Best pure boxing clinics of all time

Is Magee vs Neary worth watching?

Only Neary fight I ever saw was obviously the war he lost to Ward.

 

Yeah but he beat up Steven Smith!!!!

 

Neary was never in a bad fight which is probably the worst compliment you can ever pay a boxer

 

Not really to be honest, it was nowhere near as good as the Ward fight. Neary should have won but he was only winning the rounds because Magee wasn't doing anything.

 

That's why I find it hard to handicap a mythical matchup between Hatton and Josh Taylor. Because Ricky wasn't too good against southpaws.

 

Magee had his legs broken BY THE IRA. Makes me laugh at that phony tough guy McGregor. Magree truly gave ZERO FUCKS for any body or any gang. He'd have retired Connor in 4 rounds... Any rules.

 

If you can drop and rock a prime Hatton, then yeah, you're gonna lay waste to Connor.

 

What I meant was by talent. If there was no Floyd and Hopkins and Winky beat Vargas, Oscar, Tito... He'd be massive.

 

No kids know Magee. They know Ham and Egger McGregor. Outrage!! Magee would pull that stupid tattoo off Connor and shove it up his arse.

 

Gotcha.

DLH wanted no parts of Wright. I think he knew damn well that Wright was the WRONG style for him.

 

I like the idea of Steve Collins vs McGregor more.

 

Yeah Magee was right in the thick of it with that stuff. He had this big scar on his neck where he'd been stabbed and nearly died, I think his son was murdered too.

 

And to think....Oscars a converted lefty. He never had a right hand.

 

I think Wright would have won but Oscar would have done a lot better than Tito.

 

Agreed. He'd win his share of rounds but wouldn't be able to sustain any success. By the time that fight was viable Winky's punch resistance and defense improved a lot from the time he faced guys like Julio Cesar Vazquez. Oscar would have a lot of difficulty penetrating the guard and didn't quite have enough power to really hurt Wright outside some one in a hundred perfectly executed left hook.

You add in the southpaw factor and it's just a long day at the office for De La Hoya. It wasn't high risk, low reward. More like high risk no reward.

 

Wright-Trinidad is a different fight if Tito is 5-6 years younger.

That sloth in there with Wright that night was a shell of the 90s Tito.

 

Magee’s life is crazy. He’s almost been killed several times.

Streetfighting man

 

Honestly I don't think Tito could handle good clever fighters. Tito was World Class when it came to knowing out shorter defense-deficient bums like Zulu or Mamby or Joppy. Tito might win but he'd win in the Vargas style,by moving his hands and *pressuring" Winky.

 

Jesus wept. And then you get a guy like Tall Paul that falls off a bike and is in a chair for life.

 

Spadafora vs. Cardona.

 

Ken Buchanan put on a beautiful boxing clinic against Ruben Navarro. That fight is on YouTube.

 

African-Americans have a leg up genetically speaking due to slavery.

 

So they owe reparations to other non African-American fighters?

 

Toney barkley was a hell of a clinic

 

And Toney vs Charles Williams.

 

An old school one:

 

Has anyone mentioned Tippy Larkin's victory over Billy Graham yet? Well, now I have!

 

Where is @roughdiamond???

 

Zoo vs MAG.

That was supposed to be a close fight.
