Most wasted talents ever

Hence my post, hindsight is a wonderful thing, it can and very often does make fools of us all.

 

No, you said "I knew Lewis would smash Ruddock, and it happened", implying that you had the idea that Lewis would win, and then it happened after you had the idea. Don't try and change the story around.:yep

 

What are you talking about?

 

So you disagree that Ruddock was shot against Morrison? Why?

 

Hey, can't fault me for trying.:yep

 

You are using 15 years of hindsight, if you went back to the summer of 1992, you probably would of been laughed at with that view.

 

Well, then if you really meant that, then you should have worded it a little differently.

 

Well, I think Ruddock would have beaten Morrison in his prime, so I think that constitutes being either shot, or way past your prime or something to that effect.:good

 

That's two different things. The way you worded your post about the Ruddock-Lewis fight sounded like you claimed you predicted the outcome before it happened, that's all.

 

I wasn't talking about speaking English properly, calm down. I'm just saying that maybe you shouldn't have left the impression of a Monday Morning Quarterback, that's all.

 

There is no way Mason was underrated, and Biggs was but a name fringe contender when he fought Lewis unlike Dokes who was a legitmate contender.

Insiders were not sold on Lewis. The British public had not warmed to him, and as all his learning fights had been on ITV, we had seen all his flaws and he seemed very poor for an Olympic champion.

Of course Lewis duly and thankfully proved us wrong and stuffed our criticisms of him down our throats, and that humble pie tasted good...

But in the summer of 1992, Lewis was considered fourth of four amongst Bowe, Holyfield and Ruddock. And the insiders were backing Ruddock to come out on top amongst the four.
