Ali Funeka v Joan Guzman

Guzman is probaby more naturally gifted than anyone from the last decase besides Calzaghe, Jones Jr and Tszyu.

His time has probably passed by now though.

No it hasn't! You can do this Joan!

 

Dunky your still spouting utter shite .... Scott Harrison was lucky Guzman didnt get in there with him, he would have schooled him. Harrison has to be the most ridiculous excuse for a world champion there has ever been, oh man i still remember that fight he had with Victor Polo, he totally struggled with Polo and then Marquez fought Polo and won every round, what a bum Harrison was , yet another British hypejob ..

As for Alex 'zero talent' Arthur, i can still envisage him being beaten to a pulp by Gomez, and it was the same shot over and over again, cant remember if it was the left hook or right hook but it was an embarrassment. He was knocked down and then he smiled at the camera like he was the man, what a dickhead Alex Artur is .. And then he gets beat by the limited Nicky Cook and blames weight problems, Arthur is a chump, like so many he talks a great fight but when it comes time to deliver he fails miserably .... Alex Arthur was touted for years as the next big thing in British Boxing but he ended up like Harrison, exposed as a totally limited idiot of a fighter who had nothing .. Harrison and his WBO belt, reminded me of Calzaghe with his WBO strap, taking the easy defences that the WBO road dishes up for 'domestic' fighters .... Harrison was lucky he never entered the ring with Marquez or Guzman, they would have absolutely destroyed him, as for Arthur v Guzman, i still laugh at the idea of that mismatch .......... Arthur and Harrison against anybody of any class is an absolute joke, so Dunky stop talking your ridiculous patriotic Scottish ****, Buchanan was a great fighter, Watt was a decent fighter but since these 2 guys, all you've had are bums with big mouths and zero talent .........:deal

 

Guzman is naturally talented, but i'd substitute Mayweather for Calzaghe .. Calzaghe was a hard working fighter with unbelievable stamina and a weak resume, he wasnt 'naturally talented', Tzsyu was a hard working fighter too who honed his incredible skills, but again he wasnt a 'naturally gifted' fighter ....

Naturally gifted fighters are guys like Roy Jones, Floyd Mayweather, Sugar Ray Leonard, Naseem Hamed, Pernell Whitaker .... etc

There is a Fluidity in the movement of 'Naturally Gifted' fighters that ordinary fighters dont have .... You would never say Hagler, Monzon, Pacquiao were 'naturally gifted' boxers, but they all worked hard, sharpened their skills and became great fighters, but with these guys its all about working to a rhythm and being able to take a shot to give a shot, wereas guys like Roy Jones, Floyd, Pernell and Ray Leonard are poetry in motion in boxing terms ..... I'd also add Don Curry to that list too, he was an aesthetically beautifully fluid fighter to watch, now that is natural talent ..

 

Just watched Campbell/Funegga for the first time, that one passed me by at the time. I'm not at all convinced Funegga didn't win that fight. I scored it the same as Harold Lederman who scored it 113-113, except I have Funegga winning round 3 which was blatantly his round.

All the rounds were easy to score, Campbell won 1, 2, 11 and 12 with two 10-8's so to me that was a poor decision because there wasn't the excuse 'they were close rounds'. Funegga's were all clear.

 

So you have to be a world class fighter to avoid being a fighter with zero talent??? :think

 

Let me just say this... Guzman gonna have to do something special to win this fight. I mean seriously special.

Funegga is a high-output guy, like 90 a round, and he throws triple jabs like they are nothing to maintain distance. He's 6'1, he's no bum skill wise, he rolls with the punches well on defence, throws correctly to head and body. Only time Campbell got any success was just walking right through and pounding away. Put it this way if he didn't get those knockdowns he's losing this fight by a schooling.

Guzman gonna have to do some seriously good moving and throw Funegga out of his rhythm with lead right hands and left hooks. He gotta cut Funegga's work-rate down and the only way to do that is either stay inside or circle well and throw punches that make Funegga think about putting that jab out there.

 

I'd like to see him with katsidis too.

 

Guzman UD

 

Big hairy testicles. Interesting you don't mentioned any other harrison fights except one of few where he never performed. Good one.

guzman's gay little shots would have bounced off Harrison as he steamed in.

 

Yeah but Harrison is like a snail. Guzman would just punch and move all day and severely outclass the tough, durable Scot.

 

he wouldn't have been be able to get round him to move.

 

Looking forward to it. Though there has to be only one winner. Joan "The Little Tyson" Guzman will win a UD

 

He ain't been Little Tyson since he was at 122.

 

Yeh i had funeka clearing winning a close decision against campbell.
Campbell only won the kd rounds and 1 or two more. also a kd does not always need to equal a 10-8.

But i feel guzman will defeat funeka, funeka hasnt fought anyone like guzman, he ko'd raheem, but guzman is on another level.
Guzman has fought big strong punchers before
