What unpopular boxing opinions do you have?

Can I discuss that with you a bit? From what the announcers said, it was the rule that if Judah fell down again after getting up it HAD to be ruled a TKO. I don't believe the ref had any real choice in the matter.

Anyway, mine is that I don't get all freaked out when heavyweights get knocked down and knocked out. People make it a huge deal how often people get knocked down (Wlad and Haye being the most popular at the moment), and I just think "These are big men punching hard!"

 

That champions should not be given the benefit of the doubt in close fights or rounds. Once the first bell has gone it should be just two guys fighting with no advantage given to either man. The champion has the advantage of keeping the title in the event of a draw and that should be the only advantage he gets.

 

I've always been of the belief that Zab Judah cost himself that fight by not taking an 8 count and by falling all over the place. I digress either way.

Unpopular boxing opinion: 147 is a very weak class right now.

 

I still think Pavlik would have a very good chance of beating Calzaghe.

 

How many times do you get to fall over from one punch?

I think I've been through this with someone before - Count to ten and get to where Zab gets up - Does he make it?

 

That Williams is a proven great above criticism.

 

The big money fights at WW have me excited..but the division is very thin and weak past the top 4.

Remove Cotto and Mosley and this is a very questionable division.

Carlos Quintana, Zab Judah, Kermit Cintron and Paul Williams are all moving on to higher weights. Clottey is a good fighter but not exactly a stylistic thrill and while Berto is exciting to watch, he's coming off his worst performance yet.

Outside of that what is there?

 

my mom's side of the fam is filipino, so when i say jmm beat pac twice there's always trouble

 

judah would beat hatton at any weight

 

I agree with you here, but you won't find many others that do...
