Agreed on the last line.
Yeesh.
He is, but that says nought. Literally. I am a very harsh marker of Michael at Heavy. He was small change.
Nah.
I think he'd lose a hundred out of a hundred, personally.
They were both very unconvincing HW champs, however.
Wills had a great run and certainly would have added to Dempsey's legacy, no dispute there, but Dempsey did attempt the bout, never ducked the...
You say that as though Dempsey were afraid of Wills.
Both times when Holyfield was washed-up, mind.
De La Hoya did sit down at times (usually, when Trinidad didnt expect it, like at the end of a combo), which is why he marked Trinidad up a fair...
Totally meaningless in regards to Johnsons induction.
He will be, because its a big photo-op and publicity circus for the Hall and the clowns who run it, ala Tyson and his oh-so-predictable instant...
Sparring? Get serious, Neil.
Whatever. The guys in, congrats.
Who would you say won the bout, Rock? Its not as though De La Hoya peaked as a 30-year-old 154lber, BTW. Mosley has this over-rated reputation...
I said Id seen four of his full fights, which is not a lot, Im happy to concede (more than zero, if you do your math), but I will state right now,...
More fantasy Neil. Dont address my counter-point, whatever you do. And AGAIN, my target here is induction today, not Johnson...so go easy on the,...
But I havent. Ive simply argued it happened sooner than you contend --- at least in some. Unless I mentioned anything about Corbett, Sullivan and...
Hut is, to answer your question.
Modern boxers have comparative failings I could talk about all day, Hut.
It amuses me to be the one on trial for bias when Im not the one wiping out whole eras.
Precisely the answer I was in search of. What can two people do but disagree, I suppose.
Its amazing that someone like Ray Arcel, amid many other respected, cross-era figures in the sport couldnt see what you can. Arcel's decades in...
I didnt clarify. To do so, I was talking about your presumption that me picking Dempsey meant Id also pick Tunney to beat Lewis. Dempsey and...
What can I tell you? I strongly disagree.
Why did that assumption stand, though? Youre telling me you made it on the back of me picking Dempsey, but what do they share in common other than...
Ive seen no other forum which posts such a high percentage of utterly pointless, no-brainer mythical match-ups. Tito knocks Dinamita into next...
That kind of argument is never, has never, will never be a criterion for HOF induction. Whether right or wrong, your point is utterly immaterial.
I missed it. You implying it was a Pacific Islander? If its the case that a Fob has swindled the Government out of $11,000,000 with some manner...
Because anyone who rates one guy from that era to beat a fighter must have an innate bias toward old-timers? Is that the subtext? There is a very...
Separate names with a comma.
