If he's going to fight those chumps he may as well go back to Europe. Beating them wouldn't impress anyone and no one would look forward to the...
So he's the best middleweight of the era but he shouldn't unify or become lineal champion because he runs the risks of making lots of money and...
I never saw that fight. Some say it was on cuts, some say Castillo was stopped on his feet.
If a magic machine made Corrales and Mayorga "average" punchers and made them the same size would you pick Corrales based on his skills? Of course...
Anything Corrales did well was offense. Anything that wasn't offense he did poorly. It wasn't that he didn't do other things as well as his...
I agree. I'd take Corrales over Canelo for the same reason I'd take Canelo over Castillo; the skill gap wouldn't make up for the firepower gap and...
Mma has a legit market as a legit sport but that's pretty small compared to the social media sustaining it as a "thing". People aren't...
I didn't give LeMoo any chance. He never impressed before he lost, he looked shitty in his losses and his status as a contender is based on...
And casual fans who generally think Floyd has a boring style bought his fights time after time because social media made it a "thing". The same...
Williams could obviously be outboxed, outfoxed and countered so it wouldn't be logical to pick him over Floyd in a theoretical match up. Would've...
He was more skilled in some ways, less skilled in others and a lot less talented. Canelo isn't Trinidad or anything but I don't see Someone like...
Overall, I agree. Castillo seemed like a threat to spoil any boxer and impose a rough fight. But there's nothing to impose on Canelo who's been...
They both seem pretty packed into their weight classes. Castillo was a lot better at imposing his strength and making it a rough physical fight....
He was good but he just wasn't potent enough as an inside fighter or tough guy to make up for the skill gap. He had subtle skills that set him...
Actually it wasn't even a catch weight. He made the light heavyweight champ come to super middle. Now he wants the middleweight champ to come up...
What makes it even worse is that the last relevant thing Ward did was stopping the ghost of the light heavyweight champion at a catch weight.
Nah. Castillo never really beat the shit out of anybody except Cezar Bazan. Alvarez would be too sharp and strong in close.
So his defenses don't matter because of multiple titles but you don't want him to unify the division against the winner of a match for the lineal...
It just wouldn't make sense for GGG to rack up a near record number of defenses, get the support of HBO and be on the cusp of being a big star;...
GGG always had potential with his amateur pedigree. Training Pac from the wild man he was into the precise punching machine he had to be to win at...
Ray Leonard fought in the 70's and 80's. Terry Norris fought in the 80's and 90's. Ray Leonard fought Terry Norris. Were they part of the same...
Pavlik gets stretched. Gets hit too often and too clean.
The guys you named aren't part of the "2000-2010" era. If they were xplosive wouldn't have said this era is certainly better. I doubt he thinks...
You're being argumentative. It's obvious no one is saying the era of Tito, Roy and DLH was a weak era. We're talking about the era after then. The...
The mid 90's to the early 2000's was its own era defined by DLH, Tito, Roy, morales, MAB etc. All of those guys were from the 90's. Some of their...
Canelo is too stubby and slow on his feet to deal with GGG's jab. His t-Rex arms give Golovkin lots of options in exchanges.
Whatever name you want to give the eras they fought in, they were all part of an era. We're talking about the era that followed that one. An "era"...
It seems weird that Inoue jumped from 108 to 115 tho.
By comparison nobody hypes Antwon Echols, Robert Allen or Syd Vanderpool; nor will they. I think there's a reason.
I'm glad we finally agree HW's suck. The second best era of the last 50 years was an objectively weak era.
