Exactly.
Eddie MM is a great example here. Missed out on greatness purely on laziness, certainly not from a lack of ability.
I think of Cotto as a really good fighter who fell short of being a great.
Jesus Christ. A whole prime wasted on bums. Postol as his defining win. It's always gonna be impossible to handicap Crawford's odds against the...
Probably loses to both. Hodkinson could crack, but he was very hittable and did not have the best chin.
Jorge Paez didn't impress me much. I think Yauqi was a better fighter.
Nav is definitely the best featherweight in the world. He'll have to move to 130 to get a test.
Unless you're calling Lausse a top 10 puncher in history (which he wasnt) then that statement is false. Jackson hit considerably harder. And yes,...
Jackson is a clear underdog against Gavilan, but he isn't completely without a chance. I dont care how good your chin is, if Julian can nail you,...
Berlanga still needs work, but going the distance is good for him. Nicholson was done at the end, so we see he can at least carry his power to the...
Vergil Ortiz has gotta be somewhere thinkin, "I gotta get the fuck outta here."
Best case, maybe we're looking at the next Tall Paul. But he's got a long way to go to prove he can be Tall Paul.
Based on the Gallimore fight, yeah, its possible he might make an impact. It remains to be seen though. Hes not like Ennis or Ortiz, where you...
Lopez would beat the Hell outta Canelo. He would do him just like he did Mike Rossman.
Yauqi Lopez is the Mexican light heavyweight GOAT.
"Do you have any compliments to offer besides saying I look like a Dodonis?"
This kid is a mental train wreck before he's even started.
Choco isn't nearly as skilled as mid 70s Duran, who had been become a masterful pressure fighter/boxer. I get it, you like Choco, but don't be...
Yeah, but McCallum was a lot more methodical and scientific than Basilio, which should play into Keed's hands. I just see Gavilan outfighting and...
When McCallum was at junior middle in 80s most weigh-ins were still same day. Its doubtful he was putting on 16 pounds same-day.
Well its certainly not an easy fight for Leonard, that's for sure. I would expect Ray to win a highly competitive, but ultimately deserved decision.
Gavilan would beat McCallum imo
I rewatched Margarito vs Antonio Diaz last night, aka the battle of Mosley's sons. Good scrap. Diaz gave a good account of him early, but...
This fight massively helps Spence's wallet and profile, but does nada for his legacy. If he wins big, as he will be expected to do, he just beat...
I won't be able to deny Pac anymore if he beats Spence. A legitimate win over Spence would push him into top 10 all time.
Spence wants 70-30 right now, and I think that's too much. 60-40 I can understand, but not 70-30. For NOW. If he destroys Pac, he crosses over as...
So who's next for Crawford? I bet its Whoesito Lopez. So disappointing. Disappointing because I like Bud. But what a let down of a career.
Well there goes Spence-Crawford forever. If Spence beats up Pac, which he probably will, then he'll officially be justified in demanding 60-40 or...
Now we know why Spence-Ugas hasn't been announced... its because a Spence-Pac fight is in advanced talks for July. Manny's retirement fight.
Paul gets stretched. He's just too hittable.
