I am assuming that the fight is at 160. When I say that they were on different sides of the weigh in change what I am referring to is the approach...
Skill-wise, pretty evenly matched. I think that they are on different sides of the weigh in change when it comes to making weight so there would...
I was trying to send a pm to another poster, it was detailed and footnoted. About 3/4 of the way through it vanished. Can I retrieve it somehow...
In my opinion, rating Sandoval off of the Chandler fight is misleading; that was the night, and the fight, of his life. If he is on like he was...
He didn't fight that way that much. As the years have gone by he has come to fight pretty much like his older brother used to.
Apparently Figueroa is being paid $650k, Nery $250k. A guy that I am familiar with- I know his trainer pretty well- is making $8k for an 8 rounder.
I remember when Shane Mosley was standing in the corner of the gym watching when he was barely old enough to stand up. On one of my sojourns from...
It was almost impossible to fight Bruce Curry and it not be a war.
I don't think that Honeyghan was too good. I think that Thurman is terrible and I think that he is soft in the center. He would be, I am guessing,...
I always liked it when guys tried to come across as very intimidating. When the bell rings and you catch his jab in your glove and let your eyes...
Golota would give Shavers a boxing lesson early, he had a good jab and good skills. Then Shavers would nail him. If Golota took the punch he...
I have to say this....he would be called Fernie way, way, way before he would be called Nando.
When Arroyo was on his game his right hand counters were so precise. Mancini was more of a two handed guy, but he was not opposed, not...

Figueroa finished his camp in great shape. Unlike his brother he still takes boxing very seriously.
The Barkley fight and the Hagler fight at 160 kind of prove my point, as does Leonard at 147. Granted, there is a point where size differential...
I think that is probably true.
I think that he was better overall, on an all time ranking.
Barkley's best shot is at 160. He was younger and fresher at the weight and, at 160, Canelo hadn't peaked.
The perfect example of this actually happened when Hearns knocked out Duran. Duran was the better fighter but he would never beat Hearns. He...
He was recuperating in Hawaii for about 10 days or so.
Is there anything of Benny Leonard beyond the 20 odd minutes of the Tendler fight?
Boxing is in a sorry state these days, skills-wise. That's why the casual observers can't distinguish the difference between a real pro fighter...
The perfect guy for Billy Conn would be Chris Arreola. He is not smart enough to trap Conn, he is too slow to catch him and, after 3 rounds of...
It might be that the guy to make Ezzard Charles look outstanding is Archie Moore.
My understanding is that he has had issues with anxiety and depression going back to his childhood.
You don't wrap the hand with tape. The tape is used in strategic places to hold the gauze. Some places limit the amount of gauze, Montreal did at...
This is a fight that would go to one extreme or the other. Either Cuevas would walk through McGirt early or Buddy would give him a boxing lesson....
As I recall the dispute over wraps before the Hopkins fight had to do with the amount of tape used, and that New York has a limit of 24 inches of...
I thought that Haugen won the first two fights with Pazienza and that the second fight was a brilliant performance. Of particular interest to me...
