It's one of the top 10 of the 80s. All time? Can't say. I think it's a tough fight but Brown gets him. Tall or cute guys frustrated Brown, Ike...
Bad matchup for Pac at 147 and 154. Benitez would be a nightmare for him. I haven't seen enough Benitez at 140 to pick that one.
Fun fight. I think Pac wins a close one but goes through hell to do it.
Totally agree. Saad would make it exciting but the damage would be too much and unlike Johnson and some others Foster would find a way to close...
Hearns is all wrong for him. GGG is tough as nails but seeing Jacobs and Brook hit him with right hands and uppercuts make it hard for me to...
Duran wins at 135 and 147. Floyd's best chance is at 154 but that isn't a given either.
Agreed. A fresher GGG would make it close but Nunn's size, skills and style look like his kryptonite.
Taylor has moments early but Toney busts him up and stops him. Too skilled and sharp at for Taylor at either weight.
I know the Loma love is strong but Camacho was really, really good at 130. I need to see more Loma before I'd be confident picking him over Camacho.
I thought the Tua knockdown against Rahman was the one that wasn't counted in the second fight right at the bell.
Pretty much. Hagler was hell in rematches. Duran gets punished and probably doesn't see the final bell this time around.
Mosley wins but it's a tough fight. Mosley's speed and reach would give Brown fits but he has some moments. If Shane fought smart he could beat...
Definitely. I don't remember too many folks thinking Shane would beat Tito and a lot of folks thought a Quartey fight would be a nap and tuck affair.
Worse. Thurman would have no answers for Forrest at all. His size and style would give Thurman hell and I don't see Thurman surviving the...
Tony "The Tiger" Lopez vs. John John Molina. It was great but largely forgotten trilogy. Great back and forth action in all three fights.
A little bit. If you can't blast him out Etienne could win some rounds with his activity. This would be a fun little fight with no stakes at...
It's a winnable fight for Floyd but not an easy one. Breland may have been as brittle as glass but he had a huge heart and would not be...
Fully Obel, Willie Monroe and Bobby Watts were all 6 feet or taller. Hagler shreds the Ghost. Like X said Hagler's jab would do a number on...
True but the welterweight version of Taylor was less mobile and would be open to Brown's counters. Brown would be a step behind early but his...
Dick Tiger seems like a good one. His KO percentage was only 33% but he had heavy hands and was pretty feared.
Bad match up for Cotto. Brown was just too big and at his best does a ton of things that would give Cotto hell. To beat Brown you need a good...
Yeah. Lopez was just too hittable to beat Corrales. Corrales by mid-rounds KO.
Only one problem with that: Breland liked to fight. He could fight smart and win this but he could be drawn into a brawl. Tall Paul wasn't a...
I could see that especially with the pre-Starling version. Breland's stamina seemed to fail him in tough fights so I have a hard time seeing him...
This is actually a tough one. Tall Paul's activity and volume punching would seem to give him the edge but if you don't hurt Breland he's a...
Aside from the Honeyghan fight when did Curry "fall apart" at welter? DLH might have been a bit quicker and more fluid than Curry but he wasn't...
I kind of see it the other way. Curry's faster jab and more versatile offense makes Ike uncomfortable in the fight. It would be a tough fight but...
Rigo wins by midrounds kayo after a decent scrap. Junior was too fragile to last the distance but he'd do some damage before Rigo gets him out of...
Curry looked off in that fight from the beginning. He looked flat and overtrained. Honeyghan might have a given the best Curry a good fight but he...
How about the first Casamayor-Corrales fight? Casa handled business early but Corrales was coming on when the cuts forced the stoppage.
