I have two .. Teddy Atlas claiming Tyson wasn't great and that he'd rate him as 0-5 as a fighter , losing to every man that presented him with resistance. He's repeated this ad nauseam and besides being flat out absurd it's an insult to so many fighters than showed top and lost. Larry Holmes, a dear friend, saying "they said my legs were too small, I had no heart , I was a copy of Ali ' .. it's a bit much when you spend forty eight years repeating a reference that ran about two years .. Others ?
Ugh I have a lot… “Foreman has ATG ring cutting” that’s my favourite dumb thing repeated on this forum especially considering no film supports it, Ali ran to the ropes, Young outboxed him on the move, Peralta was a LHW who wasn’t cornered or “destroyed” quickly… who’d he cut the ring against? Ken Norton? A guy famous for his lame leg and come forward attacker style (yawn) - Pep “won a round without throwing a punch” that’s annoying… basically everything written about the “Rumble In The Jungle” is contradictory to the film and only backed up by “Ghost Writers” - not something here but people calling Ali a civil rights hero??? That royally F’s me off and is hilariously false… basically every time Angelo Dundee speaks I get irritated - that there is no film of 147lbs Ray Robinson… anytime I hear how “RJJ dominated PRIME Toney” despite how visually apparent that is false “RJJ made him look weight drained” okay bro. As you mention OP anytime anyone bashes Tyson for no reason? Atlas is a dummy… oh when I hear all the amateur poetry and flowery prose on guys like Liston, that’s bizarre, the people doing it are probably the exact types he’d bully or mug lmao. Marvin Hagler is the juggernaut expect in real life, Marvin was great boxer but as far as Robinson, RJJ, Napoles, Armstrong Toney etc they’re a step above… like I’ve seen it written Hagler would beat everybody at one time or another. OH and Nelson having F-ing MALARIA vs Fenech… MALARIA no he did F-ing not.
