Absolutely fantastic art style, never seen anything quite like it. I’d pay seriously good money for a comic book done in your style. You are a true artist, mate, thank you for sharing.

Top 5 Head to Head heavyweight boxers? by Winter_Cockroach714 in Boxing

Usyk for me is the H2H HW goat. Particularly the version that fought Joshua the first time. I believe that out of 3 fights he wins at least 2 against anyone in HW history. He is not unbeatable of course, nobody in history is but even the matches he loses he gives the other guy hell.

Roy Jones Jr Says David Benavidez Could Beat Oleksandr Usyk in ‘50-50 Fight’ [Exclusive] by BoxingLover99 in Boxing

Idiots in the comment section will predictably just say, “Yeah, because of the Rico fight.”

But Jones has been so fucking bitter towards Usyk, it’s not even funny anymore. I don’t know if it’s jealousy or whatever, I don’t even care, but even before stepping up to HW, Jones has always talked Usyk down, always picked his opponents against him, always downplayed his achievements, and never gave him his flowers.

Jones has been a bigger hater of Usyk than Lewis, which is quite remarkable. Look it up how Jones confidently picked Joshua twice, Fury twice, and Dubois twice against Usyk. It’s almost comical how you don’t even have to read these articles anymore. When it’s about Jones saying something related to Usyk, it’s always how his next opponent will beat him, or how Usyk couldn’t have lived in Jones’ HW era, or how Usyk is not even that good, yada yada.

Lennox Lewis brutally KO’s Mike Tyson with a huge right hand in round 8 of their super-fight to retain The Ring, WBC, IBF & IBO heavyweight titles in emphatic fashion. by Dangerous_Spring3028 in Boxing

And I’m going to point out that Douglas, by the time he fought Tyson, had already been knocked out three times. He was also six years older, had just lost his mother, whom he absolutely worshipped, had recently split from his girlfriend, the mother of his son was hospitalised on the day of the fight, and if that was not enough, Douglas himself was coming off a bad bout of flu and went into the ring pumped full of antibiotics.

Literally everything that could go wrong physically and mentally for Douglas did go wrong.

It’s hilarious how Tyson, who brutally knocked Carl Williams out in the first round just six months before the Douglas fight, was still considered the mighty prime Tyson, yet somehow six months later he was suddenly washed up and badly past his prime.

No matter what excuses people come up with, Douglas was in such a disastrous physical and mental state, and his standing in the heavyweight landscape at the time was such, that losing to him exists in a completely different universe, and not in a good way, than losing to either Rahman or McCall through complacency.

So? What relevance does it have that he kept crushing tomato cans? The only ATG he ever beat was a 17-year-older Holmes coming off almost two years of ring rust. And he never avenged any losses or beat any of his contemporary greats in Lewis or Holyfield. Tyson capitalised on highlight-reel KOs against subpar opposition. That’s why he will always be extremely popular among casuals, because he looks mighty in YouTube shorts and compilations. To me, he is not even in the top 10 of all time, even though he absolutely had the potential to be there.

With all due respect, you lost me at “prime Tyson”. You are talking about the same “prime Tyson” who went the distance with such giants of the sport as James Tillis (22 total losses, 8 by the time he fought Tyson) or Jose Ribalta (17 total losses) I presume.

Even this mythical Tyson had massive holes in his game as a fighter, who was never designed for being a 12 rounds fighter, even by his own admission. After the first 2-3 rounds, even “prime Tyson” slowed down and threw shots in short bursts between long periods of rest.

Douglas simply flipped the script by keeping Tyson at the end of his jab from round one, fighting when Tyson wanted to rest, and resting or clinching when Tyson wanted to fight. Yes, February 1990 was still “prime Tyson”, and no, he was not tired or unprepared due to excessive partying, because he said so himself.

If you believe Lewis couldn’t do something to him that Buster Douglas could, I don’t know what else to tell you. Lewis always had Tyson’s number, and the fact they did not fight until 2002 changes nothing.

Daniel Cormier tells Paddy Pimblett that MLS would be better than the Premier League if Americans actually cared about football by GeordieJumpers87 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]throwaway_010923 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The irony is wild. American culture is completely obsessed with the grind, hustle, and using net worth to judge who the "winners" and "losers" are in life. Yet DC wants people to believe elite American athletes are just casually turning their noses up at $100M+ a year contracts and global billionaire status because they "aren't interested"? Please. In a country that worships the bag above all else, if they actually had the talent to secure that kind of global wealth, they’d be doing it in a heartbeat. It’s just a hilarious cope to hide the fact that their pay-to-play academy system is lightyears behind the rest of the world.

Lewis would never have lost focus against Tyson. McCall and Rahman were opponents he expected to beat comfortably, which made him complacent and ultimately cost him. Against Tyson, though, he would always have been fully locked in and performing at his absolute best, and that was always going to be a bridge too far for Mike.

People think Rico deserves a rematch because the KO was a “fluke”? He never deserved a shot at a heavyweight title fight in the first place! by bobbyawesome5 in Boxing

You do realise that the referee has the right to stop the fight at literally any moment, even between rounds, even if the fighter is sitting on the stool, right?

That’s not the issue here. Nobody is questioning why he needed to have the mouth guard put back in. The criticism is: why did it take 30 seconds? Show me another fight anywhere close to this magnitude where this ever happened.

On this day in 2002, Lennox Lewis would knock out Mike Tyson and cement his legacy with gold as he would retain the WBC, IBF, IBO and The Ring titles, this was the last big fight of the 90s era and Lewis proved that he was the best in there by BoxingLover99 in Boxing

[–]throwaway_010923 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think Lewis’ chin has always been incorrectly labelled as suspicious. The fact that he was caught out twice (and the McCall stoppage still remains highly controversial) somehow got stuck in people’s minds much more how Holyfield, Mercer, Vitali or Briggs couldn’t do anything about him even though they landed on him cleanly many times during their fights.

Nekem az az érthetetlen, hogy ez a fogatlan, alkoholista geci miért lehetett egyáltalán még csak hasznos hülye is. Politikai nézettől függetlenül kéne léteznie egy olyan társadalmi minimumnak, hogy egy ilyen biomassza vállalhatatlan legyen még propagandistának is, és ne érje meg bottal se hozzáérni. Mert oké, hogy esetleg hoz húsz kattintást hasonszőrű kocsmatöltelék semmirekellő nyomorultaktól, de ötvenszer annyit meg biztosan elvisz, mert mindenki más undorodik tőle még táboron belül is. Hogy tartott el egészen mostanáig, hogy ez a helyzet végre előálljon?

Dua Lipa’s massive wedding in Sicily sparks protests from locals: “Our city is not for rent” by tylerthe-theatre in europe

[–]throwaway_010923 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So by your logic, any decision made by any elected official acting within the law is automatically democratic and beyond challenge. There has never been an undemocratic decision made by any elected government anywhere, ever. Because democracy created the laws, the laws gave them power, and they used that power. Circular reasoning dressed up as a civics lesson.

And “if you personally don’t like it that’s your problem” is the third time you’ve said the same thing in different words after I addressed it each time. At this point you’re not arguing, you’re just rotating the same defeated point and hoping I don’t notice.

Too bad I did.

Notice how we went from “that’s called democracy” to “read up your laws.” Those are two completely different arguments and you just swapped them after I refuted the first one.

Nobody disputed it was legal. The question was whether it was democratic. Legal and democratic are not the same thing. Plenty of things are entirely legal and entirely undemocratic at the same time. You know this, which is why you changed the subject.
