    Because of the constant rehases of arguments? Or because Fitz got picked against Robinson?

    Fitz blows out Robinson, and then gets whooped by Burley. All pretty much the same voters. It's nonsense.

    Well the Fitz that stopped SRR would certainly have a chance to stop Burley but as we know a lot of this is speculation and fantasy but it does happen in boxing. I dont see if happening with SRR, It would be like Ali getting stopped in 3 by Jack Dempsey, possble but a long shot.....I can see Burley winning a 15 rd UD or if Fitz was as good as some posters feel a UD over Burley......from my limited knowledge of Fitz as a middleweight and from the few things I have seen of Burley, there records.....Burley SD 15

    You're saying people are favouring Burley over Robinson? I don't quite get your point mate.

    You know where I stand :lol:

    Honestly, what's not to get? Based on the Fitz/Robinson thread, it would seem Fitz was pretty much a lock to take this tourney considering the arguments made for him. Now the same voters are picking him to get stomped in the very next round?

    **** that, Fitzsimmons KO1 Burley. As we all know, Fitz hit very hard, and no fighter in the entire history of boxing can beat an un-skilled primitive that hits hard. That one guy that blasts watermelons to pieces with his fitst would be unbeatable if he learned how to throw a proper punch for instance. At least that's what the Classic Forum wants you to believe.

    I'm probably not even making sense. I don't give a ****. **** this ****. The Classic Forum has gone ******ed.

    I just didn't realise that the same posters that picked Fitz are now picking Burley. hence my misunderstanding your post.

    I thought anyone that would pick Fitz would be 'one of those' and would never pick against him.

    I'm now stumped too. WHY did people pick Fitz but he's not going to beat Burley???

    You're right Pea, this is ******ed:lol:

    To be fair I haven't seen anyone who picked Fitzsimmons to beat Robinson picking Burley to beat him.

    Burley UD.

    too fast, too skilled, and with an iron chin.

    In all fairness, I didn't vote in either, since my current work on the Fitzsimmons project might cloud my judgment.
