I don't. The guy is an idiot. He knows nothing about the sport and should really just stick to the AOL chatrooms.
I'm consulting the British forum. So it appears you are a hater of weak chins? Joe and Ricky have solid chins!
I'll bet you didn't even watch the fight, so how pratel can you say wayne was shot? B/c he lost to macca? Your obviously biased pal!
"GO BRAITHAWAITE!! If he has anything left, I expect him to take out Maccarinelli early!" Zakman You were wrong today. When you pick a fighter to get knocked out every fight , then when it finally happens you think your special? The trick to making a bold prediction :"I expect him to take out Maccarinelli early". But also covering his ass in case it doesnt happen : "If he has anything left." "If" is the key!! Then if the fight doesnt go as he predicted , he says I told you the fighter was shot. All 31 years old and 25 fights, Braithwaite is shot right!
**** you. You narrow minded ol' fool. You use the word glass jaw too much. Maybe you have a glass jaw. And your a lying sack off turd **** when you say you support calzaghe and hatton. I've seen many posts where you dog those 2. Look you ethnic mook. Even ding knows he'll lose to macca.
You really are an idiot aren't you? Wayne didn't have power anymore? Power is the very last thing that will leave a fighter! atsch Sure, when he was champ Wayne may have had better timing and possibly landed more on Macca, but those big shots that got through tonight did have the same kind of mustard as a "prime" Braithwaite's punches would've. Macca took them well. And as was mentioned, Wayne is only 31 years old. Nobody's saying he has a jaw of iron, but it certainly isn't glass.
That's the old adage. After 30 years of following boxing, I've heard more times than I can count. But it isn't applicable in EVERY case. Some fighters loose their pop at younger ages, and some fighters burn out young too. Are you honestly gonna tell me that the force of Braithwaite's was the same as it's always been?? Sure doesn't seem so. If it was, he would have been able to take advantage of Enzo's fragile whiskers. At this point we can't know for certain, however, who is correct. Only time will show who is right. If Maccinarelli stands up over the long haul, then maybe you and his fellow supporters will be proven right. However, I think not. And Ding would be a good test for Enzo's questionable beard - one I bet he would not pass. :nod
Or hates the gay british boxing media who over promotes/hypes their fighters. Lewis and Calzaghe(if calzaghe continues to step up and fight big names and good challengers) are the only ones who desearve it.
Ding is exciting to watch, but hes just not that good. He gets a lot of hype due to the fact that he posts here, and whilst he is a great fighter to watch and seems like a genuinely nice guy Huck,Haye et al beat him very easily,
You got me figured right. To me, the MOST important quality for a fighter to have is the ability to take a punch, and to give one. Without that - unless you have SUBSTANTIAL ability offsetting it - generally speaking you won't go very far in this game. It's one reason why I am a big fan of Wilson - he is exactly what I wish all fighters could be.:yep Believe me, there's some British fighters I like quite a bit. Danny Williams for one - he didn't have an iron chin to be sure, but it wasn't glass either. And he compensated with great heart. See that's the key, if you're chin isn't the greatest, you better have SOMETHING to offset it. It remains to b e seen, frankly, if Maccinarelli does. I tend to doubt it, but I could be wrong.
Actually, you're logic is off; if Enzo had fragile whiskers, those shots would've taken him out. Braithwaite, at 31, had the same power he had in his prime. If anything, it was greater in his fight with Macca, as he was a good 8 lbs heavier than in his prime. :deal It was a twelve round fight, Enzo dominated but if you watched it you'd have seen him take punishment from Braithwaite on several occasions. And even if a guy like Ding, Wlodarczyk, or Haye were to land a bomb and KO Enzo, that would hardly prove he had a glass jaw. It would just show he doesn't have an iron chin. If a featherfisted fighter KOed him, you'd have a respectable case.
