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

[Newzz]

but that article that was posted is only talking about the PBC cards on free TV though breh...thats where my angle/comments are coming from

I know....and that's my problem (not with you, but in general). Everyone only talks about Haymon, but leave out the fact that Arum & DLH have been even worse than he has this year.


That's why I keep saying if we gonna bash him, we have to bash them as well....but nobody says anything about it.


Again: Lomachenko, Walters, Crawford, Ramirez, Bradley, Postol have only fought once this year & have nothing scheduled either.....Brandon Rios hadn't fought at all in 2016. Yet, no one talks bad/randomly makes articles discussing the state of Top Rank.

Again: Luis Ortiz bought himself out due to the fact he was frustrated with the lack of fights he's getting & Canelo is taking guaranteed W fights, fights that even his biggest haters can't imagine he'd lose, and putting them on PPV for $70. Yet no one makes articles discussing the state of Golden Boy.


I just feel the media & most Boxing fans just run with whatever story instead of looking at a compare and contrast. Is PBC not doing what they should be? Hell yeah, and I've criticized Haymon's lack of getting his fighters in the ring with good opps as we all have....HOWEVER, PBC has also made the best matchups (name fighters/good opponents) out of the 3 this year.

No matter how the media spins it, "inactive fighters", "low quality opposition".... this is not soley a Haymon/PBC problem bc Arum/TR & DLH/GB have been even WORSE this year at putting good matchups together & getting their known fighters in the ring imo. Let the Boxing media tell it though, PBC has ruined Boxing:forreal:


I would love to see a COMBINED Top 10 list of fights with fighters from Top Rank & Golden Boy involved this year...and let's compare it to PBC fighters vs their opps. Let's see who's really putting on the best quality fights

Mike Tyson Says His Ring Career is Unknown To Today's Youth

There was a time when Mike Tyson was one of the most recognizable athletes on the planet. Now? Not so much.

There’s a pretty clear generational line among those who know Tyson as one of the best boxers of the late 20th century and those who don’t. Those who don’t recognize Tyson for what he did in the ring as a boxing champion see him as something completely different: the guy from “The Hangover” with the face tattoo.

“Different generations. You run into some kid, this is a real humbling experience,” Tyson explained in an interview with Sports Illustrated. “I went to this high school. Six hundred kids in the room, 700 kids, maybe 1,000. They had this big screen, giant, 10-by-10. They were showing the kids some of my fights because they didn’t know who I was. They just thought I was an actor from ‘The Hangover.’”

Tyson’s boxing past remains, of course. It’s just passed down from one generation to another at this point.

“This one little Mexican kid said, ‘I think my grandfather told me about you,’ ” Tyson recalled with a laugh in the SI interview. “Never in my life am I going to forget that. You talk about a humbling experience.”

Oh, and there’s also the whole tattoo-on-the-face thing, which Tyson claims he doesn’t regret.

“A lot of stuff happened out of this tattoo, a lot of good stuff,” he told SI. “Other young athletes come to me and say, It’s because of you they call it the Mike Tyson.”

Tyson, now 50, seems pretty content at this point, traveling the world with his wife and kids doing his one-man show, recalling the events of his life.

It's his own fault for turning himself into a joke imo.


The Hangover definitely made him into an "actor", just like the grill turned Foreman into "that guy who sells the grills" for the non-Boxing fan not from their generation


He chose his own path to be remembered this way imo

The only time vitali was ever knocked out was by a kick in his kickboxing career. :dahell is he still standing after this uppercut

Vitali was out on his feet there. Lennox was too gassed to push him off. If he did Vitali would have tumbled backwards.

Rape or not, he physically abused Robin Givens. That's factual.


I respect him in the ring, outside of it he gets the from me....I forgot all about Tyson's background


He's in the same category as Floyd & SRR to me...Great fighters, but fukk them for beating women



Same way I feel about Edwin Valero even though he took it even farther
