bingo, my old man and i talked about that fight, and we were convinced that Glengoffe was going to win.
Tsyzu over judah because few people remember just how good the undefeated judah was then. i dont think he very really recovered.
How much higher rated do you want this win to be? It catapulted Tzyu to the top of every p4p list and most people see it as Tzyu's best win.
i think the roids had a little to do wih people giving him no respect for it. despite the fact roy prolly used them himself when he went to heavy. go ahead, flame away.
hopkins over winky--- i know winky isnt at his best abover 160 but it was the manner in which hopkins beat him which i was most impressed with he tactically picked apart a tricky opponent with a watertight defense in wright. Wright hadnt lost for 8 years, was p4p top 5 and hopkins was 42
Calzaghe over Hopkins???..... Hopkins had beaten Wright and Tarver before that, knocked Calz. down in round #1, and Calz. fought his way back for an ugly win.
when i watched that fight i honestly felt that on neutral ground Tszyu would have won For me Calzaghe vs Kessler, very underrated win. And also Pac over Morales in the second fight. People lump Morales from the 2nd and 3rd fight together but there is a world of difference between them. Also Mayweather's dominant wins over Phillip Ndou and Demarcus Corley those are 2 solid wins that go unnoticed.
Hopkins was 43 and had previously been beaten by Taylor, in a more convincing manner, and Taylor beat him twice as well. Joe looked really amateur at times and scraped a contentious split decision. Most people give it as a good win for Joe, but it's unfair to credit it as anything more then that, imo. Calzaghe was red hot favourite to win the fight against last legs Bernard. On a real lower level, from that fight, and is a bit speculative. Hatons win over Urango (most people have/had Urango down as totally hopeless). Urango is now a top ten ring JWW contender, and was absolutely brutal in his last fight. As I say though what Urango does in future is pure speculative at the moment.
that victory was overated by many. a lot thought that shane was invincible after that win. it was a close fight. far from a schooling
Oscar De la Hoya win over Ike Quartey is very underrated by many,that's a fight where Oscar showed his desire to win at all costs in the last two rounds.
