Good wins that are often discredited for whatever reason

It is funny that those three boxers were picked. (not Pacman)

 

There's a reason for that.

18 out of 20 experts were not polled by the Ring after seeing what Oscar looked like making weight.

 

18 out of 20 experts probably didn't count on De La Hoya being drained to the extent that he was the smaller man on the night and barely able to throw punches. Kinda hard to highly rate a win over what was essentially a heavybag.

 

Well, that I've picked Pac should tell you that I don't have an agenda. Leonard and Jones are probably those who have their victories questioned and nit-picked the most, and Pac's absolutely outstanding wins gets questioned to an absurd degree as well by many.

If he had been active in the 30's or 40's, started out at flyweight and beaten the quivalent to the guys he have beaten, no one would nitpick as some do now. He would just be an absolute legend.

 

Lewis Klitschko. "Klitschko would have won if it weren't for that damned Lewis landing accurate, damaging punches. THE EVENT WAS WON"

 

Not only that Roach completely discredited his fighters win more by saying he saw blood dripping down Oscars arm from the IV. I couldnt believe he said that.

 

This is a big one. :good If Vitalis face wasnt falling off he would have won. Hmm why was his face falling off?

 

All of Jermaine Taylor's fights before the Pavlik loses. He beat outstanding competition.

He was on his way to having a better career than Hopkins.

 

All are great boxers, Roy gets to much stick for fighting a green Hopkins, the rematch did not come off, I think it is more Hopkins fault than Roy's as he was the lesser draw, in a lower weight division and lost the first one. The Toney thing about being weight drained was not Roy's fault either.

I cannot fault Pacman for anything, it is hard to clean out divisions when you go though 7 of them.

Leonard is a sore spot cause I like Duran and Hagler more than him, one of the best boxers ever. The rest has been said to many times.

Floyd is another story, seems to be getting worse.

 

:thumbsup

 

I don't follow the discussion about Floyd, really. Does his wins get underrated or overrated, you think?
