Its hard to blame either guy for taking this fight $-wise, and its--really--hard to criticize it: former MW champ/current LHW champ/Living Legend...
168 may have been RJJ's most effective weight, though he moved up and still won titles at LHW and HW, as well; Joe-C, on the other hand, has...
The real sad part is that there is NO REASON these two shouldn't have met, in their primes. Joe-C seems to have aged better (boxing-wise), but...
I'd love to see this fight happen, even if Nard IS well over 40 years old--he's looked pretty good, at 175! Who else is Nard gonna fight? Chad...
I'd have to go with Dawson, on both counts.
RJJ holds W's over a PRIME BHop, a PRIME James Toney, a victory (while in obvious decline) over a pretty good Tarver, and beat a HW titleholder....
I like Pavlik, and would take JC over him, right now. I wouldn't say KP has "zero chance", being that this is boxing. Many thought he'd wilt...
:good Whatever else you say about KP, you gotta admit he's been in some GREAT, exciting fights, in his young career! Can the same be said of...
I see Joe-C winning by TKO--after Joe-C breaks his hand, and Joe's Welsh uncle (the ref) stops the fight in mid-pitty-patter flurry to KP's gloves.
All the things you mentioned are high on my pet-peeve list. One I'll add is weigh-ins 24 hours before fight time. Its utterly ridiculous that a...
Styles and circumstances make fights. Peter DID win, not in expected fashion, but aren't guys allowed to have an off-night? He clearly lost to...
From reading some of the stuff about this fight, I'm glad I didn't shell out $$$ to watch it. Me and my boxing buddies were very skeptical of...
I'm just glad the fight ended decisively--esp after hearing the bull**** scoring (two judges had JT up by 3 pts, and the other one had him up by...
Great fight, for both guys. Instant classic! Was rooting for Pavlik, and thought the judges scoring, up to the point of stoppage, was complete...
