Resumes that begin to fall apart under a microscope

Took a while.

 

Some interesting and thought-provoking stuff in this thread and some real good points made. I would echo those that say almost anyone's resume falls apart under real close scrutiny, especially if you have an agenda about them.

Honestly, there are precious few in history (Greb, Langford, Armstrong, Robinson, Charles, etc) whose resumes no one would question. Apart from that, everyone is fair game. And frankly, praising only those upper tier gods seems a bit exclusionary and short-sighted.

 

There is no accounting for crooked judges. Holy NEVER looked like beating LL.

 

Agreed. :good The draw's among the worst robberies in my lifetime, IMO. (born in '82)

 

Then you are a lucky young man, and hopefully you will have a long time left to go. Enjoy every day of it.

One tip. Study the difference between objectivity, and subjectivity. On these boards you will see a lot of subjective opinions portrayed by their authors as objective facts.

Guessing I didn't miss anything too critical then? :yep

I defer to our resident Hopkins scholar.

 

Thats not true at all. Kessler was stopped because Wlad beat the absolute chit out of him.
Kessler could never get in range. Wards jab busted up his face.

Kessler had the same problem with Greens jab before he one shotted him out for the count.

It was a flush right hand that ended the Ward fight so how can you say he 'LITERALLY stopped him with a headbutt'. Thats completely made up.

Kessler was de moralized for taking such an ass whooping. He had never been schooled like that in his life and was happy to find away out.

Frochs worst ever performance was against Groves in England.
Talyor was one of his best fights , in America.

Because he fought nothings but cans. His level of opposition was the reason for that. Notjing to do with being at home.
He travelled much further than the States to pick up a win against Mundine in the furthest side of Australia.

He fights in America for American audiences . Every fighter wants to be on ST and HBO. You have it , you don't give it up. Why does't this apply to Mayweather?

Froch and Kessler are good wins , as is Arabham, Dawson and winning the Super 6.
Nobody is bragging about it. Ward gets more stick than praise so I don't know where you're coming from.

 

i agree regarding Tyson, it might sound controversial but i believe there is not much difference between Lewis and Tysons resume and Lewis always gets accolades for his resume, yet Tyson gets ****ted on for beating alot of the same guys.

I was going to start a comparison thread on it, when i get around to it.
