Thats not what i meant and you are simly just trying to spin my post for your agenda....whatever that is. Mike Tyson may have had a prime body but he didnt have a prime night, trainer change,distractions and so on.
The first is true. They dont get stronger, yet the phrase was meant for those with excellent stamina. Often when the face opponents who have less stamina, they come on as the fight lengthens, hence the phrase. You are absolutely correct though, no one's getting stronger. The second?? Forget about it!!! Yes, conditioning will help you take more punishment, but a China Chin will always be a China Chin. Some fighters cant take punches well. Ideally you work on conditioning, defense, neck muscles, etc, but yet and still?? Certain fighters will still have a private China collection. Most Ko shots are the ones a guy doesnt see coming and if you dont have a good chin, the conditioning, strengthing, etc wont save you. Especially, if said punch, comes from someone who can CRACK.
My number one myth is that fighters do not have to fight in the USA (the mecca as they think) to make the most money for there career. Hatton vs Mayweather at MGM Grand will probably get 18,000 yes approx we all agree with that. If Hatton vs PBF was in th UK who here believes thay could sell out Wembley stadium which is 80,000. I DO. Tszyu vs Mitchell in Phoenix had 9,000 people at the fight. Tszyu vs Lieja in Melbourne had 33,000 or something like that. Its a myth why do people get on Calzaghe's back for fighting in the UK when its clear he gets more money fighting there and bigger crowds.
but still if a fight is say in the UK or Australia it gets more publicity than when our guys fight overseas. More Aussies buy the PPV fights that our fought on our shores than the ones when our fighters fight in the states. Why and lets be honest the numbers probably stay the same in the USA even if the fight is overseas or on USA soil.
i agree. Bring back Madison Square Garden. Staples Centre would be a good place aswell. Just out of curiosity how many people does these places hold. MGM Grand Ceasers Palace Mandalay Bay
Depends who you are. Mormeck has lost big €€€ fighting in the US for King. He fights once a year for ridiculous purses... Tiozzo who came back in France obtained 3.000.000€ to fight a shot DM in Germany, Mormeck obtained 300.000€ to fight a much more dangerous Bell in the US...
How about the myth that Floyd runs the whole fight yet somehow he always manages to land more punches than his damn opponent. Figure that one out.
Not many people are paying 1000$ to see Calzaghe fight in America -fullstop- Not that many would go fullstop -fullstop- He isn't Hatton and will make more in the UK -fullstop-
Lifting weights is bad for a boxer. Total myth. If fact the opposite is true. It just depends on how to lift weights. When you do a rep, explode it out (just remember to not lock your arms or legs) and bring it back slowly. Slow reps do not help.
"The phrase 'pound-for-pound' was created solely for Ray Robinson." Myth. He may have helped popularize it, but other writers had called fighters 'pound-for-pound the best' before they did Ray Robinson. Such as Canzoneri, Fitz, etc..
SRR predicted that he would kill his opponent in the ring - and it came true???!!!! too uncanny for my liking
