Based strictly on styles, and no political influence factored in - I'd probably take Johnson by very close decision against the Lopez prior to...
There's no hindsight about it. Martinez was willing to fight Zbik. HBO told him cold they wouldn't accept the fight, but still wanted him on the...
that's because you're the last remaining fan who still swears by the sanctioning bodies. No offense by that, but seriously, how was Sergio...
I had Golota beating Byrd by 2 pts, I believe. I recall having Oquendo beating Byrd by a wider margin, although in a far less watchable fight....
If its going to be a case where once again only HBO and Showtime main events will be considered, then I'll pass. For example, the current schedule...
I'd say the past decade spent arguing just who in fact is/was the man at 175 kind of kicks a hole in that theory. I can just as easily argue...
Even the textbook definition of the word doesn't apply here. Nobody was clamoring for a Lewis-Byrd fight, nor has it ever been suggested that...
He didn't duck Byrd at all. King literally paid for the title. He paid Lewis cash and bought him a car (I want to say Range Rover) in exchange for...
Didn't HBO announcers have the rematch a draw (or at least a closer fight than the first one). Thought I remember Roy saying at the end of the...
You're very, very, very wrong on Byrd.
The answer is Wlad and it's not open for debate. if you want to argue who beats who, that's fine and I too would pick Vitali. But in terms if...
I'd like to see it for the reasons I mentioned. Plus, Floyd would most likely go up to 154 for the fight, and not demand Cotto come in at 148 or...
In order: PBF/Cotto - Quite frankly, the only fight that interests me out of the eight mentioned. Was the fight that Floyd wanted years ago,...
rated correctly Devon Alexander
Alvarez is the "easiest" big payday, but a Floyd fight would give him a proper retirement fund, and really no reason to ever fight again - which...
Paulie's mad cool, and it actually becomes contagious among other fighters in seeing the way he carries himself. I don't know Ortiz...
Not even counting when he completely fell off: - his HBO debut (v. Obed Sullivan) left a lot to be desired - his next HBO fight (v. Jesse...
I can think of at least half-dozen stinkers that Rahman has produced, or at least has been a part of. He had his share of fun fights, but...
And while the stoppage was terrible, I thought Taylor was going to get rid of him later that round. He was throwing in combination for the first...
I've never been a Taylor fan, but I honestly couldn't disagree with you more. He didn't look like a world-beater by any stretch, but "shot to...
Two-shay!
Trinidad for sure at 154. I don't even think it would be competitive. Forrest poses greater problems at 147, but I can see Trinidad overcome a...
undergoing REMEDIAL training - as in, being retrained. Judges are supposed to be required to take/retake the judges seminar prior to being...
Rescheduled for March 24 in Houston
My beef w/ Huck getting a HVY title fight (paper or otherwise) is that he's not exactly a dominant cruiserweight champ, plus he looks pretty damn...
I find it hysterical that Atlas puts Pacquiao on blast for "avoiding" a Mayweather fight when he's blatantly avoided putting his guy in against. A...
Depends on who you mean by "most." The Ring sanctioned it in efforts to boost declining sales, but most other people considered the title...
Great minds... and all that.
Ellis was never lineal champ. I'd replace him w/ Braddock, who was actually one of the first I thought of when I saw the thread title.
Way to read through the thread :lol: Ramonza if you're going to do a thread like this, at least provide a cheat sheet. Working in reverse:...
