Agreed. Mayweather-Cotto is by far #1 on my list of fights I want to see. Floyd will fight the winner of Cotto-DLH since that's where the...
Cotto, but the fight won't be @ 147 anyway.
I just watched the Quartey-De La Hoya fight, very closely. Originally I scored it 114-113 for Quartey. This time, I watched it extremely...
Just more talk. I expect Cotto and DLH to fight in May, and Mayweather to fight the winner.
Tarver is the one who did jack shit in that fight. After a good first two rounds for Tarver, Roy got most of the next 4 rounds to take place at...
Jones won that fairly. I highly question how anyone can objectively have Tarver winning that fight.
:laughing: at the Lennox Lewis description.
Maybe Roy will be really weakened by fighting at a weight lower than he's been at since 1996.
Yeah, he talked about winning tournaments when he was in middle school and taking his trophies to school later on. He said he became bored with...
Good post. Regarding the last paragraph, that was Nigel Collins (whom lists both Holyfield and Tyson among his favorite recent fighters). He...
Yeah, I see it the same way. I think pretty highly of Pryor in talent/ability and in terms of how well I think he'd do head-to-head against a...
Agreed.
IMO, De La Hoya should have losses to: Quartey Mosley (first fight) Sturm Hopkins Mayweather And coming up, hopefully, Cotto.
Hasim Rahman started boxing at age twenty.
I think Marciano was in his late teens or early twenties. I'll have to go check that one again.
He didn't start that old, but he went back to boxing when he was in prison.
Rocky Marciano
I felt Kassim Ouma was chinny...I was surprised he took so many flush shots from Jermaine Taylor.
Yeah, the more I learn about Liston, the higher I think of him as a fighter.
Michael Bennett?
You listed nine, I was asking who your #10 HW was.
Who's your #10?
Tunney looked aware though. I remember a pretty honest quote from him saying something like: "I could've gotten up (if the count wasn't slow),...
Floyd Patterson
It's definitely worth the read.
At least 2007 had solid candidates (Pavlik, Cotto, Mayweather) with good years, as opposed to 2006. 2006's winner: Manny Pacquiao: a guy...
Kelly Pavlik is my choice for Fighter of the Year.
De La Hoya and Quartey shared a very similar rhythm for most of their fight. Jab, stare, jab, stare, stare, jab, stare.
Floyd: Outboxes Cintron, being more defensive, winning a wide UD, or maybe stops him late. Wins a boring UD against Margarito. Outboxes...
