Mayweather would have ducked Foreman, IMO.

Mayweather would have got the nod in Vegas either way

 

121-96 on all the cards

Depends what you favour really. Punching someone 20 yards out of the ring, or being asleep for 36 minutes.

Even if Mayweather was KOd they have liked the way he moved around and gave him the nod

I watched the Porter-Thurman fight for the first time. Pretty good fight and I thought Porter won by a round. I don't think it was the fight-of-the-year, because for all their speed, power and athleticism, I thought there was a lack of boxing craft. They both looked very rudimentary, throwing and missing wildly, running straight in, repeating the same mistakes, it's just not what a world class offensive fight is supposed to look like and I would put it a good deal behind the candidates.

If you didn't get the chance to watch this last month, watch it now.

Think it's the front runner for Fight of the Year.

I don't think it's the fight of the year, but it's certainly close enough and these deserve 20 minutes of your time.

You have to pick a combination of 4 of the attributes you'd like to have as a boxer in the first list.

 

But as we know there's no fighter who has everything, so you're going to have to pick 2 weaknesses from the second list.

 

The third list you can pick whatever you want to compliment your genetic strengths and weaknesses

 

First list

 

Power

Great chin

Great cardio

Explosiveness

Great hand speed

Great reflexes

Massive heart

 

Second list

 

Pillow fists

Poor chin

No cardio

No explosiveness

Slow handspeed

Bad reflexes

No heart

 

Third list

 

Long reach / Medium reach / Short reach

Tall / average / short

Orthodox / Southpaw

Country of Birth - Britain, Mexico, America, Argentina etc

Weight class

 

What would you pick? what style would you have? and why did you pick the attributes you picked?

[Jairzinho]

Power, explosiveness, chin and hand speed.

 

No cardio and bad reflexes.

 

Tall, long reach, heavyweight. Oh and British.

 

Because champion of the world + manies.

With them pocks you can be a world champion at most weights. The reach always give you an advantage. With great cardio and chin you can go the distance. And reflexes and hands make up for no punching power
