Pep Attell McGovern Kilbane Sanchez Dixon Saldivar Driscoll Saddler Casanova Arizmendi Dundee There’s 12. Guys like Armstrong, Pacquiao, Miller,...
Manuel Ortiz was Mexican-American. Doesn’t really count.
I’m surprised people don’t ever mention Kid McCoy on these lists anymore. Tommy Ryan still seems to get ink, albeit more often as a Welterweight....
4 wins over Jock Malone as well. If he’s overrated it would be at any particular weight class rather than pound for pound, in my opinion. What...
Duran Monzon Napoles Gavilán Jofre Ortiz Rodriguez Chavez Arguello Sanchez 3-9 are so close, though.
Woah woah woah! That’s why you’d have it closer than most. I don’t think Davila was any better than Ruben Castillo. At their respective bests,...
Honestly, from his title winning mugging of Alan Minter to the aforementioned whooping he gave Scypion in his 7th defense, there’s really nothing...
I’d favor Nunn as well, but I think Jackson has a pretty solid chance of knocking him out. A lot more so than you guys. He wasn’t Eugene Hart. He...
When I get into a Hagler marathon it becomes hard to imagine anyone ever being truly better.
Would be an amazing action fight. I would have to favor Gonzalez, though. It’s hard to favor Johnson when his style plays right into Chocolatito’s...
Roman was more proven than any other Super Flyweight, which is probably why he gets rated so highly. I do agree that he might not be as great head...
Was Jito really much bigger? He was 26 years old by the time he won the title, and he never weighed more than 115 in any non-title fight...
Tapia would beat the piss outta Inoue.
I don’t disagree with any of what Tin said. Getting matadored by Ruenrong and losing at his own game to the much older Nietes at different stages...
Reveco rematch, maybe.
Been a fan for years. Clean, surgical inside fighter with a crisp left hook downstairs. Love watching him work.
Well, that has nothing whatsoever to do with this fight, but OK. Benitez was a newly minted 19 year old and fighting in his first fight as an...
McCallum fought maybe 3 guys you could call defensive/counter-punching stylists in his prime. Kalambay, Toney, and Graham. He did just enough to...
Zapata/Laciar is one of my least favorite fights ever.
Fair enough, ol’ boy!
I don’t think Duran’s training had much to do with the Hearns result.
Nah, but that would’ve been a very good fight at the time. I’d probably favor McCallum to outpoint him in a close one. The further down the line...
He was actually Duran’s mandatory in early’ 84. Duran shamelessly ducked the no name challenger to fight the superstar Tommy Hearns in a far more...
How about Nietes?
The one man being completely overlooked is Freddie Miller.
He’s one of my blind spots. I didn’t think the Gonzalez fight was representative of a prime version, but it did say a lot about him in the power,...
Nelson more versatile McCallum more consistent Nelson more physically talented McCallum more fundamentally sound Nelson takes it by virtue of...
Confession. Only ever seen the Gonzalez come from behind KO. As far as come from behind KOs go, it was one for the books.
Recently? I don’t believe so. At some point in the distant past? Probably.
