Who started this A-side, B-side thing?

[The Big Dunn]

- - Ring p4p rated #5

What grade they send U back to that year?

Two things can be true at once.

He got that rating on the strength of upsetting Hamed. What I posted was 100% correct, which is why you didn’t answer the question about prime directly.

It’s like you guys say Manny was shot when Floyd beat him, yet he was ranked #2 p4p, higher than the rank you cited above. So maybe he was as prime as you say Barrera was.

[djtmal]

Barrera had been retired for about 2 years and had been beaten badly in 2 fights with Jones. Yes he came back and upset Hamed.

Are you sure that is prime?

Absolutely.

Why you trying to make it seem like Barrera took two savage beatings to Junior Jones when the truth is he got soundly outboxed by a light puncher.

Big Dunn excuses flow through this dude

I think it was Floyd who coined the term, likely something Haymon whispered in his ear. Haymon was a music exec, and back when there were vinyl records, you had the A side and B side of a single 45 RPM record. A side was the hit song, B side was a less popular song from the album.

Do you think SRL would have been more of an Asider if he were in todays technology fueled era ?
Social media and so many networks.....

Oh yeah.

Dude was a legit celebrity.

He'd be dating like Rihanna & have like 10 million followers on IG & Twitter.

Plus, as an Olympic gold medalist, he'd be on TV constantly.

It'd take years for us to get fights with Hearns & Duran

He'd probably never fight Hagler in this day & age until Hagler was at least 35-36 & maybe lost a fight or two.

[LeOoze]

Absolutely.

Have you seen the first Barrera/Jones fight? MAB got his ass whooped. Plus he had his wear and tear from his wars too. Yet you give Manny credit for beating him, but won’t give floyd credit for beating Manny

I don't see a problem with a boxer maximizing their earning potential.
Not all boxers are equal.

I’m old and got old records a side was the chit,

Yeah, that makes complete sense. No doubt that's where it came from.
The hit song being on the A side of the disc and the supporting song/s on the B side.

I don't mind it either until it takes a toll on the sport and keeps us from getting the fights we want.

Oscar & Leonard made a ton of money while fighting just about everybody in their generation.

A side B side goes on in every facet of sports and life itself.
Some A sides are more ''demanding'' and rightfully so.
