Controversial statements on boxing that you stand by...

For once Don King is entirely right. The aparthied stuff was used as a reason for Spinks and Lewis to keep their IBF and lineal title out of Kings tournament and away from Tyson.

Yep, I remember the Leonard-Curry-Trainer thing. Always seemed to me that Curry didn't fancy fighting McCallum at 154 for the same money that he could get for defending his 147 titles.

 

I'm on about 'greater'.

Harada has two wins over the greatest Bantam of all time
Should be a 3-weight World champ, with wins over Kingpetch (amazing drubbing) and Famechon (shocking robbery)

The rest of their resume battle is close. Some of the same characters crop up, and both of course had their own dynamic styles.

But for me, Harada was 'greater'.

And no, I'd never say that about Moon. But I'm asking you to renounce Jofres truths. Just to accept that Masahiko was a greater fighter. And, having beaten Jofre twice, clearly his superior. I always had Jofre higher (as does everyone) but this year the penny dropped.

 

And Jofre would muller Donaire.

 

Hasegawa/Burgos has some decent exchanges, but I just couldn't really get into it. Not enough sustained action, and was abit slow. I had it in my top 10, but there were plenty fights I prefered to it.

I agree with the statement that TFFP made

 

Where's this "Jpab-esque" you were bragging about? C'mon lad, people have had enough of pointlessly long threads started by me.

 

I went out and now I'm too ****ed to do it. Plus Kosaros already did one :conf

I might do a SFW prospects thread though, like analyse them and see who folks think is the best (****s better not pick Broner). I'd like to see what ye fellas think of Luis Cruz.

 

Kos didn't do one Rasta, me and him just discussed it.

 

The ******* :scaredas::-(

The prospect one sounds nice though . I don't care enough about Ricky Burns, and I've never even seen Fana fight, whereas I've watched a lot of the prospects recently and it was mainly going to be about them anyway (much to your dismay :yep)

 

Abraham was hard done by vs Dirrell (is this controversial?).

 

Kinda...

 

You spelt "wrong" wrong mate.

 

Forget the DQ, there was no choice for the referee and the punch did land (even though this was a bit unconvincing, but I don't really want to criticise Dirrell for that). But I thought that the KD was harsh because Abraham was pushed off-balance first.

 

Dirrell ended up on his arse & post fight was called a joke, an actor & & heartless fraud

Abraham EVT Dirrell :deal

Had that fight & those circumstances taken place in Germany Abraham would have won

 

He saw an easy way out & took it even though he was miles ahead

Abraham is still a beast, Dirrell may be a waste of talent
