Write one paragraph about one topic.

I knew it! :happy

 

You can't use the expression "at the very least" in that way. You've written: "something mildly bad, something mildly bad, or at the very least, something worse". It should be the other way round, as the idiom means, "if it's not quite as extreme as those things, it's at least this thing". For example:

The previous paragraph could be regarded as arrogant, dismissive, or at the very least, pedantic.

[OK, that was two paragraphs ... three now ... crap ...]

 

Fair enough. To be honest, I thought I ought to contribute to this thread but I hadn't a clue what I should write a paragraph about so, lacking any good ideas, I wrote about that.

 

At the very least, Hagler got a draw.

I'll resist the several dozen lines of 'deal' smilies for the sake of us all.

 

:rofl

This **** cracks me up. Pongsaklek Wonjongkam indeed.

 

For you PJ.


Because any way you look at it, the Mayweather, Jr.–Marquez fight is simply a case of one very skilled super featherweight fighter moving up to an uncharted division to battle one very skilled welterweight; a mismatch in terms of size. Mayweather has been fighting comfortably in the welterweight division for years now, while Marquez has gone up to lightweight just recently, which is two divisions down from welterweight, and though he looks stronger and gives impressive display of absolute heart, grit, and toughness there, he sometimes looked more vulnerable than ever, especially against his fight with former lightweight champion Juan Diaz, who bullied and pressured him effectively early on.

 

I'll do a paragraph.

Floyd Mayweather jr. I've (as in me, the poster) been biting my tongue-

A lot of people have embarrassed themselves. When Mosley confronted Mayweather after he beat Marquez, a lot of people said things to the effect of; 'he'll never fight Mosley, it's a 50/50 fight', 'Mosley is the worst match-up for him' etc etc, as soon as the fight got signed the same people immediately said that the fight doesn;t count because Mayweather is expected to win. People claim to be objective and both blatantly and cringingly have an agenda, for reasons unknown to me. If Mayweather does well in a fight, people automatically get their backs up and start to bring up the fact that it's nothing that other fighters from the past haven't done before him, even when no comparisons were being made to said greats from the past. People have a problem with us living in the time of greatness, and it's backwards in my perception. He's the only fighter who can beat a fighter like Zab Judah for instance, and not get credit for simply beating a good fighter. As a result of Floyd's exclusive bar being set too high, Jose Luis Castillo is now remembered as **** all, when he is the highest achieving lightweight of our era. I can easily reel fighters i think were better than Floyd off the tip of my tongue at any given moment, i'm not on a bandwagon, but the man is great, really great. If it's not one thing it's another, people definitely have an agenda, and it's depressing. If idiots are going to say he's better than Robinson etc, then yeah, tell them they're wrong, but in terms of rating him objectively, people need to basically stop hating, and be consistent with their criteria. I'll never stop enjoying current boxing, and i'll never get carried away with current fighters. My advice, do the same.

I'm not getting into any debate about this, i can;t be bothered, i've made my opinion known recently and i've only wrote this because Addie's thread title requests a paragraph, and this topic pisses me off right now.

 

everyone knew the fight was over when after two rounds, Mosley was breathing hard like an old tired dog. If that was a young mosley that caught Floyd in the second round, the fight could have ended with an early TKO.

 

Can somebody write a poem about Pongsaklek Wonjongkam?

 

To those around him, "Kid" Akeem Anifowoshe was a Boxing superstar in the making. He had the skills, the height, and the heart that it takes to become a world champion. That day in 1991, when "Kid" Akeem challenged Robert "Pikin" Quiroga for his IBF Super Flyweight title will remain both one of Boxing's greatest footnotes, and one of it's biggest black eyes. The fight was as brutal as they come. "Kid" Akeem used his jab and his height to keep the attacking Quiroga at range, but "Pikin" was able to get inside and land throughout the fight. Both fighters took tremendous punishment. By the 12th and final round the fight looked to be up for grabs. The two warriors went all out in a great finish to a bloody war. As the winner was announced -- "And still, IBF Super Flyweight Champion of the World..." -- "Kid" Akeem collapsed in a heap near his corner. Anifowoshe was rushed into surgery to relieve pressure on his brain caused by a subdural hematoma. He survived the surgery, and Robert Quiroga visited him in his recovery room (after being hospitalized himself.) "Kid" Akeem recovered from his brain injury, but his Boxing license was suspended. He died three years later after taking an ill-advised fight in his native Nigeria. His final record was 23 - 1. The fight with Quiroga, for which Anifowoshe is primarily known was put on a pedestal as Ring Magazine's 1991 Fight of the Year.
