I’d take Joppy over everybody GGG beat at mw except Jacobs and Canelo.
GGG isn’t going to fight like DLH and Hopkins He’s right there to be hit as well and when he gets hit back his energy changes. Golovkins not much...
Tito had “hands”. His feet might have been clumsy but once he got them set he wasn’t just a hard puncher, he was really quick, really aware and...
He threw punches desperately when he realized he had to but he didn’t have that Erik Morales reflex of punching back. He’d get hit and say ‘doh!’.
If Benitez fought in Trinidad’s era, or this era, I don’t think people would be so dismissive of his struggles. Cdogg keeps talking this “at...
So Trinidad “wasn’t in the class” of not one, not two but 3 guys who had inferior careers to him?
How convenient. How the heck did Benitez have a better career than Trinidad? That’s fucking absurd.
It’s easy to think of Tito as a big, stalking destroyer type but it was his athleticism and explosiveness that really set him apart. If you...
Thats the first I’ve heard of Gomez being old coming into the Nelson fight, but I wasn’t around then.
Gatti physically seemed to be able to take big shots and absorb punishment but when he got hit clean he would just freeze like he was about to...
Head to head, Gomez lost his biggest fights because of his chin against guys that didn’t have the offense or power of Tito. He wasn’t very tall...
Golovkin is too slow and there to be hit. He’s got a good chin but you saw how measured he can get when his opponent has power and the speed to...
By solid light heavies. Canelo is a light heavy but I don’t think he’d be that strong or effective there. Plus he’s an Oompa Loompa. He’d have a...
Gomez didn’t beat anybody I’d pick over Tito p4p. Claiming contenders from Gomez resume were better than contenders from Trinidad’s doesn’t mean...
Prime Tito kicks the shit out of Canelo weight Canelo and any GGG.
I’d take that Roy over Canelo. No doubt.
What am I winding up? Trinidad just had a better, more momentous, more ‘glorious’ career. There was no heartbreak for him until he was at the...
He was great and his win over Zarate is probably bigger than any of Trinidad’s. But he decisively fell short and the guys he fell short against...
He was alaways hyped as the next PR great. Obviously no one placed him above those guys until he started building a resume. That’s my point....
HBO hype pails in comparison to Wide World of Sports nostalgia.
After they got beat up by Leonard, Hearns, Sanchez and Nelson they were “second best” and the guys that beat them became “the story”. Trinidad was...
Benitez was dominated by Hearns and SRL. I’d heard they were good matches and I was disappointed by how one sided they were. I’m glad you enjoyed...
How “good” they were is opinion. We can be more objective in appraising their career. Tito was seen as a true #1 pfp contender at his peak. The...
Benitez was dominated by Leonard and Hearns in his two biggest fights. Gomez was knocked out by Sanchez and Nelson. The only time a relevant...
Yeah, you can romanticize their primes and best nights, but Trinidad’s career kind of shits on theirs.
Maybe lb’s thinking of Lucian Bute.
Harrison is more talented than Williams. Faster hands, better puncher and more coordinated on his feet. Williams has a shot against Hurd because...
Pascal wasn’t that great but he was always a scrappy, durable guy. Maybe you’re thinking of someone else?
I haven’t seen the whole thing. The CGI is awful but maybe it was cool in 3D. More cheap and goofy than I’d expect in a Venom movie but kind of...
It was a stiff clean shot and fighters have been hurt, dropped and even knocked out with similar shots. Loading your wraps doesn’t really make you...
