    Already posted a video with some info on page 4 but basically, after Marquez KO’d Pacquiao, while everyone was cheering, he kind of just sat there...

    Here’s the video again:

    Starts at about 29:29. Watch for a bit and wait for the KO.

    Reread what I wrote. I said Buster Douglas was about as good as Carl Williams and Tyson was totally unprepared.

    Buster Douglas' pro accomplishments eclipse Carl Williams' and so did his performance versus Mike. Downplaying Buster. Stressing Tyson's circumstances. Saying it was a fluke. This is the boilerplate argument I'm talking about.

    Thanks for this very interesting to watch and observe. Marco Antonio Barrera of the 3 Mexican TV commentators seems the least animated by the knockout. My take is that he is cool, calm and professional. Some commentators come across as fans of one fighter or the other whilst Marco does not. Even Julio Cesar Chavez gets up and is screaming.

    Williams had a better resume than Douglas going into the Tyson fight. He almost beat Holmes and was more highly regarded than Douglas. You don’t have a clue.

    Leonard stung Hagler with a left hook in the 1st round. 1:58-1:53 minute mark and gained his respect.

    NTM, Douglas had just lost his mother before (IIRC).

    Good post, I hate how the narrative is douglas was a bum that got lucky. Very solid HW, skillful big man. His downfall had more to do with his lack of discipline and bad choices outside of the ring, not lack of skill. Not saying at all that he would ever beat holyfield but the man clearly did not show up to win that night. Much harder to defend the belt than win the belt.

    Anthony Mundine could've been so much more if he had stayed at 168 with two more 12 round fights under his belt before Ottke I think he would've stopped him.

    Kell Brook could've been a top P4P fighter and possibly the UK's best fighter since Calzaghe

    Mayweather would always have beaten Pacquiao

    GGG should've moved to 168 after the second Canelo fight (as I believe he would KO Callum Smith and be lineal champion)

    Lomachenko is currently the best fighter in the world

    Paulie was kicking Conor's butt in sparring before he got tired (Paulie was out of shape and they did him dirty with the small clips they released)

    Jeff Horn is a cheating rat scum bag whose career has been built on corruption.

    I agree with everything you said except the last one "Jeff Horn beat Manny up fair and square" No, Horn didn't.

    Joshua's supporters should be a little embarrassed for the extent of their gloating over Wilder's defeat/riding on the coattails of Fury's victory. Anybody would think Joshua actually threw the punches that defeated The Bronze Bomber. :lol:
