Say something controversial (boxing related)

jmm was paid by oscar and not floyd in his fight with floyd because floyd could not make the agreed catchweight. oh wait it's true...

 

You may find this hard to believe but I think boxing judges have been paid to score a fight in favor of a promoters fighter.

 

the british prizefight tournament should not be classed as professional bouts, and shouldnt end up on pro records.
and its a bad accident waiting to happen.
its fairground exhibition stuff and has sucessfully forced itself to be accepted as proper professional boxing.

 

James Toney would still beat Vitali Klitchko

 

Floyd didn't duck Pacquiao.

 

Barrera/Morales II was a close, competitive fight that could have legitimately been scored either way.

Barrera/Morales I was a close, competitive fght that could have legitimately been scored either way.

Antonio Margarito may not have had any knowledge of the tiny insert in his knuckle pad.

There is no controversy surrounding Leonard/Hagler. The right man won.

 

Antonio Margarito had cheated years before getting caught

 

Hopkins only secured his place as an ATG when he beat Tarver.

Tyson is, was and probably always will be hideously overrated and he would have lost to Tucker had Tucker not got injured. Holyfield and Lewis would beat any version of Tyson. So would Jack Johnson and Gene Tunney.

Marciano probably shouldn't be labelled an ATG.

Jack Johnson probably had one of the worst, most corrupt title reigns in boxing history in any division.

Stanley Ketchel would have beaten Bob Fitzsimmons at Middleweight.

Eubank is the most overrated British fighter in History.

If there was a rematch, Salvador Sanchez would almost certainly have been defeated by Azumah Nelson.

 

Bump

 

MMA will swallow boxing, and I forsee boxing's complete demise in exactly 4 years 6 months, when Anderson Silva becomes Emperor of the universe
