TFFP thinks he's the oracle of boxing.

I don't know much.

So me and TFFP will go head to head in predictions.

Any fights he wishes to name, we'll predict and see who's the winner at the end....

No, not really.

But it doesn't do any harm.

onourgay you useless turd, you'll just copy all my picks.

My record speaks for itself in prediction leagues, which means I know styles. It doesn't mean I know more than guys that are historians, in these areas I'm lacking so i can't consider myself an oracle

Stick to building Hatton shrines.

well to solve your problem mate, why dont you make the rules so that onourway has to pick his fighters first everytime, as long as on our way doesnt mind?

We will make alternating picks to make it fair. There is no danger of me copying onourgay as I would consider our Guinea Pig George to have comparable knowledge

It would be a lot easier if he just joined the Brit prediction league started by smith

onourway
08-24-2008, 02:52 PM
I'm not picking first everytime, I think this sunshine deprived bollock might copy all my predictions as well.

We'll take it in turns.

TFFP can choose the first fight and I'll predict first.....vica versa.

I wouldn't put this shit on PPV out of embarrasment. It's a mismatch. If it does it will only be because onourgay has read his heros guide to fleecing the fans

It's more like a gimme defence for me

If I was up against a solid fight predictor such as smith it would be interesting

onourway
08-24-2008, 03:00 PM
And if anybody wants to be a middle man who picks the fights/takes our predictions via PM, then do it.

If not, we'll sort it between us.

Benjiabc
08-24-2008, 03:01 PM
i would happily be a middle man, its entirely a choice between the two of you, but the offer is there

Great welter, lost in his only fight at middle. Therefore a shit fighter like Hatton?;)

And no, I don't think Hatton is up there with Napoles but if you dominate a division for a number of years then thats good enough for me.

It is good enough in itself, if your resume is great at that weight. I don't rule people out just because they fought in one division, infact I'm an advocate of clearing out your own weight before cherrypicking guys in the next, a la Mayweather

By the way, Napoles was a half decent 140lb fighter before doing damage at welterweight. And it was fecking Monzon at middleweight :lol:

GazOC
08-24-2008, 06:43 PM
It was fecking Mayweather at welter.

TFFP
08-24-2008, 06:45 PM

He was shite against Collazo too and lucky to get it. I doubt a true great like Napoles would be going life and death against a Collazo because he put on a few lbs.

I know you are going to say "he got the W" or something to that end, but performance matters too

Benjiabc
08-24-2008, 06:47 PM
yea hatton was poor agaisnt collazo, but for me i thought he was brilliant against zoo and thats when i really became a fan,since that fight, he hasnt really performed

Aye, its a poor division but Hatton doesn't have the physical qualities to beat these big Welters. He's been the man for 3 years at 140 and has had a very good but not great career, it seems thats not enough for some people...;O)

Hatton got found out against Mayweather

all that bollocks about

"he is going to be embarrassed by losing to a fat kid from England"

all said for effect and to sell the fight

that was all about just netting a career high monster payday

Hatton lives a crap lifestlye - of Beer, Kebabs, Burgers, Chips, Choclate, ICE CREAM

WTF is 'elite'? I assume its one up from 'world class' which is where Hatton has been for the last 4 years. Is that not good enough?:roll:

Elite I'll give you

Skillset can be wishy washy unless people actually expand on the components of a skillset

What's wrong with resume though? It's just a simplified term to sum up a guys career record/competition isn't it? It's a lot easier than typing out all the guys people fought and having to remember their records.

onourway

Like 'Joe Calzaghe has a shit resume' is an accurate and to the point sentence without having to go in to too much detail.

GazOC - There are a lot of good fighters that are defined as 'world class' because they are competitive and perform well on the world stage, in title fights, against the top guys in their division.

'Elite' guys are those guys that take it a step further. For me their are only a handful of 'elite' fighters around, although I would define a fair few fighter's as world class.

To give you an example, I would define Joshua Clottey as a 'world class' fighter, he's a guy who can beat some of the top guys around him in his division, and be competitive with pretty much anyone. Whereas a guy like Mayweather is what I would class as 'elite', he takes it that extra step further in that he can beat anyone in his division, in what he's achieved and in the fact that despite Clottey being a very good fighter - a world class fighter even - Mayweather is still a level above.

World class is far more easily defined, since it is a guy that can be competitive at world title level.

"Elite" is a term used when somebody wants to denigrate a boxer for being merely 'world class'. Do people really understand what it takes to be a world class boxer for 4 years?

A being called 'world class' boxer used to mean something, now it just means you're not 'elite'. :roll:

I understand your point. But then again the term 'world class' in itself is pretty subjective. A lot of people will reserve that for the very best fighters, not just those competitive at world level, even though that makes the most sense.

I can't think of many boxers I's class as truly elite - Roy Jones in his pomp...

Pretty tough definition.

It is pretty strict lol, every boxer, and their dog now appears to be "elite" or a "total legend".

I have come to the conclusion you have nothing to worry about TFFP. He's just posted a topic in the general forum talking about how quality of wins should rank over undefeated records.

Talk about stating the fucking obvious.

If they are betting on Hatton-Pac then TFFP is on the losing side.:yep

Hatton V Pac is ages away. This will be a longer induction then Hayes excursion into the heavyweights.

The syllables are perfect too!

Where you from?

:smoke

I was born in England and raised in Scotland, but I have Russian and Icelandic ancestral relatives. My grandmother would never forgive my parents if they didn't raise kids with a basic grasp of Icelandic words and culture. Bizzarely, the only non-English languages I speak are French and Gaelic, but I plan to speak Icelandic some day. I might attempt Russian in the distant future, but only if they Romanize their alphabet like sensible people.

At my best I have the passion of a Russian, the prudence of a Scot and the nobility of an Icelander. At my worst, I have the passion of an Icelander, the prudence of a Russian and the nobility of a Scot!

'Above average world class', WTF is that???:patsch


If you think he's a cunt, then fair enough but he's had a very good career for a Brit boxer. Your (attempted) definition of 'elite' just shows what a crock of shit the term it is.

I stand by what I say because at least in my own head I know what I mean.

"Above average world class" - it means a fighter like Roy Jones and Floyd Mayweather can make a "world class" fighter like Clinton Woods and Diego Corrales look like very "average" fighters even though they are ranked as "world class" as in one of the best 10 or 20 fighters in the world. - in the case of Corrales he was NO 2 in the world and Mayweather totally outclassed him and knocked him down about 5 times.

Jones and Mayweather can do this because they are "above average world class" and "elite" top pound for pound fighters in the world.

I mean Jones had a habit of doing it he made world class fighters look very ordinary and "average" - even guys like Tony Thorton are on the fringes of world class and Jones just had a public sparring session with him for a couple of rounds then knocked him out in the 3rd.

I suppose if you wanted a clear standard of what "elite" is instead of some wishy washy idea of what it is - something like the top ten pound for pound fighters in the world could be considered "elite"

Hatton was NO 1 at Light Welterweight but still falls short of this "elite" level

Hatton has had a very good career - no arguments there.

Made alot of money - wan a few world titles - best light welterweight in the world at his prime - he has done well.

beat "world class" fighters

but when he fought the "elite" fighter in the world he got knocked out.

If Hatton had got Ko'ed in round 1 by Mayweather I'd still give him more credit and respect for taking a top draw fight then some.

haven't had the chance to read the thread yet but I will say that TFFP is one of the best posters around, ouourway is a clown. Opposite ends of the spectrum.

An opinion based entirely on how they view Hatton.
