    Ok, you know how it's easy to come up with bad points against any fighter? This always happens in boxing debates. Well, for a laugh how about we post up some of the best fighters and then give a short description trying to make them look as bad as possible.

    Ok, I'll start:

    Foreman:

    A big bully with little boxing skill and no defense or stamina, who gassed out after 5 rounds. Career defining wins were over a guy with effectively one eye and one arm (Frazier), and the glass-jawed Norton who got taken out in 1 round several times by (Shavers, Cooney). Got handled in his prime by an ageing Ali, went life and death with Ron Lyle, handed a boxing lesson by the tiny Jimmy Young, and was only champion for 3 fights. Made an embarrassing comeback where he was clearly out of shape, beating up on tomato cans and then getting the title with one lucky punch after being outboxed by a chinny blown-up light heavyweight. Lost to Shannon Briggs.

    Pacquiao : Overrated 1-dimensional slugger who fought nothing but old or weight-drained fighters.

    Marciano : Overrated brawler with no defense who made his name fighting shot to **** greats on their last legs.

    Ali - Casual fans know his name, nuff said. Fought in a relatively weak Heavyweight era. Needed the Nation of Islam's Voodoo detachment to summon a phantom to help him defeat Liston. He ducked Spinks and Holmes until they were prime and still lost. He ducked consensus no.1 contender, WWII, and fake-retired until it retired itself. Like many others of his time, he avoided white fighters, namely the dangerous Gentleman's Row fighters. Hid on 5 continents padding his record instead of going to Tajikistan and fighting the best in the world. Was played by ****ing Will Smith in a movie and fought a blown up chunky ****** in James Toney, with a scripted outcome.

    Lewis,

    Ko'd by 2 tomato cans.
    Was getting his ass whiped by Klitschko, lucky they stopped it, hell the ***** didn't even give him a rematch!!
    Ducked Bowe regardless of what the media say.
    Mercer beat him.
    Prime Tyson DESTROYS Lewis, but Lewis wanted no part of him, hell it took 8 bloody rounds to beat the shot version!!
    Holyfield one WAS a draw and Lewis WAS outclassed in the rematch.
    Lazy boring assed jab jab jab zzzzzzzzz
    Lucky Golota was caught offguard or he would have KO'd Lewis, same with Grant.
    Prime Bruno smashes him, he was lucky that fight also.
    Best wins vs a green Klitschko and shot Holyfield.
    He's Canadian.

    That sums him up, glass jawed Canadian who couldn't ko a shot Holyfield.


    But I will say, he's a great commentator.

    Hearns - Stamina was lacking and he was a massive front runner.

    Frazier-

    A one eyed fighter who only uses one arm about 90% of the time. All he throws is a left hook. He can't jab and can't tie his shoes with his right hand. His best win was over an Ali with no legs and 18 rounds experience on his comeback. He got blown out in 2 rounds against a fighter with no defense, stamina or boxing skill. Not to mention he lost twice to an ancient Ali who still had no legs.

    Roy Jones Jr.

    A Glass Jawed Mofo. Fought stiffs and cans his whole career. His best win was against a fighter with an eating problem. He got KO'd by a lucky punch from a fighter with his eyes closed. Not to mention he ducked the lineal champion DM and and Supermiddleweight Benn for years. He also dropped a wide UD to a fighter that only slaps. He recently was KO'd by a fighter with strong craving for vegemite.

    Wouldn't it be better if your peers picked a fighter for you to destroy?

    I am not suggesting that they would pick your favourite.

    This is going to hurt me.

    Especialy since I feel obliged to bring something new to the anti Greb argument, just to show the Greb detractors how weak they are-

    Alexis Arguello - I could not say a word against this man.
