I consider Calzaghe English because he was born in Hammersmith. Always do think their nationality is where their from regardless of passports. Just feel that way and always have.stujones wrote:The one who lost to Sugar Boy Malinga and got a lucky decision vs Hasine Cherifi.Max Molyneux wrote:Prime Reid who wasn't just their for the money would of took him.

Robin Reid is the most overated fighter in British boxing, well between him and Herbie Hide.
Yes, I scored the Reid vs Calzaghe fight to Reid, but alot of fighters could have beaten that version of Joe - he hadn't sparred due to hand injuries and suffered food poisioning FFS. Yet it was still close.
No, I'm not a huge fan of Joe's - I haven't like the amount of "challenges" he has faced during his nine year reign and I don't associate him as Welsh to be honest, but Lacy showed a damn good chin in March if nothing else and has good power. He will outwork Tarver and would KO this mid 30's version of Beyer, he would get outboxed vs Kessler.
Try and get a copy of Reid v Cherifi or Malinga. That's the "prime" Reid you keep going on about! I really think you should have a look.Max Molyneux wrote:I consider Calzaghe English because he was born in Hammersmith. Always do think their nationality is where their from regardless of passports.

To say Reid is the most overated ever is over the top as it's said about nearly every one in anything. Theirs no point in saying that as one day it will be said about someone else.
I admit I've barely watched any Reid fights due to not having Sky Sports though so I can't say much. But to win a world title does say your good enough.
Max you tend to pay too much attention of fighters nationality, back em because they have talent & are exciting fighters.Max Molyneux wrote:I consider Calzaghe English because he was born in Hammersmith.

Harrison does have a good chin though even though he's taking feather punches so thats why I'll go with a points win.lvlarc_uk wrote:I'm with you, though I can't see Harrison lasting more than 8 rounds with Pacman, & he's bit smaller than Morales too.
True, thats Pacs attack but Harrison is nothing like a counter puncher. He just plods forward throwing hands, I think Pac would knock the crap out of him for 6-7 rounds before Harrison was rescued.Max Molyneux wrote:Harrison does have a good chin though even though he's taking feather punches so thats why I'll go with a points win.lvlarc_uk wrote:I'm with you, though I can't see Harrison lasting more than 8 rounds with Pacman, & he's bit smaller than Morales too.
Pac's nice to watch but he just throws wild fast swarming attacks that would be made for a counter puncher as Morales showed the first time and the same with Marquez.
Not impressed he's fighting Morales again though. The guy clearly needs to step up in Weight, otherwise he'll take another beating.
Yeah Harrison ain't no counter puncher. Just wonder because he's naturally bigger than Morales that would he be last the distance.nickd wrote:True, thats Pacs attack but Harrison is nothing like a counter puncher.

No Skill?Max Molyneux wrote:Damn that people fast but has no skill!
I think a prime Hamed could KO Pac as he couldn't walk onto his shots like some of those guys.
Way he blamed the gloves in the 1st Morales fight too.
He beat Barrera, one of the best technicians in the game. :He's a very effective puncher, once he spots weakness he will go for the kill, plus he has a great chin and heart to match. He also has great headmovement and a solid jab, reminds me of a mini Tyson 
Ok nite. Yup, Hopkins certainly looked washed up.Max Molyneux wrote:I'm not inpressed with Urkal either.Mattyp151 wrote:I'm sure Oktay Urkal is a fantastic follow up fight for one of the top British fighters after a terrible performance in their "Invasion"Max Molyneux wrote:http://www.BS.com/?m=show&id=4487

Least we don't sell washed up fighters to the public like Mosley, Hopkins- and Vargas for $50 dollars.
Only impressed with Mayweather at ze moment.
Yeah he was really open minded and giving new ideas in Martial Arts and was very fit anyway though.lvlarc_uk wrote:You seen this interview? Seen it on tele few years ago. Eccentric character but thought it was amazing what he was doing, ego yes but pushed physical specimen to the limit!
