Agreed....though it's no easy task - McGirt was a very complete boxer (and a very different style to, say, Mosley) and would have a decided speed...
It's the same thing as when we say "barring cuts..." PBF beats Nelson - that's what I understood. Not sure I AGREE, but that's what Double L...
You mean when they fought originally? Sure - but by that time, Chavez already had around 99 fights - and he had fought Martinez, Castillo,...
What a dumb argument - though I love you all. :jester: Double basically said that as long as his hands hold up, PBF wins. As far as I can...
I've never thought this fight would be as easy as the forum seems to think it would be every time it's brought up... I am a big Too Sharp fan,...
Ok....so assuming they did fight, what's your pick?
Jaws has it right...Monzon wins at least 10 rounds. Peace.
I thought Chagaev beat Ruiz relatively clearly. It's too soon to consider something like this, IMHO. Peace.
Great match-up. This is where I was netting out. Locche was brilliant...but he loved to pick his spots and generate just enough offense to...
This is the equivalent of a boxer "smiling" to show he's not hurt... SURRENDER! FOLD! GIVE!!! :sportif3: :jester:
Hagler....too iron-chinned, too technically sound, too much compact punching. I think Zale would be a sucker for Hagler's big straight left....
Ok, a serious go... Pea's punches were never the cutting kind. When Napoles hit his physical stride/prime (at 135+) around '63/'64, he was...
:2:
A thread like this should NOT be in Fightbeat...but most especially not in THIS forum. Out of place, and excessive to do this about ANY poster.
To me this one's clear.... "Corrales is down from a Black Mamba of a right hand! He gets up...wobbles a bit but his eyes look clear...in comes...
:rollllling: I thought long and hard about inserting that....but I meant it in the most accurate, best possible light.
That's reasonable, my brother....but... Plenty of folks thought he would win....but the fact is he was retired for 3 years...and against a top...
Yup...and DLH gets ALOT of credit for punches he really didn't quite land.
'Cause to truly decisively beat Trinidad took more than just a "jab and a little bit of movement..." It took strong, big men at higher weights...
Great post, Cdogg (welcome back!)....but I dunno about Ortiz-Brown - Old Bones was 36 or so by then and smaller (with less height/reach) than...
When was Casa ever at Feather? :nixweiss: Regardless, Pep was often over the weight too, so let's say 130 lbs... I think Casa's measured...
Basically agree...though it's close. Saddler's reach, straight punching and relentless aggression frustrate Sanchez into staying in the pocket...
I don't think he beats him with "talent" either. What Finito was most vulnerable too was a fighter who came forward, was stronger than him with...
He's got a better nick name.
Mmmm...I agree that the Hearns comparison/generalization isn't accurate, but would disagree that Duran-Trinidad PxP would play out like...
You have to be kidding me.
NAPOLES.
Tszyu. Absolutely no doubt in my mind. A faded, inactive, post-injury Tszyu was able to basically go tit-for-tat with the best version of...
Wait a minute, this is PxP, right? Both at their best...so I assume an optimal 135 lb. version of Duran vs. an optimal 147/154 lb. version of...
Ok, hold on. There is WAY too much smack talk on this thread. Either we become civil and make points and have a discussion without resorting...
