What's good for the goose must be good for the gander..
I'm completely against ODLH v PAC, but always when there is a shadow of superfight looming, topics get beaten to death over and over.. Hatton Mayweather I think had 12 topics on the first page alone, all basically saying the same thing...
I find it saddening though that people actually have to be spending thread after thread DEFENDING the validity of this fight... When there are equal amount of thread actually BEGGING for other fights to happen, that probably won't because the money isn't there, and ODLH is pulling the strings....
It's backwards I tells ya..
Confusing as phuk if you ask me, I come in here thinking the fight is a done dealQuote:

Lyle who are you calling David and who are you calling Goliath in the Holyfield-Tyson matchup? Holyfield was taller but Tyson was the natural Heavyweight. Tommy Hearns was taller than Tyson but I certainly wouldn't have said he was BIGGER. I could make a list of fighters that have stepped up and beat bigger guys just like your list.Quote:

Roberto Duran v SRL
This list too could go on and on.
I would be quite interested in a ODLH-Pac fight even though I would rather see Oscar fight Marg I just can't see it happening. I'd be willing to bet that it would be on of the biggest selling fights in history anyway. Just the fact that its Oscars last fight would have even non boxing fans buying it I think.

Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield may have started out in different weight classes BUT Holyfield was the bigger guy he was not only taller but he was in better shape than Tyson, he was stronger and had more stamina and in the rematch they both weighed in at 218.
And if you don't like that then how about Bowe-Holyfield or Lewis-Holyfield?
Your corrections is the general sentiments... I rather wait 'til the fight is over before giving my final assessment... that's IF the fight will be made... ;DQuote:

Yep being a huge Evander fan I loved Bowe-Holyfield II and I actually scored the Lewis-Holyfield II fight a draw so in my eyes the right results came out of them 2 fights just in the wrong orderQuote:

Does anybody remember the last time somebody went up a total of 7 weight classess to fight? Help me cause I don't.

so when the Pacquiao news is a little slow, Saddoboxer bumps threads from a year ago.
Also, while you were pointing out that Lyle was wrong, you were wrong yourself in saying this was a no lose situation for De La Hoya. sooo....
Basically I wanted to neg rep you but I couldn't.
of course you realize that in PAC - DLH size turned out to be irrelevant. It was all about fitness and conditioning, age, whatever. DLH just wasn't there. There was no glory in beating that version of DLH, that's for sure.
Little desperate eh ?Quote:
