Rummy's Corner: Top 50 Most Spectacular KOs

(Double post...damn mobile phone)

 

I realize you're just doing your usual schtick here but as it has been pointed out many times Ward fought at LHW when he was a kid ffs. The fact he's fighting his next fight at 172 says something. If GGG starts fighting at 164 catchweight then he deserves this criticism, but he easily makes MW and always has.

Should we list all the examples of great fighters that didn't move up? smh

When you thought up this nickname you got just a little hard, didn't you?

 

Thank you kind sir. Now, do you want to debate boxing like we both have IQs above room temperature?

 

Triple Duck's ability to make 160 didn't prevent him from signing the contract to fight Baby Chavez @ 168. Why is that?

Sure, go right ahead...

Lol...

 

Great work as usual keep it up.

 

:rofl

 

I'm guessing because JCC Jr is a name people know and GGG thought he would win and get paid well?

Hagler, Monzon, Froch, any HW? Didn't BHop stay at MW for well over 50 fights before moving up...at 41 years old? This was after back to back loses at MW (read: not much to lose). If GGG is still boxing at 41 you can bet he will have dabbled in SMW by then. No doubt someone with a deeper knowledge could ramble off more names.

Granted, most guys seem to start low and naturally move up as they get older. Maybe sometimes to "be great" but probably more often because they no longer make their old weight as they get older.

 

Wasn't Pep a career featherweight? May be wrong.

 

I believe that is correct. Also Benny Leonard at lightweight.

Jake LaMotta at middleweight too (yes, he moved up after a losing his title at MW, after a long, tough career at one weight class and past his prime). He is lauded for being one of the greatest middle weights of all time, not one of the greatest weight class jumpers of all time.

Again, I'd like to point out that Crisco citing Bhop as an example is pretty laughable when trying to make this point.

 

Why you repeating the same thing the man said in the video?

 

they're siamese twins sharing the same pea-brain.

 

Nice Rummy, but there are 2 angles you haven't considered it seems.
1) Golovkin is actively trying to get the fight with Froch at 168
2) Ward might not be there at 168 for him, because he decides after the Smith fight (at 172) if he's moving up to 175 or stays at 168. Because he doesn't know if he can actually still make 168.
