What unpopular boxing opinions do you have?

He could not even hit that other basketball player on point blank range.. but his form is good enough to beat down and knock champions of this sport the **** out.

 

:thumbsup Same here.

 

malignaggi is the most courageous fighter out there

 

:good

A prime tyson was amazing! His defense and his movement were incredible for a heavy and his power was unmatched! He went downhill after he let Rooney go, too bad.:bbb

 

Ricardo Mayorga is the most technically sound fighter ever...

 

I'm European and white and I think that the division is incredibly weak. :good

Anyway, Sergio Martinez can clear out the light-middleweight division. :bbb

 

first thing that came to mind was the mayweather /baldomir fight. i remeber everyone complaining about mayweather and how ppl were leaving the arena halfway thru the fight and booing. to me it was an excellent boxing lesson that i completely enjoyed 100%. the name of the game is hit and dont get hit and pbf displayed that perfectly. it was a performance that only the hardcore boxing fans would really appreciate, i dont even think baldomir caught him with a half decent shot! the average fan just wants to see him be reckless and take more risks i guess.

 

I think R rated Kendall Holt and Allan Green are the truths.

 

yeah i'll agree with that one, judah beats hatton at any weight, no probs.
i always get loads of grief whenever i say i dont believe tyson was guilty of ****.

 

Calzaghe should have conquered his fear of flying and gone to America early 2000's.
Naseem Hamed is overrated.
Pacquiao though great, is not god.
Lewis is the 3/4th greatest heavyweight.
Wlad & Vitali are unfortunate to be in a weak division, I think they're good fighters that would slot in well anywhere in history.
I think losses, even if they come at the end of a career, factor BIG in judging a fighter as an ATG, hence I put SRR 5-10th. If they chose to fight on when they know they shouldn't, **** em, I'm marking them down.
America will slowly stop being the center of the boxing world.
American fighters who never fight abroad, it's like a football team that only ever plays at home.
European fighters that don't head to that states, or if they do it's only for 2,3 fights.
The thick ****s on here who speak out on a subject and give an opinion with no facts whatsoever.
The thick ****s on here who when presented with facts will twist them to suit their own arguments purely because they see a criticism of their fighter as personal.
People who constantly post fighter v fighter threads in the classic section trying hard to gain the respect of their peers, sad ****s.

As they come to me more will follow....

 

What the hell?

Anyways I think John Ruiz got jobbed in the first Valuev fight. There I said it.

haha this made me laugh, not that I feel the same on the matter.
A couple of unpopular opinions, off the top of my head:
Pac won both fights with Marquez, ok there are rounds in the second fight which are total pick 'em rounds so re scoring it I could easilly have it different but the draw in their first fight was virtually a robbery in my opinion so that makes up for it.

Also, Sugar Ray Leonard beat Marvin Hagler close but clear, not the controversial decision that I had heard about.

Oh and Barrera beat Marquez too, I honestly am a fan of Marquez... Barrera also beat Morales 3 times, and it's doing my head in he's just about an hour away and I can't meet him, maybe I am a Barrera nuthugger.

Eubank beat Watson in their first fight, It was made out to be a robbery of Watson, but I think the hate for Eubank influenced this. I'm a big Watson fan too, check my avatar...

De La Hoya beat Whitaker, no controversy, I take it the love for Pernel and hate for Oscar also influences opinion on this.

That will do for now...
Oh, and I don't care how competitive 154 is, there just arn't enough active names to get me excited about. Paul Williams seems to be using it as a stop gap but Kirkland sounds a great prospect. I get sick of people pulling up weak divisions and justifying why they are great just to be smart. I'm speaking in general there, fair enough if you actually think 154 is one of the best, it's not the worst. Same goes for people bigging up inferior fighters and cards just to sound hardcore or are just afraid to admit that big names get us excited, no matter if they are no longer as good as they once were, its the drama and the memories they bring. I love the characters of the sport.

 

This is the truth, don't know why it would be unpopular.

Just imagine going into every fight knowing that you can't hurt the other guy and have a virtual 0% chance of a knock out.

 

:good Agree with ya.
