Biggest Myths in Boxing

When you make that kind of money fighting other people why would you choose to indanger your brothers health instead?

 

You should be banned for that avatar, really.

 

that fighters take punches like they did in the movie rocky. huge myth.

that physical strength and big muscles make u punch hard...another myth.

that duran said 'no mas'....myth.

 

That old school fighters are better than modern day fighters.

"But...but old school trainers died and took special techniques with them!"

Just stop with that ****.

 

Fair point agree with you

but i dont think they make that knid of money fighting the mormecks and thompsons, probably have to fight 3-5 fights against that sort of opponent to make that sort of money surely that would be more damaging

 

Manny Pacquiao only fights the best most chalanging oppoents out there, and would never munuplite the rules of the sport (twice) to improve his lagacy.

 

THAT NASEEM HAMED WAS A GREAT FIGHTER.I JUST LAUGH ALL DAY LONG,lol!!!!!!!

 

-Muhammad Ali was being dominated by George Foreman before Foreman tired. Ali was landing the cleaner shots upstairs throughout the fight, Foreman was doing the superior bodywork.

-The term "pound-for-pound" was invented for Sugar Ray Robinson. It was probably popularized by him, but writers called fighters like Tony Canzoneri and Bob Fitzsimmons the best "pound for pound" before Ray.

-Marvin Hagler was an aggressive, come-forward brawler. Sugar Ray Leonard was a fleet-footed dancer. Watch their fights and you'll see how they fought in different styles depending on the opponent/situation.

-Aaron Pryor was ducked by Sugar Ray Leonard and the other big names (thanks Legendary Nights). Not only was he in a different division, he was offered a career high payday to fight Leonard, but wanted more money. He was later offered more to face Roberto Duran, but declined it when he had managerial issues to deal with.

-Meldrick Taylor went from a future ATG to a ruined spent force after Julio Cesar Chavez (thanks again Legendary Nights). Diminished? Yes. Ruined? He had the 2nd best win of his career a year AFTER losing to Chavez, in a division he really wasn't suited for. I've never heard a solid argument on how he was gonna be this ATG with his style, weight problems at 140, and the serious talent level at 147.

 

-Boxing has had one title until the more recent alphabet stuff. False. Since the 1920s, there's always been at least 2 major titles. Back in the days, the NYSAC and NBA USUALLY had the same champ, but not always.

 

What's the deal with the no sex before a fight ? Does that really affect performance *

 

Are those buttboys cheap?
I figured I don't have enough for quality call girls, but twinks should be less expensive right?

 

no mtyhs

 

That somehow speed is inversely proportional to power in a punch.

F=mass*acceleration

Yes a lot of fast punches are arm punches, losing mass, but all else being equal a faster punch will be more powerful one.

 

I heard a vey scandalous rumour about Cus D'amato that is apparently common knowledge in boxing circles. If true it more than blows his mythical reputation...but I shan't repeat incase it is bollocks.

 

I've heard about it a few different times also on a few different occasions
