We’re in agreement there.
Roman made the most of his skills and abilities. Lora didn’t. It’s still close, because of the talent gap, but I’d rate Roman higher.all time....
I don’t really think there is a different class than Chavez showed in his brief Lightweight run. Let’s not overrate Napoles. He was human and had...
You can typically just see that with the way a fighter throws and lands. It’s not imperceptible. Nothing about Lopez suggested a heavy handed...
They were very good fights. They were both up on YouTube a few years ago. Chuvatana was essentially a southpaw Sahaprom, but less refined. He...
Roldan? I dunno, though. He could look monstrous in some fights, like he did against Kinchen. Never technically, mind you, but there was no...
Lopez is the most puzzling puncher ever for me. I cannot, for the life of me, understand where the power came from. Wasn’t hard to see from Zamora...
Chavez by a nose in both regards.
1. Carlos Ortiz 2. Wilfredo Gomez 3. Wilfred Benitez 4. Felix Trinidad 5. Pedro Montanez 6. Cocoa Kid 7. Hector Camacho 8. Jose Basora 9....
Anyways: 1. Roberto Duran 2. Laguna/Marcel 4. Panama Al Brown 5. Eusebio Pedroza Depending on how you scored certain fights or rate certain...
And the fact that he lost to most of the better fighters he faced.
Johnson fought out of his “comfort zone” just as often as Tapia, honestly. Hard to even call it that, in fact. I can easily name more brawls and...
Do you think a prime Roman would’ve beaten a prime Konadu? I don’t. Konadu just had the misfortune of coming across the one guy that was his...
Griffith is likely just a bad matchup for Duran full stop. Even at Welter. The main reason being his strength in a tie up. Duran would be...
What exactly is his distinction between hand speed and quickness? Gary Russell has extremely fast hands but nothing else that stands out as...
What do you mean by “here” in your post? This forum?
Seems like we’re seeing two different things, honestly. You call it a duck. I just call it logic. Johnson wasn’t a draw. That was the truth. Tapia...
I’m aware of that. Just don’t know why it’s taken seriously when Johnson didn’t even move up in weight until over a year later. If he wanted the...
Never heard that. When was this? I’m just struggling to understand when the fight was supposed to have taken place. Too Sharp didn’t even move up...
Any proof Tapia avoided this fight? Hell, not even proof, just something other than hearsay. Genuinely curious. I have no strong opinion on this...
I sure can’t see it. I’d favor Zapata over Canto, and Calderon was a poor man’s version, albeit a southpaw.
Some guys are underrated on one forum or one circle but not another. Some by the casuals but not the die hards. The only guys that I can safely...
Roman definitely didn’t have better defensive reflexes. He remained defensively responsible at all times, which Tapia absolutely did not do. No...
Ayyyyyy!
I can understand people disliking Tapia. You might have found him annoying, but I assure you he wasn’t putting on some act. That’s just how he...
