Jake looks so average and Tommy Fury is so bad, Mike logically has to win.

@mozfonky You were right he says that he actually coaches boxing now. He's not just a former boxer but a trainer.
that's mostly what I've seen, saw him on my facebook feeds. Knew after a few viewings he knows his stuff. Seemed to come out of nowhere so it makes sense that he was probably preoccuppied with a proper career and got back into the sport after retirement or what have you.

Makes sense. He also explained why he didn't turn pro. A guy in his area, who acted like a mob boss, tried to tell him that he'd be promoting him from that point on. Frank says he looked around the table and saw nothing but a bunch of fat cats wearing expensive suits, drinking brandy, and smoking Cuban cigars. He then told the guy that must be where all of the fighters' money is going.

In another segment he said that at 10 years old he boxed a guy that eventually wound up as a criminal in the IRA. The Irish Republican Army. I plan on watching the whole thing later tonight. Just skipped through some of it for now.
 
I remember when he went after Mencia. It was a long time ago. This Dave Portnoy guy is the Barstool Sports founder.
You know Mencia was a hack comedian because he couldn't clown Joe's just yelling at him the entire time while thinking he was being funny. Like shit on his bad breath then say Joe I'm right here buddy you don't need to yell you're jokes at me.
Or hey don't worry Joe I won't be taking any jokes from you because you don't have any.

Instead he let Rogan walk all over his set like he's never had to deal with a drunk heckler before.
 
Tyson has no chance. He is really old and his training footage is heavily edited. Even his sparring is just people being bags for him. Tyson has a history of using a cane when he walks.

i'm in the middle of the long one.

does he really? I know he tore his knee seriously in the williams fight, i think it required surgery. As I mentioned, that's a huge thing with age, Tommy Hearns broke an ankle fighting a club fighter, Pernell Whitaker broke his collar bone and they weren't even close to being 58. It's true, past 30, it's all downhill.
 
Allegedly Kevin McBride is 6'6 with an 80" reach. That's according to BoxRec. His reach is pretty short for a guy that tall though. Normally guys that tall have at least 82 or 83 inches of reach. Fury, who is realistically about 6'7, has an 85" reach. Manny Steward said that it's actually longer than that which I wouldn't doubt. He would know.

I agree with Holmes. Fighting rangy opponents that are significantly taller does tend to be more challenging. Even an untrained beanpole can make a much shorter man's punch miss his head simply by leaning back as it comes in. Boxers would be well-advised not to do this, instead they should use a proper layback, but many did this and still do to this day. Muay Thai fighters often utilize it to dodge kicks and other incoming strikes. It can be really effective even if it can be dangerous.

Yeah, giving up several inches in height is more difficult but it becomes especially difficult when that person also has a long reach to go with it. You'll have to constantly punch upward as the much shorter guy and will have to work harder just to get into range. Boxers are taught to try and bring the taller man's head down by going to the body but that's not easy to do consistently. When attacking their head you'll have to punch up whether you like it or not if there's a significant height difference.
I've met McBride. I'm 6'2" and I felt like a child next to him. He's a huge man.

I guess it always could've been worse. George Lopez physically attacked Mencia over stolen jokes.

funny thing is, comedians have always been a vile, competitive bunch. They hate each other, always have. It's like that when you're in the same field, everyone going for the big bone and you'll slit anyone's throat you can. It's in every field but comedians are particularly nasty and mouthy. The stealing jokes, which they all do, has just been an excuse for comedians to hate another forever. Sam Kinison claimed Andrew Dice Clay stole his jokes and maybe he did but the real reason was Dice was the most famous comic in the country at a brief point.
 
That might work for you but he'd KO me in a heartbeat:)
other night, when I was picking up an order at a sportsbar, they had what was billed as "life sized" photos of Muhammad Ali's fist and George Foreman's fist. I put my hand up to both, Ali's was maybe 20 percent bigger, Foremans was maybe 40 percent bigger, quite humbling for me.

He has really bad back issues and flareups.

He was probably quaking in fear at the mere sight of Joe's massive hands and shoulders, he has violence in his DNA
 
I have no doubt Mike is still faster, more explosive, and a harder puncher than Jake and he's obviously more talented. The problem is I have no faith in his ability to take a punch. He's going to be the glass cannon of glass cannons
 
Does anyone know if Tyson has been given special instructions to not knock Jake out or given extra $$ to go the distance? I believe in the Roy Jones bout which I know was an expo match, Tyson was told to not head hunt and knock him out.
