Fighters who hold their current status almost entirely on single incidents?

I wouldn't say he "**** it" against Sprott, he just had a mental lapse... I mean, come on, even SPROTT didn't think he won that one, did he? It was only everyone's favourite ref Dave Parris that did.

But yeah, Danny blew away all past sins by - even though he wasn't in shape and didn't give a great performance - nearly KOing Audley with a clipping shot.

Tawdry gets up and he's "where the **** am I?" Haw haw haw!

it WAS a hook

Did it go under the point of the chin though? I know that doesn't make it not a hook, I just can't believe a hook to the side would deck my boy so heavily.

mental lapse - he ****in **** it - after doing what he did to him before and was in a fight he 'fackin bottled it'

The Cooper knockdown of Clay was undoubtedly caused by a left hook.

As for Tarver....

Tarver has a good body of work. His success against Roy= no fluke.
He avenged losses to very capable guys like Harding & Glenn Johnson.

If you keep on dissin' my boy I'm gonna have to transfer and upload that fight for ya. I seem to remember he showboated most of the rounds away. Considering he was blasting Sprott at the end and Sprott could only see out of one eye I don't see him ****ting it.

Damn....you just took two steps baxckwards as a boxing expert !
Don't worry about where the punch landed....it was thrown as a hook.
It hit Ali where it did....because Ali is taller & had his head straight in the air.

No, read what I said again. I'm not suggesting that hook isn't a hook depending on where it lands (it reads that way because I've written it in garbled English).

I'm just trying to reason why I misremembered it as an uppercut and also justify my boy's chin. I can't accept that Ali was out on his feet from a hook to the side of the face.

The point of the chin being a more vulnerable spot, right?

Try as I might I just can't get all that excited about Tarver. Other than with the Jones fight he seems to lack a killer instinct. His other wins are pretty much nondescript. They look like his losses except that he wins, say, by a score 115-113 instead of losing it the other way around.

He had Johnson reeling in both of their fights at times yet refused to try and put him away. Same thing happened in the third fight with Roy. I don't know, he's like a bigger Juan Diaz except Teddy Atlas' lips aren't planted on his ass.

But, that's not what the thread is about. It's about fighters basically living off of one moment.
Tarver has a good resume, period.

True. But a specific thread topic has never stopped me from ranting about something else entirely.
