Controversial statements on boxing that you stand by...

The first fight was ridiculous. The 2nd fight closer.

 

Vlad "was" drugged, actually should not have been controversial, esp. with all the proof, read the Judd letter, etc.

 

:yep Well, I haven't seen much of him anyways. I've only watched a couple of fights and read stuff on him here and there, and that's pretty much the opinion of him I formulated. There isn't much on him out there, so I assumed I knew the bare minimum on him.

Well, I threw the Pone-man in just to give a fighter on the opposite end of the spectrum(if you will). Each to their own I suppose, I don't particularly enjoy watching him either, but I have a kind of admiration for the way in which, despite lacking any sort of world class speed, power, reflexes, etc, he was able to get by at such a high level going by his ring IQ and the skill he owned in a technical sense.

I'd probably put a good few ahead of him, but nevertheless I do rate him for that reason, just thought I'd offer up a different type of guy.

Nice.

There's obviously a tonne of guys that could conceivably be listed, Ezzard, Finito Lopez, B-Hop, Carlos Ortiz, El Radar Benitez(who, if he wasn't so unfortuitous to be around with the likes of Leonard and Hearns, would be held up to a much higher extent), Ike Williams, Don Curry(?), Sanchez, Joey Archer, and so on. As I say, an awful lot, depends on who I watch and when where I'd probably put them really.

 

I basically agree with ALL of your post.

-Indeed, not much else out there about Masao
-you seem to rate Kingpetch much as I do. One thing I've always liked about him is hos ability to work his right uppercut in: Duran-esque.
-So many great operators it is indee hard to just provide a few you admire. Charles is a guy I wax lyrical about whenever I get the chance. So many guys on that level that if we were to list all that met this lofty standard we'd probably be on here all day I agree wholeheartedly with all the guys you mentioned, all sublime operators (in their own way) and Tunney is another guy that leaves me awestruck when viewing him :good and Chang, of course ;-)

 

nigel benn had more chance than anyone of stopping a prime rjj

 

I think that Carl Froch will arse **** Andre Ward early doors...I don't intend justifying my comment

 

Berto-Ortiz wasn't even the best fight of that weekend.

 

Yordan-John.

 

Dan rafael is a fat ****!:twisted:

I wonder if thats controversial:think

 

Valuev would beat Fury.

 

Too factually accurate to stoke up controversy.

 

deal:deal

 

A statement of an absolute truth can't really be considered controversial

 

Dan thinks its a glandular problem.

Yep. A fight which also sparked the greatest RBR in IB RBR history.
