What are your strangest boxing opinions?

Har har har, de har har!:tong

 

I don´t love the dead Carnera, I´m not warped and not homosexual...


I just don´t like it when some little posters here don´t respect former champions, Carnera would surely beat the likes of Ibragimov, Briggs, etc...

 

- Lennox Lewis is the third greatest heavyweight of all time.

- Winky Wright is the best boxer in the world p4p at the moment.

- Mugabi-Hagler wasn't the superfight it's made out to be.

- Michael Spinks is overrated.

- Jack Johnson is overrated.

- Primo Carnera was not a bum.

- In fact, the whole 1930s is a grossly underrated era.

- George Foreman would get slaughtered for his opposition if he was white and/or European.

- Wlad is the more accomplished and more able of the Klitschko brothers.

 

I beg to differ. Ali's style was a defensive style that would allow for great longevity, so activity would actually help him. Ali wasn't in any wars before the layoff (unless if you want to call the Chuvalo fight a war), and he was actually getting better and better in terms of tightening-up his defense, and increasing his punching power. The layoff took something out of him that he would never get back, and he had clearly lost a step by the time he fought Frazier.

 

Rating the Heavies, ALI
JOHNSON
DEMPSEY
LOUIS
LIGHTWEIGHTS
LEONARD
GANS
WILLIAMS
DURAN
Plus Jimmy Wilde no 1 at fly

 

Possibly, but still I think you make Carnera out to be better than he really is.

 

I think the more significant point is that Carnera was better than history had traditionally credited him with being.

 

Carnera was a lumbering oaf of a boxer.

 

I don´t say he was great, but for some here it would be better at first to watch some other fights from Primo (not only against Baer and Sharkey at youtube) and than make a evaluation about him. He was a very good fighter, a Top 50 fighter and would beat most of today HW´s...

 

Welcome back forum clown! Any other jokes you have for us?

 

The only joke around here is the reflection of the cracking mirror as you walk past it.

 

Yeah, give me some more of your learnt by heart- verdicts...

 

Agreed.

I agree. Well, it wasn't the non-stop two way war that it's often made out to be. The 6th round was great, and Mugabi landed some good shots in the fight, but Hagler more or less whupped Mugabi and used his head as target practice with his jab.

Yeah, I think Wlad will go down with the better accomplishments. He will have more quality wins, if he doesn't already.

 

Joe Louis would be beaten by :

Ali
Foreman
Lewis
Tyson
Holmes

with RELATIVE EASE.
