    I can see that. How can you say Hopkins wasn't dominating? You couldn't be that blind......

    Not when that MW is one of the best MW's ever. You post "got Ko'd by a MW" as if it was just ANY MW.

    I agree with you totally here. Lacy was no Tito. Tito is a sure fire HOF. The arguement that CHJ was trying to present is that in HIS opinion, Tito was well above his best weight, and not as great a victory as some made out. I disagree with this personally, as I feel his blowout of Joppy (who was still a good fighter) showed he was comfortable and powerful at this weight.

    :lol: :lol: - I am sorry that I am laughing, but I find it weird to defend things that I have thrown at JC fans, and that I can't.

    Okay this is what I was referring to. I said it depends on your personal definition of dominating. Mine is punishment dished out. I also said that by outboxing him and not getting hit might be dominating in your opinion. Its really just your personal definition on the word itself. thats why I posted this to clear this up. Fair enough if you took it from the post before though.

    Well, if the Tarver win should be mentioned on par with the Lacy beatings it shouldn't matter how great this MW was/is.

    True most of the time, unless big names are involved.

    Remember the odds for Tyson v Lewis. Ridiculous money on that fight. Tysons odds were far skinnier than his real chance of winning, because people bet with their hearts, not their heads.

    Its all good. Seeing my exact words come up, I realised that although i knew what I was talking about, I was probably looking pretty silly as soon as they were posted hahaha. Teaches me for losing my cool.
