    boxing myths....

    floyd mayweather is grounded.

    Michael Nunn dominated James Toney.

    Larry Holmes vs Ken Norton was razor thin close.

    Sugar Ray Leonard vs Roberto Duran No mas fight was a blow out.

    Lennox Lewis has a glass chin.

    Joe Calzaghe landed 1006 punches against Jeff Lacy.

    That Hopkins won the Calzaghe fight...

    It took 5 minutes to replace Cassius Clay's glove in the Henry Cooper fight(it was 4).

    Mike Tyson was unbeatable in his prime.

    Marvin Hagler vs Sugar Ray Leonard was a robbery.

    The Hurricane film

    Tarver got lucky when he KO'd Jones.

    Larry Holmes does not belong with the all time great heavyweights.

    David Haye is the savior of the HW division.

    James Toney is ripped.

    John Ruiz is just so exciting to watch.

    Peter Manfredo is anything but a media product.

    Herol Graham was an oft-avoided defensive wizard, the only reason he never won a title is because nobody good would fight him.

    Roy Jones Jnr fought and defeated the best fighters in three different weight classes.

    Gene Tunney only beat Jack Dempsey because of the long count.

    The Jack Johnson / Stanley Ketchell fight was not fixed




    here's just a few examples to get us started.

    now yours...






    FOOTNOTE:this could be viewed as a send up,some are tongue in cheek some are'nt!

    you decide.

      I agree with most of those, except not really about Manfredo and definitely not about Holmes-Norton. That fight was very close. BTW, who the hell started the myth that Ruiz was exciting to watch?

          Here's a myth: Lewis whipped Holy in fight II. Actually, most sober minded individual had Holy the clear victor.

              Thanks for clearing that up, mate. I should have caught on when you called James Toney ripped.

                a myth that gets on my nerves is the notion that Hopkins destroyed Tarver ,he did not throw enough punches to destroy anybody
