I’d favor Johnson more often than not, much as I hate to say it.
African-Americans have a leg up genetically speaking due to slavery.
Johnny is really hard to predict in fantasy fights. I have a hard time seeing him lose to Moon, though.
I agree with all of the above.
Moon is hell for most defensive fighters that lack the power to deter him, particularly those reliant on their footwork. Lora was neither. Of...
Galaxy’s first 5 title defenses weren’t bad at all. I’m beginning to think the Pical fight was something of a fork in the road that started him...
Who was questioning it at the time, though? Marquez wasn’t even a major name by that point. The most ink he’d gotten came off the back of his...
He was indeed. I just find the Hernandez fight to be much more concrete proof of his abilities, even if the Fuji fight is more renowned. Fuji was...
As for the Oscar/Tito debate, I’d take Oscar based on his highly underrated Lightweight reign. Destroyed Paez like nobody else in 2 short rounds...
Rodriguez needs more love on the 60s list. It is a really hard one, though. Killed me leaving Saldivar off.
Locche should beat him fairly clearly. Tszyu had great timing but was too one note offensively, I believe. Even when he does land, which he will,...
Tszyu hit the ground running as a pro. That’s how it goes with most highly rated international level amateurs. He showed a more varied and...
That’s just hating, really. He successfully defended his Featherweight title 15 consecutive times. 4th highest total in Featherweight history....
Leonard could surely be argued against just based on how sporadically he was actually in the ring. After the detached retina in ‘82 he only fought...
Probably ought to edit your list then, no?
Beat me to it. Here’s the other thing, there’s essentially no difference between them resume wise. The best names they beat were past prime,...
So, the question becomes: Why do you hold it against Hamed for losing to the only great fighter he faced, but don’t hold it against Tszyu for...
Check your list again.
He has as strong an argument as any for #1.
Anyone who says Harada doesn’t have a legitimate argument is fooling themselves. It actually took me a while to come around to Jofre. It’s only...
To make it easier on myself, I’m gonna make a rule. One decade per fighter. And I’m more or less encompassing their full body of work, truth be...
Tiger Dick.
Oh, I’m not picking him over most of those guys. I just think he matches up really well with Zamora. You’re right on your general point. He...
You’re both in agreement that Frank Fletcher is the more exciting Middleweight of all time?
Pretty obvious explanation for that.
The same place it would put George Foreman if he came out of retirement after another 20+ years and regained the Heavyweight championship again. A...
2 rounds earlier. That doesn’t mean Moon is twice the fighter Zarate is, by the way. It’s just a different matchup. Zarate was more cerebral and...
Moon KO2 Zamora
If you’re buying that Galaxy is one of the hardest punchers ever, maybe not. I think Konadu proved his power more conclusively against Roman,...
The fact that Taylor ended his reign and then denied him in his chance to take the title back would seem a good enough reason for him to move on...
Separate names with a comma.
