In this topic, we post commonly heard stupid opinions.

How bout that Hatton fought an old, flat footed Tszyu? :-(

Did you say he was old before the Hatton fight, did you predict a Hatton win?

What signs did you see of Kosta slowing down previous to the Hatton fight?

 

"James Toney would have beaten Roy Jones if he hadn't been weight-drained."

"Jones only beat Hopkins because Hopkins was green."

"You have to take the title from the champion."

"Jim Lampley does a terrible job and should be replaced."

"Don King is responsible for the most great fights in boxing history." (Someone actually posted that once.)

 

I would say his injurys were an indicater that his body was shutting down, but he still fought like a young man, I mean what did Tyson show you that would make you think he would quit against McBride? you cant see whats on the inside, sometimes fighters just lose their guts.

 

Im just tired of PBF huggers discrediting Hattons best win by saying Kosta was washed up. I didnt see signs he was slowing down until the Hatton fight, so I would tend to want to give Hatton credit for that.

Boxing is dying

 

schooled him all the way to a draw

 

I didnt say washed up, not at all. But not prime and coming off a long layoff like ODH..Having injuries like ODH. And the point I am trying to make that TSYU is a flat footed statue type fighter. I mean is a great flat footed fighter but the way you say hatton can do to floyd what he did to tysu is completely moronic to me b/c of the style of the fighter. The same clown that says that Tsyu was this and that say ODH was shot and past it fighting floyd. To me ODH, the wins were equal. Hatton didnt dominate tsyu...tsyu quite on his stool and could of won the fight still if he was not just done from fatigue. That was a close fight. REMEMBER THAT. It aint like hatton walked through him. Hatton went through hell and had to fight the fight of his life to win. While tsyu was the same old tsyu and was not as hungry...Give me a break. I NEVER SAY SHOT. I say OLD..past prime but far from shot...ODH was/is not shot..the same way.

 

Fair enough, you said old and flat footed and I said washed up.

Anyways, I understand your point but it was a good win for Hatton.

 

:good

Also, Roy Jones had a glass jaw and Marciano was too small to compete nowadays.

 

LOL

 

i know.more of a sprinter.

 

ive boxed.(ok only amateur)Why do you think it was fixed.dont disagree just curious.

 

The people who think that "power" and "chin" are the only two qualities that exist in boxing. Almost as bad are those who think that "skill" is a quantity ("he has more skill") without defining what the skill consists of.

This ends up creating a rock-paper-scissors relationship:


Skill > Chin

Chin > Power

Power > Skill (unless you also have Chin)

Power + Skill < Power + Chin

Skill + Chin > Power + Chin





...and so on...
