you said Ali was pillow fisted? he had a 60 percent ko percentage..not bad at all
Lopez has beat??? you slam proven boxers but try to praise someone who just a year ago was considered a joke?? who has he beat that changed peoples minds??"not saying he isnt a decent boxer" But why are on here trying to make him so elite, hall of famer?
Lopez has 15 damn fights and you are literally now trying to make him better then Frazier and Tarver?
How many rounds did he go with chinny Ken Norton and never secure a KO?
Seriously dude, watch the Mildenberger fight. It's a great summation of Ali's offense.
I'm not trying to be a ****,but this is simple stuff everyone should know. I don't mind explaining things, but this is the kinda stuff you should come to a conversation already knowing.
Lopez is very dangerous. It was obvious even before the Commney fight, but that match proved it beyond a doubt. If you can't see it,I don't know what to tell you. I can't understand it for you.Comment

Too bad no one taught you to slip or duck punches. Maybe then you'd be able hold it together today in a conversation.Comment

Lomachenko looks sublime, man, unfortunately greatness more usually requires that you beat someone great... which is big ask in this age of internet cynicism, niche popularity and 1 or 2 fights a year. If fans acknowledge no 'greats' any more how can we produce 'all time greats'?
Nah, as I suggested earlier Boxing's eyes are perpetually turned backwards, always reminiscing over a fantastical golden age when men were real men and greats fought for pride and honour... the death of boxing is proclaimed every single generation with as much predictability as every generation of men bemoan the effiminacy and lack of character of the younger generation (and I suspect for much the same reasons).
Like I said before, best leave this shet to the historians of the future. I suspect when all is said and done Lomachenko will ultimately be seen as one of the real standouts of this generation when compared to his contemporaries, but as of right now Loma, and every other fighter of this generation will suffer by comparison to fighters of boxing's 'glorious' past.
This is a beautiful post. I'm as big a jock rider of old timers as anyone. But I can also evaluate them realistically. The idea that old time fighters are holy cows for so many fans really burns me up.Comment

When fans of his mention his amateur career as part of his boxing legacy, the Loma haters insist that amateur fights don't count. But when you mention Tank who has more pro fights and is a former champ, they are quick to point out that Loma had way more amateur fights and Tank is "too young" or "too inexperienced (even though Tank had 225 amateur bouts). I guess amateur fights only matter when someone wants to shyt on him or defend another fighter.Comment
