The idea of the thread is to share opinions and thoughts you had about the game that you now look upon and think, "I knew **** all". ...I used to think it was Roy Jones Jr who held two victories over Marco Antonio Barrera. ...Who's next?
When I was about 11 I thought Jeff Fenech would beat Mike Tyson on points in a 3 round fight because he was smaller and quicker.

At least you only got Roy Jones Jnr and Junior Jones mixed up which is understandable for a young bloke just getting into boxing. What the **** I was thinking favouring Fenech over Iron Mike I don't know.Tyson looked like a wrecking ball whereas Jeff looked like an under fed adolescent. Dumb.atsch
I thought Ray Leonard would knock out Napoles after looking at Napoles Boxrec And seeing he'd been 'stopped' a few times I now go by footage and/or articles only, and use Boxrec only if I forget someones name. I see no way of gaining knowledge through that thing.
I used to think 'old timers' were just tough, and that there was a mythical cut off point where 'real' technique started :rofl
Same here Fleaman. I uploaded the first Ohashi/Chang fight earlier as well mate. No doubt you've seen it, but just spreading the word on the little guys.
Ditto. I used to think no one could fight before Jack Dempsey,based on watching Jack Johnson fight (Surprise surprise some fighters were boring back then as well). By the way did you get around to looking at Owen Moran-Battling Nelson on youtube? (It was you I recomended it to wasn't it?) Moran looked the goods on film in that one.
Oh, **** yeah! I will have to check that out Griff :good Addie, Chang-Ohashi 2 was in poor quality with bits missig before, kudosfor putting up your version. Who'd ya get it off, I wanna get Chang-Tokashiki in HQ if it's out there, which I don't think it is to be honest.
