stretch Lmao

that Dela Hoya was flat out robbed against Trinidad

that Mike Tyson was unbeatable in the late 80's ,he fought nobody its no coincidence he got beat as soon as he faced the real deal Holyfeild who was also a top fighter

Agree with everything except the DLH Trinidad comment. I do think DLH won that fight, the more I have watched it over the years the more I see the dominating performance by DLH. I don't think it was the biggest robbery ever by any means but I can't see how Trinidad wins the belt from the champ after winning the last 4 rounds of the fight.

If anything they should have called it a draw, DLH should have fought and risked himslef more but he and everyone watching on TV and in that arena thought he won the fight.

that Antonio Tarver beat RJJ in thier first encounter

that Hopkins should have got the decisions against Taylor

that James Toney was'nt beaten Twice by Montell Griffin ,Griffin won the 1st fight clearly IMO ,the 2nd was closer but Griffin still won

that was my biggest Gripe with this fight for me ,Oscar niether Tito deserved the win i thought it was a draw but i could'nt give the fight to Oscar just because he threw it away after looking impressive up untill that point ,u only score 10-9 unless there is a knockdown no matter how impressively u win the rounds, and Trinidad was let back into the fight by Oscar so i couldnt give it to him either

Mike Tyson was unbeatable in his prime.

Lennox Lewis has a glass chin.

i agree

Nunn was doing enough to keep Toney off him but Toney was getting closer & closer with each passing round & eventually nailed him ,Nunn was probably winning the fight though up untill then Though not domintaing though
