I think Johnson would almost be tailor made for Qawi.
Kid Gavilan vs. Emile Griffith would seem destined for an SD. Basilio vs. Benitez IMO, due to the stark contrast in styles.
Not an easy one to pick. If I have to choose, I think the intelligent pressure and punch variety of Basilio enables him to get a close decision.
That's a really good prediction.
The key for Nino would be to get off first and keep Tito on the defensive. He wasn't necessarily a slick defensive master or a "runner" - he was...
Who wins between perhaps the two unlikeliest lineal WW champs in history?
Campas might provide a rocky moment or two, but overall I think Thurman outboxes him and Campas likely retires on his stool as he was wont to do.
Tough to call on that one too. It would be a case of a more well-rounded fighter (Ortiz) facing a fighter who is better specialized in a...
I can understand the argument for Pryor, as he would probably be the most dynamic fighter Ortiz ever faced. However, I'd also argue that the...
Who wins?
Canelo should overpower Johnson fairly easily at 160 and perhaps slightly less easily at 168. 175 is where it could potentially become interesting.
Johnson didn't have his physical strength or even as much power down at 160. Tito should dominate en route to a mid- or late-round stoppage.
As strange as it seems, I think Mayorga wins it on points, with his footspeed being a deciding factor. I think he piles up points with his...
I think O'Grady would win it with his height, range, and heavier punching.
Lopez isn't slick or defensive enough to outbox Corrales, and he's not the kind of bomber who would have a chance to take him out first. Just a...
What's wrong with not looking like Tyson against quality fighters? And Canelo is rated one of the best P4P fighters in the world today and has...
So you didn't see the 3rd Tarver fight then, or are you arguing that that was anything other than a flagrant dive? I never said I made Kova the...
I think if Hamed doesn't take out Lockridge with a homerun shot, Lock outworks and outskills him to a decision.
How do Duran and Barkley compare with each other, and which had more success against Hearns?
Not at all, G and Roy are almost polar opposites - they're not going to match up against Hearns the same way.
Nonsense, you can find every bit as much a basis to question Roy's toughness or heart as you could Kova's.
If G makes use of his jab and boxing skills like he did against Lemieux, he may be able to win a decision IMO.
If Roy can find a way to control the fight without exposing himself to danger, then he wins. But I wouldn't have confidence in his ability to do...
Pac by stoppage IMO. He has better all-around speed and his southpaw stance likely nullifies Curry's best weapon (the hook).
I wouldn't expect G to do a Hagler and swarm Hearns, nor do I think he walks face-first through his punches and Barkley's him, but I do think he...
Foster is a H2H threat against anyone at 175, but Moore proved he could bob-n-weave his way inside big, powerful HWs and work them over on the...
Basically this - Nelson mixes boxing and slugging to win a decision. Also, given how Lockridge was cold-cocked by LaPorte and Nelson's own...
I guess you could say his opponent was... FINNISHed. [IMG]
Couple of games today for anyone who's interested.
Canelo presses behind his superior defense and technique and wins on points IMO.
Separate names with a comma.
