a person who has not laced a pair of gloves in his life is calling a pro boxer a bum.atsch hey ralph why dont you turn pro and show us all?
Oh i forgot that Buster douglas was a vegetarian monk.. who lived off nut cutlets and rocket leaves..
Seems like there is a lot of that going on these days, Relentless. Lots of threads calling boxers "bums", "wimps", etc. I'm always surprised to see so much of that on a boxing fan message board. :huh
We usually disagree, but agree w/you here. But what ralph is posting is common fare here on ESB. Is this any different than internet dipshits calling Wlad a "coward" or Lewis "gay" or vice versa or both :-( I'd like to see these web "gangstas" say that to even an average HW f2f, never mind a top HW. :deal Don't see you chiding posters who say idiotic things about fighters like Wlad. :think
Yeah just like the first fight right, or did you go away and cower after that incorrect prediction too. I don't call cheating and then getting brutally beat down anything but a total exposure, which is what Wlad did to Peter. He let Peter cheat all night long by hitting him behind the head and still made him look like an amateur.
Both parties could say each other cheated, this isnt checkers its boxing of course fouls happen, they happen in every sport your learn to deal with it, if you dont you deserve to lose or in boxing get knocked out. I was taught in boxing when someone fouls you foul them harder, Wlad couldnt say **** about the punches cause he put his head down, I mean come on what do you think is going to happen. The first fight was good and competitive, both men hurt the other one thats just hope they fight again sometime soon.
No when another man fouls you, you immediately foul him back. Usually what that does is makes him think next time he wants to fight dirty, in the ring you got to be the bully in there. When a man turns his back to you or puts his head down you keep punching until the ref calls the fight or warns your oppenent for putting his head down and or illegally turning away from punches.
Peter looks to be in the best shape...fitness is not all about weight...you can be ripped but that doesnt guarantee stamina...stamina is about cardio and you can't look at a fighter and see where his stamina is. In light of those facts, Peter looks to be in the best shape...he may or may not be tho..
Yeah but hes right, usually when a fighter turns back to you that means hes getting hurt and doesnt want to fight anymore, after that its up to the ref to step in and stop the fight. Im not sure If you boxed or that, but the main thing in the ring is you always got to be in control you never want to let your oppenent dictate the pace of the fight.
with all of the nonsense that has ensued, and the early start of training camp for peter, he may have peaked early; but, if you're putting money on the fight, peter is still the best bet.
Remember the Thrilla in Manilla? Two old guys way past their prime came to fight. Peter and McCline won't look anything like that. They are nothing more than bums and we all know it.
