THE STRANGE CULT OF GOLOVKINMANIA

[Tuan_Jim]

Calm down Riddick Blowe. You of all people should know you can't score a knockdown by brainlessly parroting the "said no one ever" cliche. In the days of the 15 pagers such lazy work would get you disqualified from further discussion.

Actually, that’s not the case. The only people who could ‘disqualify’ him would be Shep or The Law via a ban. He’d still be able to post so would still be part of the fight, or discussion. Or whatever this is. You could put him on Ignore, I suppose, but that wouldn’t be a DQ. It’d be similar to Ortiz pulling a ‘Death by cop’ Vs Mayweather.

Yes - I've always thought that placing a poster on ignore was the same as crying No Mas. It's an unmanly act, and should automatically result in a TKO loss. But similarly, relying on a cheap cliche to make a point is a low blow of Golotaesque purchase.

Without cliches man would lose his common language. We'd have to resort to barely audible, primitive grunts, like a Mayorga fight. Also, football would become extinct.

Sounds like a new neolithic period. That's the sort of future I'm striving for.

Pringle wouldn't hire one of these modern posters as a verbal sparring partner. They don't have the mental stamina for a 15 page thread. They just get by on bad language and a telegraphed quip. Where's the psychic feints and slippery wordwork? Where's the stomach to argue a point to the bitter end, where nobody cares anymore, or even remembers what the original point was?

you've never encountered Fat_Git?

Shite man, I am nothing like that in real life. Well, a bit maybe...

Like I am the only person who does that shite on here, there are a few kneeling beside me facing towards the same altar.

This forum is actually a place for debate, so it is all allowed. Glad you are so agreeable (apart from the times when you are not) to everyone online CP.

I jumped head first onto the Mathysse band wagon and he got beat .... so I like to think im a little reserved on fighter opinions however GGG is ridiculously talented .. not only does he hit like a mule, he has great feet quick hands and a very good brain .. however i did notice a small flaw his defence isnt tight later in the fight

He's somewhat open to guys with a gift for throwing lead rights out of rolls, and he often neglects his own lead right when opponents keep moving to his right.* Murray survived for as long as he did because he kept circling away from G's favoured lefts (body and hook), against convention.

He's hard to rate accurately, because he's clearly out in front of the other active middles (until proven otherwise), but at the same time, I haven't seen enough from him so far to think that he could've beaten Hagler; for a prime example. If we could make Hopkins ten years younger...

As for the last two pages, I see a lot of padded hometown records. How many of you came up in the CS, doing it the hard way? No tickling contests in them threads.

*Prefers instead to track and corner his man with nice footwork, so that he can resume his pressure without risking a big miss. An observation rather than a flaw at this point.
