I'd pick Kessler, his bigger punches would be the deciding factor
Who's George?
Good one. What bothers me is that if a fighter brings these up, they are automatically labeled as excuses, even though at the absolute top the...
What imo doesn't get noticed enough is how much the promoters and other circumstances affect the outcome of fights. Promoters choose judges and...
To me, he looked very comfortable there. It was as if there was a safety net included with this challenge
Oscar did challenge himself time and time again though, whereas Ward retired in the midst of his prime
I'd definitely rank Kovalev, Kessler and Froch at least on the same level as Quartey. Also I see this nearly opposite. I consider prime Ward as...
It is weird how much the official decisions sway our thinking. 90% of people considered Ward very lucky to get the nod over Kovalev. Whereas about...
Foreman had a good jab too though, and Holmes wasn't the physical type of a guy who would just steamroll him. It could be interesting for a while,...
Yuri Foreman faces Keith Holmes at 160. Who do you see taking it? I'd make Holmes the favorite (My homage to @Dog Jones )
I wouldn't go that far. Spain had a chance to pull away during the first half an hour too
Ever since Germany was allowed back to the World Cup in 1954, they have only been eliminated once in the group stage. That was four years ago....
In VAR era you are not supposed to react at anything
Don't take it seriously man
But since boxing evolution works backwards, all they have to do is to wait about five years and they will be the rulers of the world :pop:
At that point he wasn't, now he might be. Fighters can develop tactically
I still believe Eubank has future in the sport left. He is getting up in age but he has a couple of good years left, and he has looked pretty good...
I guess it depends on what we mean by dominant. Does it mean 'highest above his contemporaries' or 'above his contemporaries for the longest...
That's an interesting take, although I can't agree. Do you apply the same idea for continuing career for too long? Does for example the Joppy...
To me it makes more sense to rank a fighter based on his best weight class, especially if he has spent the clear majority of his career there....
Before I get to more nuanced answer, tell me if I am getting this correctly. You rate Spinks far above Foster, correct?
Again I have to bring up the Bob Foster example. Most consider him to be about the same level as Spinks. Yet, you never hear Foster being...
Jesse Ferguson fits to some extent. He beat Ray Mercer and later defeated then-unbeaten Bobby Harris who was 18-0 and also Samson Po'uha who still...
Monte Barret. Not quite top-10 guy but stopped some rising names such as Dominic Guinn, Eric Kirkland, Owen Beck and exposed Joe Mesi too, even...
I think I agree with you in that Bivol isn't worth of FOTY. Two defenses, one against a smaller guy and the other against an average contender...
If we disregard Tszyu this gets tricky. Of course Khan's chances of survival would be less than 5% with all of them, but if I had to put money...
Has to be Tszyu. His footwork wasn't special (although good) and he isn't the puncher Tito was. Also, Khan has a better chance of avoiding a right...
This is easy. Both would know from the getgo that they had no chance. Thus, they would fight to survive. Spinks would be bit more likely to...
Ok, what about these 1) Ray Leonard suffers five knockdowns in the same fight (welterweight) 2) Amir Khan goes full rounds with Tommy Hearns 3)...
Let's assume all the fighters in question are in their prime and best weight class, unless mentioned otherwise. Which one of these highly unlikely...
Separate names with a comma.
