What are your strangest boxing opinions?

My Strange Thoughts.

-SRR is overrated at MW.
-Mike Tyson by 1995 would have held wins over Lewis, Bowe and Holyfield had he not gone to prison.
-Larry Holmes would have beaten George Foreman in the 70s 80s and 90s.
-Vitaly Klitschko is lucky to have had the fight stopped when it was before Lewis got a chance to pull out a more decisive win which would have damaged his rep.
-The 90s had a deeper HW division than the 70s.
-Antonio Tarver in no way shape or form beat Roy Jones in thier first meeting.

 

Nothing strange at all about that one.

The general opinion is that RJJ won a close fight.

 

As many times as I watch it, I never see Jeff Fenech being robbed against Azumah Nelson in the first fight. I've watched it many times, and Fenech's shots are weak, and many of them miss or are blocked. I could even see Nelson getting a decision win.

As many times as I watch it, I never see Thomas Hearns being robbed in the rematch against Leonard. Leonard was knocked down twice, but he also alomost stopped Hearns on at least two occasions. The draw seemed fair.

As many times as I watch it, I never see Maurice Blocker beating Marlon Starling. Starling seemed to have the edge in that one.

 

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahaha
hhhhhhhhhhhhhahahahahahaha

oh that was good, thank you.

 

If he had performed as good or as near as good as he did against Tyson throughout his career you wouldn't be laughing.

 

Oh, you were only two years old when he fought Tyson. Excuse me, you probably haven't seen the fight.

 

- Vitali Klitschko won the fight, but Lennox Lewis won the event.

 

After his dismantling display against Tyson inside the Tokyo dome, he could well have been, had he stayed away from the cheeseburgers. Its up for debate if he was physically conditioned against Holyfield that a win was on the cards. He certainly would have taken Holyfield into the late rounds, thats for sure. Then Bowe and Lewis would have been next in-line. Bowe had the boxing ability to match Douglas, although not the same footspeed Douglas showed against Tyson. He wasn't as good inside either.

 

This is very definitely your standout choice per thread topic!

 

When Douglas was in shape, he would have given Bowe all he wanted. Maybe more. Douglas could have out jabbed Bowe, and was cabable of giving him the same quick combinations Golata bothered him with. Douglas always had a tendacy to fade down the stretch. Bowe always showed some heart when hurt, and more heart than I thought he posessed in his 2nd fight with Golata.

Douglas could outpoint Bowe if he didn't fade too much, and get ko'd near the end. I have a feeling that is what would happen. Bowe by ko while down on points.

This is way off target I guess. This is not a Douglas vs. Bowe thread. I already stated by strangest opinions earlier.

 

You're just upset because I haven't asked for that Scott Le Doux action you've got. :good

 

George Foreman stayed out of boxing for ten years, exclusively, to avoid having to face Larry Holmes.

Lennox Lewis might be universally considered a top ten HW, if only he wasn't British.

Roberto Duran would still be the World LW Champion, if he wasn't a glutton, and hadn't been in a career ending car wreck.

Holmes conducted himself with class and dignity after his first match with Mike Spinks.

37 year old Jack Johnson would have decisioned Jess Willard over 45 rounds in the Havana heat, if only he'd been in the kind of shape he was in for Jim Flynn and Jim Jeffries (ripped at 195 pounds), and eventually would have lost his title to Dempsey.

The Jess Willard of Havana may have outlasted the Jack Dempsey of Toledo in a 45 round match.

Wille Pep might have been able to decision SRR at 140 pounds, during WW II.

 

Ohhhhhhhhh i just
