Say what you will about Duran, at least he made it clear he didn't want to fight. He was honest about it, sort of. :lol: I'd rather be honest and...
Based on what, solely the fact that Hopkins refused to get up? :) Hopkins CHOOSE not to get up and to remain on the canvas. It's a slippery slope;...
He went to prison, yo. Plus, he lost to Ali and Foreman during the 70's. Instant career-booster.
I agree, if it happened to a "clean" boxer, then I could've given him the benefit of the doubt. But not Hopkins, he's been pulling girlie tactics...
Yeah I'd only skipped over the first pages, my bad. Still a bit pissed off about last night's fight I guess. :twisted: By the way, to the thread...
All I'm saying is don't take weight lifting too far if your main interest is still competitive boxing (which is not the case for me). Watch Byrd...
I made a conscious decision to "retire" from boxing, wanted to stay busy in the gym, so went for weight lifting. Then just do boxing training...
:good He took a gamble and lost. If Hopkins was having his way with Dawson, then no way he would've pulled this ****. Hopkins took a way out...
What's the point of lifting if you're only looking for 1-2lbs of extra muscle?
Don't go purely weightlifting. It will bulk you up, make you look better, but also put you in a higher weight class against guys who are naturally...
I will say that I don't like where this is going. Cintron pulling out, Haye asking the ref to help him and go down, Dirrel slipping to the canvas...
100% fake. Hopkins has annoyed me for years with this ****, particularly against Calzaghe. The referee made a correct decision by not calling foul...
Why should he? Hopkins had his chance, then quit, and might have lowered Dawson's reputation because of it.
He was a nightmare to face. In my limited amateur experience, I wasn't too fond of aggressive sluggers who wouldn't let you breath. But there was...
Then you also have to imagine Hagler flat-out quitting in the rematch against Spinks, because Michael was making smily faces. Hagler would never...
