Your allowed to clinch for a minute,and if you think youd survive for 5 minutes at the Blue Horizon not clinching,your only fooling yourself.
Bringing up the Tarver fight,where Bernard was fighting away is ludicrous.
And what was Tyson complaining about right before he took a chunk at of Holyfields ear?
Head butts
Holyfield even head butted Jeremy Bates for gods sake
Dude is your brain already starting to atrophy from all that Tofu? What the hell does this staement have to do with the topic...
Fact#1
Hopkins was showing his age against Taylor, he was starting slow and trying to conserve and it cost him, this trend was becoming progressively stronger, until he fought Tarver and was content with tucking his head and throwing one right hand at a time, clinching holding and hitting.. Wash, rinse and repeat... Same thing against Wright.. Albeit they were all southpaws so I can see him utilizing the straight right, but Christ all mighty!!! He was throwing 15 punches per round and only 3 were legal
Yor really full of shit on this one, seen the fight 5 times and that didnt happen, no more than any other fighters getting an inadvertent clash
If you dont like Holy then just admit it, but dont pontificate the dirtiest player in the game Ric Flair Hopkins, and then dig on Holyfield.. It looks supremely fanboyish and nuttugging
Favorites-I'm just gonna go with guys that are fighting or on the brink of retirement
Juan Diaz-don't really care so much if he's a good role model, just enjoy watching him fight
James Toney-favorite fighter ever, brilliant to watch, impeccable moral compass and fiber and all that.
Bernard Hopkins-I get why people don't like him, but I became a fan early and I'm a loyal fan if anything
Peterson Brothers-like watching them fight.
Evander Holyfield-round ten of Bowe-Holyfield I, etc.
Kelly Pavlik-Pretty fun to watch.
I'm tired of thinking, I'm sure there's more
Least favorites
Wladimir Klitschko-I'm not really concerned that he's not American, I can't have a list of fighters that I dislike and not have him on it, its just not right. Just to conform that little bit to the rules I won't include Daniel Ponce de Leon. Or Sam Peter.
Zahir Raheem-Boring boring boring, clench fall down clench fall down, whine.
Rocky Juarez-Has thrown 8 punches in his last 14 fights combined.
I'm sure there's more.
How the hell can juan diaz be classed as american
oh thats right because he lives there.........
with that logic you could say jude law, maria sharapova and lennox lewis are all american!!!
Juan Diaz was born in America, none of the other people you mentioned were. Lived there his whole life. There's been an argument about this before with ICB but if you're born in a country I consider you of that country.
