its true. it was prime hagler but he fought terrible that night, was tentative and cautious and haven't figured why. The other thing is that Duran is no middleweight. did you see the sims fight? Even sims beat him and Sims is kind of mediocre. In other words, Duran was no threat at 160. A good opponent but at 32, and ring worn, that's all he could be. Though there was nothing wrong with Hagler physically as in the leonard fight, he wasn't assertive as in the Obel fight a year before. The way Tommy came out with Duran it showed the way to win and shut up the newspaper critics is to get him the hell out of there quick. The way I did to that piece of garbage Woddy.
I think Rooster has truly been owned by the best and the worst ESB has to offer. He has no more amunition in his arsenal. He is a thoroughly beaten poster.
Don't know the principals (or the complete story in this thing) but certaintly don't see how the rooster was owned:huh Enlighten me:good
I feel compelled to comment on the title of this thread. Red Rooster has yet to be defeated. I see no evidence that he has been defeated as of late, nor do I see many on the horizon capable of defeating him. Of course, he is easily toyed with. :smooch
Just because he keeps regurgitating the same crap over and over, doesn't mean that he hasn't been licked in debate. I think that making a claim such as " leonard wasn't shot against Norris ", speaks for itself, depite what angles he trys to take to back his points.
Just because he embraces the act of regurg doesn't mean that he has been licked either. You fail to recognize what to me is so blatantly obvious. Of course, you are to him, good fun.
Well Riddick Bowe was a good fighter who only lost once bty decision in his career to an all time great fight whom he beat twice. He also defeated several very good rated prospects and contenders in their prime such as Coetzer, Seldon, Hide, Gonzalez, Donald and a few others. I don't personally believe that he's a top ten guy nor even top 15, but I can't condemn someone as being an idiot for that reason alone. My main issue with Rooster is that he purposefully stirs the pot by throwing out points that I don't even think he believes to be true, like Leonard being anywhere near his best against Norris, or Dokes being able to beat Holyfield in his earlier years. This is clearly trolling behavior.
I believe it all right just as I believe in the high flying Bowe. You missed reading my article "Why Bowe is so bitching".
I know I haven't said this in probably 48 hours or so, but just to keep on top of things, I think I'll repeat it now: THE ENEMY OF ESB HAS BEEN DEFEATED. ROOSTER HAS BEEN THOROUGHLY SCHOOLED......
Don't buy into their lies Warrior. Regurgitate is what the other side does. I don't regurgitate. I restate-facts that is. And the fact is Terry whipped Leonard at his own game--speed. Notice how ineffective those flurries were? The crowd came to see the master school the upstart but the leonard didn't really know what he was getting into. Taking on the young lions got him into a whole lot of ****.
Could you post this article again my man as I'm very interested in how you can rate Bowe so highly. It can't be his quality of opposition as apart from the great (albeit much smaller) Evander Holyfield his resume is thin.Lennox Lewis (who he **** his pants at the thought of fighting),Mike Tyson,Ray Mercer,Michael Moorer,Tommy Morrison,Oliver McCall,Frank Bruno are just some of the decent contempories he didn't meet.Wins over the likes of washed up Pinklon Thomas,Tyrell Biggs and Tony Tubbs (a loss some say) aren't all that impressive and neither are wins over glass jawed Bruce Seldon and drug addicted Bert Cooper. So that's a bust for Big Daddy. It can't be his title reign as he only could manage a feeble two successful defenses.It's hardly Joe Louis stuff is it? And who were those successful defenses over?Washed up drug addict Michael Dokes and old,washed up,journeyman Jesse Ferguson that's who.Not exactly the best opposition out there was it? Yet another criteria for greatness that Riddick doesn't meet. It can't be his longevity either as his career only encompassed 43 fights if you include his tragic comeback which by modern standards isn't too bad but by your standards is not long enough.This is based on your continual criticism of the brevity of Ray Leonards career which was a scant three fights less than Big Daddy could manage and Ray fought in way more title fights than Riddick did. So yet again Riddick doesn't do enough to achieve greatness. To be honest I think Bowe was possibly the most overrated fighter of the 90's as he was continually touted as the best heavyweight in the world by the likes of Ring magazine but after the first Holyfield fight he didn't really do that much.His victories over Herbie Hide and Jorge Luis Gonzalez got written up as some sort of evidence of Bowe's ability but in reality showed only how poor his standard of opposition was.Even his fight with Andrew Golota was thought to be a gimme for Big Daddy over a green,mechanical European Heavyweight.We all know how wrong that proved to be as Golota proved to be Bowe's superior in every way (except in intelligence...maybe) and for mine Bowe's bubble got burst for good with these fights. So that said I'm confused as to how you can possibly rate Big Daddy so highly on the back of all the evidence to the contrary against his so called greatness.Seriously I think you are just trolling with this Bowe love,but I'm open minded enough to carefully consider your views on it,if you can back it up with hard facts (which I doubt that you can).
