Controversial statements on boxing that you stand by...

sorry, heads all over the place today, thats twice in this thread:yep

i should get a beer

 

Calzaghe beats prime Hopkins

 

He is.

I never said he was top five or anything like that. If you think of the great fighters from the 5 divisions, you can't tell me he isn't in amongst them. He gets look past because he's a modern fighter, but I assure you in years to come when people's thoughts aren't clouded by the Darchinyan debacle he'll be talked of as highly as most of them. In terms of overall ability he's up there, and his record isn't exactly too shabby either.

Mention Anselmo Moreno and underappreciated in the same sentence again and I'll tie your fallopian tubes in a knot.

 

Easy. :hey

 

Margarito or Cotto?? Oh another is I think Margarito is innocence personified but his trainer is a cheating **** head.

 

I loved Margs mate, but I 100% believe he was a cheat. He doesn't he have the same pop in his punches and has lost his snap all of a sudden since. I dont think he did it from the start, just after Williams fight.

Plaster of paris wouldn't affect the wraps in any way at all.

The sweat produced within the wraps/gloves wouldn't be anywhere near enough to make the plaster react, and even if it did, it will neither be thick enough nor have enough oxygen to ''go off''.

Even if it did, the first jab that lands and the thing would fall apart and leave some harmless paste/crumbs in the gloves.

I'd imagine someone wearing jewellry on their fingers would be more dangerous.

 

Luis Cruz is a class above Roman Martinez. A very good operator is Cruz, IMO.

 

If I turned pro, I'd be the greatest Bangladeshi ever P4P when I retire.

 

If sumbu kalambay had beaten michael nunn. he would have gone down as the best middleweight of the last 30 years and would have been ranked above hagler.

 

I wish that were true!

Bit as good as Nunn was perceived, it was that win that sent him into overdrive.

IRON: how did you score Sumbu-McCallum II.

A controversial view is that I scored it to Kalambay,

 

Jamie Mcdonnell will spark Hall and will be a top 5 British fighter in the next 18 months, Prince Arron would best K9 right now.

 

Wow Tomj, two very controversial opinions indeed :good

K-9 would annihilate Arron. Just sayin' ;-)

McDonnell-Hall is 50-50; I favour Hall to break him in the later rounds.
