Alright folks, 

As you might know I'm Tapology Boxing editor. I know the majority of you guys are here for MMA, so was I originally. But for the last year or 2 there is a little more interest in Boxing on the site. 

So here's a place to talk boxing.

@Cheese dunno, I'd have to think about it and probably wouldn't remember them anyway.

Also it's not really a thing worth researching, and I will absolutely not be doing that.

I guess your trying to really force the point but it just seems to fall flat. The subjective isn't objective, great, we're all very much aware but much like calling Ali the "Greatest Heavyweight" or Sugar Ray Robinson the GOAT it's just a matter of reasoned opinion through context and having a good grasp of boxing history. It's not unfounded to hold the fight in that high a regard.

Correct, it isn't. It's a good fight.I don't mind whether you or anyone else does. I wouldn't put it in my top 10, as is my right to exclude it from that regardless of what anyone else in the world thinks about it.

You know what is unfounded?

Spamming a bunch of links relating to the 'all-time-greatness' status of a boxing match as a means of validating one's own subjective opinion on a subjective issue in an effort to transmogrify it into a...what--quasi-fact? What trog-logic is that?

It's not a consensus issue, it isn't an empirical issue. I do not like the colour beige. If I am sent 1000 links to 1000 articles about why beige is better than blue, this does change the fact that neither beige nor blue is 'better'.

Why are you harping on and on about this for so long. 3 hours, I come back and you have written 3 short essays, that sure do make you sound smart, because I posted a couple of links.

Yes, of course whether you personally think that a fight is great or not is down to you! If you don't like it then good for you.

Also, yes, just because me and the majority of people involved in boxing, whether fans, journalists, fighters agree with me that Holyfield Qawi is one of the, if not the greatest Cruiserweight fight of all time, that doesn't make it fact. You, personally can think whatever you want.

Again, please shut the **** up about spamming links.

Holyfield vs. Qawi I

That was an amazing fight. Both guys digging deep. Incredible defense by Qawi in the 6th round. I love watching young cruiserweight Holyfield. He was unstoppable and won mostly by KO. Except on that night.

@Mikey I didn't say I don't like it. What I said is that it isn't one of the best fights of all time, and that if I had to pick a top 10, it wouldn't be in there. You chose to spam a bunch of links because you think they matter. They don't.

And you're still doing it. We've now moved on to 'appeal to consensus' which is predictably what you were always going to do, which is why I specifically addressed why it isn't a consensus issue in the previous post.

Great fight Casual!
I love watching James Toney fights/highlights.
An amazing fighter in the pocket. Stories about him turning up at the Kronk Gym and Wild Card on sparring days and sparring (fighting) everyone and anyone back to back while constantly talking trash!  Thats what made him so comfortable in the pocket and amazing at slipping, parrying and returning fire.

Great fighter.  I may post some links to a few articles!!!

@Mikey 95% of Tapology is just ****posting TBH. I don't know why you're under the impression that this site is some repository of invaluable knowledge and opinion. It's mostly a total ****show, albeit an entertaining one and a great way to waste time.

Also not getting the Mrs Mangle reference.

All I did was take 2 minutes out of my time to provide a little evidence to back up my opinion and you won't shut the **** up about it! You are trying to tell me what I meant!!

lol ok, but why try and back up that opinion with other people's opinions? They don't matter because it's subjective.

I don't even really understand why you'd even give a **** that I don't rate it as one of the best fights ever. Why even bother trying to back up your opinion at all?

I went into bit of a rabbit hole and found someone who claimed this fight is better than Holyfield vs Qawi
