I don't have to deal with anything. It won't bother me if he gets there, and like yourself, I'm absolutely certain he will. He was a great ambassador of the sport. I like Wlad. I was hoping he'd have another crack at AJ, or he'd bow out with a farewell fight in Germany. This thread has been bumped from 3 years ago. The reason I made the thread, was because AT THE TIME, there were hordes of people on here who were proclaiming him to be the G.O.A.T. at HW, and they were hyping up Pulev as a very dangerous HW who offered a huge threat. The thread wasn't made to hate Wlad. It was made to give some over excited fans a reality check.
See you complain about people making out Pulev as a sort of challenge for Wlad and you downplay him as a total bum. Fine. But at the same time you (and your buddies in the classic forum) hype up guys WHO WERE JUST AS MEDIOCRE as Pulev as 'great contenders of the classic era', e.g. the totally mediocre Bugners, Chuvalos or Quarrys are hyped up, while the Pulevs, Chisoras and Hayes of today's era are ridiculed. It's a terrible level of hypocrisy on your end.
Jones was really into dog fighting? As a pitbull owner and lover, his reputation just dipped a bunch with me. F that ****.
This. Shock majorly got on my nerves as well. There's fighters I don't particularly like but I don't pile on at every opportunity and make 10 threads a day on. Even Wilder, who regularly take potshots at, is more a chance for a comedy angle than genuine dislike. I rewatched some of his fights and he was pretty entertaining, even if against c level opposition.
You’ve spent HOURS on this forum giving a smidget of credit to fighters like GGG, Wlad, Calzaghe etc all the while trying to dismiss the bigger picture of their career. Basically giving them your meaningless props like “Wlad is a good fighter” or “I actually like Calzaghe! I said before he was GOOD.” while at the same time trying your best to **** on their accomplishments, go after anyone that favors those guys in H2H matchups like a rabid little **** weasel, and call their reigns weak. Then you want to use your little “But I have defended them!” card like a worm because you’ve said they were “good” before You’re a ****ing dope. LOL And you’re not slick at all.
Exactly this. He disparages guys like GGG, Wlad or Calzaghe but hypes up guys like Frazier, Jones Jr. or Foreman as being 'more impressive' by leaps and bounds. He has a hard time being objective and he's heavily biased to overrating previous era fighters over today's fighters. A textbook case of rose-tinted glasses. "Everything used to be better in the old days. Today sucks!!!"
I've never downplayed Pulev as a bum. I've never once mentioned Bugner or Chuvalo. You're either confusing me with someone else, or like many posters on here, you've responded to something that doesn't exist.
How? What PEDS did Roy take? How long did he take them for? What advantages did they give him? You have my attention. Enlighten me. You are the one who's claimed that GG would have definitely have beaten Roy, had he have used the same PEDS. Okay, please elaborate. GG is a great fighter. We all know that. But he doesn't have great hand speed, and he's easy to tag. Sure, he's got a great chin. But he doesn't possess head movement or great defence. So what are the PEDS in the 00's, which would have enabled GG to have beaten Roy? There were no PEDS out there which would have given him different attributes. Sure, they could have given him an advantage. But they couldn't have improved his skill set. He wouldn't suddenly have been harder to hit. He wouldn't suddenly have had a longer reach, with greater hand speed etc. You could give him today's best PEDS. It wouldn't mean a guy like Roy wouldn't have been able to have tagged him at will. Unless there's PEDS out there that suddenly make boxers into better fighters who are impervious to pain etc, there wouldn't be any huge differences. What you have typed implies that Roy was on some sort of "Superman" type PEDS, which is what enabled him to have been so great. Again, you're living in a fantasy. It's you who made the bold statement, not me. There are no current PEDS, and there were no past PEDS, which would have guaranteed a win over Roy had GG have taken them. Get back to us in the real world. Now either back up your statement or move along.
A reality check? Who are you to decide his placing? Besides, I've never read one serious poster say he's the GOAT. Think you got trolled that's all... Waste of time wasn't it really?
PED’s=Performance enhancing drugs. You want me to explain to you Why PED’s are labeled PERFORMANCE ENHANCERS? You want me to prove to you that PED’s give you Physical abilities not natural? Seriously? You want me to explain to you how the steroids Jones took gave him unnatural abilities? It is called common sense, why do athletes take steroids? You are an idiot All your Boxing heros of the past were roided to the gills. There was NO proficient drug testing in that time period. There was NO USADA, No VADA, no global WADA standards in drug testing. They didnt even start detecting steroids in urine or blood samples until the 80’s, and that was so primitive that it was easy to pass drug tests. In the early and mid 90’s drug testing was pathetic, and there wasnt the high standards we have NOW when it comes to PED testing. Also you keep replying to me knucklehead, you desperately want my attention because you get triggered everytime somebody brings up Jones being a steroid freak. Nothing is going to change that. Next time ignore me if you are such a triggered female.
Louddumb is a cuck who worships at the alter of the biggest fraud in boxing. A guy who was allowed to use PED's and everytime he gave a positive sample the establishment made it disappear. He also had no chin and got to cherry pick his fights while demanding extortion type money from HBO for the privilege. Funny how once his reflexes went he started getting spilled all over the ring canvas. Yet Louddumb takes up crusades against Wlad Calzaghe ect. ect. to compensate.
lol Mild? There's only one thing that occupies Loudon's mind more than Calzaghe and that's fantasizing about taking part in a big gay orgy with dozens of leather-clad Roy Jones clones.
