Biggest Myths in Boxing

[big paulie]

it is a Myth that Just because Barrera beat Hamed that every other top Featherweight would have beaten him just because Barrera had his number

they would have had to get past the 3/4 round for a start which was hard for any Featherweight when Hamed hit as hard as he did in his prime

But we will never find out because he only fought one elite fighter, got schooled and dissapeared from the sport. Anything can happen in boxing but going on the only actual super fight Hamed had, Morales and Marquez wouldnt have lost much sleep over him. I give him a chance against Pac.

Yeah what a ridiculous thing to say the object of the game is hurt your oponent

This is not the object of the sport, the object is to land more scoring blows to your opponent than he lands on you, if a ko comes then all the more better. Malignaggi scores with lots of punches but hardly any of them are concussive, not that i'd like to take any

Yes but it would still be impossible to win a round without throwing a punch.

It's not impossible.

If you make the other guy look like **** but barely throw punches yourself you might get the round unless the judges score based on aggression (even if it's not effective).

The judges might just look at the guy missing all of those punches and looking like a clown and forget that the other fighter didn't throw anything himself.

Or the opponent could have a point deducted or something like that.

It's not impossible but it is true that Willie Pep did not win a round without throwing a punch.

It is impossible. If you don't throw punches you can't score and if you can't score you can't win the round. If it ever happened and the judge awarded the round to a fighter who didn't throw a punch then they should never be allowed to judge again.

It should be impossible (unless there were two boxers not throwing a punch and the other one got a point deducted) but we all know how boxing is.


For example, Ottke gets his ass totally kicked in the 6th round but wins it because a knockdown is called a slip and Reid is deducted a point for who knows what.

One of the biggests Myths is that Oscar De La Hoya beat Felix Sturm

I think it is only a myth if people actually believe it.

This match really should have been invistigated. It was fixed. Had to be.

Having the audacity to plant one clean in Ottkes face. Lots of people got robbed by ottkes hometown bull****, but you picked the best example I thinks.
