Intelligence isn't one of yours. How you can compare DLH to the CHavez fighting Whitaker shows it.
It's a terrible comparison though. DLH had fought once in two years and had lost as many as he won in the past few years as well. Chavez was...
Chavez old? He was considered the best fighter, pound for pound, in the world when they fought.
If you asked me before the fight, I would've said he would get KTFO. Watching the fight though, it looked like he could've KO'ed Oscar had he...
I get you, although I think there are very few fighters who can be rated above Jones, great talent or not. Furthermore, there have been plenty of...
Talent = Potential, unless realized. There's been a lot of great talent over the years. How many accomplished what Jones did?
'93 Hopkins didn't lose again until 200...sh*t, some say he hasn't lost since. He probably entered his prime around '95 but Jones hadn't hit...
Yeah...it woulda been Tito-Hopkins II. Oscar was slowing down pretty bad...it would have gotten ugly QUICK. Oscar made an exit as soon as possible.
Don't know about that. Floyd landed two consecutive rights in round 5. One got Oscar's attention but he threw a combo right back...and walked into...
Agreed. Jones/Hopkins>>>>Castillo/Corrales
Jones has a better resume but Floyd can surpass him if he keeps fighting. Big IF.
His title winning effort against Garcia. I remember thinking, "damn, this guy is getting f*cked up!" He beat the sh*t out of Garcia the last...
Clearly he's better than what the general public thought. But how much stock do you put in those victories?
The old go to death, death comes to the young. What a career he had, in such a short time period. Will never forget his junior lightweight days,...
Castillo has definitely slowed - he's looked like less than stellar in his last two. Too bad Hatton isn't that good. I give Ricky the edge but...
I actually think it'll be exciting. Winky may not have pop but he comes forward and stays busy. I'm interested in seeing how Hopkins solves the...
LOL. Don't waste your time. On another note, what a sh*tty list. Barrera ahead of Pea, Jones & Hops?? Wow.
Way to dampen Floyd's victory. De La Hoya? A modern great, at best. Definitely not all-time and not the best of his time either.
Where do we disagree again?
Good question. Winky's racked up an impressive amount of names. Throw Hopkins in the mix and they all have one thing in common - most were well...
Ahh yes - and he recommended Floyd fight Margarito.
Actually, I think he's done less. At 130 he was incredible. Same for 135 - in fact, I thought he performed VERY well against Castillo BOTH times....
When was this date offered to Shane??
Wright didn't look too hot to me against Ike. Throw in the weight gain and he may not be as fast/slick as he was at 154-60. Hopkins is one fighter...
If they flurried a little bit more in the twelfth, someone woulda got KTFO. I'm betting Oscar.
Yeah, Floyd has disappointed since he moved up to 140. Can't really blame him - he saw a whole bunch of guys with lesser talent making way more...
I see. I thought you meant solid all-time greats all in one. DLH being an all-time great is QUITE debatable but I won't go there with you.
Yeah, I'm a little surprised by the controversy. It was nap and tuck through the first nine but, even then, I had Mayweather slightly ahead. From...
Agreed. Mayweather hasn't quite accomplished what Hopkins & Jones did.
Separate names with a comma.
