    I've got some unpopular opinions-
    Chico Corrales gets WAY too much credit for his come from behind victory over Castillo, I mean, he's down on all fours and just spits his mouthpeice out, acts like its unintentional, buys him a shitload of time. In '04 when Freitas did the same to him, to avoid a ko, Goosen was pissed.

    That Paul Williams is overhyped, will get owned by the best in the 154lbs division that is steaming hot.

    mine is that....

    it was holyfield fault about the whole bite fight with tyson....
    he was headbutting like mofo and once he got what was coming to him
    he ran away....

    why people say ohh tyson should not have bitten him etc
    well he already had huge cuts from holyfield(who is known for head buts)

    so why was he supposed to keep fighting fair and let holyfield be rewarded for fouling

    i do like holyfield but me that night...he was the one that acted like a coward....if you start a dirty fight be prepared to finish it

    also so many fighters have compained about holyfield's fouling...yet the general public somehow manages not hear it
    and the one time he was on wrong end of the foul, he was made to be a big vitaim

    He hit Lewis with a shot to the front of his face. Somewhat of a straight right hand. Its rare when a fighter slaps with a shot to the front of an opponents face. But it usually seemed that he landed his hooks with his hands slightly open, or he hit them with the side of his gloves. That is a slap.

    -Clottey will answer his critics and become unified WW champ
    -Shaquille O'Neal should fight Nikolay Valuev for the title. Shaq TKO 7.
    - I think that Holyfield was competitive with Lewis and Tyson because of steroids
    - Amir Khan besides having no chin has bad footwork and miedocre boxing skill
    -Andre Berto is not the next big thing
    -Danny Jacobs is
    -Even if David Haye gets KOed by every live body in the HW division he is still the most exciting big man around today and the default peoples champ
    -Bring back 15 rounders
    -George Chuvalo would be HW champ in todays era
    -James Toney beat Sam peter twice

    1. Are you ****ing serious? A man that beats other professional high level fighters up for a living gets beaten down by a basketball player that has never showed he can fight at all, let a lone at that level?

    2. Mediocre boxing skill does not grant you silver medals at the olympics, dumbass.:rofl

    Amir Khan would beat you to a pulp in 15 seconds in the ring.

    It's laughable how you're hacking on him. :lol:

    From 1992-1996 Riddick Bowe would have beaten Lennox Lewis.

    Never shown he could fight at all? Obviously you don't watch the NBA, shaq is ready to throw down with force and a couple of guys would still be in a colma if those huge haymakers he threw landed.

    Khan is fast and is willing to fight. But as far as skill goes hes not good.

    Khaosai Galaxy would have sparked out Vic Darchinyan at 115.

    Sure he would.. sure..

    Ever been to the gym, ever seen a heavyweight champion spar?

    I don't think you can grasp the reality of what a heavyweight champion, fighting at that level would do to Shaq.

    aj I urge you to go to Berlin or Hamburg and watch these guys spar.

    Chagaev, Virchis, Gomez, Valuev, Brewster, Boswell and ofcourse Dimitrenko, Povetkin, Boytsov etc.

    I really do.. you would think of them differently.. it's different in person than behind a screen.

    Nah, if Morales hadn't lost to an average Raheem then I would have agreed. I do agree though that Pac did put the nail in the coffin in regards to Morales' career.
