@G__Chain @blacksteelpe It took decades for Frazier, a real heavyweight champion of the world, to get a statue in Philly. Yet, Rocky got one.....

@WilliamDettloff @jackalter That decision saved me a two week paycheck!
I was literally paying the guy, before the decision was announced.
Whitaker v Chavez was just as worse for me.

De La Hoya vs. Trinidad one of the worst boxing robberies ever
De La Hoya really won 9 rounds straight then coasted the last 3 and they said he lost cause he coasted the last 3
HE WON 9 ROUNDS IN A ROW HE COULD HAVE COASTED 2 ROUNDS EARLIER AND STILL WON 😭😭😭

@OutwestLock 😂😂 Those can be deal breakers or makers.

I want every woman on here to know that anytime y’all post a picture, I am zooming in on them #HandsAndToes

@ACarter86946242 @SerhanOnX Yep! The intensity Frazier carried into that fight and during almost killed him.
He spent weeks in the hospital afterwards. Gives new meaning to the phrase, leaving it all in the ring.
That fight definitely took some years off of Frazier's career.

Lou Duva and George Benton panicked down the stretch of the Chavez-Taylor fight.
They got a giant pass from the boxing community for bad advice.

@ACarter86946242 @SerhanOnX In the amateurs that kind of excitement was good, but never for a championship fight.
The only guy I saw do that was Duran v Leonard I. He was really emotional leading up to the fight and during it.
He hated Ray with a passion and it showed in his performance.
Hagler did it too.
English
@BoxingCertified @SerhanOnX That might explain why Taylor's physical disintegration occurred so rapidly in the late rounds. But once again, Lou and George failed to calm down an overwrought fighter. That is part of a great trainer's job.
English
@ACarter86946242 @SerhanOnX The trainer can only do but so much. The fighter has to execute the instructions.
Watch a fight and listen to the instructions in the corner. The fighter will come out and follow the advice for about a minute and then do what he wants.😀
Many fighters do that.
English
@ACarter86946242 @SerhanOnX Benton actually gave him the best advice throughout the fight.
Benton kept reiterating to Taylor, don't let him push you too fast. Meldrick was so amped to look exceptional and get the win; he was allowing Chavez to carry him to fast.
It showed down the stretch.
English
@SerhanOnX I rewatched the fight, and Lous was acting awful from the beginning, like somebody who doesn't accept responsibility for his actions. Also, with the benefit of hindsight, you could see the few punches Julio was landing tearing up
English
@PippaGary @BoxingNewsED Right! His style, front foot, coming forward constantly. To LaMotta's credit he did have a jab and there was a method to his madness.
Opposed to Frazier, who didn't have a jab and would bob & weave his way in and take three to land one.
English
@BoxingCertified @BoxingNewsED He may have looked old, but he lived until the age of 95, pretty rare for any fighter, especially one that took the type of punishment he did.

@OutwestLock Drinking in moderation never hurt anyone.
There's nothing worse than the food we eat. It kills and sends more folks to hospital than anything else.
English
@BoxingCertified Lmao speaking of it, I just stopped drinking 4 months ago… before that I’d have a drink at some point of everyday for bout 3-4 years

A few weeks ago, Bud told Joe Rogan that he ain’t been working out at all ever since he retired

@SteveKim323 I always wanted an 8 Ball jacket back then.

Serious question, can we find the legendary '8-Ball Jacket Guy' and get him on a 'Misfits' boxing show?

@ThrillaRilla369 Smoking out of soda cans takes me back to my Germany days, while serving the country in the 80s! #ARMYSTRONG

We had to smoke out of soda cans with screens from a sink faucet and blow into a toilet paper roll filled with dryer sheets so Gen Z could hit a weed pen at Target

@OutwestLock I had my first drink, while living with my Pops, in Detroit 1980'. Took a shot of Gilbey's Vodka and flipped off a porch. Been drinking ever since.
I've taken breaks, but I've been consistent for 46 years. #Dedication

@BoxingCertified @BoxingNewsED He lived to be 95 and was in pretty good health for most of them. "He's built different" is an oft-used figure of speech, but I suspect Jake had an abnormally thick skull and large temporalis muscles, just like Marvin Hagler.
English
@CorpasWriter @MatthewAguilar5 Just ordered it!
English
@RoldBoxing Another guy, who happen to come up in a great era to be a heavyweight, who couldn't get over the hump. It was just too many damn, very good boxers in that 70s era.
Tough, tough time to be a heavyweight.

@SteveKim323 Arum is an "O.G" in the game of boxing.

@CorpasWriter @MatthewAguilar5 @MikeSpinksjinx I gotta get that book!
It's always worse to fight a guy that you've sparred with. Especially, if you dominated him in sparring.
Never show too much in sparring, you may have to fight that guy one day
English
@MatthewAguilar5 @MikeSpinksjinx Spinks told me he used to handle Qawi in sparring exactly the same way the fight went. Jack Hirsch just released a new book on Spinks that was written with Mike.

43 years ago Mar 18: @MikeSpinksjinx outpoints Dwight Muhammad Qawi over 15, unifies WBA/WBC 175lb titles, Convention Center AC. In one of the biggest 175lb fight ever, Spinks uses 7-inch height & 5-inch reach advantages to stifle Qawi’s buzzsaw attack & win in commanding fashion
English
@WilliamDettloff Duva is to blame!
The corner should never distract a fighter, after a knockdown. Your focus is on the referee, to let him know you're okay to continue.
Referees aren't concerned about how much time is left in a round. The fighter's safety should be paramount. At least in my eyes.
English
Should Steele have let it go? Yes. Did Lou Duva contribute to the stoppage by telling Taylor to go after Chavez in the last round, and then distract Taylor when Steele was trying to assess his condition? Also yes.
