How popular and mainstream Paulie Malinaggi could have become
Lets say hypothetically Paulie Malinaggi had the backing of Goldenboy along with a Al Haymon (I understand they were not around when Paulie made his debut) how popular he could have become think about it hes a stereotypical New York Kid (fans seems to like these Tyson, Judah Bowe), hes Italian American (this along could bring a following along with the New York one), speaks three languages according to him has the speed and is flamboyant (guy is great on a mic) hes better than or real close...
Remembering Sergio Martinez vs. Paul Williams I
Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by Flo_Raiden, . Who remembers this great fight? Man what a thriller. This was the fight that made Martinez more popular, despite losing. I personally thought Martinez won 7-5. Became a Maravilla fan ever since. Makes me wish that we saw that Martinez against Cotto. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EnYGy9pdnEo this martinez would destroy cotto..i had martinez winning a close fight on that one.
Name 1 thing about your favorite fighter that dissapointed you
It's not a disappointment really, but it sucks that Joe Louis tanked in his first fight with Walcott. It's the only win of his career that is close to being controversial. In the three losses and bunch of draws that occurred very early in Carlos Monzon's career, he avenged all but I think it is one or two of them. Would have been cool had he avenged every single one of those early blemishes.
I need a new fighter from the lower weights to be a fan of!
Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by McGrain, . Who would you guys suggest? Since Omar Narvaez is unlovable now and Roman Gonzalez isn't bothering to fight anyone worth fighting (next up - Ramon Hirales 1-2) who's coming up, who do you like 115lbs and below? Hernan "Tyson" Marquez :good Zopilote said: ↑ Hernan "Tyson" Marquez :good Click to expand... deal:deal Alright gents i'll look into it. I really love all of these guys. Some of my favorite fighters.
Would a Prime Cotto have beaten Mayweather?
Lady Girl said: ↑ i would say yes. he lost to a lesser fighter in castillo. floyd ran like forrest for the rest of his career after jose Click to expand... NO .. Arum kept Cotto away from Floyd when Floyd moved up from 135 to 140. Arum and Cotto camp both stated Cotto was not ready for Floyd .. Cotto could never beat Floyd his only chance was to try and out weigh Floyds at the higher weight. Not only that Floyd is 5 years older then Cotto.
THE WAR ZONE: Revisiting Classics (Vol. 9 - Livingstone Bramble vs. Oba Diallo Carr)
[yt]gTHbiqTOZFQ[/yt] edit: new embedded media formatting per switch to xenforo We did it! :happy Er...you did it! Er...the regular viewers of Tuesday Night Fights on USA in 1991 ... did it. Not all of them, mind you - just whomever felt compelled to dial into the "You Make The Match" poll, run via telephone in the weeks leading up to a balmy "Indian summer" evening (the almanac registering 43° Fh on that October eighth in Auburn Hills, MI). In any event, way to go, fans. You have chosen...wisely.
Ring Magazine Ratings archive?
Pepsi Dioxide said: ↑ I tried some searches but didnt see month by month (did see year by year). Click to expand... National libraries usually does have printed materials: books, newspapers, magazines and store them. Are they all scanned and digitalized is different question but for historical research there are also these physical libraries and arcieves. Like if you need newspaper ABC from 1929 th march this might be possible.
De la Hoya vs. Sturm: Revisited
Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by Clearly Cool, . In light of the Sturm-Soliman rematch I decided to watch this to get a bit of back history. Flat out robbery. There was no real argument for giving Hoya the victory besides business. Even Hoya knew it, didn't smile or celebrate the victory and gave a shame/funeral type post-match interview. Looking at Sturms record, I think he got comfortable in Europe, plugging along against some solid albeit B grade boxers.

Jake Paul Phony Fights Discussion
Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by BitPlayerVesti, . With the WBC seemingly creating a made up title for every other fight, I honestly think they'll create one for Jake Paul or someone similar soon. I can't believe how good a job they are doing of destroying any credibility they have. Last edited: iceferg, White Bomber, Clinton and 2 others like this. The WBC Influencer title?

Some under rated great fights
Boxing News 24 Forum Forums > Boxing > World Boxing Forum > Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by sportofkings, Dec 21, 2010. Im bored and i want to watch a few exciting fights. But i think we've all seen well known barnburners like Gatti-Ward,Vazquez-Marquez, Bowe-Holyfield. I want to watch ones i havent seen multiple times before. So can you all help me out and list some unknown or under rated exciting fights?
Tyson Fury's wife wants him to carry on boxing
Boxing News 24 Forum Forums > Boxing > World Boxing Forum > Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by GotchaHat, Apr 24, 2022 at 6:00 AM. So I guess we will see that mega unification bout in the future #Undisputed tinman "Just a stiff Russian Idiot" No **** dude. Shes a woman. And Furys wife. It would be shocking if she didnt want him to fight on for a hundred million. dougingb and Quina74 like this. She never said she wants him to carry on boxing.
If Usyk defeats AJ again & beats Fury after, it could be the greatest achievement in boxing history?
Boxing News 24 Forum Forums > Boxing > World Boxing Forum > Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by SergioJ91, Apr 24, 2022 at 6:00 AM. Does anyone else agree? The fact that a cruiserweight, coming up to heavyweight late in his career, defeats the top 2 heavyweights even at such a height and weight disadvantage would be one of the, if not, the most impressive thing I've ever seen a boxer do in history.
Showtime Head Planning Comeback Fight For Adrien Broner
Reported over at the Scene. Finally my man Brondigity is coming back! Who should he fight? Maidana 2 on an undercard If its a "tune up" then they need to find someone like myself in order to guarantee Broner looks good. Throw him in with Victor Ortiz, Robert Guerrero, or Devon Alexander.

Roy Levesta Jones, Jr. vs. Santos Saúl Álvarez Barragán
Surprisingly never been a (properly constructed) poll thread done on these guys, and the h2h matchup has only been mooted a few times, once apiece in Classic and General: This content is protected (plus twice more in the General forum using just the nickname without any portion of Álvarez's real name, posited for MW in 2018 and super middle last November) Let's say 12 rounds @ light heavyweight - not because I consider either man a natural 175lber or at their personal very best in the...
Is Riddick Bowe an ATG Heavyweight? If he's not ,neither is Vitali.
Boxing News 24 Forum Forums > Boxing > World Boxing Forum > Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by ConserveWater, Oct 24, 2012. I heard some Vitali fans bash Riddick and call him overrated. They than went on to say Vitali is an ATG. I'm down with that. But if Vitali is an ATG HW, Bowe must also be an ATG Heavyweight because Bowe's resume,h2h abilities,and overall boxing skills is >than Vitaly's.
Who will be the pound for pound king after Canelo?
Boxing News 24 Forum Forums > Boxing > World Boxing Forum > Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by UndergroundBoxing, Mar 29, 2022 at 2:56 PM. Shakur Stevenson believes he is already the most talented fighter in the sport, although he does admit that he hasn’t done enough to warrant that top spot yet. I believe Shakur is well on his way to those high pound for pound rankings though! Who else do you believe will be in the mix to take that throne after Canelo?
Wallin vs Sokolowski Scorecard

Unfortunate that fans don’t call robberies against fighters they like.

If you had to pick one of the four major organizations to rule boxing
Boxing News 24 Forum Forums > Boxing > World Boxing Forum > Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by boxingforum24, Mar 18, 2022 at 5:18 PM. Who and why? Do you think having one organization with majority rule would improve boxing? Would we get better fights more often? Yes I know this topic has been done to death. So let's breathe some more life into it. I’m picking the WBO because I like their super status which allows more easily for multi division champions.

Erik Morales vs Orlando Salido (???)
Boxing News 24 Forum Forums > Boxing > World Boxing Forum > Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by Rakesh, Mar 3, 2022 at 8:27 AM. This content is protected I didn't find out about this til exactly 2 minutes ago, am I the only one who finds this ridiculous? Erik is 45 years old, I've seen absolutely no training clips at all, its been a full decade since hes been in the ring... This can and probably will end horribly... Its, uh, a real fight and not an exhibition? Nothing to like here, for me.
Why has Kickboxing never had the same kind of popularity as boxing
Boxing News 24 Forum Forums > Other > MMA Forum > Discussion in 'MMA Forum' started by Moggy94, Jan 14, 2022. I understand casual fans not being as interested but even hardcore boxing fans don't seem to be interested in kickboxing why is this? These days a kickboxing match is three to five rounds and is actually an easier watch than boxing I believe, the lesser rounds also means that kickboxers don't usually stall or coast and go for it throughout the whole fight.
What are GGGs 3 best wins?
Serious question I can see these replies a mile away If you count Canelo then Canelo, Jacobs, Dev 1. Jacobs 2. Derevyanchenko 3. Geale Jacobs and Derev were 1-point margin controversial wins. To think of all the discussion and praise he has gotten over his career and in the end, this is what he and his fans have to stand on.

Boxing News 24 Forum Forums > Boxing > World Boxing Forum > Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by Van Damage, Feb 2, 2022 at 7:00 AM. It's so stupid 4 world titles for a weight class of 184 boxers!! Vast majority of countries don't even have a single boxer in this weight class. The whole continent of Europe doesn't have a single one! Last edited: Feb 2, 2022 at 7:10 AM Light flyweight is the same. Only 321 boxers.

Transnational Boxing Rankings Mystery!
Boxing News 24 Forum Forums > Boxing > World Boxing Forum > Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by crixus85, Feb 1, 2022 at 11:24 AM. Had high hopes of this new “unbiased “ rating body, but there are omissions in their two recent lists in Boxing News. In the super feathers Oscar Valdez and Robson Conceicao are unrated. They boxed in an alphabet fight where Valdez got a gift decision a few months ago, after being caught taking an illegal substance.

Who should Sergio Martinez fight next ?
Boxing News 24 Forum Forums > Boxing > World Boxing Forum > Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by split_decision, Jan 28, 2022 at 3:09 AM. The peter pan of boxing has recently called out GGG which is surely just for publicity and not genuine, but who should Maravilla fight next as a realistic step up for a man in his 40's who has just easily beaten Macauley someone ? How about Donovan 'The Don' Mortlock since Sergio likes beating up inactive Brits ?
Who’s road to Undisputed was the Greatest?
Boxing News 24 Forum Forums > Boxing > World Boxing Forum > Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by Kell Macabe, Jan 30, 2022 at 8:47 AM. Out of Terence Crawford, Oleksander Usyk, Josh Taylor and Canelo Alvarez who had the best competition to become undisputed in their weight class? Imo Usyk is In first followed by Taylor and Canelo with Bud in last. DJN16, Holler and Clinton like this. Usyk by far. It's actually very easy question and I agree with your opinion. 1. Usyk 2. Taylor 3. Canelo 4.
Kovalev, Linares or Martinez..
Boxing News 24 Forum Forums > Boxing > World Boxing Forum > Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by Liquorice, Jan 29, 2022 at 4:09 PM.

Eddie Hearn has claimed that Tyson Fury has now decided, "he doesn't wanna fight Oleksandr Usyk"
Boxing News 24 Forum Forums > Boxing > World Boxing Forum > Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by mark ant, Jan 27, 2022 at 5:59 AM. 1 ← 2 3 4 5 6 → 12 Next > Eddie Hearn has claimed that Tyson Fury has now decided, "he doesn't wanna fight Oleksandr Usyk next". Hearn said Anthony Joshua would be willing to consider a step-aside, but Fury doesn't want Usyk and so he now expects Fury vs Whyte and Usyk vs AJ II to come next.
Where There's Smoke There May Not Be Fire
Boxing News 24 Forum Forums > Boxing > World Boxing Forum > Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by Fogger, Jan 26, 2022 at 9:16 PM. I just saw on Boxrec that former WBA featherweight champion, Derrick "Smoke" Gainer is fighting for the first time in almost 10 years. Gainer, who handed Freddie Norwood his first loss to take the belt, is on a April 23rd card taking place in the boxing-crazed town of Gadsden, Alabama. His opponent is the always rugged TBA. Should be a good scrap.

"Yao" Cabrera, the Uruguayan-Argentinian influencer and YouTube vlogger referred to by some as the "Logan Paul of South America" is making his officially sanctioned pro debut. Yes this is real.

The difference between Canelo and Usyk
Boxing News 24 Forum Forums > Boxing > World Boxing Forum > Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by tinman, Jan 5, 2022 at 12:33 PM. It's obvious. There is so much more honor in Usyk's career. He does not rely on home cooking and hand picked judges. He does not seek a competitive advantage over his opponent by draining the life out of him or dragging him up to an unnatural weight class. He does not need special beef from the government.
The best 3 heavyweights in boxing history...
Boxing News 24 Forum Forums > Boxing > World Boxing Forum > Discussion in 'World Boxing Forum' started by CroBox29, Jan 3, 2022 at 10:53 AM. Share your opinion, if some fighters are not listed in the poll, write them here... Historically the top 2 has never been a debate. Ali and Louis deservedly so is universally the top 2. Number 3 always is so interchangeable and usually is based on preference. Larry Holmes and Wlad racked up a lot of defenses and had long reigns.
