Do you factor Dishology into your boxing picks?

isn't it more gay to think he's handsome than to think he isn't?

Well at first, I would say yes. But I changed my mind, and I did change my mind, and I said no.

i don't really think handsomeness plays into boxing results.

Then how come Terry O'Connor had to save Manfredo Jr from a devasting KO loss then?

You must be new to the sport of boxing, then.

Sometimes the difference between an average looking Joe, and a dish can be the difference between life and death in this sport.

All this whining has ruined my daydream of Joe Calzaghe fiddling with my rusty coin. Spoil sports!!!

Speaking of which, you Philly boys sure don't produce any dishes. Just look at your sig for proof. Even my Froch has a bit of Brad Pitt about him when compared to those bruisers.

Taylor was boyishly cute, in his own way.

At least I thought he was.

Frazier, Hopkins, Saad, Chambers, and the rest? Not so much.

Steve Cunningham has a great body.

I'd eat creamed corn out of his *******.

(No ****.)

Refs tend to favor the better looking guy.

This is one thing I'd forgot to include when I did my pick for Froch vs. Taylor the other week. (You remember? I correctly calculated that Froch would stop a gassing Taylor late... I dunno whether I mentioned it or not.)

Whatever anyone says about Jermain Taylor, he's a handsome fella. He's currently in my top ten P4P dish list. Whereas Carl Froch looks like a batty Marty Feldman.

When Froch was KD'd, he wasn't particularly hurt, but he had no qualms about getting up because in the back of his mind he must be thinking "if I get hit in the face another hundred times it might make me better looking."

Take the converse with Jermain. Bad Intentions - more like Dish Intentions. When the fight's not going his way he's thinking "**** this, I want to stay handsome."



Agree - yes/no? It's the reason why Ricky Hatton never bothers with a defence but Floyd's the defence master.

There are notable exceptions to this - Calzaghe vs Hopkins being one - but generally speaking if I had to have a street fight I'd rather fight a dish with something to lose than some ugly **** with everything to gain.

Your thoughts?

How do you explain the success of hopkins ?

or conversely the success of a pretty boy like Wlad?

Not for Sturm/De La Hoya they didn't!

[Dubious-Dutch]

Of course. It only makes sense.
