So, was he just not a very good boxer? Or did he simply excel more when allowed to play the role of counter puncher against a more aggressive...
Xplosive, is it possible your complete disregard for Konadu’s abilities are tied in to your dislike for Tapia? What indications did Roman give of...
This is true, but it’s always been the case. Every generation of fighters has been treated the same way. That’s why it would behoove all of us to...
Durability is the big difference here, and it’s enough to favor Oscar by KO at some point, I’d say.
All good, man. He was a great fighter, that’s for sure.
As for Jackson being a better comparison, I’m gonna have to go ahead and disagree with you there. He was shot by the Hopkins fight, first of all....
It’s been a long time since I watched them, but as I recall Taylor basically swept the first half of both fights on workrate and athleticism. The...
Arguello was just as young and green against Marcel. Yet, that’s by far his biggest win. I think most would favor a more seasoned Arguello to take...
That’s essentially what he did in his 24 rounds (or at least half of them) against Jermain Taylor, a far inferior boxer to Kalambay. All that...
Anyone that can punch like Naz has a prayer. Saldivar didn’t have a great chin, either. Ultimately I’d still favor Saldivar’s class to prevail,...
You think 4 fights is enough to draw that conclusion? He was beaten by a teenager in one of those, after all.
Surely Pacquiao qualifies as an action fighter.
Been watching all I can on him recently, and looking around for what little info I can find online. It’s crazy how a guy like Mims, controlled by...
That’s a damn good level to be at.
He’s live against pretty much any pure boxing stylist from 126-130.
Ralph Dupas vs Gil Turner Del Flanagan vs Sandy Saddler
Much obliged. I wasn’t talking about you, just so you know. I’ve seen similar sentiments to those in your post echoed several times. I just want...
I’d rank Hernandez at least on par with Gonzalez. He fought almost everyone in the most stacked era for the Lt. Welter division and beat most.
This is the crux of the issue. The problem I’ve noticed is a new wave of thought starting to rear its head that disregards the very first part of...
February to July of 1935, Chango Casanova fought 5 men in 5 months: Henry Armstrong Midget Wolgast Juan Zurita Baby Arizmendi Speedy Dado All...
Juan Zurita, too. Both were a class below Arizmendi and Casanova, though.
1. Julio Cesar Chavez 2. Salvador Sanchez 3. Vicente Saldivar 4. Ruben Olivares 5. Miguel Canto 6. Juan Manuel Marquez 7. Baby Arizmendi 8....
You forgot his wins over Yaqui Lopez. And I gotta say, I strongly disagree that there isn’t a massive disparity in quality there. For my money,...
Galindez had more close, controversial wins than he did. Without question if we’re limiting it to their actual title reign. Barrera was the only...
There could be plenty of debate, I’d say. Chacon does have the better KO record, and he faced superior opposition while building it. I do agree...
Not sure I agree that Ramos was a level above a young Chacon, but I do take the point and agree with it.
So why does Perez outrank Galindez? I know there’s the unspoken rule that everyone has to never question Perez, but I’m feeling wild. Hell, why...
Not sure. Haven’t seen enough quality footage of Perez.
1. Monzon 2. Locche 3. Galindez 4. Laciar 5. Perez/Accavallo
Not that simple with Lora, though. Fighting with his back to the ropes is what made Happy happy. Same as Benitez, but with meaner intentions being...
