Essential The Official Boxing Random Thoughts Thread...All boxing heads ENTER.

His stock went down -1000 when he ducked a washed up RahmanOn another note brehs, I dont care what anybody says, but Vitali Klitschko is one of the most UNDERRATED fighters I have ever seen.
He's never touched the deck in any of his career fights and was never beaten in any fight ever. The loss to Chris Byrd was due to him tearing his rotator cuff in the fight and the fight was stopped with Klitschko not being able to continue......and he was winning 88-83, 88-83, 89-82 on all 3 of the judges scorecards at the time. Unfortunately, wack ass Chris Byrd got a "TKO" victory
His fight with Lennox Lewis, Vitali was winning 58-56 on all 3 judge scorecards when the fight was stopped by the doctor. Vitali was also outlanding him 156 to 102 in total punches (79 Vitali to 50 Lennox in power punches). Lennox was turning up, but we'll never know how that fight would've ended.
Vitali's reach, chin, power, conditioning, and boxing skill would've been tough for anyone to beat period....only the elite of the elite. I dont have a list where I rank Vitali, but I put him amongst Tyson, Lewis, Holmes, and Holyfield as the best 5 Heavyweights (since 1980)
Bottom line is both Klits get slighted because of their negotiating /ducking tactics, if a certain style doesn't mess let Wlad handle him and Vice Versa.....
Straight trollin but so much truthFreddie Roach quotes on Manny Pacquiao/Timothy Bradley from boxingscene.com
I can't front, Roach getting a nikka hyped for this Manny/Bradley rematch.
at the " he didn't come to the ring in a wheel chair. Manny hit him so hard it broke his ankles."

they have something like that?
Yes sir!
I've had times when I've at least thought about being involved in boxing in some type of way
You've even had professional boxers attend the seminar just to learn about the promotional aspects of boxing for their own knowledge or just for life after boxing. Although I feel promoting is really some hands on shyt that you gotta do yourself, I've heard this is really good.
Now is probably a good time to go. It's been going on for awhile, so they've probably perfected their setup. Tuition has dropped as well, as it use to be much more expensive to go.
EDIT
I just saw that synistr already answered the question. I wanted to respond to you about the fukkery of dealing with a professional boxer (& boxing in general) which is correct, which is why I've always been reluctant to pursue it.
Maybe when I'm in a better place in life I will make a run at it, but more in an advisor role.
to all the smaller mma/boxing promotional companies out there grinding & putting in the work. Fans don't really have a clue what goes into giving these guys a platform to show off their talent.

I aint really tryin to do too much with it. Its more about learning for me and also being able to propagate the sport. Here in NC, there are plenty of boxing fans but no boxing. Its not a hotbed either, lol. I do have some ideas and would like to bring in a show every now and then. Had I been in the game I couldve established a good rapport already and possibly signed some fighters. I knew several fighters when they were amateurs or early in their pro careers before they had management or promoters. Tavoris Cloud is one. I met him when he was in his 4th pro fight. He was buried on a card with a lot of less talented guys. The moment I saw him, I was like he is gonna be good. He did end up fighting Hopkins so I was proud of my eye for talent...because NOBODY knew who this kid was and he used to train here with Don Turner down on the coast. I would see him doing roadwork on occasion.
Luckily he made it...but there are many others who have talent but sometimes they dont get that break and like you said...its hard keeping them focused and motivated. Cloud was motivated...and he was a very quiet guy so he wasnt really about that trouble life.

yeah....lol. I aint tryin to be in it full time yet. I just want to be able to throw on some local shows here and there and maybe some MMA even. there is more MMA here in NC than boxing.
its crazy. even on an ESPN telecast, we only sell out half of our arena (PNC...where NC State plays, seats nearly 20k) yet when Raw or Smackdown is here the shyt is outta control.

Funny how I've seen all this talk about Wilder lately. Like he's actually fought any live bodies 
If anybody's gonna get exposed, it's him.
Bryant Jennings would give him the work if they fought. Jennings has quickly become my favorite American Heavyweight. For the longest it was Eddie Chambers (I used to be a semi-stan lol).

random question: how many of you know someone OUTSIDE of The Coli that knows as much about boxing as you? in other words are you the most knowledgeable boxing head you know?
I used to know more real boxing fans when I actually went to the boxing gym to train, but as of now I only have like one person that I know who is a boxing fan, but he ain't some hardcore head like us though.

Jennings seems to be the real deal right now. He just doesn't get the props he deserves though.

Most people I know are casuals. I knew a few very knowledgeable fans, but most really don't know shyt.random question: how many of you know someone OUTSIDE of The Coli that knows as much about boxing as you? in other words are you the most knowledgeable boxing head you know?
