Re: Trump attacks Iran

Mentally ill people are very fickle, examples: Tyson Fury and Donald Trump. Trump says he has 'cancelled' strikes against Iran after threatening 'very hard' attack tonight https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cly7nr3jzv5t It just never stops with him. He also just said "I love the inflation". Yo...

Re: 1988 Mike Tyson vs 2011 Wladimir Klitschko - who would win this match ?

No he would not have been a cruiserweight. :roll: He normally weighed well over 200 pounds. Beat a ton of guys that were well over 200 pounds and unlike Klitschko's opponents, had some had a lot of ability. Cruiserweights enter the ring well over 200 pounds after early weigh ins. Some are 220 plus....

Re: 10 things you didn’t know about Julio César Chávez vs. Oscar De La Hoya 1

Some interesting points. :TU: Would have been interesting had Chavez still be in his prime. Still, a very good performance by De La Hoya and in the second fight as well.

Re: Trump attacks Iran

I'm sure the US could beat Iran, but at what price is the big question. I could care less if Iran want to celebrate victory over the US till Doomsday. It's a stupid war that is in no way beneficial to us. Saying you're going to strike a blow against Islamic terrorism when you help Saudi Arabia is l...

I've met alot of people who hate him over Hiroshima and Nagasaki. If he doesn't do that, then the war could have gone on for much longer.

Re: What if Gerry Cooney had been on the 1976 U.S Olympic Boxing team ?

Just watching Cooney, from that fight, you could tell that he was a work in progress. Couldn't believe how skinny he looked. The left hok was already there. The other fight should have stopped after the second time that the other guy's mouthpiece fell out. He was obviously doing that to stall. Coone...

Re: Prime Tyson Vs Prime Foreman, who wins?

Tyson did not "refuse" to fight Foreman. He would probably have destroyed Foreman in 1990.
A prime Foreman probably would have destroyed Tyson.

Re: What if Gerry Cooney had been on the 1976 U.S Olympic Boxing team ?

Never saw Cooney as an amateur. Actually, don't think he would have been at the highest weight class at the time. He was only at 175 in 1975. However, he was over 200 when turned pro in early 1977.

Agree with that
Tyson beat Berbick, Smith, Thomas, Tucker, Tubbs, Spinks, Bruno 2x, Williams, and Ruddock 2x.
Klitschko beat Chris Byrd.

MAGA doesn't believe that. They only believe what Trump tells them. And boy that border "crisis" was so scary. A lot of sleepless nights. Downplaying the former border crisis helped Trump tremendously. There is some truth to this, but it's also important to note that the crisis was a solv...

Re: Mike Rossman-How good was he ?

Lujan-Davila wasn't televised but I saw it years later when I bought it off a video dealer. IMO, it was the best fight on the card, but a bad decision. Didn't think it was televised. I guess there were 3 title fights scheduled for 15 rounds so there is only so much time TV time available to set asi...

Re: 1988 Mike Tyson vs 2011 Wladimir Klitschko - who would win this match ?

I had the first fight a draw. Found my scorecard for it. Gave Usyk the 4th, 7th, 8th 10th, 11th, and 12th rounds. Gave Joshua the rest. Several rounds were close with next to nothing happening. It was a pillow fight. Thought Usyk won the 2nd Joshua fight and both the Fury fights. But they were all c...

Holyfield was the better heavyweight, though some people do underrate Charles. Pound for pound, Charles was certainly better.

Usyk appeared to dominate both rematches outlanding Joshua in 9 of 12 rounds and Fury in 10 of 12. I don't see any issue with his performances in either fights Plus since when is "dominating" a great opponent a must anyway? Ali certainly didn't "dominate" Joe Frazier, but he bea...

I see the difference in how you only want losses to count when you'd like them to. Like I said. No excuse ever took a loss off somebody's record. Saying a guy with 4 times as many losses as somebody is better in a roughly equal amount of fights though just doesn't follow any kind of logic. It's lik...
