This whole post is excuse-laden and moronic but this one really got me. Would you have the energy to get up and start pushing Futch out of the way after fighting in an arena well over 100 degrees? Plus, before Ibeabuchi-Tua, that set the record for most punches thrown in a Heavyweight bout. Ali was ready to quit as well, I guess he doesn't have the heart of a warrior either.
Yeah, but the point is that there's no subjectivity about that (unless you think that there's subjectivity about everything). Mendoza is scraping the bottom of the barrell for contrived excuses about everything. Fact!
Sometimes people become more concerned with winning an argument (even when it is entirely supposition as this case) than in shedding new light on an issue.
I see him beating both Klitschko's. Lewis and Bowe might have been a problem for him, though. Those two fights could go either way.
Wow Mendoza, you are the only one I have ever heard of in thirty years of studying this sport that plays down Frazier's heart and will... I wont go beyond saying here I think you are way off on this one ... Pete: Frazier not entering the tournment was a strategic move plain and simply. Who in the tournment do you feel would have defeated him ?
Nobody, that's my point. Yank said repeatedly that not only it wasn't right that Frazier fight against guys ranked above him. It wasn't really in their best interest, and Frazier and the team was fine with the keeping respect to the NY title. Also, I think deep down Frazier considered not entering out of respect for Ali who he thought was still the champ. Think you misconstrued what I said if you think I agreed with Frazier entering to avoid any fighter.
