Essential The Official Boxing Random Thoughts Thread...All boxing heads ENTER.

[patscorpio]

Just watched Shields response to Laila's and she was all over the place trying to match energy and it kinda failed.

Can't believe she spent a segment bigging up Rhonda Rousey of all ppl.

the random shot at Baumgardner tho.

I didn't bother to read the texts at the end. Like narrate that shyt or something.

for those that didnt watch it yet

My nikka this is as bad as the Bud fought a fresher version of Canelo than Mell did argument nikkas had in here a week or so ago.


I can't even respond to anymore of this. I'll just break this fight down on the podcast tonight.

nikkas definitely weren't watching Roy at lightheavy weight.

Michael Spinks might be the only 175ber I'd favor over Roy. Hell Moorer got a better chance than fukking Bivol.

Only Michael Spinks can beat Roy?

Not Saad Muhammad, Archie Moore, Ezzard Charles, Bob Foster, Beterbiev?

Oh OK

As a big Roy Jones Jr fan, I have met a couple brehs in this thread have clearly surpassed my Roy fandom, I'm impressed

Leila awas c00ning?
also those comments on the breakfast club where she claims nobody would even be a challenge for here was very arrogant. she thought cause her last name is Ali nobody would call that shyt out. Imo all her responses so far has been justified.. where Layla keeps fukking up is she keeps putting a dollar amount on coming to the table and negotiate a fight and Claressa pulls that card and calls the bluff every single time

I'm not even sure Bivol beats Chad Dawson or Calzaghe, lets not get started with prime Roy

He beats overrated ass Calzaghe, Bad Chad would be a good matchup IMO

 

[NormanConnors]

Exactly
and lets not act like Bivol can't be hurt. Joe Smith hurt him bad late and Beterbiev had dude running and not throwing punches for 30 second intervals in the 1st fight.

Hell, the dude Bivol stopped before the 1st Beterbiev fight was giving him all he could handle.

We have to give Bivol credit, he was whoopin ass with a fractured back, that alone reduces power

 

[NormanConnors]

Does this even need an answer lol? This is about as common sense if you know boxing as it comes

And @UpAndComing you dapping that too lol

I don't even think we need to continue this & I see why the others didn't chime in lol

I wished that shot Roy dropped Joe with would have landed clean. Joe built an entire narrative off of beating washed up dudes.

I think Roy beats Bivol but it wouldn't be as easy as cats are making it out to be

One could argue that Roy built his entire career using his superior athleticism and exotic drugs to overwhelm cab drivers.

With that type of chin, there’s always a chance. Lou almost had him

when ppl bring it up..its oh he beat kessler and lacy

but when 168 got hot with the super six, he retired

Me too. Calzaghe aged everyone out & avoided the talent that was there. Bad Chad would've smacked him around during that time & he knew it

Bivol is an A- fighter in this era at best that's fundamentally very sound with a good IQ. 175lbs Roy until around 02 was still an S-Tier fighter with all of his gifts intact. Roy was operating on a entirely different plane of talent. You can't out-fundamental a guy who breaks all the fundamentals & still dominates world-class fighters & that wouldn't have been any different in Bivol's case. And Roy wasn't just winning at 75, he was disarming guys there & taking their best weapons from them because he could control the tempo, could counter from impossible angles, & his explosiveness made even defensive minded & responsible fighters hesitant & that hesitation killed their game plan

Couldn't have said it any better lol

nikka I said MIGHT, got damn



and nobody who is a big fan of Roy Jones would think he loses to Bivol.

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

nikkas be like I'm a huge Floyd fan, but I can't see how he beats Oba Carr

like really

It's ok breh. You value power and explosiveness over Defense and Skills. It is what it is

Sounds like a nikka who picked Lacy and Kessler to beat the God

Godzaghe that is.
