Hey REED, On the other hand, should we also pretend that a large part of RJJ's success DIDN'T come from his remarkable physical gifts? Every...
Yep. LOK is cool, but his opinions regarding Lewis should be taken more than a few grains of salt.
Hey REED!!! They're gonna make RUDY II!!!!:lol:
Yeah, but McCallum never did a "Chicken Dance" in the ring. And ultimately...that is what this topic is about (outside of creating yet ANOTHER...
Promises, promises...I can only hope this is true. But I am skeptical since this isn't the first time you've said this. Your ego and your...
Struck a nerve, did I?? :lol: If you didn't say ridiculous things...you wouldn't get ridiculed for saying them. It's not exactly rocket science....
Imagine if either of the two camps waves a white towel at any point during the broadcast. :lol:
:lol:
I've never been a fan of either fighter, but the abilities of both can't be denied. I think Jones at his peak was the better fighter. But I...
What impact did the "Mixed Spinach Can" incident have on Popeye's legacy? Discuss.
Yep it was pretty terrible until around 1993 or so (With the exception of Leonard-Hearns II...which actually should have happened at a lower...
Plus Popeye fought in black and white cartoons and Superman in color.
No! No! No! This is a PRIME Popeye (after he eats a can of Spinach and until the Spinach wears off...which, according to some, still amounts to a...
:laughing:
True...but Joony did refer to these fighters as "past greats" and I just don't think most of the fighters on this list qualify for that...
I know! It's like arguing over who would win if Popeye and Superman had a fight.:lol:
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
:lol: :lol:
Good post...and right on the money. And there's nothing wrong with being a very good fighter in a good division.
Maybe not at 168, but you yourself rated Jones ABOVE Eubank...so your laughing rings a bit hollow. And if you recall...I said earlier in this...
Good analogy. And to me...the great fighters at least attempt to fight the best available opposition. And it's not always about winning. For...
Ok. I might go as far as very good :lol: . But to me, Eubank was a good (or very good) fighter who was part of the mix of a good division at the...
Jones' & Toney's greatness stem from their entire careers, not just their time at 168. And wasn't Eubank one of those fighters at 168 who...
Nah. He was a good fighter and a title holder...but I wouldn't call him a great fighter. But then I think I might be a little more stingy with the...
Yeah, but the brand new 168 division (and title) was even less respected than Cruiserweight division during Hagler's title reign. And it was much...
How did Arben's post reinforce your post? :dunno:
No way. Hopkins was better than any of Jones' Olympic opponents and fighting for a Pro World Title on HBO is a bigger deal than any amateur title.
I've always thought Leonard-Pryor would be exciting fight...for about 4 or 5 rounds. Pryor was a great fighter at 140 and under but he would be a...
I've heard that last statement before and I'm not sure I agree with it. I could see a shorter slugger type like Joe Frazier (or possibly Marciano)...
:bears: And if Leonard won it would be because he held too much!
