Top fighters that deserve massive credit for courage...

Yes, the whole prospect of that happening may well talk me out of the life time ban bet I intend to find if this goes down.:yep

 

I think it's ridiculous to sign up for a lifetime ban. Just think of it this way, if we had been making lifetime bans for the last 20 years, the only people posting on this website would be Calzaghe, Ottke, FMJ, Cotto fans + Brooklyn150.

 

Ultimate show of faith in your man. Not you of course, but most Calzombies, I just couldn't read their horse poo if Pavlik were to lose to Joe. Not to mention, it would show that I've been absolutely wrong with easily 50% of my post count on here. What good would I be to the forum any way, if that proved to be the case.

 

If everyone got fights correct, we would all be very rich and there would be no debate. You are a respectful poster and contribute good stuff here. Don't sign up for a lifetime ban because you will still look anyway.

I can't rule out a Pavlik win and I'm sure you can't completely rule out a Calzaghe win. We would have half a year's build up... lol

 

PBF - Fought Lightweight's lineal champion and Light Middleweight's best champion all in one year.

Hatton - Last 2 fights composed of P4P#1 PBF and top lightweight Castillo.

Wlad - Unified the heavyweight division and fought and beat the guy who made a devastating TKO over him the first time.

Mundine - Fights Australians best fighters like Soliman continually, and is now chasing heavy hitting 160 lber Kelly Pavlik.

Khan - Faced veteran/former world title St.Claire, Commonwealth champion Willie Limond, veteran Graham Earl and is calling out Nate Campbell at the age of 21!






























u c wat i did dar

 

What about Andrew Hartley?!? Turned back the time to when he was 1-6 to give a punishing defeat to the undefeated Sugar Z, Charlie Zelenoff.

 

Tomasz Adamek.

 

Calderon, past his prime, moving up to 108 and fighting B level guys that have crazy size advantages over him.

Povetkin, moving up the HW ladder extremely fast instead of hanging around in Europe for a while making money taking easy fights for years, then calling out the #1 ranked HW and demanding a fight with him as soon as possible.

Mosley fighting Forrest and Winky TWICE. That's a man who wants to face tough challenges and prove himself.

 

I would like to add in Yuriorkis Gamboa (not sure if he has been mentioned yet...too lazy to check).

While most (even the greatest of fighters) take on hand picked bums for their first few fights (and for some longer), this man has taken on NOONE with a losing record so far in his 9 pro fights. Check out the records of the guys he has fought (in chronological order)...

6-1-0
7-0-0
40-11-0 (FIGHTING A GUY WITH 40 FREAKIN WINS IN YOUR THIRD FIGHT!!!!????)
12-5-2
17-4-1
25-1-0
19-2-0
7-4-2
13-1-1

And is already slated to take on Jimenez (23-2-2) and Rojas (25-6-1) in his next two fights.

Oh and btw...THIS IS ALL WITHIN A SPAN OF LESS THAN FOURTEEN MONTHS (after the Rojas fight that is...just over 12 months as of right now)!!!!

 

1. Chico-He went out of his way to fight the best in his division, even if it was suicide and he fought recklessly when he could have boxed. He simply chose not to.
2. Sugar Shane-turned down big paydays in return for tougher challenges.
3. Roy Jones-Could have retired after the Ruiz fight, but continued to fight at light heavy even after being knocked out twice in brutal fashion.
4. Glen Johnson-Should have an award named after him for sportsmanship in boxing. Warrior in the ring, gentleman outside it.
5. Pacman-for continually throwing that damn straight left in both Marquez fights even though he kept getting plastered by counter right hands!!!!!!!

 

I'll mention Carlos Quintana, because nobody else has. Once a very good puncher, he has turned into somewhat more of a boxer, and has been facing some tough competition as of late and doing well.

W12 Joel Julio, despite Julio's hype machine.
LTKOby4 Cotto, a fight Quintana rushed to accept, and lose.
W12 Paul Williams, few expected him to do well, but turned in a shiny performance.

And now he's fighting an immediate rematch with Williams, no easy task.
