    Not to mention, using some other fight as a justification for the results of another. Just shows how little a lot really know about boxing.

    I'm sick and tired of most people bringing up amatuers when it's easily different then in the pros of boxing. If Kostya beat Forrest in the pros then ok but in the amatuers???? WOW!!!!

    If you can't see anything in the Forrest-Tszyu video skillwise then you know **** about boxing. He slowed him down in 2 amateur rounds!!! not to mention the great defense, anticipation, body shots etc. Forrest was fighting in slowmo by the 3rd round. That was as close to pro boxing as you get in the amateurs.

    Forrest isn't even considered a speedy fighter.

    Was Forrest or Kostya even in their primes in the amatuers? Does amatuers boxing boxers were headgear? :lol: If Amatuers is as close like in the pros then Why fighters like Oscar, Kostya, Forrest and so don't get title shots in the first fight in the pros? Man seriously stfu cause you just make yourself look very bad.

    Is it really? Forrest whupped on Mosley in the amateurs. Forrest whupped him again in the Pro's. Lewis whupped on Bowe so bad in the amateurs that Bowe DUCKED Lewis in the pro's. The most recent memory I have of it not coming out the same is Pavlik vs Taylor although Taylor had him in the 2nd, but let him off the hook.

    Not the best argument out there, but whether it is mentally or physically
    it does have something to do with a fight come fight time in the pro's.

    Remember, Mayweather wasn't undefeated as an amateur. And he only won a bronze in the Olympics. Would that suggest those who beat him as ams would do so today? Of course not. But boxers are always improving their craft. Not all on the same pace granted. Cotta was beaten by Mohhamed Abdullaev and Kelson Pinto as an amateur and he whupped them as pros. Hope this doesn't sound like I am totally disagreeing with you BTW. I do hear what you are saying, You need the mental toughness to beat someone who beat you first. And it's said, boxing is more about mental toughness then it is physical.

    If you were so smart, you would concede to the point that styles make fights. Tszyu beating Forrest doesn't automatically mean Tszyu beats Shane. There are TOO many case made that disproves that theory.

    As I said, watch videos, read the literature and the knowledge will come to you, eventually.

    Are you aware the only argument you've made for Tszyu to beat Shane is Tszyu beating Forrest as an amatuer?

    The amatuers are clearly different then the pros. Sure Mosley lost to Forrest in the amatuers just like in the pros but so what? Mayweather wasn't undefeated in the amatuers. Cotto has lost a fight in the amatuers vs the same fighters that he beat in the pros. Like i said if the amatuers is like the pros then why those fighters never fought for a world title in their first fight in the pros?
