Just go and browse your old posts. Go back as far as you can. Now skim until something silly stands out. Post that one in here. "I've always been an Oscar fan, and I can't think of a good thing to say about it really. He's taking cherry-picking to the next level in his old age. But then again, I don't feel sorry for Manny, and I don't feel sorry for the fans, as I suspect they'll both get what they came for. It's just that...DLH said after Floyd refused to stand his ground with him, he wanted wars, but instead of going after Paul Williams and Margarito, he's looking for Pac and Hatton. That ain't right. Oscar's faced all the best fighters, so I'm prepared to give him a lot of leeway, but Manny Pac was a step too far imo. Lost a lot of respect with me."
I don't see this as being "dumb" at all. Hoya indeed cherrypicked Pac in place of potentially bigger and more dangerous fights in and around his own weight class. Just because things didn't go as he planned doesn't change what his intentions were in making the fight.
I think he felt it was going to be a one sided blowout of Manny. A lot of people did because of the strength advantage we thought ODLH had. Thats what makes boxing exciting, the theater of the unknown sometimes.
When i was a newbie i said Michael Nunn was a paper champ. That's my most embarrassing, at least i'm admitting it.
i once said Willie Pep had the best jab i had ever seen and argued it was better than Peas which is blasphemy as far as im concerned now also i once said FMJ would beat Ray Leonard my first few months on ESB i made alot of stuff like this
On one thread I said Foreman would beat Tyson in a hypothetical matchup, on another I said the opposite. I wasn't even aware of it until both threads ended up on the front page. Funny, but I'm still unconvinced either way.
Same here. And I delete most of mine before hitting, "Submit Reply," yet still don't erase nearly enough. (My total post count should probably still be under 1,000.)
The dude knocked out Kalambay with one shot, who was probably the best at 160lbs at the time. I'll let you off. I'd like for you guys to beat this one. When I first became a fan, I thought Junior Jones was Jones Junior.
I don't know about linear, but I know Kalambay had beaten every Middeweight in the world practically, Graham, McCullum, Barkley, De Witt, but he was stripped of his title prior to fighting Nunn. I think both Nunn and McCullum were recognised as the best 2 Middleweights going in.
I once argued for days that Arguello would knock Duran out at 135. I said a lot of REALLY stupid **** on the thread, and personally, I'm glad that thread is way to old for anyone to drag up.
