10. Will the heavyweight division ever be the dominate force in boxing again?

11. Greatest "one fight ruined him" boxer of all time?

They don't exist. Myth conjured up by desparate fans to explain away guys like McClellan, Bowe, Lacy etc. getting exposed.

12. Will we ever get to see it?

Yes. It was decided 5-6 years ago that it would happen. We are at the last part of an elaborate build up.

These are the kinds of questions that a casual boxing fan would ask, but okay, I'll have a go at it....

1. Naw

2. **** this question

3. Don't know

4. Naw

5. Nope

6. Taylor

7. Tougher, not necessarily better.

8. Douglas if he came in shape.

9. Naw

10. Sure

11. Vargas

12. Don't know, don't really care.

 

1. Was Zab Judah prematurely stopped vs Tyszu?

No

2. Most overrated fighter of all time?

Hmmm, people may not like this but I'd got with Tyson. I love him and an animal in his prime but to have him in all time lists of top HW's is way of the mark.

3. Did Margarito use illegal wraps vs Cotto?

In my opinion, no.

4. Is careful matchmaking the primary reason for Pac's success over the last 5 years?

No

5. Is Floyd Mayweather Jr. the most technically sound fighter of all time?

Ha, no.

6. Who deserved to win, Taylor or Chavez?

Chavez

7. Are Golden Age fighters better than fighters of today?

Some are, some arent.

8. Immediate Tyson-Douglas rematch...who would have won?

Tyson

9. Is Joe Calzaghe an ATG?

Yes. But probably somewhere around #125(ish)... (havent done an actual counted list so willing to be proved wrong)

10. Will the heavyweight division ever be the dominate force in boxing again?

It can be, just needs some depth

11. Greatest "one fight ruined him" boxer of all time?

Davey Moore

12. Will we ever get to see it? (I really shouldn't have to explain this )

If the money's right, yes.

 

1 No.
2 RJJ.
3 Sure did.
4 No, but it helps.
5 Maybe. Definitely up there with Whitaker and Pep.
6 Chavez.
7 Ugh, I hate that question. So many factors, hard to answer. Debate can be entertaining, though.
8 Not sure, IIRC there was a stylistic problem for Tyson.
9 Nah...
10 Hell if I know.
11 Mancini comes to mind. It's a fight he won convincingly, ironically.
12 No.

 

1. Was Zab Judah prematurely stopped vs Tyszu?
Yes, he should be given the full 10 count

2. Most overrated fighter of all time?
Julio Cesar Chavez

3. Did Margarito use illegal wraps vs Cotto?
Dont know

4. Is careful matchmaking the primary reason for Pac's success over the last 5 years?
No, the cynics would argue he should of fought J.Diaz,Campbell and Casamayor instead of Cotto,Hatton, and Margarito.

5. Is Floyd Mayweather Jr. the most technically sound fighter of all time?
Defensively yes but that doesnt mean his defense is impregnable.

6. Who deserved to win, Taylor or Chavez?
Taylor

7. Are Golden Age fighters better than fighters of today?
Some are a lot of the 80s fighters mainly but anyone pre 1960 gets overrated up the ass in here. It's funny how you hear these clowns excuse it to with the "Oh if he had today's food and training routine he would be dominant" yeah....im sure if Jesse Owens had today's food and training routine he would dominate Usain Bolt too. :roll:

8. Immediate Tyson-Douglas rematch...who would have won?
Tyson. The Tyson that fought douglas was unmotivated and unprepared while Douglas was the very opposite but yet the fight was very competitive and Tyson almost won too.

9. Is Joe Calzaghe an ATG?
Yes, but a very weak ATG. In 5 years time I expect him to be thrown off every respectable ATG list because Ward,Froch or Bute will surpass his accomplishments and take over his title as best 168 fighter ever.

10. Will the heavyweight division ever be the dominate force in boxing again?
Cant say, I lean towards nope because mainstream is more aware of the smaller weights now thanks to DLH,Pac,Floyd and MMA.

11. Greatest "one fight ruined him" boxer of all time?
Taylor will be a popular pick but Ill say Z Gorres

12. Will we ever get to see it? (I really shouldn't have to explain this :bbb
Yes

 

1. no
2. Evander Holyfield...his record would probs be 30-24 if it wasnt for the roids
3. yes
4.yes
5.up there with the best
6.chavez
7.no way, they would be hammered
8.douglas
9.yes
10. probably
11. prince naseem
12.yes
