Which fighter was more myth then man?

[The Infamous]

Despite all of Hamed's accomplishments, he still represents the ultimate example of "mental softness" in the game of boxing. Hamed's name is synonymous with being "owned", despite also being the #1 guy before that fight.

Hamed represents the ulitimate example of "being retired" by another fighter, so he gets my vote, because he never even tried to avenge that loss. he tucked his tail and went away, literally.

then he blew up to the size of a balloon.

[shocky]

His best ever performance remains Steve Robinson, his last decent performance is Tom Johnson.

Hamed stopped training as hard when he became a champion and a real star, he didn't have as many doubters and had the natural speed and natural power to be able to knock guys out and so he saw no need to train hard anymore because he had no points to prove. He gradually became more and more of a stranger to the gym, and gradually became more and more reliant on just the one big punch. So by the time he fought Barrera, he was at his worst and had no chance of winning that fight. He was extremely over-confident by then!

Your out of your ****ing mind... Hamed does not even come close to a pimple on Barrera's ass.. ****ing sober up....

Ike Ibeabuchi anyone?

If Ike is "myth", then every Heavy today must also be considered that way. Put Ike into today's Heavy scene and he walks over more than a few guys.

Eubank himself said prime vs prime Roy Jones Jr would beat him.

When did he say that?

[JUYJUY]

Jones Jr would murder Benn and Collins in one night.

He'd have to be wheeled into the ring in a wheelchair to fight Collins, after Benn's finished with him.

Seriously, you really think he'd murder Benn? Even Jones himself admitted that he was afraid of Benn, there really is little doubt in my mind that Benn would knock him out every time.

.... Biggs lost faith after the Tyson fight, but he was the Olympic Gold medalist who beat Lennox Lewis in the final.

Biggs and Lewis never met in the Olympic ring (excuse the pun). When they did meet as pros, Lewis badly out-classed Biggs.

Lewis won gold for the Canadian Team in 1988, when he beat Rud**** Bowe. A pro matchup was avoided by Bowe, who probably would have been beat again.

Biggs won gold in 1984, beating the forgettable Francesco Damiani. But, in their highly anticipated professional matchup four years later, the Italian soundly kicked Biggs ass in 5 rounds.

Lewis got Silver in 1984, Biggs got the Gold. That must mean that they fought in the final

True nuff. No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to re-write history. I suppose it's easy to remember a gold medal win and bury the gold medal loss ...... 1984, Lewis who?

I'm guessing (could be wrong again) that Lewis didn't turn pro for a few years, while Biggs got started right away in 1984 (coming off the Gold medal momentum)?

The young Lewis had a presence in the Olympic world, eh? Silver against the young Biggs and then steps-up to beat Bowe. Not bad.
