    Getting drilled while gassing out tends to cause that too.

    Yeah, but he wasn't all that gassed when he got KO'd cold. There's nothing egregious about suggesting that, maybe, just maybe a guy having his head operated on a few months before a boxing match, may have had something to do with his punch resistance not being up to par.

    They may have taken the tumor out through his nose while he was awake, which would be pretty minor.

    Yeah it was minor, but it still probably isn't a good idea to be repeatedly hit in the head that soon afterward, because, you know, its kind of not a GOOD IDEA to be hit in the head in general.:lol:

    I was a teenager at the time, but I remember thinking Lucian Bute looked unbeatable :(

    Enzo Macrinelli too. I obviously have a thing for big punchers.

    M.Jones I understood why many picked him- he's likeable. I doubted he'd be around for long along with Austin Trout. Chad Dawson...uhh.:xqw
    He did put on a clinic against Adamak. But his first loss, I realize wasn't a fluke. He had a chink in his armour Changing trainers over and over and from bad chad to awesome chad.....I knew it was downhill from there.

    I don't know if Canada hyped Bute, but he sure did have a nice bodyshot. Save from Andrade and Cobra'd by the Cobra...downhill from there.

    I remember seeing a knockout reel on the television before one of his bouts, and thinking he looked deadly. I DKSAB now, but I even more DKSAB back then, and I was easily impressed. A classic case of failing after stepping up.

    Oh, and before I'd ever seen the A Team, I remember thinking that Mr T was meant to be unbeatable, based on his image and reputation. Then I watched the very first episode, and he got monstered. I didn't watch any more A Team after that.

    Gary Russell Jr: I was sure he would go on to be a future P4P king post Manny and FMJ but booooy was I wrong! What a wasted talent

    Let’s see. What fighters have I hyped...

    Dubois
    Tyson Fury
    Wilder
    Mladen Miljas
    Hrgovic
    Teslenko

    You could say Fury has failed, but he kind of did live up to the hype. Just for too briefly.

    I guess Teslenko. He’s just doing ****ing nothing.

    There are probably more I’m forgetting.

    Nah not at all, it was all based on his picking apart of a shot Ricky Burns to be fair. I realised Burns was done but still came out convinced Indongo possessed real class, to the point where I thought he'd give Crawford a decent fight.

    True. I really liked the kid when he was up and coming, a well mannered decent young man.
