Your unpopular Boxing opinion.....

by Adam D Wed 16 Nov 2011, 9:05 am

This might go down as the worst idea ever with you lot but fortune favours the brave and all that....

One of the other sections has a thread where people post something they truly believe in but goes against popular opinion. In other words, let us know something outlandish which you believe to be true.

Dont make them up and remember the house rules before you go and tear people apart for their post - remember its their opinion and they are entitled to it.

So for example, you might think that Manny won the fight on Saturday comfortably or that Tyson v Bruno had the best opening round ever - let us hear about it and don't be ashamed! Share with your secrets with us all......

Remember - dont post things just to get a reaction. Only post things you actually believe in.

Off you go!

I believe both Eubank and Benn, would have beaten either of Toney and RJJ in 1994.

Now, I believe that China will declare war on the West within 20 years...

Maybe I should clarify - it should be a boxing opinion! Will change the OP immediately!

by **Fists of Fury** Wed 16 Nov 2011, 9:38 am

If it's boxing opinion, then it needn't be in trash talk.

I believe that Floyd Mayweather Jr lost to Jose Castillo quite clearly first time round.

I also believe that Lennox Lewis beats any heavyweight in history other than Muhammad Ali and possibly George Foreman.

That's not controversial?

by **HumanWindmill** Wed 16 Nov 2011, 9:44 am

Jack Sharkey could have, and should have, been remembered as a genuinely great heavyweight had his discipline and attitude matched his physical gifts and boxing talent.

by Rowley Wed 16 Nov 2011, 9:45 am

Not sure if this is controversial or unpopular but I actually think Primo Carnera could fight. I also think De La Hoya is on the whole massively over rated.

by No1Jonesy Wed 16 Nov 2011, 9:46 am

I believe that Honeyghan would have beaten any version of Curry that night

by The Galveston Giant Wed 16 Nov 2011, 9:48 am

I prefer Manny Pacquiao to Floyd Mayweather.

by manos de piedra Wed 16 Nov 2011, 9:48 am

Pre 1910 fighters were, on the whole, more limited than later generations.

by Scottrf Wed 16 Nov 2011, 9:52 am

Margarito didn't look shot against Pacquiao.

I'm sure I can think of some better ones, this is a good topic.

by Mind the windows Tino. Wed 16 Nov 2011, 9:53 am

I actually like Amir Khan.

John Conteh should have been greatest British boxer of all time.

Jeffries wouldn't last two rounds with Herbie Hide.

by **Fists of Fury** Wed 16 Nov 2011, 9:55 am

Naseem Hamed should have been an all-time great.

Amir Khan has the beating of Floyd Mayweather Jr.

by huw Wed 16 Nov 2011, 10:08 am

Frank Bruno was a better boxer than actor

by The Galveston Giant Wed 16 Nov 2011, 10:09 am

I wanted Tyson to beat Lewis.

by manos de piedra Wed 16 Nov 2011, 10:16 am

Wheres Waingro when you need him? This thread would be tailor made for him.

Dempsey was not a true champ. Haye is an all time great cruiser.

Could almost tempt Azania back to put us right about Marciano

Oddly enough Waingro seemed to rate Marciano whereas azania seemed to rate Dempsey. They could probably have a pretty good argument if put together.

I believe that Hagler's performance against Mugabi was calculated and brave to not only win, but to remove a challenger totally from the board.

Marquez was on the gear in the lead up for Pacquiao on the weekend... oooh that hurts to admit I'm thinking that.

by Reborn-DeeMcK-Reborn Wed 16 Nov 2011, 11:10 am

Not my bad idea, but D4 once said on the old 606 that plaster paris wraps would save lives (just before the Pac vs Marg fight)

And when Manny had the cold, he produced figures to show that the common cold still remains on of natures greatest killers. haha

Not just D4, archbritishchris suggested it as well when they were both maniacally defending the decison to fight Margarito. Of course, D4 denied he said it even when presented with documentary evidence of him saying it.

Back to the topic - Although I rate Joe Louis higher as a heavyweight, I think that Tunney would beat him.

by **superflyweight** Wed 16 Nov 2011, 11:28 am

p.s. hasn't Truss being doing this for years? State an unpopular opinion whether you mean it or not and stand back and watch the sparks fly!

by Rowley Wed 16 Nov 2011, 11:32 am

Sam Langford would have beaten Jack Johnson had Johnson defended his title against him.

Primetime is a quality channel with great pundits who give a great insight into each fight they show. They do not need to go HD as they are just brilliant at everything they do and the £15 to watch the likes of Khan vs Judah is an absolute bargain.

guys - this thread was supposed to be about stuff you actually believed Laugh

In all seriousness - this thread could be excellent if we keep the silly comments away and actually justify why you actually feel strongly about something against the general consensus

by Reborn-DeeMcK-Reborn Wed 16 Nov 2011, 11:48 am

In all fairness Hobo I did fork out the £15 at the weekend and enjoyed listening to Steve Collins so that statement is kind of true to a point haha

What weight helps Floyd to do that?

Tyson Fury will win a Euro belt and fight for a world title.
