Diaz is stylistically winnable for Gatti, but I believe he is still too good. Diaz outlands him in a good one
Oscar didn't have to change much, cos Tito wasn't able to change his approach either. Keep the movement, keep the jab at Tito's grill, don't give...
Name some fights where you believe that a quick rematch would have changed the outcome. For example: Oscar would have beaten Tito, and gotten...
I believe the ref claimed Reid had backhanded Ottke, which never happened
King once charged his fighter 25.000 for doing his laundry during the six-week training camp. The fight contract demanded that the fighter had...
OK, let's be honest for a moment here. It was you who wanted to take a shot at Canelo, when the thread wasn't about him. That's because you have...
I'm just trying to find the consistent logic from here. Mosley, like Foster, was dominant in his best weight class, often because of his superior...
In my opinion, no. However, many seem to disagree, considering the likes of De La Hoya, Canelo, Floyd, Mosley etc. who have struggled above their...
The legendary 175 lbs champion competed at heavyweight too, but not with much success. He was usually taller than his opponents at heavyweight and...
@BOSS is actually making sense here. The attitude towards "quitting" is the main problem. It is difficult to fix however, because as @Azazel...
Good point
Of course a ref can change the fight, absolutely. And I have no doubt Roy's camp was happy to learn that it was Nady in the ring. Maybe they even...
This training routine by Beterbiev is pretty bad-ass. The traditional Russian style has been to build up the forearms to get weight behind the...
If anything, Jones' camp may have wanted Nady to be the ref (I don't know if they pursued it or not) because of his strict line. There's nothing...
And why should he? He is a (super)middle who found his limit. Duran never pursued for a rematch with Hearns either but that doesn't mean much
I saw Bivol a lot as an amateur. Imo he has always been pretty unique in the sense that he is very difficult to categorize, as he can pressure and...
Which well-known fights do you believe have been fixed? I mean fixed in a strict sense, so that there have been at least two participants in the...
Bowe didn't beat many boxer-types and struggled with Tubbs so there's a question mark above him. Ali shone in some of his bouts but also had his...
Easy to find evidence to support both sides. Tszyu had perhaps his best performance against a steady pressure guy (Gonzalez) but was overwhelmed...
He did, but he has an exceptional amount of classic fights. Plus, Hagler win is arguably his greatest achievement. Sanchez' prime was short and...
Fighters who can be considered great who did the smallest amount of work. Usually it is guys who had special level of talent but for some reason...
Tyson and Pryor are good choices, but I wouldn't call Bowe an ATG even with a stretch
Usually longevity is among the most important factors for a fighter to be defined as an all time great. Who, by your definition, are the ATGs who...
let's call it a draw then
So you have done almost as well as I
Has anybody here, aside from Reed, participated in the business side of pro boxing? Have you been a promoter, manager, matchmaker, assistant or...
This is an excellent point and pretty much what I was trying to say, only better worded. Surely fighters can represent something other athletes...
Nope. In most professions having a YouTube channel doesn't help you at all. If you are an accountant, you won't get any more working...
I'm not turning boxing into WWE. I'm just trying to figure out how boxing could survive without completely selling its soul. Sure we would all...
I am a fan of Jake Paul. No, I won't watch his fights nor anything else, but he has demonstrated how little boxing people understand about...
