Name? Is that what you go by, who ever is the biggest name? Guess what, Shane Mosely was a much bigger name than Winky and Forerst...guess how they turned out. (Feel free to search, since you probably don't know who I am referring to) It's post like this where you show just how inexperienced in boxing you are, as well as immature. You might not even have been born in the 90's!!
I'm 36 and lived through the 80's, my first fight was Tyson vs Douglas. A lot of that era I never watched live, because I wasn't aware of US boxing at the time because I live in the UK. Not many fights were promoted as they are today. Benn, Eubank, RJJ, Toney and Collins were some of my favorite fighters in the early 90's. I've seen MW classics on youtube. Ilikeboxing is not just a rubbish username. I like watching classic fights.
Ilikeboxing, You said that I believed that Nunn would have steam-rollered Danny Jacobs. I never said that. Therefore, you have invented it. No, I never said that Jacobs is a **** name to have on his resume. Again, you are inventing statements that have never been made. Danny Jacobs is a good fighter. If James had him on his MW resume, yes, I would recognise it. But Danny Jacobs is not an elite fighter. Regarding BoxRec, it's a very useful tool for weights, dates and venues. But I don't use it to back up my arguments, because I advocate the saying: "statistics don't allow for circumstances" You have no idea what the definition of a journeyman is. Reggie Johnson was a better fighter than Danny Jacobs. I never said he wasn't. I just said that he wasn't an A level fighter. If you seriously believe that Jacobs was elite and that Reggie was a journeyman, then you need a serious timeout from this discussion whilst you acquire some much needed knowledge. Just stop. Nunn threw bombs with either hand? Michael Nunn was a boxer. He was blessed with great footwork and reflexes. He was a rangy southpaw who relied on his great technical skills. Other than sharing the same profession, they hardly had any similarities. Nobody would associate them with one another. I'm not stressing out. I actually feel bad for you. Instead of engaging in an actual debate, whilst being open to take on board new information, you are stubbonly digging yourself a hole which you'll never be able to get out of. If you carry on behaving in such a manner, nobody is going to take you seriously when they see you post on other topics. Regarding a website, what website would that be? The only websites that interest me, are: this one, YouTube, X Hamster and PornSOS.
Only a simpleton would make up statements, compare Nunn with Jacobs, and class Jacobs as elite and Reggie as a journeyman. You're entering a Bailey level of stupidity.
For a guy so intent with saying I make up stuff. If you want to copy and paste the time I said Jacobs was "elite" for me, I'll gladly eat humble pie and let you win this argument. I compared him to Nunn, they are both similar in many levels as I pointed out earlier. Not in every single way like an extra 1 inch height advantage or one of them is south paw. Johnson would more than likely get KTFO vs Jacobs. Drained Collins would struggle as well.
Kevin, you have agreed with a guy who has said the following: That Jacobs is an elite level fighter. That Reggie Johnson was a journeyman. That Toney's MW reign/era was weak. That Jacobs and Nunn share similarities. That me and Lance have said that Nunn would have steam-rollered Jacobs. You support what's been said above, and have even told him to hang in there. You two need a serious break from this forum. It's no longer funny. It's just cringeworthy.
Johnson, Castro and JDJ shared wins and losses. None of them are on Jacob's level, sorry. They're just not.
What, by digging a giant hole that he can't get out of? Unless he's a miner, he's not gaining any territory. The only thing he's doing, is exposing his lack of knowledge. And by supporting him, you are doing the same.
A credible fighter? You have constantly referred to him as a journeyman. Martin Murray? Can that hole get any deeper?
I'm only digging this hole to protect myself from Herol's spamming of this forum. Might come in handy to if one of the alts suddenly appear liking your posts calling me **** at boxing or something.
You obviously never watched Nunn's career unfold. That's cool. Neither did I. But just admit it instead of making silly claims.
