Hatton was better at armbarring and hugging than Tszyu, that's about it.
LOL Irish's posts in this thread are hilarious
Why should it be, when he'd already stated six months earlier that it was off the table now? He made every possible concession to Manny including...
Aside from imaginary scenarios, if you're talking about the 1967 version of Ali, that version beats every HW in the game today. The only fighter...
In the past 1.5 years, Floyd dominated JMM and Shane. In the past 1.5 years, Manny has fought Margarito after Shane destroyed him and after a...
Ali, Camacho Sr., Floyd Jr, RJJ are all great examples. I'd add Pernell Whitaker and yes, Manny Pac.
No, he offered to take the tests with a 2 week cutoff point. The same 2 week cutoff point that Floyd had said was henceforth no longer on the...
How about.. Get off the juice & take the fucking drug test instead of giving bullshit excuses and fighting Floyd's leftovers? I so hope the...
I would pick Morrison over all of the top 10 with the exception of Vitali.
I agree that Tszyu and Tito are both immensely overrated. But overrated or not, Tszyu was world class and a champ. Rios has done nothing to...
Everyone seems to be forgetting that most of the JLWs and LWs Floyd beat were already as big or bigger than Gavilan. I'd take Floyd, 8-4ish...
Moorer was a phenom at LHW, but at HW.. Morrison by KO.
A prime Hagler is too slick and too skilled for Benn. Not to mention the otherworldly chin..
I will say that Norris' chin gets a worse rap than it deserves. But I do think Mugabi was capable of exploiting that weakness.
What's next, Roberto Duran vs Acelino Freitas at 135?
Mugabi was greatly diminished post-Hagler. I would take a prime Beast over Norris by KO with little hesitation.
Bigger and stronger, yes. Better, no. "Bigger and stronger than Gatti" isn't going to get him very far in a fight w/ PBF.
WTF? We're talking about the same Duran who beat Leonard in Montreal? That Duran is in a different ballpark, league, and sport from Trinidad....
I personally would have preferred that Floyd stay at 135-140. Could've easily been ATG there, imo. But he doesn't like drying out and cutting...
To be fair, the Castillo that Hatton fought was well past his best. Castillo in his prime is by far the superior fighter, imo.
Floyd has only fought two guys who fit the description of "strong, durable welterweights." Shane Mosley and Carlos Baldomir. Only one of those...
"his sort?" (coming from anyone else, I wouldn't need to ask) Anyway, cosign on all the negative comments about Roach. He's a dick, a...
Couple issues with this.. 1. I don't really think pressure bothers Floyd. He chose to fight Castillo's fight in the first fight and in the...
5 rounds is being generous to Haye.
Or possibly the term "neutered," which is what Floyd would do to Mayorga. Mayorga wouldn't win a round. Personally even back in '06-'07, I was...
Which fights did Tyson show a lack of fortitude in?
Yeah, I'm really considering not buying it. But I'll probably give in in the end.
Oscar couldn't make anything south of 190 by tomorrow.
That's what people seem to be missing in this thread. Who gives a shit if Shane weighed 160+ on fight night? It's MARVIN FUCKING HAGLER, not...
I think Lewis would've always been a tough fight for Tyson. Other than that, I largely agree w/ this post, except I might lean toward Tyson more...
Separate names with a comma.
