You are now only allowed to post webms of the drunken master.
Parker Watson
how good do you think the famous journeymen (Augustus, Darnell Boone, etc) could have been if they had a good manager/promoter looking out for them.
Like if they had a promoter giving them like 20 fights against bums to develop, and paid him enough to focus completely on boxing, nutrition etc, Or gave them confidence building fights after they took a loss, how far could they go?
Logan Reed
Being a famous journeyman is already a pretty high mark desu. Usually just the sign of a contender who is mismanaged, so probably around that level.
Brandon Torres
Man, Augustus was such an oddball.
I'd imagine Boone would have made it as a middling world title contender, probably on a similar level to Gabe Rosado or Martin Murray. Hes already got a better resume than either guy, beating WMJ, KOing Stevenson, supposedly getting robbed by Kovalev, and dropping Ward.
If Eddie Hearn promoted him, he'd probably be like Dillian Whyte -- massively overrated.
Carson Green
The Augustus fight has to be in the top 5 for Mayweather's most punishment taken in a fight, right? Up there with the Maidana and Castillo fight?
Jayden Bailey
Titleholders at least. I mean Augustus could've gotten the nod against Ward, so he was already on that level even as a nobody who was really into drugs. If they'd thrown that fight onto Boxing After Dark or something he could've made a fuckload of money
Brayden Carter
Yeah, that and Chavez. DeMarcus Corley also nailed him with a right hook and couldn't finish him off which was a weird, career-long pattern in Corley's big fights
Luke Stewart
>Lomachenko is a dramatically overrated slav hype job, but if Rigo beats him then Rigo should be on a shortlist for 5-10 all time p4p
>Fury is overrated for schooling a shot Klitschko, but Joshua is the second coming of Ali for struggling against an even older Klitschko
Post your favorite cute casual opinions
Grayson Sullivan
The real casual opinion is the Matrix Hi tech Lomachenko wrecks Rigo in 4
Nolan Hill
cute
Dominic Turner
Alright so I've been getting more into boxing. But I'm a bit of a lank myself. So I've been looking for more technical boxers to watch.
I really liked Ricardo Lopez and Robinson, but I would like a couple names of guys now that are competing still. I found that a lot of guys actually put up little clips on instagram or youtube, so I just want to see what they're doing to train, as well as some fights. These guys don't have to be big names, but would like if they're technically proficient.
Lucas Walker
Sorry meant Ray Leonard.
Been watching Jorge Linares recently too. What's your guys opinion of him? He seems a little flashy to me, but decent fundamentals.
Fun to watch.
Luke Carter
Mikey garcia and Crawford are first one to come in to my mind. Error Spence is quality but there are people who argue he's not a technician, most of the champs in the lower weights...Loma is great but kinda unorthodox, same as rigo. Chocolatito was pretty good in the lower weights but is quite shot rn I think the other tops in flyweight can take him.
Linares is good but hes fearherfisted and a bit chiny. Im pretty sure garcia can ko inside 7
Gavin Lewis
First for the new unified heavyweight champion of the world.
Logan Brooks
Bad stylistic matchup against Joshua, too short and slow for Wilder, might be able to get inside and spark Parker, too small for Fury.
Oliver Powell
What guys do you follow on ig. Made an account recently but I'm not following many prospect. Angelo Leo, josh kelly and Ryan garcia are the one I follow but the last one, man what an annoying little prick instagram.com/p/BbSdSYDjKTc/ I'm seeing shades of young dlh
Jose Mitchell
Hey thanks guys. I actually literally just made an ig like a couple weeks back so I'm still figuring out the ropes myself.
I have just Loma and Linares right now. I like Linares cus he has some training clips. I think I looked for Rigo, but he didn't have one. Mostly looking for guys with slick head movement and footwork, some good punch angles would be nice too. I'll check these guys out too thanks m8.
Also there's that thing Loma uses to get more accurate punches, the tennis ball thingy. Look up his training vids and other boxer's training vids too
Aaron Clark
The tennis ball thing is a meme. Maybe improve your hands eye coordination but I doubt it improve your accuracy in a fight.
Gabriel Cooper
your mom is a meme
Luis Wright
they correlate
Jaxson Myers
Had a nightmare where Loma got stopped by Rigo
Was relieved when I woke up
Jordan Collins
...
Ayden Ortiz

Alexander Lewis
He confuses me. Mayweather said he was his toughest opponent yet he's lost almost half of his fights. What's his deal?
Caleb Clark
he was a natural talent that didn't have the dedication or team behind him to really do anything serious.
mayweather's uncle roger said it the best, "he knew exactly which way the wind was blowing". he fought solely off of reflex and pure natural skill. If he had someone in his corner to refine him and mold him into a proper fighter, who knows. He was also from baton rouge, LA and probably got caught up in your typical hood shit.
Parker Bailey
Mayweather always pays lip service, he doesn't want to say his actual toughest opponents were his toughest opponents
Eli Foster
Today, i'm grateful for the fact that I'm alive to witness the era of the great Guillermo Rigondeaux. A true American hero.
Liam Brooks
why does everyone in /box/ say lanklets never learn
surely there are some good lanklet boxers?
Michael Taylor
t. salty manleta
Christopher Robinson
...
Jose Stewart
>I will never let a white boy beat me What did he mean by this
Jacob Cruz
What did Manny mean by this?
Gavin Rodriguez
the reason weight divisions exist is manlets dont want to fight people taller than them
Tyler Torres
that last punch as he falls into the abyss
Juan Davis
Conor is such a fucking idiot. He's made himself a target for everyone who wants a payday. He should've retired immediately after Mayweather fight and then went back to MMA.
He's reputation will be fucking ruined. Oscar and now Pacman want him and he's going to have to dodge both of them.
Anthony Robinson
oscar and manny are fucking faggots. shit should never happen again after mayweather did it. it's just cringey watching these has-beens thirsty for some spotlight again.
Josiah Howard
I agree. Why isn't Manny challenging Thurman or even Mayweather rematch? Honestly I've lost some respect for Manny after this shit
Gavin Ward
>boxers BEG the MMA fighter for some money lmao
Henry Baker
>australian nothing you say can ever be funnier than that
Liam Evans
at least I'm white
Leo Peterson
I agree really. Shameful behaviour by two respected boxers
>head to the track nice and early for some conditioning >see this well?
Blake Reed
>giant cist on her left thigh disgusting desu cover that shit up
William Taylor
He's going to fight him in the octagon
Eli Collins
>Her
Jaxon Diaz
The Oscar one I can sort of see after his drunken rant about how maygregor was killing boxing, and then his own "true super mega spectactular" fight was a laughable draw. He can at least say he wants to vent with his fists and prove it was fixed despite everyone knowing it's a cashgrab
Manny though, that guy is pathetic beyond belief. Any time some fight doesn't go through regardless of weight class he'll come out of nowhere saying ILL DO IT. I can just see the story in 30 years where Manny agrees to fight a kangaroo in a boxing match for $20 and it disembowels him with its toe, and his final words will be some fake nice-guy thing about how he respects its decision to use its feet even though it's not allowed.
Kevin Price
He could always accept their offer but say its time for a boxer to come into the UFC for the fight as he already went into boxing to fight the best surely they could come into the UFC for a one off fight.
Oliver Reed
He's already done that with Malignaggi but it's unrealistic to expect somebody as ancient as Oscar to take up a new sport. It's in his best interest to just ignore it, he'll call out Malignaggi for an MMA fight but he won't call out somebody like Charlo because that could go horribly wrong against somebody younger, taller, stronger
Charles Jackson
>we heard you wuz running ya mouth /box/
Gavin Young
*out sliccs the Cuban*
Thomas Jones
>he ran away from this
Bentley Jenkins
>this is who /box/ actually thinks can clean up the heavyweight division
Logan Bailey
>implying he isnt just cultivating mass so he can comeback as a KO machine
Thomas Reed
if he eats right and does proper conditioning, the fat will fly off.
Jason Sanchez
in before he get's fit and right before the fight have another mental breakdown and quit
Robert Clark
Fury needs to get himself in the gym if hes going to compete with Femi X
Joshua Robinson
Just bulking my dude
Charles Johnson
Is having a above average reach an unconvenient in the clinch vs a reachlet ?
Landon Moore
water bloat
Hudson Collins
question makes absolutely no sense.
Tyler Reed
well when you have long arms it's easier to grab them and also you need more space to generate power in a close space
Landon Lee
right but if you're in a clinch none of that matters.
Carson Gonzalez
yeah having long reach is a disadvantage but there are good infighters with long reach
Jeremiah Watson
...
Ian Flores
He's already lost a fair bit of weight as it is. I'm not worried,I have no doubt he'll come back and become new champ
Henry Mitchell
>“I think I know what I have to do with Wilder,” Joshua said. >“Parker? I don't disregard him but I think I'd smack Parker around the ring, no problem. Wilder? I'd knock Wilder out, it would take a bit of time but I'd definitely knock him out. Parker would take a bit more of a pasting but I'd get to him. Wilder, I'd knock him out with one shot. Not like I'd go in there and bang but when I catch Wilder, I'd definitely knock him out.”
Easton Green
God I hate this cunt so much. Parker or Wilder I don't care as long as he gets knocked out
Nathaniel Lewis
enjoying Joshua's heel turn desu
James Torres
Takam exposed him already
Adam Taylor
>that flag for sure he did, hubert
Nolan Nguyen
Takam also exposed Parker and Povetkin. He's simply a good fighter and not easy for anyone
Angel Young
Povetkin knocking him out cold and was up on points lmao
Joseph Nelson
It was a 50-50 fight before the KO. Joshua actually dominated him more than Povetkin did, considering he probably didn't win a single round against AJ
Kayden Johnson
Trinidad had major issues with the jab against much smaller men. Too bad Vernon Forrest didn't get a crack at him
Jack Lopez
Him fighting Hopkins was a mistake
Jack Lewis
>McGregor vs Pacquiao announced >Mayweather joins McGregors camp and helps train him
Wouldn't this be interesting?
Jason Bailey
Pac couldnt handle Conors angles
Josiah Clark
He was bound to get whipped by somebody at that point. Maybe giving DLH his rematch would've made more money, I don't know
Andrew Barnes
Yeah he did straight rob DLH in there fight
Jaxson Rivera
>he's too awkward for Floyd!!!!
Xavier Allen
>Wins rounds against the boxing GOAT
Jason Phillips
Being honest lads,how would you rate Conor's performance in his fight with Floyd?
Grayson Rogers
meme/10
Liam Butler
how long you think the fight wouldve went if mayweather went serious from the beginning? my guess is 4-8 rounds
Sebastian Scott
He was given those rounds.
Jordan Lewis
very good for a pro boxing debut
Austin Diaz
good enough, and even had peabrain floyd shitting himself during the first rounds
