As long as Iran Barkley doesn't enter the tournament, I give Hearns the overall best chance of winning it. I make him the favorite vs. Jones,...
At the end of the day, I think the biggest issue with Curry is that he didn't really have a 2nd gear. He was a very efficiently economic puncher,...
His career was fkkd up by a shoulder injury that never fully healed properly.
I still think Pac would win on the strength of his southpaw attack, consistent workrate, and better defense and technique.
I picture this as possibly having a Rosario-Ramirez type outcome - Corrales survives some rocky moments and perhaps a KD or two early, finds...
Have any thoughts changed now that we've seen Canelo beat GGG, Jacobs, and Kova?
Tiger slips in under McClellan's right hands and breaks him down to a late stoppage.
I just came to that same conclusion myself. :Lol1:
That's only because his all-time status was so disproportionally overblown to begin with. If he had been rated properly according to his actual...
If McCallum boxes like he did against Watson, I think he might be able to win it on points.
I think Marquez was a bit more well-rounded and wins a close decision in a fight that's alternately tactical and action-packed (similar to his own...
Roy had better come out firing and get Qawi's respect straightaway in the 1st round - then he might be able to dance and potshot his way to...
If Barrera still had the fiery intensity of his 122-pound days, then he might've been able to force Sanchez into a war the way Nelson did...
If we're talking about Jones in '97 when he was being discussed for a fight with Hamed, then I think he beats Kelley. The Jones that started...
Pacquiao hadn't yet developed his peak skillset at the time he lost to Morales, and his footspeed noticeably slowed down post-Margarito. Morales...
Monzon uses his reach and ties McCallum up at close quarters to prevent the Bodysnatcher from snatching his body, then goes on to win on points....
Pryor too dynamic for Tszyu IMO - he wins by decision or late stoppage.
I think equal or greater criticism could be leveled at DLH's WW tenure than Manny's. All of DLH's big fights at the weight - Whitaker, Quartey,...
I'd still favor Manny - a speedy southpaw with two-fisted firepower would be a nightmare for DLH at any weight IMO.
Tommy Hearns vs. Billy Backus?
I actually thought O'Grady was the better fighter back when they were both active. I think his win over Kenty was the best single win of either...
I wouldn't be surprised if Spinks gave DLH a much tougher fight than most people would expect. DLH could sometimes go into "robot mode" when...
I think Kalambay might get off to an early lead, but GGG increasingly finds him as the fight progresses and stops him late.
I give the edge to Johnson as well. If Kova can't bomb him out in the first half of the fight, I think Johnson's relentless pressure wears on him...
I think a peak Pacquiao (DLH/Cotto/Clottey) might have too much combined speed and firepower for El Radar to elude.
I think Winky's style bears similarities to Starling and (especially) Rocchigiani - though whether that's an argument for or against Winky depends...
I think Qawi is too good of an inside technician, and I don't think Galindez was quite skilled or disciplined enough to keep him at bay for an...
I don't see Curry holding Mosley at bay for an entire fight. At some point, I think Mosley hits home with the kinds of bombs that flattened...
Who wins between these all-action, blood-n-guts jr. LWs?
Wait, there's a "Glove gate" too?? Last I heard, it was "Costume gate." I guess two "gates" are better than one. :Dont:
