The proverbial "belt" is wherever the ref deems it to be. Tony Weeks clearly explained (whilst delivering his final instructions) that punches on Kovalev's elastic waistband of his shorts were perfectly legal, since he was wearing them very high. He also explained that punches below this ...

Nobody says “below the waistband.” I think you are being a little too literal. Kov’s “belt” didn’t look high to me, but it’s the refs job to determine if a fighter’s “belt” is high. It’s not unusual for a ref to point out that a fighter’s “belt” is a little high before the fight. Pretty clear he sco...

..this is NOT the question of who was winning and who was losing the rematch..and it's not the question of effective body punches, it's about the stoppage and its legitimacy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLxlV5C4KHY i find both clips convincing. the first makes a good case for kovalev being easi...

Terrible video. First off, anything below the belt is an illegal punch, doesn't have to hit him square on the sack. Second off, the camera angles are horrible and the ref is almost always in the way when the worst punches are shown (as was the case in the majority of the replays HBO decided to show,...

I always liked Ward as a fighter. He is very good. However, the second fight with Kovalev was a complete joke. The low blows were Andrew Goloata-ish. And the ref, the HBO announcers, just pretended like it didn't happen (and still do when they talk about it). Max "dumb dumb" Kellerman toni...

Pointless subject. He is dead.

We know he was a target because he was black and it was a completely different time...why is the gov't waisting time on this shit?

yeah...Hearns beat Duran...which prompts me to say....with all due respect.....


THREAD FAILED

lol i respect how your trying to drop history on us.... but make sure u come correct

Ike definitely could have been heavyweight champion of the world. he had all the tools

BEsides the Johnson fight I havent seen any of Jeffries....what is everyone basing their opinions on? How many Jeffries fight are actually on film that have been viewed?

Douglas on THAT night was really on point. He fought with more speed then Lennox Lewis ever had. Lennox was never really a fast fighter, Douglas on THAT night (and that night only) fought like an all-time great. He boxed perfectly, and gave Tyson angles that i'm not sure Lennox could give because he...

The top 5 i think should be Holyfield Lewis Bowe Foreman Micheal Moorer Lewis beat holyfield past his prime, and lost to an ordinary fighter named Oliver Mccall, Holyfield never lost to such opposition. You could argue Bowe shouild be higher then Holyfield because he beat him 2/3 ...BUT they were ve...

God bless him. Amazing how hes still kicking especially given his lifestyle and those brutal fights, what a tough bastard.

cliff couser is a tyson lookalike fighter don't throw fights against him

Cliff Couser...someone told me he was Mike's cousin.

^^ good thing most of our posts are only a couple of sentences.

lol i find it odd that all the posters think holyfield would have won..but the poll says otherwise

Holy most definitly. I mean Tyson was a decent champion who got HUGE popularity because he did what the public wanted; which was he often knocked guys the fornicate out. Holyfield was too determined to lose to Tyson in his prime, Tyson never won a fight against anybody who gave him a challenge. Tyso...

No.

o hell yeah i included all that im on the 6th page of the paper and im at the paragraph where i want to provide examples of corruptions but i already gone over Sanctioning bodies, lack of a great heavyweight champion and the free tv situation

im writing a paper in my college writing class on why americans no longer value boxing. I'm trying to use examples of screwjobs in the history of boxing. Can someone help me find press row scorings of some controversial descions or polls on what the public thot who won? fights im tryna use are like:...
