favourite fighter, favourite picture

Any pic with Frazier is always great.

 

Wow.

It's amazing and it shows just how long ago those two fought each other.

There they are some 30-40 years later and the cameras were still black and white....

Awesome pic bro.

Cotto has very "normal" looking legs for an athlete.

No no. Cotto never struck me as someone who is very athletically gifted.

 

Is there a photo of this from the reverse angle?

 

I know. There was a time when the top boxers facing top boxers really captured the imagination of the public. Fenech-Nelson II at Princess May Park attracted like 70,000 people in '92. Even the the third (and uneccessary) fight attracted almost 40,000 people in '08, so not a bad showing for a couple of retired 40-year olds.

These days Australian boxing fans get the privelige of big fights such as:

Sonny Bill Williams (2-0) v Scott Lewis (3-4)

Would so totally spend $40 to buy this PPV fight. How to get the casual fan into boxing when the top 3 (Australian-based) boxing stories in 2010 are:

1. Danny Green KO1 Paul Briggs (Took a dive/fixed fight)
2. Garth Wood KO5 Anthony Mundine (A "champ" loses to a green can)
3. Danny Green-BJ Flores (Green ready for a challenge - wait as IBO champion shouldn't you already be doing that?)

And just to mirror the fights which didn't come close in media attention:

1. Daniel Geale TKO12 Roman Karmazin (in a one-sided dominant display)
2. Michael Katsidis challenging top p4p fighter Juan Manuel Marquez
3. Vic Darchinyan entering the bantamweight tourney

FYI for the internationals: Williams is a rugby player trained by former-"world champ" Anthony Mundine who will face the guy who knocked out some other rugby player turned boxer in his one-and-only fight (Carl Webb).

 

Sick photo.

 

wow. pac looked like a possesed man

 

What with it showing morales throwing the hook? I don't think so.
