    Boxing24 posters wouldn’t score for their favorite fighter, would they?

    This guy’s a joke.

    Just go back a few pages.

    Look at where he’s said things like:

    “If you think that Graham beat Kalambay, then you must think that Canelo could have beaten Kalambay, as he had better wins than Graham”

    He’s been here 10 years, yet I’ve never seen him look at how any two fighters would have matched up stylistically.

    He never looks at that.

    He never looks at styles or gives hypothetical breakdowns based upon them.

    He’s a stat man.

    A Boxrec warrior.

    Ask him who’d win between Nunn and Canelo, and he’ll come back at you with some nice overall career stats.


    If ever you get a little frustrated debating him, just take this into account:


    You are debating a guy who last year said:

    “Floyd Mayweather would probably have beaten Marvin Hagler”

    Let’s disregard the three people who are trained to be professional scorers of boxing matches and sit ringside.

    3 professional judges yeah I'm sure Adalaide Birds, 118-110 score was real "professional" and legit and not corrupt at all. Why am I even wasting my time on this absolute childishness.

    It's obvious this guy just wants to instigate and bait, he's already had dig at me that I apparently can't score fights. Then when I provided actual stats, on the scoring of the fight amongst fans.

    He had no actual rebuttal, other than to try and bait me into needless back and forth.

    I'm all for different opinions and I like sharing thoughts, but to me it seems like he just likes to instigate. So in future I'm just gonna ignore his posts.

    BTW i'm sorry If my last post on this thread seemed hostile, I'm actually very friendly guy. And love to share thoughts with fellow boxing fans.

    But In my view this guy just likes to instigate, so you go back and forth with him for 100 pages. Like his other thread he created regarding Mayweather, Pacquiao, Duran.

    And now here with his replies here to me, so I choose to ignore him in future. No dispresct to anyone intended, but I have better things to do with my time.

    Sumbu would be P4P today. Or have at least a good shot. Then you look back further Imagine if someone like Archie Moore came into his own in the 80s-90s and brung all his skill he’d win the title from MW-HW. I’m probably kidding, maybe probably not.

    What’s interesting is that fights are scored by three judges, and the other two could’ve overridden Byrd in favor of GGG, but it ended up a draw no matter how many statistics you calculate from GGG fans.

    I think Mike is pretty popular here. He's my favorite fighter at least, but this was a clear win for Sumbu.

    I agree i think pretty much anyone who's seen the fight, and not just read up on Boxrec about it. And see two judges scored it close when it wasn't, would agree Kalambay totally nullified and outboxed McCallum. I thought personally it was a bit of masterclass from Kalambay, i actually had him winning 9-3. For me it's one of the best performances over an ATG in his prime.

    I'll say this - Canelo hits MIIIIIILES harder than McCallum.

    You just use your “expert eye” to construct false narratives and disregard resumes and size discrepancies.

    I don’t disregard anything.

    All of my posts are well thought out and are based on facts with the relevant context applied.

    You’re just a stat guy.

    No stylistic breakdowns.

    Nothing.

    Just a waste of time.
