I disagree....if anything i think the fight showed Pauls heart and determination,plus he was preparing for Pavlik in what seemed forever and Southpaws do not like fighting other Southpaws i tmakes an awkward fight even for them...Also Martinez is not an easy fight FOR ANYONE
God, what I wouldn't give to see Kirkland in the ring again, especially for a title. I was severely disheartened to see that guy put away. Guys like that, in their peak, they come along once in a generation.
It was a great fight with 2 great fighters and i dare floyd,mosley or pacquiao to get in the ring with either williams or martinez,they both showed skills,heart and determination and all u can do is give both guys much respect,because they fought each other,when nobody else wanted to fight them.Williams won the fight,because he dug down deep and was the more active fighter,martinez landed great shots,but williams landed 4-5 shots for every 1 great shot that martinez landed.Compubox total punches shows williams landed 299-876 and martinez landing 254-638, and compubox power punches shows williams landing 206-631 and martinez landing 183-446.The judge that scored it 119-110 was a idiot,but i agree with the 115-113 for williams.
anglosaxon! i was wondering what happened to you. i see you're still trolling, bringing calzaghe into every conversation. keep up the good work man. never a boring thread
Martinez is not considered a power puncher. The moment PW fights someone that punches hard he's going get knocked out. PW is extremely flawed, he's just a tall guy that throws a lot of punches that are not really hard. As the fights progress he punches tend to lose a lot of steam. PW is not that good, he's tall like Hearns, but that's where the comparison ends, he doesn't not have the punching power ot Tommy Hearns.
I would put Wlad above Mosely. I also think Floyd is going to beat Pac, but would still have Pac higher because of his brilliant '09 year.
Neither one is a world beater. A man calling himself, "The world's most feared fighter" shouldn't lose to two guys on that level. I consider both B class fighters.
:dead:dead:dead Supposing your drivel was true, how does Froch relate to the discussion of last night's fight? Looks like someone jumped on the hypocrite train of the supposed nationalistic bias that he was trying to accuse others of. To divagate a little, there is simply no possible justification whatsoever in ranking Froch, Haye, the Klitschkos, and Khan above some of the other top men out there. Going by one of your aforementioned points in constituting the logic of qualifying Froch as such an elite fighter, Chad Dawson should be ranked p4p very high, as he is unbeaten, right? The other guy's list was mediocre, but your's simply lacked any conceivable point of merit. Good day.
I thik Williams lost a very hard fight. You could even see in Paul's eyes he knew he lost that fight. Neither Sergio Martinez of Quintana are shitty fighters. IMHO he lost. But that is very different to being exposed. It was a great fight. If you cant appreciate that, should should never comment here again.
Anglo's just upset he doesn't get as much attention these days because people are bored of him. Either that or his butt plug is in too tight.
