Tiger looked fine against Benvenuti as I recall and was good for that win, been over a decade since I watched it though tbf. Benvenuti supposedly...
Aye, Foster in both regards imo. I'd agree that bombing out the old version of Tiger probably tops beating down the old Arguello in a competitive...
I think Gavilan is about a 50/50 shout tbh and I'd give Rodriguez a similar shout. Both very tough fights for Ray imo though he might be given the...
Wrong thread for the above post, should have been in the shortest primes thread ffs
Sugar Ramos's prime was from 62-64 and even throughout it he often left part of himself on the scales fighting to make weight. It's hard to tell...
I wouldn't say he gave Mayweather a hell of a fight. He was doing well early on and had some success but got figured out and dismantled handily in...
Locches rep has dipped quite a bit in recent years, he was lauded a few years ago when a wider audience became more aware of him, but he gets a...
Kingpetch for many years, decades even, had a reputation as a lower weight atg based mostly on inaccurate western reports being the primary source...
Wilde's a weird one. Taking into account his era, ruleset, equipment, quality of film, lack of size etc I think he looks great, albeit a bit...
Even if you discount Jofre, who was about two full levels above anyone Gonzalez has beaten, Harada beating Ebihara, Kingpetch, Medel, Rudkin,...
Jofre, Pedroza, Zapata, Chionoi all spring to mind.
Aye, cheers grey. Will definitely keep an eye out as I respect your opinion greatly.
Just having a massive gin and ice now watching the first Medel fight. Legend. RIP.
Fammo fairly clear. John can't outbox him and lacked the offensive sharpness and commitment to boss him.
Very sad news, he must have been knocking on for 90 though? Truly excellent little fighter, just a no-frills workmanlike, intelligent technician...
I agree with Slice and X, I'd favour Joe tbh. The mix of speed, workrate, versatility, intuitive smarts and awkwardness would match up fairly well...
I like Norris relatively easy tbh. Always thought that Oscar was a bit undersized and average at 154 and didn't carry the same whack despite...
But yeah the heavies have been generally diabolical for years and there isn't much light in sight. The cruiserweight limit and weight draining...
Reed worries me slightly.
Well I've fought it most of my adult life mate, so rightly or wrongly I think I'm in a better position than most to joke about it. I've got...
He was like the brother in There's Something About Mary when Ben Stiller touches his ears.
[MEDIA] Joshua after the fight
Speaking of Benn-McClellan, Ramos-Moore, Eubank-Watson etc, I remember the first and only time that I watched Pintor-Owen in its entirety and it...
Good mentions thus far. Holmes, Jofre and Gomez I'd add. Holmes was known for it. Jofre had a hard chin and great recuperative powers both,...
John Collins trying to use the post-Hagler Sibson as a stepping stone.
I agree with grey that it's not always clear what the term means, it seems to have different connotations for different folk. I tend to think...
Yeah, that was really smart and sharp by Dupas in that fight.
Colin Jones Henry Wharton Muangsurin Chionoi Kittikasem Fuji Petrolle Sorjaturong
With older fighters I'd throw Harada, Rose, Aoki, Sakurai, Mundine Sr, Shibata into the mix to different degrees. Sakurai and Aoki were both...
I did too with Napoles and Marv tbh, Hagler was a real shock and so was Whitaker.
