What's yalls thought of the pitch clock that's coming next year? As a traditionalist, at first I thought it sounded shitty, but the more im...
Thanks, Grey. He definitely has a name that sounds like that of a star. I'll be on the lookout.
Physically you figure Fury would be problematic for Joe. On talent, it's hard to say cause no one Fury has faced can tie Joe's shoes. I'm...
Good point! I wouldn't be surprised if Dempsey had an overall U.S. advantage as well. In NYC, I'm sure it's clearly Ruth. Outside of the NYC...
My statement actually prompted me to rewatch the Robinson-Graziano KO. Robby had WICKED handspeed. I don't think we give him enough credit for...
Ugo, I think that you put soooooo much emphasis on athlete evolution (and athletes haven't evolved allllllllllllll that much) and enhanced...
Last point, I don't know if "physical training" is the reason why Shane was faster than Napoles...
About Leonard-Robinson: Most the full footage we have of Robby is from his late 20s and throughout his 30s. I dont think theres a marked speed...
Barrera and Morales were NOT faster than Olivares. At all! Have you ever seen the Rose fight? Or any peak Olivares fights? He was far more...
Has Chandler a chance?
Agreed.
We need Muzse to respond to this thread and gives us a definitive answer. He was there.
Apparently Jack Dempsey was a niche athlete in the 20s. About as popular as Jermall Charlo is today...
Genius, I'm taking about the 1920s here... Neither the NFL nor the NBA existed at the time. Baseball, boxing, and horse racing were the three...
Boxing has ALWAYS been a niche sport? LMAOOOOO!!! Do you ever get tired of saying ignorant shit? Boxing was incredibly big in the 20s, and...
I'd like to see Shakur fuck up Tank the most. Obviously no shot in Hell of that fight happening.
In the roaring 20s, boxing and baseball were the two most popular sports (in the U.S. at least, not sure from a world perspective). Who was a...
It's impossible to know how Greb would do today. We know so little. I suspect that he wasn't quite as crude as what we see in that little clip,...
I think Roger presents Erik with big stylistic issues at all three weights. It's really only interesting at 130. Roger beats the Hell Morales at...
NBA is fucking horrible now. It truly is. The mid-to-late 2000s were incredible IMO. You had Bron, Kobe, and Wade all at the peak of their...
Gary Russell had fast hands, and power. I think people get a bit too enamored by it. He was talented, don't get me wrong, but it's not like he was...
Well hopefully it happens in 2023 so you can eat your words. I'm confident you will. I'm not even saying a Loma victory isn't possible, but he's...
I'll be fair to Loma and say that he might have had his defining win over Davis, but you can't fault him for that one not happening. He wanted...
In fairness, I always called Loma overrated. At 130, his fanbase was saying that Loma beats Floyd, Chavez, and Arguello. I don't think Loma is...
Haney has twice beaten the fuck outta Teo's daddy. Teo has proving to do. He has physical talent and power that Haney doesn't have, but I...
The pass that Loma gets for the Teo loss is unbelievable.
Lol. Gary Russell is a sham. Haney's better. Moreover, that was 8-9 fuckin years ago, against a much smaller man.
Basketball is the only sport I can think of where there's been truly an astronomical jump in skill level since the 80s/90s.
Great post.
