On top of the fact that Ike never proved he could beat a Bowe-level HW, I also don't see where he has any clear stylistic advantages in this fight.
Antuofermo's conqueror meets Antuofermo's conquered. Who wins?
Tough to call. I can see how Johnson's speed and southpaw technique could be a nightmare for Tapia, but I also wouldn't rule out that Tapia finds...
I disagree with the consensus. I think Pac has too much all-around speed and skill and Corrales is much too hittable.
Arguello became noticeably slower and stiffer with each weight class that he moved up above 130. He still had power at 140, but I think his heavy...
I think both fighters peaked at 130-ish. Pac hit his peak in the 3rd Morales fight IMO, and Armstrong was typically fighting a few pounds north...
I agree, I think Campas gets the same treatment as Berto.
Each from his respective fights with Canzoneri. Will it be the slick boxing and mobility of Chocolate or the furious infighting of Ross? [MEDIA]...
Most people will probably pick Michael, but I always wondered how he would fare against a naturally bigger fighter who could swarm and crowd him...
I always felt Mosley really drained himself to get down to 135. He was much stronger at 147 IMO, while still retaining the same speed....
Shavers might rock and/or drop Frazier early, but Frazier should stop him sometime after that. Frazier's toughness seems to get seriously...
I think Hop would find a way to make this an ugly, mauling affair that smothers Kalambay's boxing skill.
Even at his "best," Baer was still outworked for long stretches on the inside by Schmeling, and also showed lapses in effort against Carnera....
I'd favor Kalambay to outbox and outmaneuver Valdez to a decision, especially since Valdez has lost several fights in that manner.
Neither... but Baer's chin proves far superior. Johansson's movement and trickery might get him some early points, but Baer steps it up at some...
That would probably be my pick as well. Conn may have a better overall resume, but I think Foster is just a stylistic nightmare for him.
Walcott might have some early success and perhaps score a KD, but I don't see him holding off Frazier for very long. I think Frazier closes the...
I think DLH was more impressive at 135 than Mosley. Mosley sometimes seemed to me like he was a bit lacking in physical strength at the weight....
Rams just blew a game with the Jets and their division lead along with it.
I think Mancini outhustles Guts in a similar manner as he did JL Ramirez.
Benitez would force DeJesus to take the lead, which he was less comfortable doing than counterpunching. On top of that, DeJesus was never able to...
Tunney was faster than Sharkey and more well-rounded than Schmeling. He beats them both on points IMO.
The former.
What weight class would this be?
Atlanta blew a 4th quarter lead against Brady once again. :Jest:
NE has been officially eliminated from the playoffs. :duck::Dan1::Elmo::Jack::lol1:
Manfredy was a good technician with decent all-around speed, but as mentioned above, his chin sometimes let him down. I think he might give...
7 years later, is Vargas still the forum's consensus favorite?
Thanks for the analysis. I typically have Gavilan winning by about a 3-round margin whenever I watch it, i.e.: 9-6, 8-5-2, etc. IMO, Gavilan...
It bothers me that this fight never happened. Along with Frazier-Norton, this was one of the great late 60s/early 70s HW matchups that seemed...
