your controversial boxing opinions?

Agreed. Yeah there have been far, far worse robberies but it wasn't the razor thin close fight that some people make it out to be. Dirrell won comfortably.

Here are mine, maybe some of them are not so controversial on ESB though.


Vic Darchiniyan is a horrible boxer to watch, he has the ugliest, most frustrating to watch style I've ever seen.

Ricky Hatton against Tszyu was a wrestling match and the referee let him get away with way too much. He out wrestled him and used illegal tactics which severely taints the win.

The younger version of Shane Mosley is over-rated. He wasn't as good as people say he was. This does not mean he wasn't good, before anyone starts throwing a tantrum like a *****. Yes I've seen the first DLH fight, and no I don't think Shane looked unbeatable. I think if Oscar had used the jab more consistently and been less cautious of Mosley's power, it could've been a comfortable win for him just like the second fight unofficially was.

Malignaggi is a tougher fight for Khan than Marquez

 

I will go to my grave believing that Jermain Taylor beat Pavlik in the second fight.

 

That's ****ing absurd. Mosley has a clear win over a prime DLH, a KO of Margarito, and a near shutout of Collazo. Cotto has wins over Quintana, Judah, Mosley, and Clottey. Mayweather's resume at 147-Mitchell, judah, Baldomir, Hatton, and JMM. He has NO ****ing case RIGHT NOW, although that could change.

 

what a load of crap

 

Jeff Fenech would have beaten Morales, Barerra, 122-126 Pac and Marquez.

 

Dirrell is very talented & not a 'runner'. Froch fight wasn't close.
Margarito deserves another chance, never fully proven that he was 100% knowledgeable about the situation.
Calzaghe = ****.
Drug testing needs to be improved
Me = Future ATG

 

Actually, I have DLH winning two of the last four.

And saying he won atleast one is not contreversial, because anyone who says DLH lost the 9th needs to follow another sport.

 

Not sure exactly how controversial they are but here goes;

Joe Frazier, Joe Louis and Tyson would have beaten both Klitschko's (this is probably only controversial on ESB)

Darchinyan and Hatton for the most part, are borderline un-watchable

Hamed is severely underrated on ESB

The standard of judging is worse in America than in Europe

Margarito, loaded gloves or not, would never have won more than 2 rounds against Floyd

Kessler and Ward would both beat Bute handily

That's all I can think of for now.

 

Hearns Leonard II hearns won

 

Hey, I love Sugar Ray Leonard, but even he didn't consider himself as the greatest of all time. He had this to say...

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]"Someone once said there was a comparison between Sugar Ray Leonard and Sugar Ray Robinson. Believe me, there's no comparison. Sugar Ray Robinson was the greatest."[/FONT]

I have to agree. Also, don't forget about Harry Greb.

 

How are some of these opinions controversial? Even Leonard says that Tommy won the second fight.

 

Here is a controversial opinion that I have, though it isn't a strong one. I had Trinidad winning vs. Oscar De La Hoya, 115-113. It was a close fight. To those who say De La Hoya dominated Trinidad, watch the fight again. It was a close win for either guy. If someone had Oscar winning close, I won't argue with that. But, if someone had Oscar winning like 7 rounds to 3, they need their head examined.

 

The hopkins fight I find very suspicious and his little fist pounding thing looked like it was forced and bad acting. The paquaio fight I believe he genuinely thought it would be an easy fight and in the forbes fight he didnt look very good in my opinion so I think he gave it all he had given the circumstances. The mayweather fight would have been cutting it pretty close if he wanted to throw it because he won on one judges card.

 

Margarito is not a cheater
Floyd Maywheater jr. fought,old,not prime, not in shape,not in their natural wheight fighters in the last 7-8 years.

 

larry f'n holmes is the greatest heavweight in history!!! He presents the toughest matchup for any other fighter in history.
