Which fighters have ever had you convinced they're for real when they're not?

[Easy-E]

david tua, shane mosley (you read it right, i said mosley), jermain taylor, vivian harris, vitali klitschko (yes, ive jumped off the vitali bandwagon), kid diamond, marcus beyer, joe cal***gy, i could probly think of a few more.

this is too much deception for such a wounded sport.

why hating on taylor???
he has 25 pro fights!!!
he is doing great things imo, esp with his willingness to take on winky and pay him a good price.

shane mosley was a great fighter


i def agree with joe c, vitali, tua, harris and kid diamond tho

Did you realize that when they discovered Parks had HIV that he was set to fight Gerald McClellan?

I too loved Lamar and McClellan v. Parks would have been unbelievable!

Roy Jones Sr actually predicted Parks was going to beat McClellan, saying because McClellan was becoming an over-confident head-hunter. But Jones Sr said in that same interview that Gerald had the style and tools that would beat his son, Roy Jr, if they fought. Interesting stuff.

Zab Judah, I was a really big fan of this guy until a week ago. That was as dissapointing as when Iron Mike got knocked out by Buster. I can't understand how is dad thought he won that fight. I'm really upset that his camp talked all that garbage about lights out to everybody he fights or could possibly fight. I just wished he would showed some kind of urgency to knock this guy out in the early rounds, but he never brought the fight to Baldomir.

So what if they were champs. There're so many belts floatin' around boxing I could snatch one.Paul Spadafora's a champ, do you think he's real?

I always hated spadafora and always discounted the supposed sparring session with Mayweather where he looked so good. I got it here and now again, I'm not sure. I know that Spaddy can't crack an egg, so for all his slickness, he would meet his match out there and it may not be Mayweather or anyone expected. Boxing is a 'different' sport. You could have handed Mayweather his ass 6 months ago and then get KTFO by Juan Diaz campaigning at welter . Our sport is less predictable than games with a ball.

Kostya tszyu when i was younger.

Man, I would say that Tszyu is about as real as they come. He had that loss to Philips, but other than that he took on all comers, finally losing only to Hatton who may be the only real thing at that weight now. Tszyu has had a long career especially when you factor in his amateur fights. He's for real.

I'd disagree with that... although Mike wasn't focussed and his timing was off, once he realised he was in a fight, not only did he fight back (with a potentially fight-ending uppercut) but he also took a LOT of punishment before finally going down against a larger, motivated man who had thrown everything at him.

Zab got beat by a glorified journeyman.

We won't know the answer to that one until March.

Well let me re-phrase my statement. I didn't mean that the loss to Buster was a big disapointment as far as Buster didn't have a chance and Tyson loss to a chump, what I meant was that I was equally as big of fan to Tyson as I was to Judah and just the fact that both of them lost was a disapointment to me. I definateely don't take anything away from Tyson he was a great champion I just wanted Judah to become that kind of figure in boxing. Obviously he lacks the courage and heart for the sport that Tyson once had.
