I'd probably agree if it's the circa 2016 Loma at 135. Prime Johnston would beat today's Loma.
No one for this one? I think this is an excellent matchup.
If Manny's in his corner, I would still take Gerald by stoppage. Manny understood VERY WELL how to train tall, rangy punchers to blast the shit...
Starling wasn't good enough to beat Floyd. Push him? Yes. Actually beat him? I don't think Marlon was quite good enough. Leonard, Duran, Hearns,...
Sonny, Mike, and George will forever be linked because they were the 3 most intimidating heavyweights in history. People will always, always...
I think Valero would beat a Juan Diaz or Brandon Rios level lightweight, but that's about it. If he were around today, he could beat Cruz, Bozos,...
Prime Hatton would destroy Valero inside of 5, and I'm not even super high on Hatton. It would have been a rape. Even the washed up Tszyu of 05...
There's a better chance of Whitaker stopping Hatton than Valero stopping Casamayor.
I think Jones-Toney is among the top 5-10 best performances OAT.
Of course Ricky doesn't have a prayer in Hell at winning. My question is, does Hatton last the distance? I think Whitaker could possibly walk him...
Tank will be in prison in 10 years having never fought any top fighter.
Lmaoooo! Yeaaaaa okay! I'll believe this fight when I see it. Ryan ain't gonna fight no Regis.
It just occurred to me that Perkins' style was a lot like Buddy McGirt's. Or more accurately, McGirt's style was a lot like Perkins'. Buddy I...
If you know me as a poster for a long time, then you'd know Cervantes is one of my all time favorite fighters. I think very very highly of his...
Ken Buchanan had an awesome jab.
Speaking of 140 Champs, Cervantes had an all time great jab as well.
Anytime I watch old fights (circa 50s and 60s) it strikes me how much the art of jabbing has been lost. The jab is primarily used as a range...
Perkins was a beautiful technician and I wish there was more footage of him.
Valero lucked out. He should have gone psycho one fight later after he got exposed. Remember, Valero vs Bradley was a done deal at the time Valero...
His low quality of opponents...
Gym legends don't mean anything. Ayala Jr. was supposedly beating the shit outta Pipino Cuevas in the gym as a teen, but it doesn't matter because...
That makes no sense considering that Frietas was a bigger hitter than Valero at 130. It's perplexing what you see in him. He had zero defense, a...
I rewatched Valero vs Mosquera. Always love this fight, such a war. Having said that, Valero really was shit. I have no clue what you see in him....
Jerry got a prayer? Or would it be ugly?
lol
This is true, and again, I doubt the kid can win. But the fact remains, IF he wins, Golden Boy should control the rematch.
Who wins? I think Casa would have taken that pretender apart.
Ryan's like 5 years younger than Tank. We're talking about a guy in Tank who OPENLY admitted in an interview that he ducked Loma. I'm sure he did...
Martinez have any chance?
I rewatched Casamayor vs Jon Kwon Baek this morning. Random fight, I know. I hadn't watched it since I recorded it on VHS on Fox Sports 23 years...
Separate names with a comma.
