And why do you think Woods didnt show up? Its because of the man that was standing in front of him. Like I said I dont care for Tarver, but his movement threw Woods off and gave him trouble, obviously he changed his gameplan and knowing that someone who was in his camp was helping Woods, he was better off for it.

So what you're saying is that American losses off US soil don't count because Americans can't win unless they're holding all the aces?Comment

Not at all, what Im saying is what Ive already said, besides, I dont know Tim Bradley and Im sure most dont, also he doesnt have a title to lose, nor is a champ, which this thread is about.Comment

I have not boxed at any level and I could see the shots that Tarver was open to so let's not pretend that this was some sort of masterful and elusive performance by him. He fought at the same low standard he has done for the last couple of years, the difference was tonight he fought someone who threw punches sporadically and seemed more interested in trundling forward aimlessly and protecting his face than actually doing any damage himself.And why do you think Woods didnt show up?

There wasn't much of a hullabaloo when Chop Chop lost out to Witter either. Woods is very low down in the rankings of popularity among British fighters. He came to America to defend his title because he doesn't have enough drawing power to sit in sheffield and fill up the Arena three times a year and make some dough.
Also you mention Calzaghe who doesn't have a title at light heavy.Comment

Nope you haven't stated any facts. Woods really isn't anybody.
Calzaghe
Hatton
Amir Khan
Haye
Maccarinelli
Froch
Witter
Alex Arthur
Clinton Woods
That's the hierarchy.Last edited by squealpiggy; 04-12-2008, 11:59 PM.Comment

If that the case then what does that say about Clinton Woods then? If you havent ever boxed maybe you wouldnt understand, I have boxed and when you see fighters not doing what appears to be the obvious its for a reason. Sometimes its because of whats coming back, more times than not its because the fighter cant do the obvious, sometimes its fatigue. Most sports look easy, heck golf and tennis does but they arnt. Get in the ring and spar, it takes years to master.I have not boxed at any level and I could see the shots that Tarver was open to so let's not pretend that this was some sort of masterful and elusive performance by him.
