Saunders looked like Michael Nunn on amphetamines in that fight.
There's an old adage in boxing: "You never know how good an undefeated fighter really is." Saunders finally has the fight he claims he's been...
Leonard has some of the biggest individual wins in the history of the sport, but I think his lack of longevity and activity over the second half...
Many people here might consider this a no-brainer for both as they probably have Leonard rated higher all-time than I do (I think he's in the top...
Marciano IMO. Although his best scalps were "aging" HoFers, Rocky beat ones that were still actively competing (and winning) at the top level (in...

Exactly how I see it. The only two fighters who beat Tszyu did so by taking the fight to him and letting their hands fly. A counterpuncher who...
Olivares.
I'd favor Hoya at 140, but I think Cotto could be a tougher fight for him at 147-154.
The fighter I was thinking of here was Henry "Snow" Flakes, who scored wins over HW contenders Pat Comiskey and Lee Oma in 1948 may have briefly...
I'm pretty sure I came across (purely by chance) the name of a HW fighter from the '40s who ended up on death row and was executed. Anthony...
This would be my pick for #1: [MEDIA]
Scratch that, I forgot they peaked at different weight classes. IDK if the McGuigan that campaigned at 130 post-Cruz still had enough left to...
I think the biggest issue for Foster's legacy is that he lacks a singularly defining win (or two) like Pryor had. Outside of that, Foster is at...
I think "Vicious Victor" is the best Ortiz alive today.
Napoles is the epitome of a rhythm fighter IMO. How about Chavez? His movements were more subtle, but I think he qualifies.
I think Gonzalez-Sorjaturong is the best Jr. Fly fight.
I've always believed the same.
IDK that Mitchell has enough firepower to outfight McGuigan at close quarters. I'd probably favor Battling Barry on points.
Technically, he did box for the whole of the Zamora fight. :D
As I recall, he started off his title reign as more of a conventional standup boxer/slickster and then gradually transitioned to a rough and ugly...
Could Mazzinghi have withstood Jackson's bombs and put some hurt on him, or does The Hawk simply have too much firepower?
IMO, 1. Duran 2. Pac 3. Holy 4. Leonard 5. Spinks
Who gets the coke, though?
Greb seemingly crammed an entire career into just the year 1919. He fought an incredible 45 times that year - 5 more fights than Ray Leonard had...
What makes you say that? :Dont: [IMG]
30 seconds in: :Jest: [MEDIA]
Presumably to drive to G's house for the negotiations, of course.
I think Tiger's fight with Hank is a good indicator of how he would've dealt with Toney's bobbing/weaving style of defense. [MEDIA]
