I think DeLaHoya's difficulty in staying committed to a gameplan ultimately does him in. IMO, Basilio draws close by the middle rounds and then...
I can potentially see the Jr. Mw McCallum giving Robi a good fight by working behind his jab and getting in close. But I think the older,...
I think Griffith only really troubled Monzon in their 2nd fight, when Carlos had a lot of trouble making weight and was also returning to the ring...
I think Gavilan with his speed and creativity would be able to stay just a step ahead of Tito and win a close but clear decision.
Anyway, I'd say Monzon's physical advantages (and his knack for making the most of them) would ultimately be too much for Leonard to overcome. I...
Maybe he means Benny Leonard vs. Monzon? :No2:
Khan marches through Cotto's best shots and grinds him down to a late stoppage.
Castillo wins with superior inside technique.
McCallum was craftier and more versatile at 160 than he had been at 154, but he lost some of his firepower with the move up in weight and he...
Me too, I think he overpowers Haugen.
:Jest: I wonder if Rock would even know what to do with a height advantage.
Katsidis almost beat Casamayor, but he ran into a big shot late and was stopped. After that, he seemed to descend into journeyman status.
Tyson - He already met his (Spinks). After that, I'd say Ken Norton. Roy - Pavlik or Arthur Abraham Pryor - Danny Garcia Leonard - Simon...
Agreed with the consensus so far - Mancini gets stopped late, either from being busted up or KDs.
Toward the end, I think. IDK how good Tackie was down at 135 TBH.
Also, what weight class would this be fought at? Tackie peaked at 140, Kat at 135.
I'd favor Tackie's slow-but-steady pressure over Kat's wilder and more sporadic attack and questionable stamina down the stretch.
David Reid?
In terms of historical standing, I think it's between Arguello and May as TBE at 130. May probably deserves to be favored H2H based on styles,...
:Jest: I'd like to imagine that that's how Lora got his nickname.
Boxing was considered a noble profession back then.
Benn-Barkley. After Benn started out fast and dropped Barkley (+ hitting him while he was down), Barkley then rocked Benn badly and had him back...
Something that I think is being overlooked here is that Benn was much less of a strategist and more of a frontrunner himself at 160 as compared to...
I could see scenarios with either fighter winning - Mancini's struggle with southpaw technician Romero bodes well for Loma, while Loma's loss to...
I thought Alfredo Angulo had managed to slow Canelo a bit and was starting to be competitive in the rounds when a big punch by Canelo spurred the...
I don't think Sandoval's approach to fighting Chandler was all too dissimilar from Carter's (i.e.: darting in and out, attacking unpredictably)....
I was never particularly impressed with Holiday. His body attack could give him a potential avenue to victory here, but overall I'd favor Diaz on...
Roger Rouse after losing his title shot vs. Dick Tiger is another notable example.
I'd probably give the edge to Hearns on points, but wouldn't rule out that Ward gets inside and turns the fight in his favor at some point.
I think Fenech of the Martinez and 1st Nelson fights probably still had enough left to beat Mitchell.
Separate names with a comma.
