    I used to wonder how Salvador Sanchez or Danny Lopez would do against Muhamad Ali.

    Oh yeay and i didnt think Archie Moore was that good cause id always see pictures of him getting kod by Ali,Patterson,Marciano and thought this old man is a bum. Then i would point out how many losses he had to prove my point LOL! I was only like 9 so my rididculous thinking should be excused.

    When I saw the promo's for Hamed vs Barrera, I was in fear of Marco's life because the press truely had me believe that all Naseem had to do was land one big shot. That's the beauty of being a clueless kid back then and having the advantage of hindsight. The media manipulates people. Now why was it that I thought that was going to happen when I knew nothing about boxing? ...Because that's how Hamed was portrayed. "If this guy hits you it's all over".

    I was thinking that Hamed was gonna win, then my Dad said that he isn't going to beat Barrera and I was like 'WTF are you talking about?'.

    I still remember it as if it was yesterday when he told me :yep

    Well you can spot it a mile off:yep

    It's such a bad way of forumulating an opinion, something I learned very, very quickly.

    I still refer to Boxrec for dates every now and then and if I find a new fighter I like, I check their resume but don't let it be a determining factor.

    **** it.... I got hooked on boxing back in '76........ All I knew was Ali at the time..... I thought he was boxing.... In a way, I guess he was........ BUT! I had no clue any division under heavyweight even existed back then...... That's no ****......... It wasn't until Ray Leonard burst onto the scene that I figured out smaller dudes actually fought too...... However, I was hip to the **** by the time "Leonard-Duran" were gonna get-it-on in Montreal...... I was 13.......

    When I was young, I used to think that if fighter A beat fighter B and fighter B beat fighter C, then fighter A would also beat fighter C. Not just in boxing, but other sports as well. As so many have said before, it's all about styles.
