Agreed. Spence is a physical talent but has probably squandered some of his abilities. Bud is also getting up in age, but his style is more...
The very next fight
Yeah, I'd "definitely" rank Lennox over Toney in that regard. I believe boxing is the lone sport where you can make a legit case that nobody...
But I believe boxing works the same way. "Lesser" amount of achievement can surpass a longer reign because of the influence that you mention....
There's a plausible logic there, but also a problem. There have been plans to change the World Cup so that it is played every second year,...
This is where it gets tricky. Borg was a marvelously talented athlete and as such comparable to anyone today. However, his skills worked so well...
I do get the point, we just approach it bit differently. In hockey we can look at Connor McDavid's skills and agree that he looks simply...
This phenomenon is definitely true, and you both make some excellent points when speculating the reasons behind it. As most know, my conclusions...
Lopez by UD 116-111, 117-110 and 115-112
Yep. What evens the scale a little bit is that 200th ranked tennis player is an actual pro whereas the 200th fighter is probably a post officer...
Such game was actually played it tennis. Serena and Venus played a set apiece against a scrub whose ranking was 200+
The situation in women's boxing is still that the best talent is in the Olympics. The biggest publicity and thus the biggest money is there. When...
Leonard wins, but of course it has a lot to do with him being bigger. Who was better, Floyd at 130 or Leonard at 147 is a very legit debate. Imo,...
I must again take the opposite view. Holmes would have his hands full with Fury, and so would Ali. Holmes had trouble with guys like Berbick,...
Not casuals, but highly annoying and extremely dumb are those pseudo-experts who always pick the surprise result. I know a coach who was...
Mercer looked like a good fighter but he very rarely actually won. Both at their bests, Tua by decision
Very good fight between a talented kid and an aging technician. Close but just decision
A guy fighting two classes above his best weight, at 35, against The Ring champ, is in a close fight. WHAT A FRAUD
People should bash each other's faces politely
Relax. It was an obvious joke. I don't see this thread as a serious debate-stirrer
Calzaghe should just enter the ring weighing 205 lbs and Foster would be helpless
Considering how well Barkley did, Pavlik does have a shot
Back in '08 Loma fought as an amateur in featherweight and absolutely blitzed his opposition. In '12 he had switched up in weight and mainly...
Holyfield vs Moorer
Although Tank obviously hasn't shown any such capabilities so far, I find it quite normal that fanboys overhype their favorite. Without such fans...
Well that's good, because it's the correct one
I'd take Byrd. Sanders was dangerous if he could counter, but Byrd would never attack. As an offensive force Sanders wasn't all that, his left...
Jimmy Young was 35-18-3 when he retired and 17-4-2 when he fought Ali Mike Weaver was 19-8 when he fought Holmes Maurice Harris ended with...
Garcia TKO10 I'll pull a Ron Borges and pick the unlikely upset just to appear insightful if it does happen
Canelo turned out to be better, but at 154 he was still developing and thus Norris would be the favorite
