say what you will about the state of heavyweight boxing, but due a lot of advancements klitchko destroys ali.

Watching the fight game episode 2 right now and Duane Ford (one of the judges that voted for Bradley) is making me barf at his reasons why.

Ali gets crushed but we get a good lead up.

yeah, sadly

and I'm a huge Ali fan

even though in his prime he kind of went weird and seemed to be a legit mega racist/weirdo

so is Klitchko the GOAT? (maybe not 'greatest', but who is favored vs him?)

Well they're the biggest fighters with their skill level, so they are prob. the GOAT in that sense. HW are pretty impossible to rank head-to-head since there's no real limit.

Recall that HW used to start a 175 lbs, but obv those guys get stomped now.

The word Klitchko and GOAT should never ever be mentioned in the same sentence... unless you add " nowhere near " somewhere.

Their dominance has far more to do with their opposition than them being that great.

That is the rub and problem for them, because they actually are very very good but there is none to test them out very well.

fwiw I wouldn't use Klitschko and GOAT together but maybe I should, we will just never know

I just watched the Pac-Bradley fight for the fourth time without commentary trying to judge it myself and here is what I got: (Pac-B)

1- Could go either way but I went with Bradley because he was more active and neither seemed to do anything to grand (0-1)

2- Same situation, I gave it to Bradley again because I honestly felt Bradley did a little bit more (0-2)

3- Obviously Pac (1-2)

4- Obviously Pac again, this is the round one of the older judges said that Pac should have finished the fight but to me it seemed pretty standard but Pac still crushed Bradley (2-2)

5- Pac landed more punches and they were harder

6- Pac

7-Pac

8- Bradley, I thought this round could go either way and I gave it to Bradley with the commentary off

9- Pac

10- Bradley

11- Pac

12- Pac (this one could possibly go either way)

Honestly I was surprised I gave the first two rounds to Bradley and thought maybe at first I had scored it wrong but as it went on Manny dominated and I still have no idea how this one got scored so wrong. I really really hope Pac doesn't fight Tim again and goes onto something better (imo not Marquez 4 even though I like JMM). I have no idea where pac will go from here though and my prediction is it ends up as a bob arum home run rematch. (**** Bob Arum)

First time I've seen him. Exciting to watch. Amazing fast hands with power and a short reach so he gets in close to fight. They said he wants Juan Manuel Lopez next. Looking forward to seeing him fight again.

watched the Lopez/Salido 2 fight again the other day, what a great fight

never seen Gary Russel Jr. fight i'll have to look to see if any of his stuff is on youtube...any recommendations or has he been beating everyone bad? I don't even know what weight division he is in lol..looks like he hasn't fought anyone decent at all

man rafael is outraged at the spinks scorecards. Isn't Lara the one who got screwed vs Williams?

Apparently it will be Canelo vs Ricardo Mayorga in September. It's a mis-match but at least it will be a fun fight while it lasts.

Watched the (very quick) fortuna match on FNF tonight...hasn't really fought anyone good but his last two knockouts have been pretty impressive (including tonights within two rounds), he has a chance to be a legitimate featherweight contender imo
