Mr. Bassie is right. This had nothing to do with boxing. Winning a title by throwing over at least a 100 low blows within 9 rounds is outragious. The fact that everybody involved seemed pleased with it afterwards makes it even more shameful. Damn shame that the credibility of British boxing has sunk...

To the people who see Ottke's fights on German TV- what sort of things does he say in his post fight interviews? What sort of questions do the german pundits pose to him? Do they ever even touch on the fact that Ottke may have lost, or is it always 'OK Sven, you won again impressively, how did you ...

pvdh62, me being the president is an inside joke. If you find any of my old posts, you'll see why :wink: I know. That's why I showed you this :D face. But it's true you are a great admirer of Tua's devastating right hand, aren't you? :D But seriousely, I know this is not a political forum, but I to...

Ottke's legacy................... The biggest spoiler of all times????????????? Boxing is easy when you know upfront that you are not going to lose. You can use all your energy by running, hiding and fouling if nescesary. And if the other guy does hit you, you just start complaining to the referee. ...

Intresting info I found, wrap your mind around this one: America 1992 to 1999 3.2 million tobacco deaths 1.4 million alcohol deaths 6,237 tylenol deaths 0 marijuana deaths When will you people learn? This has nothing to do with right or wrong, it's all about money. This is the conspiracy going on i...

Wow, 24 years in prison for spending $200. That judge must have been high on drugs himself IMO. I mean, face it. Using the stuff Nunn was caught on trying to make a buck is as common in american society as ordering a drink at a local bar. That is, for the priviliged ones. Such as businessmen, politi...

120-109 ??????????????

Ah, a German judge.

Rule nr. 1 in the scorebook over there: as long as the hometownfighter [especially if he's the champ] doesn't go down, he wins the round.

Right, Svennie?

Anyway, a fair win by Eastman, but by a much smaller range IMO.

I met Duran once, it was in Las Vegas in '98, the day before he fought William Joppy. He was very relaxed, very friendly. Took time for all his fans and people that greeted him. He signed autographs and took pictures with anyone who asked for it. The night after the fight he was hanging out with his...

Good idea, lock it. This post has, as usual for mr. terap, NOTHING to do with boxing.

Why did I change my name???....How the hell did you find out I changed my identity???....Dutch people, they are sooooo smart....... :D Anyway, this morning I woke up and somebody, don't now who [God?????.....which one of them????] told me pvdh62, from now on your name is Vanbilderass.......[shocking...

I just called meneer van Dutch, and no, there isn't or ever has been a Dutch worldchampion. Even Tuur's WBO championship has to be taken lightly, since the WBO didn't have the credibility at the time he held it it has now[well,.......]. As Wouter already mentioned, Eddie Smulders did win a title in ...

Amen mr. Controversial. And respect to mr.Garfield. All has been said by these two wise man about this topic IMO.

My dear half-witted pdv, You do not know what the BIG media in the US (the major TV networks, the big newspapers --NY Times, Washington Post etc.) present to the large general public. They present only that Ali beat Frazier. They NEVER mention the first fight. They NEVER, ever show a picture of Ali...

Well, it is the noble art of SELFDEFENCE... So if you avoid getting hit, make the other guy look like a fool and prove your ring generalship without even having to take your arms off your back, than yes, IMO you win the round..................

Terap, you must be sick in your head. The picture of Ali being knocked down by Frazier was shown all over the world many times, right after the fight in the morningpapers as well as later in books, documentaries and on video free to buy for everyone. Frazier didn't expose Ali for being vulnarable to...

Pffffff..............you are missing the point, you dummies. Dariusz Michalczewski 48-0........and still active..........didn't quit at age 32 like Marciano..............one of the greatest lightheavy's of all times????????? Don't think so. One thing about Marciano you guys seem/want to forget: I DO...

Mike McCallum.
Rudi Koopmans!

Oh s**t, he beat a 28 year old Ali in that computer fight. How could I forget???? I EAT MY WORDS AND BOW MY HEAD. MARCIANO IS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIMES !!!!!!!!!!

Haha, good one Windmill. I guess I deserved that I reacted a bit pissed off because of terap's off-topic remarks about Ali. I shouldn't have put Marciano down as an answer. Still, you [and others] haven't given me names of good Marciano-opponents IN THEIR PRIME.

Terap, you are boring. This post is about Marciano. And face it, Marciano was the Brian Nielsen of the fifties. "Marciano was the Brian Nielsen of the fifties" That's supposed to be clever, right? You're an embarrassment. The depths of your ignorance is appalling. To even mention Nielsen ...

Terap, you are boring. This post is about Marciano. And face it, Marciano was the Brian Nielsen of the fifties.

Good post Controversial. I knew Marciano's record wasn't build on much quality, but I didn't know it was that bad. Still many boxingfans put him in their all-time top 5, some of them even on top. Based on that, yes he is overrated big time. In fact, by today's standards, fighting the poor quality of...

Yeah, I agree. At his best #9/10. At his worst [vs. Sedrick Fields] hardly top 100.

Auch!!..........Will Terap get up from this one???

Great story Broncano. It is generally known though that it was Lee Harvey Oswald that shot Bonavena. Case closed.
