Good post mate. I'd like to add, that while I don't think Robinson is the best fighter ever - tied for second on my list, with Duran at number one...
I completely agree if we're talking about power, speed and style. Robinson would supposedly go out in a blitzkrieg of aggression, and destroy his...
Any particular reason why you separate Greb from the others? Particularly Tunney, whom reporters at the time seemed to think he was about 2-1-1...
Michael Spinks Harry Greb Bob Foster Gene Tunney How does he do, if both men are at their best for each fight?

How does this weird style clash play out?
I'd say Chang was better, bigger and greater. I see no reason to pick Lopez, to be frank. Unless you're thinking he'll walk Chang onto enough big...
I really like the fight, I pick Laguna. DeJesus was a brilliant technician, and quite cagey with his set-up for the left hook. I think the...
