If boxing was banned and....

First topic message reminder :

Hypothetical question. Boxings been banned. There are no future fights and all records of past fights including film, books, newspapers etc have been destroyed. You manage to save one fighter's entire career on dvd, which will be your only record of the sweet science and the only boxer you will ever see fight again. Tough question but who do you pick?

Theres a few things to take into account. Do you pick your favourite boxer? Someone who's been in a lot of epic fights to keep you entertained. Someone who fought great quality opposition so that you see a number of greats by default. Do you pick an old timer or a modern great? With a good old timer you get a lot more fights and a record of times when the best fought the best more frequently. While with the modern fighters you get much better quality footage as well as some great fights.

With the likes of Ali, you get to see perhaps the greatest against a golden generation of heavys. A clinic against Williams, the Frasier triology, the rumble and much more. With Duran you get extensive footage of perhaps the greatest LW ever an exciting style and also get footage of Hagler, Hearns and Leonard as well as great later wins against the likes of Moore and Barkley. Or do you go with someone like Gatti? 4 ring fights of the year, the ward trilogy and footage of modern greats such as PBF and Oscar.

Just some options but who do you pick and why?

Cheers!

Has he just been banned? He's not down as a mod anymore.

Azania got demoted and is now sulking in his bedroom, I think.

If it's just the fights , I'd go with moore because of the volume of fights and the fighters he fought and a lot were exciting

But if the fighters career includes press conferences and interviews, I'd have to go for tyson

Did Azania get downgraded because he was, well, a bit of a numpti and dare i say - a wum?

I'm going to say he was our version of George W Bush - thick as 2 planks of wood and an unbelievably laughable understanding (or lack of) of anything that happened before 1970.

Perhaps the administrators should look at yours truly to take his place.... I offer:

Impartialness
Calmness
A voice of reason
Never swear
Never get riled

And most importantly i think all boxers are wonderful. Barring RJJ, the man is disgracefully overrated.

Coxy would think I have more chance of winning gold in the 100m at next years olympics than you have of getting the gig.

Probably go for Lennox Lewis for the simple reason he was my favorite fighter and the best heavy we had seen in the past 30 years. (IMO)

boxing wont get banned lol

coxy, you've had more reprieves and close calls than Rio Ferdinand or Vidic get from Howard Webb, so why would you be so interested in offering your opinions as to who is or is not worthy of a ban ?

Coxy being a typical Brit and loving the underdog I am fully behind your campaign to become a moderator. We'll get there one day.
