[Chief_Second]

[Axe]

ameteur fights don't really count lol!

you might also be shocked to know that joe calzaghe stopped chris byrd as an ameteurtrue but it shows the temprement of what the boxer can do if he loses alot he aint gonna do too well in a long career

i would take that solis has beaten most of the heavywieght contenders right now and he was in his prime.
it's about 10% legacy i feel. and this wasnt a score card win...it was a ko. rarely do guys of good class lose by ko in am fights especially outside the olympics, the only men i know would be bowe and holmes

and joe calzaghe was a devastating puncher in his early career before he broke his hand he has changed his style totally...so yea i wouldnt be surprised if he koed chris.

[achillesthegreat]

So? The amateurs is to learn, the pros is where you get scruitinised.

Do you know how many solid chins Savon hurt up? Doesn't mean these guys have got bad chins! If it does tell that to David Tua and Lamon Brewster. They'll tell you all about Felix.

It's the ams. You'd be suprised how many of these guys have fought each other.

Maybe since he's a professional fighter, he recognizes that amateur victories mean nothing in the pros. Different game, period.

[Vantage_West]

Yup. Or that Montell Griffin beat heavyweights John Ruiz and Jeremy Williams...twice!

so montell was a heavy small man i would take him to beat some heavywieghts.....anyways who do you think is better skill wise griffin or ruiz

[Vantage_West]

Joe certainly demonstrated more powerful application of the open hand fist as an amateur and early in his pro career....open hand or not it doesnt matter, he hit harder back then i think he pulls the punches back a bit.

a good showing of his speed and power was against delaney broke his nose knocked him around silly the modern day joe wouldnt be able to stop him...ud deffinatly but ko no









and anyways all i was saying is that darnell stopped jeff lacy stop picking on me because of me feeble minded...mind:|

[sues2nd]

Ams and pros are two different animals. Tho still a nice bragging point to have KOd a fighter like Lacy....even then.

[China_hand_Joe]

and anyways all i was saying is that darnell stopped jeff lacy stop picking on me because of me feeble minded...mind:|Everyone has KO'd Lacy, even Evans Ashira and Joe....oh...not Joe actually.

But I was surprised to hear it, having not heard it before from Wilson himself. Does that make him humble-ish fighter?

[aliwasthegreatest]

no, he's just a realist. he knows if he told us that, then you would see the same responses of how it doesn't matter cuz it was the ams. no reason to brag about it because he has a real career now and he's bein a beast

[Butch Coolidge]

The topic would have been raised before if they were competing in the same weight division as pros.

It will be interesting if Solis and Ibragimov, I believe that's the Cuban Ibragimov fought in the Olympics, continue their rivalry in the paid ranks. I saw that fight and I think SI would have won it if they were using a 10 point must system like the professionals use.

Also, somebody will eventually mention that Duane Bobick KOed Larry Holmes in the amatuers too. So I guess I'll save somebody a little typing.

[Glove Up]

The Darnell Wilson they are talking about is not our infamous Ding-A-Ling Man. This was a different Darnell Wilson that they mention. I know that there is a Darnell Wilson who fights as a middleweight and I believe that he might be the one. Ding used to kill himself to make Light Heavy, so I know fighting at any weight class lower would be next to impossible for him.

great selling point for darnell why didnt he say that beforeWhere does it say he KO'd him???? It says Lacy lost to Wilson doesn't say he KO'd him.

[Kostya Zoo]

The Darnell Wilson that fought Lacy was not the DINGALING man, it was the 156 pounder from Louisiana. He was the alternate to dave Reid on the 96 Olympic team and as a pro he lost a 10 rd decision to Chad Dawson.

well thats even worse now isnt it.

[Kostya Zoo]

although being KO'd by ding-a-ling wouldn't reflect that badly on lacy.

Where did it say that Lacy was knocked out by Wilson? It says that he lost to Wilson, and finished in 3rd. That means that he finished 3rd in the tournament.
