Comments Thread For: KO of Amir Khan Puts Garcia on Shockingly Short List

[Dave Rado]

Hearns loss to Barkley was not a unification fight like what Khan v Garcia was last weekend.

What on earth has that got to do with anything? Did you even read the article? It wasn't about unification fights, it was about fights that were being totally dominated by the favourite and then got suddenly turned round by a single shocking punch. Why don't you learn to read?

The writer obviously has limited knowledge of the sport otherwise he would have mentioned Don Curry vs Milton McCrory Welterweight unification fight from June 1985 when Donald Curry nearly beheaded his opponent with a frightening left-hook midway through round 2.

McCrory was NOT dominating the fight up to that point and nor was he the odds-on favourite to win, so that fight is completely irrelevant. Again you clearly haven't read the article.

or if his knowledge of this sport was up to scratch he could have mentioned that incredible welterweight title fight from August 1987 between Starling v Breland when a devastating series of Left-Hooks from Starling ended the undefeated run from Breland and cost him his world title

Again, Breland was not the odds-on favourite and nor was he dominating the fight up to that point, so that fight is completely irrelevant.

You certainly know how to make a fool of yourself.

Am I the only one who thinks that Breidis Prescott did a far more spectacular job on Amir?

Ah wait, he's not american, he's just a second class human being.

Khan was not dominating the fight against Prescott up to that point so that fight has no relevance whatsoever to the article, which was about fights in which an odd-on favourite was dominating a fight, which then got turned round by a single shocking punch. Plus Khan hadn't won anything at that point, and the article was about title fights. Clearly you were so busy with your silly anti-American agenda that you didn't bother to read the article before posting about it.

Very poor article which seems to be written by a novice to this sport. unresearched and incorrect, Foreman dropped Moorer with a "Right-Hand not a Left-Hook". Hearns loss to Barkley was not a unification fight like what Khan v Garcia was last weekend. The writer obviously has limited knowledge of the sport otherwise he would have mentioned Don Curry vs Milton McCrory Welterweight unification fight from June 1985 when Donald Curry nearly beheaded his opponent with a frightening left-hook midway through round 2. or if his knowledge of this sport was up to scratch he could have mentioned that incredible welterweight title fight from August 1987 between Starling v Breland when a devastating series of Left-Hooks from Starling ended the undefeated run from Breland and cost him his world title in similar circumstances to Khan vs Garcia. but like most things the writer of the article puts up on this website he is incorrect, inacurate and wrong such is his limited knowledge of this sport. This same person once posted an article on this site claiming Tommy Morrison to be up their with the All Time Greats of the Sport... need i say any more!

But he did say 2 right hands. He mentioned nothing of any left hook.

AMEN BROTHER TELL EM!!!!! I couldn't have put it a better way lol.

Lyle Fitzsimmons is one of the worst sports writers ever. He's on par with Ronnie Nathanals. If Lyle made youtube videos, he'd just be a more eloquent Carceno.

while I agree fitzsimmons is a trash writer, no one, and i mean NO ONE, is on par with ronnie nathanielsz. i would wager that he is THE worst sports writer in history. this of course does not include douche malinowski, who has his own tier of scum...

Carbajal-Arce anyone???

[MASTER1454]

You missed out Marciano-Walcott.

He's only been watching boxing for "35 years" - and apparently never had ESPN Classic Sports channel, SMDH....

Am I the only one who thinks that Breidis Prescott did a far more spectacular job on Amir?

Ah wait, he's not american, he's just a second class human being.

1. Not a fight of major importance - i.e., no title on the line, etc. Also, what had Prescott done since the Khan fight?

2. What does him not being American have anything to do with this?

Trolls - they're everywhere......
