This is a skill that tends to slip under the radar, IMO. And one which seems to be in decline as more fighters settle for the more demonstrative...
Love him or loath him, and I know what side most of us come down on there, that's two terrific wins on the bounce, and it's always seemed like 140...

How does the faded but not yet shot Oscar of 2007 fare against the man who beat Winky Wright/lost to Pernel.
P4P (poll coming)
This is kinda a slight modification of Sly's thread. Can we name fights where the inferior guy with just a 'punchers chance' won. Preferably...
Leaving aside accomplishments & going just with your eyes and your opinions who do you think are the 5 best fighters in the sport today? For me...
Excluding Gavilan, all of Ray's most significant opponents were white. Is this a coincidence or were there good black guys around during this...
Best jab ever lists are always dominated by heavyweights. Lets exclude them. Ok.......go.:crafty:
Right, I think we should all be resigned to this not happening. What do you think would have happened? I've went back and forward on it, but...
Please remember to get your picks in the prediction thread before tomorrow night, guys....
Single worst thread title ever? :lol: Thanks. Can we list fights where we think the scoring in the rematch may have been effected by the (in...
Can anyone think of any MMs where they think a guy considered far inferior would greatly trouble a great fighter? Like my opinion on Machen-Ali,...
I personally like Machen's counter punching & patience to give Ali a really shitty night here. The big man was never comfortable leading the dance...
I'm usually pretty skeptical about 'new lifts', but I came across one in a Westside Barbell article last week which fucking rules! :hammert:...
Chaps, come and join the prediction league, please. I'll be keeping it up for the full year, winner gets crowned 2011 Fightbeat Champion of the...

Is it fair to say that the abandonment of 15 rounders has led to a steep increase in the number of inconclusive and unsatisfactory outcomes in big...
Sorry, not much of a thread, I'm purely curious to gauge perception here. Just stick your vote in please. Any further comment/analysis is gravy.
You know what - of all the guys mentioned so far including Tszyu I think Hatton would have had the most straightforward time with Khan. Hatton...
Happens?
35 year old Azumah Nelson vs 37 year old Marquez. Who was better - who wins?
I didn't get to see Williams-Martinez live so I won't vote. But I remember thinking for a second Hatton was fucking dead when I watched that live.
In terms of peak ability Joshua Clottey Marlon Starling Ike Quartey Oba Carr Derel Coley Ricardo Mayorga Colin Jones Wilfredo Rivera Buddy McGirt...
I'll confess I've always been one of these reflexive Marciano aristarches, weighting for just how eager America is promote it's great white hopes,...
Had Pernel Whitaker been born with Hearns type power, and Hearns with a Hagler type chin...... Which man would have been the best fighter ever?...
