Do u ever Over Estimate a fighters ability just because you are a huge fan?

yes i do it all the time. especially with roy and oscar

 

Just read back and realized what you are talking about with the Calzaghe stuff. Let me guess, you are of the sort that thinks Pavlik will KO him?

 

No.

I occasionally underestimate fighters I really dislike.

 

and still,you can't put yourself on the line and put forward an opinion...

 

Hell I know sam peter beats any version of lewis, tyson, the klit's and ali with a sprinkle of joe louis:rofl :good :bbb

 

When this thread was made I thought of you and PacDaBest....:good

 

That's normal for every fan.

My case when I picked Morales over Sahir, Katsidis over Campbell, Taylor against Pavlik or even Arce over Mijares.

 

Talking about over estimating a fighter. I remember a few years ago someone bringing a young middleweight to ft worth tx from las vegas. He was supposedly 12-0 with 10 ko's and thought of as championship potential He was in the gym running his mouth about being brought to " A hick town with bull crap everywhere what can they teach me here" No one paid him attention till he came out with the ridiculous Theres nothin in Texas but steers and queers saying.
Now you dont say things like that in Texas LOL every fighter in gym wanted to spar with him even Quincy Taylor at the time the WBC champ. To cut it short they put a young kid texas golden gloves champ ready to turn pro in with him. It was obvious the Vegas kid had nothing our boy Jesse whupped up on him bad even doing the Ali shuffle on him embarassing him. Vegas got mad that was all Jesse wanted he decked him . His manager jumped in ring saying " Are you trying to hurt my boy" Jesse said " No Sir but I'm a proud Texan and no egotistical fraud claiming to be a boxer is gonna insult Texas without getting Texas justice".
Fighter and manager left like dogs with their tails between their legs
Guess the moral is DONT MESS WITH TEXAS lol

 

you could have saved yourself all that trouble by saying you were from texas........:happy

 

:yep:rofl:happy

 

An opinion on what?! I am honestly having a really hard time following you. If your talking about a Pavlik/JC fight then ill give an opinion. Personally I think Calzaghe doing what he's doing right now is just to hype the fight. Pretty much like I think Cotto/PBF is going to happen in '09 after Cotto beats Oscar for his last fight. I see Calzaghe having too much ring knowledge for Pavlik with too much speed and movement. This fight goes the distance , and is much closer than most JC fans think. I give Calzaghe the SD or close UD nod, without going too much in-depth.
Is that what you wanted?

 

Same here. It must be some sort of disorder we have. Seeing the glass half full I suppose. Question, does anyone see a beer glass as half full? or is it "Time to order antoher"?

 

you suggested opinions dont have to be offered in return because it's "fact".

this is a boxing forum so nothing is that dismissive.

you have to back up everything you say IMO.

 

I wanted to see Kostya comeback and fight PBF.

I was hoping to see him KO PBF but in all likely logic would tell me that at that stage of their careers, PBF would brutally school him.


I also expected Winky to outwork and school Hopkins. I dismissed Hopkins success with other southpaws and also didnt expect Winky to come in out of shape.

 

True. What I was saying is that its a fact that fitzgerald isn't completely unbiased like he claims to be. That is bull****
