    Do you think YOU could go far with a top trainer and cherry picking opposition?

    Whatever division that would fit you best. For me personally it would likely be Middleweight. Do you reckon, say you got a top coach to train you for six months and teach you the basic tricks and get a bit of sparring under your belt. How far do you reckon you could go with extra protective match making and cherry picking?

    These days you end up with all these "top undefeated prospects", hyped to the max but some of them have never been in a fight in their lives. It's all about social media following and going 15 or 20 fights undefeated. Look a little closer and the opponents are usually a bunch of hapless tomato cans who don't even train and just roll up on a few days notice.

    Say you were getting 6-8 weeks training before/between fights, it wouldn't be hard beating these kinda people who just turn up for a paycheck, don't even bring cornermen sometimes. They are basically hired losers. It would be near impossible to lose to those type of people.

        Went into another man's backyard and was widely written off and expected to get "PWND". Something most of those you bum off have never done.

          Davey Lemieux's back yard.

          Big deal.

          As if that's some great achievement.

          David Lemieux ain't never been ****.
          Glass jawed Alcine clowned wee David with ease...

          Just think about that.

              I wouldn't really call fall guys from the Charlie Zelenoff school of self-training "professional athletes". People act as if EVERY boxer from Lineal champions down to backwater shows are totally dedicated and live spartan lifestyles. Some of these men go into the ring after a few beers, smelling of cigarettes.

                Which fighters do you like? You should try making a few threads about them and talking about aspects of boxing that you have a positive interest in.

                  The last paragraph on "hired losers" got me rolling with laughter.

                  But with 6 months training, you won't be beating those guys. It will be a struggle, very competitive fight cuz those guys may not be dedicated but they train alot too cuz they can be "hired" anytime. Infact you will be among the hired losers you just described.

                  You think you can easily clean Dominic Wade in a fight like GGG did even with 6 months hard training? No way man. You will battle tooth and nail to a decision. There is a high chance he will even KO you. Lol.

                  Those hyped up fighters you mentioned have been training hard for years not 6 months.
