Tiger was renown for his ability to bust up pressure fighters at 160, but how would he fare against one of the very best 175-pound pressure...
He wasn't, but Henry Hank was. Foster lopsidedly outboxed him in a very disciplined performance. [MEDIA]
I'm not sure I agree with that. Spinks wasn't exactly renown for his polish or technique prior to the Qawi performance. He was usually the...
Johnson should outclass Toney at 175 IMO. Too mobile, too good a jab, and just a better class of fighter at that weight. I've often thought...
I'm more inclined to think it could be the other way around. Ortiz doesn't strike me as the kind of speedy and elusive boxer that's troubled...
In the modern era, I'd say Chong-Pal Park. He was the first ever super-MW champ I believe, but the division was a wasteland of LHW has-beens and...
In the early 20th century, Al McCoy was notorious for exploiting the "no-decision" rules to keep a stranglehold on the MW title. He was usually...

Hard to figure how a fight between two slick boxer/counterpunchers will play out. If I have to choose, I'd favor Laguna who I feel was a bit more...
Regardless of Espa's defensive faults, I question how well Naz's quirky style would work against a lanky puncher like Espa. I wish we could've...
I think Curry is a prime example of a fighter that was too "by the book" - meaning he had trouble fighting outside the book when he faced an...
JC Chavez. At 130, he looked a touch skinny and could be pushed around by pressure fighters (i.e.: Martinez, Lockridge), but he was a more...
He was never going to live up to 100% of whatever potential he may have had once he got that eye injury. Even if he avoided getting it reinjured,...
Post-Ike Williams and pre-Ortiz is an overlooked and underrated LW era in general.
Johnny Saxton is primarily remembered for his two title-winning fights (vs. Basilio and Gavilan) that were not only gift decisions, but also...
I didn't mean to suggest that he wasn't good again after the Salazar fight, just that I think it continued to affect some of his performances...
Looking at what films exist of Eder Jofre, I think he may apply to this thread as well. Pre-title reign Jofre made a lot of use of his legs and...
I remember thinking Lockridge clearly beat him in one of their fights.
I don't think he's tried a single QB sneak since then.
I think Romero was a better boxer and technician than Zamora, but he never had a dominant run or signature win(s) that would give cause to favor...
I'll never understand how the heck Rossman beat Galindez. He had a big right hand, but he was otherwise fairly limited and wasn't particularly...
Giants just pulled off a colossal upset over Seattle to solidify their position atop the NFC East and potentially drop Seattle back into a wild...
I think Galindez can manhandle and overpower Torres on the inside. Torres' record against big punchers is shaky - he was bombed out by Floro...
I think the Hearns of the Andries fight might have a shot here. The Hearns of the Hill/Barkley fights might've been too slow and stationary by...
Pedroza has always been one of the most confounding fighters for me to try to figure out. Sometimes I think he was an overachieving stinker who...
I'd pick Crawford to win based on his skill and versatility, but I agree with those who say Tito's superior resume creates some doubt.
I think Barkley matches up with Tiger about the same as Henry Hank or Floro Fernandez. Tiger wins a wide UD or perhaps late stoppage with cleaner...
Tough to pick between these two very well-rounded and versatile LW legends. Williams was a bit taller/rangier and a quicker and sharper puncher...
212 was not a good weight for Spinks anyway. An indication he was probably already mentally retired by that time.
Should've figured this was meant for me. :D I may not have seen enough of Lora to judge him fairly. Rose has always impressed me as someone who...
