I have never seen video of TM in his early fights, but I get the idea from what I read about him on this board that most believe he was always on...
if you've posted the fight, I'd like to have the link. I've always thought Doug Jones was an excellent fighter. He looks like he could be a...
It has been my experience that nobody wants to wear the headgear, (mostly because they can't see out of it) and the one wearing it want to change...
I'm not going to get into a discussion with you about boxing. I suppose I should be flattered that you read my posts, but unfortunately I don't...
For people who don't have confidence yet in their defensive ability, the headgear could be a good thing. If you squeeze your eyes shut when your...
The only advantage that headgear gives a fighter is it helps to prevent cuts from head butts. Other than that it reduces the fighter's vision,...
I had only seen Butterbean vs. Mitch Rose and I was not impressed at all with BB. In this video, BB did things that I didn't think he could do....
Shows that if you stick out your jab and bring your hand back to your waist, things are not going to end well. Dykes never brought his hand back...
Didn't the article posted above give the 3 point shot as the reason for the NBA players becoming smaller on average than they were 10 years ago?...
How would they determine an average height anyway? Don't they measure the players now? In past eras they did stories about exaggerated listed...
Carnera was a big athletic person, but he looks like an athlete trying to box. He looked like a football or basketball player trying to imitate a...
Not stopping Marion Wilson should not count against Rahman. NOBODY EVER stopped Marion Wilson. Wilson took most of his fights on short notice,...
Saw both of them fight as amateurs, it was obvious from watching them that they were both going to be top pros. I think anybody that saw them...
IMO, wearing "loaded gloves" or having illegal hand wraps is not possible without assistance from the boxing commission of the state where the...
Probably not. Frazier threw a lot of left hooks, Young tended to keep his right hand in front of his face instead of against his right jaw/right...
Excellent post. Ali's opponents did become "great" because they fought him or extended him. It was/is a "cult", he was a good fighter, but he...
A fighter's power can vary from minute to minute, a lot depends on what he is trying to do. I watched some Jimmy Young recently so I'll use him as...
Exactly. I've never been around a fighter who was afraid of his opponent. Some are nervous/afraid that they won't perform as well as they are...
Rahman is definitely the bigger fighter. Rahman turned pro at 22 years old weighing 234 pounds and his reach is listed at 82". He fought 61...
He tries so hard to make himself relevant to Carter's career. He wants to be remembered as a boxer. He reminds me of the guys who hang around at...
The people who picked GF have a 48-3 lead in the poll, but there are still 3-4 people who picked GF who are bothered that 3 of us think that JBS...
I've seen a lot of Smith's fights, I was replying to someone who said that Smith threw an arm punch hook when he was being aggressive. You need...
We aren't watching the same thing. Smith's punching against Witherspoon, and Weaver when he was aggressive was effective, mostly short, direct...
What do you see that is wrong about Smith's punching technique/form?
If Smith listened to me I'd have him attack Foreman like he did Witherspoon/Weaver etc. I don't think Foreman could take that storm, and even if...
