  1. Lennox was good. Showed heart at times was susceptible to the punch (but who isnt at heavy) Left too early and felt he duckt the 2nd Vitali fight. Retired too early for my liking.
  2. I was sold on Bute till Froch did him in. Im not calling Froch a cheat at all but I was skeptical of him doing an interview with his gloves on...? What was that?
  3. If you can have eyebrows like Pei Mei then you win hands down.
  4. Every Fighter is different. I say go for the gold. He (Ricky) would probably give the best welters a run for there money. I for one would like to see him and Brandon Rios go at it really. Schechanko is a good fight.
  5. Given my relatively short time as a casual boxing fan I can only think of two who were never knocked out: Okay one Gene Tunney (only because I am doing some reading on him but cant seem to find out who else never suffered a knock out there whole career. TKO included) Shane Mosley is one... Either way it is an amazing feat to accomplish and not many have the privilege of this notoriety me thinks? Who do you know has never been knocked out TKO'd or toweled there entire career?
  6. http://s2.hubimg.com/u/5034545_f520.jpg Record: 183-24-10-1 (131 KOs) Boxing Era: 1938-1963 Division: Light Heavyweight Archie Moore is a special fighter with many unique distinctions: Nicknamed "The Old Mongoose", Archie Moore has one of the longest careers in boxing. And at 48 years old, Moore was the oldest Light Heavyweight champion in boxing history, and he also has the most knockouts than any other boxer in history. Moore moved up from middleweight to light heavyweight, but was still continuously passed over for title shots. Moore fought the best of the best his entire career, but finally got his first title shot at 39, an age when most fighters would've long been finished. And at 39 years old, he outpointed Joe Maxim to take the Light Heavyweight Championship. Moore held onto this Light Heavyweight crown for almost a decade. In 1955, the ambitious 42 year old Moore attempted to move up in weight and take the Heavyweight crown from Rocky Marciano. Moore even dropped Marciano early in the fight, but Marciano rallied back and stopped him in the 9th. Moore won most of his 220 fights, but he was a light heavyweight who lost taking on some heavy weight notables like Rocky Marciano, Floyd Patterson and then Cassius Clay (Muhammad Ali). Muhammad Ali rhymed that "Moore would go down in four", and he did just that. The bigger men were a tougher challenge for Moore. Archie Moore is also the only boxer to have fought competitively through the eras of Joe Louis, Marciano and Muhammad Ali. Moore was a well known staple in boxing for a very long time, and has been ranked by reputable boxing site, Boxrec, the best pound for pound boxer of all time.
  7. last i looked they had but two champions but in two divisions. Heavy and middle...
  8. Yep, David Tua used to train with his off also. Of course his chin was carved from granite... but either way.
  9. long have been the days that everyone questioned Khans chin and he answered that against Maidana. For me Maidana is his best win
  10. You're kind of douche for making comments like that. Include yourself in that group then for hanging on the same board. Your room is to the left...
  11. So Khan gets no credit for outboxing Kotelink because the Ukrainian lacked serious punching power, but should get full credit for dominating the King of the feather-fists Paulie "Mouth Almighty" Malignaggi? Bobby making as much sense as usual, which is non-sense! mlol/
  12. Maybe Maidana is not a big puncher. Either way his chin is a wee bit fraglie
