Boxing fans who self contradict

Judah isnt a great win for Cotto. He was seen as a stay busy fight while Cotto waited for Margarito. The fight wasnt even suppose to happen if it wasnt for Margarito bitching out. And he was a great win for Tzyue because Judah was the favorite, undefeated and ready to break out into the mainstream. And Tzyue blew him out in 2 rounds.

 

Zab was about to be finished until he hit Floyd in the nuts and back of the head. You really don't think KT could beat Floyd do you?

 

On the DLH-PBF size issue. Many have stated that they started at the same weight. They didn't. PBF started at 130, DLH at 135. He dropped down for 2 fights to win the WBO 130lb title and defend it once. He then went back up to 135 to win the title there. PBF fought 20+ fights at 130, DLH 2.

 

Excellent point! I will admit that I knew Oscar didnt have a chance of beating Floyd and I don't think Floyd beating him was a big deal. Although I also don't think Oscar is as washed up as some make him out to be. Bottom line is Oscar is a cash cow and I can't knock anybody for fighting him at any time. He can KO me right now for 20 million! Oh and Floyd also called him out for years but everybody thought it was crazy. Oscar just didnt accept until he was so called over the hill.

 

I agree 100% plus the loss would look worse if Oscar was closer to his prime. I still think Oscar beats a lot of top fighters today though especially at 154.

 

Chavez wasn't ranked high on the p4p rankings when DLH beat him. KO magazine right before the fight didn't have Chavez on their dynamite dozen (top 12 p4p). Ring magazine on their year-end poll, at the end of 1995, had Chavez #8.

Most people knew he wasn't even the best 140 lb fighter at the time. Randall was. Chavez got a gift in the rematch and ducked Randall for a decade.

 

There isn't any contradiction if you look at it this way: Toney should be a natural middleweight or at most lightheavyweight, but his training habits are so bad that he ends up drained when he trains down to those weights. If he trained responsibly, it wouldn't be a problem and he'd fit into his natural weight perfectly.

 

i think no one has understood my statement.

oscar as good as he is would never been the fighter he was if he didnt have the fame. of being a olympian and came at a time when boxing didnt have a idol he fitted the bill perfectly...to the teeeee.

im not against his skills im against his motions outside the ring.

he didnt go up the rankings becuase he was above the rankings he was a celeb. every person knows his name and that he boxes and has a single out at hmv. he was above boxing which is what i hate.he didnt need rankings or have to fight anybody to go up the rankings he could fight for a title becuase he was oscar.and beacuase he never fought the mandatory or a challenger only the champion who was picketed into the firing line.people caed about oscar not the champion. sturm won against oscar as ood an effort oscar did he wasnt as slick or had the size advantage he had over other comp.chavez was tiny old and was 3 years away from a competative fight had not been on top form ages before hand

dont think i dont like oscar. he has alot of talent and skill i mean his amatuer record is impressive his left hook is explosive and his jab is 1 of the best.

but he never dominated a division.even lower level champions cleared it out but it just seemed to just pick his opponants 1 by 1 not fighting men who had clambered to the top.
