Back in 2015, I was there the day that Omar Jr started sparring for the DeMarco fight. He was working with a guy named Jose Prado, an interesting...
You raise a good point. My initial reaction was that, at 135 Ganigan would smoke Morales. But Morales was fighting at 135 when he was at 122. The...
Fritzie Zivic because I'm Croatian to and because my aunt got his autograph in 1940. Jimmy Heair and Randy Shields because I saw them fight when I...
I spent some time in Phoenix, in the gym on Van Buren just behind one of the government building. It was called the Central Boxing gym, I think....
That was a horrible fight. Honest to God, they both sucked. Canelo was throwing a right hand that a first week novice should be ashamed of- you...
Getting stopped by Julian Jackson doesn't, in my opinion, define you as having an unreliable ability to take a punch. Nor does being stopped by...
Two of my favorites. My heart wants me to say Chavez. But I always thought that Frankie Randall would be a very hard fight for Chavez- even before...
I don't know that Davis Jr could move enough to keep Paz from getting on him, and I know he can't punch hard enough to back him out once Paz gets...
The punch counters would earn their money.
Probably Brandon Figueroa, because I saw him spar a lot and fight when he first turned pro and his father is a very good guy. Errol Spence because...
Thank you for motivating me to, finally, watch Arbachakov. I watched Yuri fight 3 times and my impression is that he is a very, very good amateur...
Villasana vs Barrera would sell out the Olympic Auditorium and be one of those fights that, if you were there to see it, would become a landmark...
Cotto would be screwed. He can't box and stay away from Napoles and he can't outfight him.
If you were describing the perfect fighter for Napoles to use as the canvas upon which to paint his masterpiece, you would end up describing a...
At cruiser this could potentially be the worst fight of all time. Toney liked to stand in one place, let guys come to him, and counter them....
Yes. He was a very reliable individual and he knew just about everybody. He managed Harold Warren, Manuel Gomez, Jesus Chavez and Alex Saucedo,...
Lopez is an interesting guy. He always trained in Mexico City so that he could go home at night and be with his family. During his career he had 2...
The late Dempsey1234 spent a considerable amount of time in Mexico City with Nacho and Ricardo Lopez. Lopez not moving up was a matter of personal...
In my mind, Simon Brown is kind of like the Canelo that Cotto fought. If you throw one punch and move, or two and move, he can't get set to...
Starling could win this fight because he will block a lot and make Oscar miss a lot. If he punches back, he can win. If he makes faces and dances...
If Starling fights him, he wins very clearly and probably by knockout. If he decides to lay on the ropes, make faces and do the Starling Stomp,...
Personally, I think that, if such things could really be quantified, it would end up being somebody like Greg Haugen or Ralph Dupas. A guy that...
The only thing that I would add to that is this...Pryor isn't going to lose faith and doubt himself because he might miss a lot of punches because...
And 2 hours to make weight...how many ExLax can he eat?
The only way that Vargas could stop McCallum is by throwing salt in his eyes, then having his manager hit Mike with a chair. Even then Vargas...
Boxing fans put way too much on the performance of one night, be it a very good performance and especially if it is a very bad performance. But it...
It has been a pleasure watching George grow over the last few years. He reminds me to watch all Asian fighters I could only read about during...
Canizales. His mobility and angles will beat Chandler. There is a gym in Laredo, a city sponsored gym, named after Orlando. On the days that he is...
No. He and Duran would be a fight for the ages at 135, probably the best fight of all time. But Napoles would beat him- he would out Duran him....
It took Brook two tries to pound Carson Jones. I don't see how he has much to offer Spence, pre the Spence bout with the cartwheeling Ferrari. I...
