I didn't take an active interest in ODLH's career. Couldn't buy into the hype but now accept that he was better than I assumed he was.
This is more of a current day answer but I don't pay attention to women's boxing as much as I should and also some of the lower divisions today. For example outside of the Shigeoka brothers and Pradabsri, I really couldn't tell you anything about the current minimum weight division. For a classic answer, like I said in an earlier post I haven't seen Ali vs Holmes or Louis vs Marciano. I haven't seen either of the Tyson vs Holyfield fights in full. I haven't watched Jones vs Ruiz in full. I have never watched a Monzon fight in full. The only Sugar Shane fights I've watched are his fights against Margarito and Pacquiao. I haven't seen Nelson vs Sanchez in full. There might be more but off the top of my head those are the biggest "walk of shame" confessions I have.
I get it. I love Ali, but some fights where he's totally in control, later fights that is, it can be a bit of a drag. But he's still my hero
Don’t watch Ali vs Holmes man. You’ll be depressed for weeks. It’s the biggest crime in all of professional sport that that fight was ever sanctioned. It’s truly sad.
I meant I haven't watched any after Sahaprom. Tatsuyoshi shouldn't have been in the ring at 1999 let alone 2009.
In the spirit of brutal honesty here is my confession. I've seen very few Floyd Mayweather fights... Only Manfredy, Corrales, Hatton and Gatti. While I appreciate his talent, I absolutely couldn't stand the guy's personality! - and couldn't get on board with watching him or paying money to watch him.
Never interested in Roy Jones FMM bored me to death so gave up on him Sweat Pea bored me after a while too Never bothered with Lennox Lewis as he also bored me mainly because he was one of the biggest men and hardest punchers of his day yet seemed to fight overly cautious and down right scared too many times so I stopped watching him too same goes for Vladimir Klitschko.
Some of these posts make me cringe My walk of shame: I think all of the old timers (pre-30s) were complete neanderthals and I have no clue why posters go on and on about them Go easy on me
I thought Nino LaRocca was the real deal and headed to stardom and domination. I am not making this up.
