    :roll:

    Im telling you Fraud didnt dominate him cause it was 8-4 or 7-5 and Zab deserved a point for the KD.

    Now youre saying it coulda been scored 11 - 1. :nut Jesus. :-(

    Your co-worker is foolish to believe that logic. Does he/she not understand the concept of weight and power?

    One judge did score it 11-1. Round 2 was the only round that you had to give to Zab, maybe round 4 as well. Name one other round besides 2 and 4 that Zab clearly won.

    For ****s sakes this guy has lost his mind.

    Mayweather has more than a 50% chance of beating prime Hagler?

    Hagler can't fight going backwards?

    He's not much bigger than Floyd?

    :patsch

    It's an easy trap to fall into if you haven't seen a certain fighter more than once or twice. I admit, I fall victim to this on occassion, in particular, in instances where my limited exposure either verifies or dismisses popular claims.

    But it is strange that Hagler, in particular, is one of those fighters that so many undermine in terms of skill. He was an outstanding boxer. You're probably wasting your time attempting to educate some people in this thread who obviously have limited reference.

    That anyone would take Mayweather over Hagler at middleweight is well beyond the realm of reason.

    7-5?!?!?!

    Share whatever the **** you were smoking when you watched that one.

    I believe I had it 9-3 for Floyd, but regardless, Mayweather totally dominated after making a few adjustments in the 3rd round. He kept setting the same traps over and over, and Judah, dumb **** that he was, kept trying to do the same things that worked earlier without making any counter adjustments.

    was that the same judge that scored Casamayor over Santa Cruz by a wide margin?:lol:

    Judges never get it wrong, huh Reg?:think


    I had it 8-4 and a KD, Fraud clearly won but calling it dominate is a stretch.

    Pac dominated MAB
    DLH dominated Mayorga
    Cal dominated Lacy

    theres a real difference.

    Personally, I think Robinson, Hearns, Leonard are all better fighters as of right now than Miguel Cotto, (Cotto's career is not yet over so that could change somewhat depending on what happens from here on out) yet Floyd isn't exactly in a hurry to face Cotto. How can he be better than the other greats if he's reluctant to face someone who is not yet on their level? If A is better than B but C won't face B how can C be better than A? I don't get it. When he fights Cotto, then's the time to talk about how he's up there with Robinson, Leonard, Duran, Benitez. Armstrong. Floyd is an ATG but he's not yet at THAT level.

    It was either 9-3 or 8-4 Mayweather. Judah got off to a good start and won 3 of the first 4 and then won no more than one round after that. Again, getting off to a good start doesn't mean ****. If you win the first set against Federer and end up losing the last few sets it doesn't matter how you started. A loss is a loss, and only in boxing do people care about how you started.

    fair enough, my point on the subject is that Fraud did not "dominate" Zab.

    Cal dominated Lacy
    Pac dominated MAB
    Holyfield dominated Tyson
    Shane dominated Collazo

    theres a difference.

    I never said that height and reach were everything, I simply stated that they were factors to consider when evaluating size. To state that they are not factors is moronic. Of course Tyson's freakish power and speed were equalizers in regards to size, but he still deserved credit for dominating guys who had 6 inches in height and 10 inches in reach on him. By the way, Hagler was far from a big middleweight. Hopkins was a much bigger middleweight and proved it my being very successful two divisons above it. Do you really think Hagler would have been able to defeat Spinks at 175?

    He actually said all that, and that Floyd is a better boxer than Hearns?

    And I was actually trying to educate this ignorant little **** earlier. That is beyond stupidity. A natural 130 pounder who has enough trouble with shot 154 pounders is going to beat an ATG 160 pounder? :rofl
