Myths of Boxing

[BrooklynBomber]

On the other hand pick a boo, contrary to a general belief, is not very well suited defense for heavyweights where jabs rules the ball. I mean you can only dodge that punch so many rounds.

[Cuauhtémoc1520]

here's a few..
Rocky Marciano..nuff said!
Leonard's "No Mas" win against Duran
DLH was ever robbed!
JT's first lost was to Pavlik!
Fernando Vargas is TOUGH!
Shane Mosely is a BOXER and not a PUNCHER!
Corey Spinks W against Mayorga!!

????????????????



1 - You think Marciano was overated??? LOL at that one

2 - You quit you lose, plain and simple

3 - DLH won that fight with Tito, I have seen it a million times now and, yes he got on the bicycle in the last 4 rounds but the first 8 weren't even close. At worst he should have gotten the draw, no way Tito WON that fight.

4 - JT's fights were very close to Hopkins but you can't say there was a clear winner, no way.

5 - You can say what you want about Vargas but questioning his toughness is just plain dumb. The guy fought the best fighters of his time and never showed any quit in him. He took a beating from trinidad and lasted the entire fiht right until the end. He may be lazy but he's not soft, no way.

6 - You must have never seen Mosley as an amature or in his early fights with DLH, he's a phenomenal boxer, no doubt about it. You don't get the name "Sugar" and not be a slick boxer.....

Biggest Myths in Boxing

Hagler got robbed against Leonard

Dela Hoya got Robbed against Tito, it was close fight

I agree, some of the rounds the effective punching had to go to Tito, it looked like Taylor Chavez. DLH threw a lot of flashy flurries but Tito was landed a lot of harder punches

[Scott9945]

He had pretty damn good defense, but he was not a defensive fighter.

Swarmers rarely are.

His defense was impressive for two or three rounds. After that it was very ordinary.
