I think Chandler's advantages in speed and height would be deciding factors in an otherwise evenly matched fight. Chandler also proved himself...
I disagree, I don't think there are many bantams throughout history that could reliably be expected to withstand a pre-Zarate Zamora's firepower...
Yes.
Another consideration for the '60s might be the real-life killers portrayed in "In Cold Blood," which was one of the first times real-life killers...
His resume isn't the deepest, but Martinez and Davila are still quality wins, and Zamora is one of the single biggest wins ever scored in the...
What's such a "stretch" about that? Didn't you say earlier that you consider Zarate "a lock for top five"?
Even without a big right hand, I would expect DLH to have too much all-around talent for Tszyu.
IMO, Olivares was slowing down at the time of the Kanazawa rematch, but he may have still had enough firepower left to beat Pintor on points....
IMO, Zarate was one of those fighters who was ideally suited to dominate a single weight class, but couldn't carry the same success up to a higher...
That sorta touches on how I feel about this. I think Zarate was better as a bantam than Tito was at any single weight class he fought in, but...
No one would deny that young Foreman was a flawed fighter, but that doesn't automatically make him worse than fighters who don't share those...
I think that was Tim Ryan - he also described Hagler's head as "the dome." :Jest:
I'd favor Armstrong as well - I think he's too strong for Chavez on the inside (given that he could outmuscle fighters that weighed as much as...
IMO, this is a case of one fighter being more well-rounded (Napoles) vs. another who is superior in particular areas (Ali) - neither of which...
Here's footage of him in what was considered one of his best career performance vs. Pedro Montanez. Montanez was actually favored to take away...
The ref was the one who beat him that night. Anyway, I'd take Pac on points. I don't think Ambers did any one thing exceptionally well enough to...
Burley was only around 20 years old when he first broke into the WW rankings, meaning he almost certainly hadn't yet reached physical maturity at...
Pac is a tier above Marquez for the simple fact that Pac has a legit argument for being rated among the all-time top 10 P4P, while Marquez not so...
DeJesus is a tough fighter to accurately assess IMO. It's easy to think that a fighter who beats TBE at a particular weight must be capable of...
But how strong (or seasoned, for that matter) would Burley have been if we use the version that was actually contending for a WW title shot circa...
Whitaker seems to have been sitting down more on his punches and punching harder circa '95, but I think he was losing some of his elusiveness by...
I think it's worth noting that McCallum (under Lou Duva's guidance) was much more aggressive than he was up at 160 (under Eddie Futch) and would...
Above 147, Duran could still look good against fighters that stood toe-to-toe with him (i.e.: Cuevas, Moore), but he struggled much more with...
I don't think Mosley has the defense or infighting skill to beat Duran.
Round 12 of Martinez-Chavez Jr.
I don't entirely agree with the old axiom of "Duran does everything better than Chavez." I think Chavez's technique is a bit more polished than...
I think Duran was too economical at this stage of his career and lacked the workrate/intensity needed to beat Wright. Given Duran's struggles...
[MEDIA]
Has anyone ever told DC that it might be a good idea to release the good versions of their movies in theatres?
The one LW I've always felt could've possibly been an ideal foil for Duran was Williams. He's the only LW I give at least a 50-50 shot vs. Duran.
