Common myths in boxing

[Rome-By-Ko]

That there is such a thing as running in a four cornered ring..

[BOXEO _]

A Catchweight (an extra pound or two) does not have an affect on a fighter already struggling to make weight.

[The Gambler1981]

One of the most common myths

Willie Pep winning a round without throwing a punch

[daggum]

Where did I say that?


Arum and his paid writers is one group there is no separation there, like your distance between your tongue and that groups collective rectum to lick up whatever negative drivel they have to say on a certain subject.

Sucks for Arum he lacked the vision to succeed with Floyd and that he let a bad relationship with Oscar cost him big time but neither of those are Floyd's fault

so arum paid off everyone to make floyd look like a coward? wow that's so mean. you know arum always matches his fighters together but floyd didn't want to be matched with arum's fighters and went out of his way to avoid them. floyd is the one who sabotaged the relationship. have you read any of the details? he wanted 20 million guarantee to fight hoya. absolutely ridiculous. arum said the money wasn't there. he was right. floyd only got 10 million guarantee when he actually fought hoya. so because floyd was unreasonable and priced himself out it was arum's fault? canelo made what 2 milion to fight lara and did about 350k ppvs. arum was willing to give floyd 8 million per fight when he did 350k buys. should canelo leave golden boy and ask for 20 million per fight?

LOL wow.

This ain't the place for that conversation, I already found out what I wanted to know regrading your "facts" which I already knew but wanted you to say.

Is it true that the movie, "Blood and Bone" starring Michael Jai White is loosely based off of your prison stint?

Great movie. New classic. Way better than blood sport. Like blood spot mixed with Scarface

You're probably 0-3 on these lol...

1. Figure Marquez fought Manny a total of 3 fights plus 6 rounds...I'm guessing a total of 1600-1700 punches thrown by Marquez in those fights total. 1 out of 1700 seems pretty lucky to me statistically great punch nonetheless...

2.Floyd is still ducking Manny...don't wanna start a ****** bickering match in this guys thread but facts are facts..the only guy holding up the fight at this point is Floyd. Manny been all over the place calling him out..

3.Tyson was reportedly ****ing all kinds of chicks and doing coke before that fight and partying all night long.... Mentally he was messed up...physically ,sure, his body looked fit but he wasn't his normal self that night...

Just some observations...

No punch in boxing is lucky, idiot. Tbh, I've never even heard of a "lucky punch" before Marquez laid out Pac. No such thing!

All Russian fighter are bad motherfuckers, all of them have iron will and iron chin and all of them can punch hard. (Just not true.)

The Mayweather-Pacquiao case is only May's fault, Pac and Arum are saints. (both of May's and Pac's side's fault)

Golovkin only struggled to find decent opponents because everyone is scared of him. (K2 is lame, offer less money)

Ward's inactivity will be the over of his carreer and he never come back. (he will be 32 years old even if he comes back in 2016 when his contractwill be officially over)

Ward's victories over Froch, Kessler, etc... have anything to do with the fights took place in America. (He dominated all of them without question, those fight could be in Denmark or UK, the outcome would be the same, except if the judges would pulled a same decision like on Froch-Dirrell.)

Danny Garcia is a well rounded fighter. (He can't box forward, and his offense is pretty lacks of creativity)

Donaire is and always was a bum because Rigo beat him soundly. (He cleaned out a pretty strong division before)

Provodnikov has frightening punching power (see also: the first myth). (Stats, facts, he definitely can punch but not so frightening at all)

Canelo is just a hypejob and can't box forward (he just beat a very technical guy in Lara who also tried to move all night long)

[Box-Office]

This is the most LOL one for me personally.

People think you can "improve" punching power. You can improve your technique and put more weight in shots and that shall certainly add venom to a certain extent, but you can't go from feather fisted to a puncher. Don't you think guys like Bradley would've figured out if there was a way to become a puncher?

[Elroy1]

I'll start...Duran dominated Leonard...and Leonard dominated the rematch....both were razor close fights separated by one and 2 rounds

What a ****** comment..

1st Duran and Leonard dominated their respective fights.

Then in the next sentence they were razor close fights.
