Super middle weight Lolenga Mock was one more punch away from KOING the future WBA HW title holder David Haye.

Heres a tip, your whole 'I've humoured you, but now I'm bored, cheerio *rides off into sunset*' act would work a lot better when you can resist your urge to have the last word... :rolleyes:
Two of your own loathed back pedals in a singe post, outstanding. :)

Re: Post your Unpopular Opinions
were there any low blows? rabbit shots? how about that "cheerio" thing?
Re: Post your Unpopular Opinions
I think the 1st part is unpopular at least..
Ray Leonard was over rated as a boxer- But very underated as a brawler.
Re: Post your Unpopular Opinions
Ray Leonard was the most hyped and protected figher of all time. He earned more in his first fight than Marvin Hagler was earning after 15 years as a pro.
He only ever took ONE risky fight, the first Hearns fight. Each and every other fight was carefully chosen and he always waited until his opponent was the most vulnerable.
Duran was coming up in weight, Leonard was the naturally bigger man and he should have won. He messed Hagler around for years, and most certainly didn't desrve the decision against him. There is no way he drew with Hearns in their second fight.
All the time the image machines was focusing on his smile and hyping him up, he was doing coke and beating his wife up.
Re: Post your Unpopular Opinions
Evander Holyfield would never have been world heavyweight champion without juicing steroids.
Riddick Bowe would never have beaten Lennox Lewis
Mike Tyson didn't rape Desiree Washington
Floyd Matweather would have been competitive against any junior Welter or welterweight in history, but he wouldn't have made much money as people wouldn't have paid to see him fight.
Basketball has ruined Americal heavyweight boxing
Greenbeanz secretly has a crush on Miles and Brockton
Re: Post your Unpopular Opinions
I think Manny might knock Floyd out
I think Fury has the freakish unorthodox attributes and size that could beat Wlad
I'd prefer same day weigh ins
I'd prefer 8 divisions, maybe 10 instead of 17 plus 10 available catchweights at a moments notice.
15 rounds for title fights

You can paint most fighters in such light there X but really, LEonard fought plenty of guests and I find it difficult to believe he manufactured his entire career.
You can say the same about MAyweather or Ali but they still fought many high quality opponents for their respective times (the exception being the Manny duck of course).

Those are not unpopular opinions...
Those are all basic facts that nearly everybody agrees on with exception to the ridiculous basketball rubbish made up by American's as an excuse for losing to foreign boxers. And I dunno about Beans.
I like the Tyson bit. I've never met ANY single person who actually believes that Tyson wasn't set up by that bitch.

Previous day weigh ins are a joke, exploited in tragic fashion by the likes of JCC Jr. and others.
Bring back same day weigh ins and quit stalling.

Watched the Julian Jackson-Gerald McCellan II fight recently. I feel for Julian when post fight he stated "Gerald is a BIG middleweight. Dude came in looking like a LHW, just a bad thing for those who fight at walk around weight.
