the top myths about boxing!!!!!!!!!

blacks are better fighters and overall athletes than whites/other ethic/racial groups.

 

I got a better one. . . Floyds not a coward.

 

Whitaker outclassed Chavez and made him look ordinary, one of the biggest myths of this site. I hate this stupid crap, people don't leave room to see it was clearly a draw.

 

Glad to hear it's working for you bro :good

 

whatever.... I mean, after an hour of banging a girl, I can hardly walk to the bathroom to pee, let alone fight 12 rounds... not only that, but I would probably fall asleep afterwards and miss my scheduled fight...:yep

 

the lucky punch is indeed a myth. i thought that would be the first thing i'll see when i opened this forum topic. you just can't call a punch lucky because all boxers aim to hit their opponents. why the hell would they be called lucky if one of their punches hits the target.

not looking at the opponent while punching is most often than not the basis of some people to call shots lucky, like the one that hit fraudley. but i think it is stupid to think that! it's like a reverse dunk or a no look pass in basketball. you don't see it but you know it's there


if the fighter got pissed at the ref and tried to punch him, but ended up slipping and hitting his opponent knocking him out, then that would be a real lucky punch

 

Well people do exaggerate how badly Whitaker outboxed Chavez, but still, you have to be really generous to Chavez to have it a draw.

One problem was because of the 10 pt. must system. Whitaker won his rounds more clearly than Chavez did, but they weren't enough to be 10-8.

Another myth:

In the old days there was only one champion and none of the alphabet junk.

They still had some of that, it just wasn't insane like it is today.

 

Foreman had Moorer set up for the knock out punch.

 

Had it not been for the socks Pacman would have never lost to Morales!

 

:rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

 

If you aren't scared of Mike Tyson, then you will beat him

 

Teddy Atlas really did get that scar while fighting off 9 Ninjas on the Brooklyn bridge.

He was protecting Mike Tyson.

 

I always hate when people say that fighters were " never the same " after losing to a certain fighter. It's true in some cases, but people throw this around like it's nothing.

Example: Fernando Vargas was not " finished " after Trinidad beat him. There is absolutely nothing that points to such an accusation. As a matter of fact, Vargas took the loss surprisingly well, the thing that ruined Vargas was steroids. It's a well known fact that when one takes steroids and then goes off of them, your body completely shuts down, and becomes very weak. Anyone who needs proof of this only needs to have seen his fight with Fitz Vanderpool.

David Reid, on the other hand, SHOWED signs of decline in the ring after losing to Felix Trinidad.

 

Question...When Mike beat Carl Williams by TKO in the first round 7 months before the Buster fight was he in his prime?

Are you saying he all of a sudden went form dominant to shot in 7 months and a flight to Japan at the ripe old age of 24?

Willie Pep won a round against Jackie Graves without throwing a punch.
