I think that he was better overall, on an all time ranking.
Barkley's best shot is at 160. He was younger and fresher at the weight and, at 160, Canelo hadn't peaked.
The perfect example of this actually happened when Hearns knocked out Duran. Duran was the better fighter but he would never beat Hearns. He...
He was recuperating in Hawaii for about 10 days or so.
Is there anything of Benny Leonard beyond the 20 odd minutes of the Tendler fight?
Boxing is in a sorry state these days, skills-wise. That's why the casual observers can't distinguish the difference between a real pro fighter...
The perfect guy for Billy Conn would be Chris Arreola. He is not smart enough to trap Conn, he is too slow to catch him and, after 3 rounds of...
It might be that the guy to make Ezzard Charles look outstanding is Archie Moore.
My understanding is that he has had issues with anxiety and depression going back to his childhood.
You don't wrap the hand with tape. The tape is used in strategic places to hold the gauze. Some places limit the amount of gauze, Montreal did at...
This is a fight that would go to one extreme or the other. Either Cuevas would walk through McGirt early or Buddy would give him a boxing lesson....
As I recall the dispute over wraps before the Hopkins fight had to do with the amount of tape used, and that New York has a limit of 24 inches of...
I thought that Haugen won the first two fights with Pazienza and that the second fight was a brilliant performance. Of particular interest to me...
Or maybe Vargas laid a lazy jab out there before he got into the fight and got hit on the chin by a guy that was warmed up thoroughly and Vargas...
I have to go with the LA guy.
Their first fight was one of the most disappointing that I have ever seen.
At least in LA he was considered to be a very good boxer with a lot of skill. For myself, if I am looking for an example of a quality fighter just...
I saw the first fight and thought Borboa won, some place or another I have it recorded on a VHS tape. The Forum was unique in how often close...
I was at that fight.
I don't think that Norton was all that good, even though he was my favorite heavyweight in the 1970s.
That is very true. I don't believe that it would be possible, in any other division, to have your first amateur fight in January of 1967 and win...
The boxer is 47 according to Wikipedia.
Quartey was better against fighters that came to him. The way he leaned up on his left jab made it hard for him to move. But,if you come to him,...
On his record I noticed that he fought both Pat O'Connor and Rafael Rodriguez in Minneapolis. One of my closest friends was, I am certain, at both...
I was a big fan of Lopez and, in theory, he should beat Margarito decisively. But if you were a fan of Lopez, you know that it is entirely...
Not being stopped, other than on cuts, in all those fights doesn't have much to do with your chin, because your capacity to take a punch fades...
He looks to have physical ability and he doesn't suck but he doesn't know how to fight.
One of the things that I learned studying Zarate years ago...in his early fights in Mexico, they always commented on how few punches he threw,...
That's sad because I think Juan owns a gym.
They were both tall for their weights. Zarate beat at least one tall bantam but that guy didn't have the power of Trinidad and didn't box any...
