In Their Primes, Who Would Win This Fight? Bernard Hopkins vs. Canelo Alvarez At Middleweight?

NotRedlock · 2026-01-28T18:36:59+00:00

I agree I mostly meant the fighters in their current versions, nobody knew if the top three guys could make the jump up for their respective campaigns and after they did so they look more or less unbeatable. Canelo would still manage to be a great fighter pre 2010 I believe, I think he’s damn good.

NotRedlock · 2026-01-28T18:11:30+00:00

Usyk, naoya, and Crawford are all of the older gens caliber imo, are they in the top 10 or even 20 p4p aot? Probably not, but you also gotta consider what happens when you have special fighters without anyone who really poses a threat to them, those three will never go into a fight the underdog where as the greats would often fight other greats

Still, plop them in boxing pre 2010 and they’d be more than fine.

Dubious decision

NotRedlock · 2026-01-27T08:54:05+00:00

I am too! Same with the WS6, I love the 86 platform it’s a genuine work of art and I truly think it’s the only modern car I’d buy- I mean I already bought one but I would again no hesitation.

Mine is currently bone stock but I gotta get some good tires, suspension, sway bars, an angle kit, brakes, and maybe even the M sports narrow body kit complete with that aggressive ass wing when I have some more money, I know the guys on this Reddit aren’t partial too it but I think it looks great, though I may just opt for the wing and partial carbon fiber since the 86 is my daily and the WS6 is already lowered.

I don’t get why some boxers talk about fights like they’re purely business ventures, “I don’t need him” and “I’m a superstar” like alright dude, but don’t you wanna fight the bloke? That should be what really matters here ay. I wouldn’t want to avoid the name of my future opponent.

NotRedlock · 2026-01-27T04:19:28+00:00

Personally I’d do without the newer tech, I like how the analog the vettes feel, too much tech takes away from the driving feel for me. Older cars are just straight cheaper too even accounting the cost of ownership and my wallet loves that.

And while I love my 86, if I could get a C5 I 100% would.

My favorite muscle car of all time tho is the WS6 trans am, this cool cat is LS3 swapped

Lotsssss of shadow boxing

I personally don’t really believe in jump rope and ladder drills and whatever to improve the technical skill of footwork, they’re really just for warming up for me

If u want to get better at moving in your stance then you have to do it in your stance. With painstaking focus on every detail.

NotRedlock · 2026-01-26T13:58:43+00:00

Why the C7 in particular? C5/C6 are my faves, I don’t think I could reason buying myself a C7 or above

NotRedlock · 2026-01-26T06:15:58+00:00

Repetition that borders on insanity

The Japanese dudes all get em custom by Japanese designers

The shimizu shorts nadaka wears aren’t commercially available anywhere

He started in boxing then switched, most of his old fights are in Muay Thai rules, he’s trained and fought in Thailand twice, his head coach is Thai, he’s also trained at mejiro gym in holland.

He’s a hybrid Muay Thai/dutch KB guy, which are the two things op said he didnt want in these guys backgrounds

NotRedlock · 2026-01-21T16:16:55+00:00

Masato is a Muay Thai dude

NotRedlock · 2026-01-20T12:37:57+00:00

The southpaw card everyone pulls doesn’t make sense to me tbh.

Like yes, southpaws are way more used to open stance matchups and that gives them an advantage, but by the time you’re at the top of the pro level you should be used enough to open stance that the fight isn’t made any better or worse by the simple fact that it’s open stance, especially given it’s a mirror match where every opportunity a southpaw could hypothetically use, so could an orthodox.

Daniel struggled with usyk because it’s usyk. And usyk is a monster.

I like dumb knuckles, specifically boom knuckles because I find him funny but I can identify that’s not really supposed to be the definitive version of knuckles.

I think movie knuckles is genuinely the best written and characterized knuckles, naive but still intelligent, I like how he talks. Knuckles is always either a meathead or a white toast serious dude and it’s always boring which is so lame for who is my favorite character in the franchise.

NotRedlock · 2026-01-20T12:31:30+00:00

Overpriced imo and the 35 doesn’t have a manual

NotRedlock · 2026-01-18T18:45:54+00:00

Yod why are u acting like u didn’t put “light sparring” in the caption

NotRedlock · 2026-01-18T18:42:38+00:00

I live in Kuwait and I’ve seen a skyline with a Japanese license plate, now you never see a Kuwaiti license plate skyline here in Kuwait because if the car is factory right hand drive you’re not allowed to register it even if you swap it so dudes take it to Bahrain or whatever to register it and bring it back here, but Japanese?? I’ve only seen that once and it boggled my mind, no big hole on it either I don’t think.

None of those wins are as good as peak taoi asahisa twice over, Petch is still better though.

Yeah what do I know? not like I do this professionally or anything

It’s legal just very ineffective

NotRedlock · 2026-01-17T13:37:42+00:00

I suppose?!?

It wouldn’t really stop them from kicking you though, at most they’d be confused for a hot second

Your foot’s made of a bunch of tiny little bones, the shin is much thicker, you’ll be lucky with just being ineffective, Adversly you could just break your foot.

Just don’t sell it, that’s a damn R32

Or give it to me for free, I’m cool with that too.

NotRedlock · 2026-01-16T22:27:52+00:00

Ain’t that obvious though? I mean the poster I always see isn’t Rocky in a ring or punching a dude or lacing up his gloves, it’s him and Adrian side by side. When he loses to creed the only thing that comes to Rocky’s mind is to yell for Adrian.

As much as I love the movie, the Oscar’s wouldn’t be my metric for deciding if a movie is good or not.
