    Your emotional attachment to this subject both disturbs & amuses me. He’s a Boxer, not your mother. LOL.

    Hahaha you’re the one who can’t seem to STFU even though you’ve been owned. I’m sorry you’re embarrassed

    You can’t even own Holyfield’s losses. How many does he have again? 10? 12? In 50 or so fights? & that was with cheating, in & out of the ring?

    It’s called “ fighting in a stronger era “ my man . That’s what greatness is all about. You’ll figure it out one day. Until then keep learning

    How does it feel to be so morally bankrupt & intellectually backward that you’re inspired by a known career cheat? What a hero to look upto :lol:

    Holyfields issue with power had everything to do with the fact he got caught up in flurries, I think it’s an old amateur habit… he’d throw his combinations with all arms/shoulders his single shots usually had his weight shifted correctly and could do damage, issue is his eagerness often meant he’d fire off a bunch of punches after his jab all without shifting any weight, if he caught someone on a counter (if he hadn’t just thrown something) usually he threw that single punch proper. He’d appear to take what he learnt from Benton seriously in stretches and other times he’d just start fighting like his Olympic/early days.

    Apparently I don't watch fights even though I have about 100 of my own scorecards and write ups in the scorecard threads I guess i make up all the scorecards "sarcasm".

    You know a lot, I’ve learned from you in the past when I was still a teenager lurking here, you can defend your opinions in a nicer way because of your excess of information.
