Shot Fighters-- #1 Indicator

...ANOTHER FUNNY indicator..

When a fan does not want to give credit to a boxer and LOSSES to a supposedly highly regarded fighter. PAC beats MAB 1. MAB is suppose to win but losses!
NEXT THING you will hear MAB IS SHOT!
Morales losses to PAC. Morales is SHOT!
NOBODY gave PAC a chance to win against ODLH. Some members even said that those who gave PAC a chance is stupid and delusional. A huge number of SPORTS writeres PREDICTED ODLH will win even the higly respected writer of yahoo sports kevin IOLE said ODLH will win... at the end of the day! PAC schooled ODLH!

and what do we hear. ODLH is shot!

YES! If anyone does not want to give anybody a credit! What do you say after the fight!
He is shot!

Damn! Why didn't they said that before the fight! It means it MEANS they don't want to give CREDIT from the start!

BEST ANSWER! if a fan does not want to give CREDIT! call the defeated BOXER shot!

CHEERS!

 

i totally agree (though I thought DLH was gonna kill PAc!)...maybe another example of your point would be roy jones...not sure he really lost sooo much from the weight drop post ruiz, though he lost some speed and maybe some strength...but it seemed like after he climbed that amazing mountaintop of going from mw all the way up, like a basic presence left him, a will, like he'd fulfilled his purpose and he was a shell.....maybe the "he looked like shell" observation we often hear made is as much to do with this loss of this undefined quality as much as anything else. sorry to get all esoteric and such on you guys

 

silver-i certainly take nothing away from pac-it was an AMAZING thing he did...

 

pac gave em a whoopin . but i dont think he'd be able to do the same to another 147 lbs. that's in the prime of his carrer as well . Pac man is great there is no denying that, but in the end i want marquez - manny 3 and then we'll know if Manny is a true all-time great. Until then Manny has to get his due for making DLH quit .

 

Interesting... I always look at a fighters legs for indicators of wear, but this makes all kinds of sense too. Oscar was fighting on some french fries this weekend also.

 

Money,makes even the best soft,lose desire not in the condition they once were.

 

I think it also depends on the fighter. In some fighters it the punch resistance that goes.
LIONHEART23, I dont think a Marquez 3 fight would prove much. Marquez will be considered shot if Pac wins again.

 

I couldn't agree more with all of this, both in general, and with respect to De La Hoya and Trinidad.

Older fighters just can't pull the trigger. But the reason for this, I think, is a little bit different that some have said. It's not so much "willingness," but ability. Mentally, they may know what they need to do, but their bodies do not respond the same way. They just don't have the reflexes of a younger man.

 

this "can't pull the trigger" phrase came from roach's description of dlh in the second half of the pbf-dlh fight. does this mean that dlh was already shot when he fought mayweather? but why is it at dlh's very next fight, he dominated forbes to a very wide UD winning all the rounds? then at his next fight vs. pac, he is again said to be shot as he can't again "pull the trigger".

can you therefore be shot when fighting Elite and A-level fighters but still be able to beat B-level and below competition?

 

Morales was shot by the second fight - but it was Pac who made him shot in the first place.

 

Sad pic. :-(

 

A good indicator is:

When a fighter is not dominating guys he should dominate, ie: not scoring wide UD when other young champions are also getting UD's.

Another indicator is:

When they recently loose loopsided decision to the then current p4p #1. Surely shot fighters cant be taking p4p #1 to an SD.
