Alexis obviously got confused because he was 22 when he beat Olivares. His points about his experience level and weight making at 126 make sense,...
Saldivar, bitches, Saldivar.
Which weight? 2002 Morales v 2004 Marquez? Morales. 2004 Morales v 2007 Marquez? Marquez.
This matchup upsets me.
Yeah, Roy would just be too quick for Monzon. Hagler? He has the greater pedigree, of course. But I still see Roy out pointing him, much as it...
After the Pryor beatdown, Alexis decides to go back down to Lightweight and defend against one of his two top challengers, Edwin Rosario. Can...
Who would you take at 140, X? Given both of them had significant fights at that weight, a H2H there is intriguing.
I've heard a lot about this fight but never seen it - was it as bad as it was made out to be?
Interesting points, Pea. It's a fair theory and it may well be true. I'm not sure I'd read that much into the Muniz fight - he came in at 142,...
Watched Roberto Duran v Monroe Brooks and Duran v Javier Muniz. Could only find a version of the Brooks fight with half of the rounds...
Roberto Duran v Lou Bizzarro This was the only one of Duran's lightweight title fights I'd never watched in full before and I have to say... it...
Julio Cesar Chavez v Hector Camacho A methodical beatdown from JCC, particularly the last 4 rounds. Camacho showed a lot of heart.
Ernesto Marcel v Antonio Gomez 1: faultless display from Marcel. He looked amazing here. Marcel v Arguello: Cracking fight which showed both...
How much weight do you guys put on the Duran fight? Is it a great win for Duran? Was Marcel just green (presumably Duran in 1970 can be considered...
Bantam - I'd pick Herrera as greater than Pintor. P4P I'd say Pintor marginally due to picking up that title at super bantam. Herrera might be...
No, Philly, wasn't aimed at you - just something I was wondering.
Do you think Pintor would have beaten the versions of Olivares that Herrera beat?
Pains me to say that I think Tyson was at least as good and greater too. Although Pryor's win over Arguello is better than Tyson's over Spinks...
Not overrated enough! Come on, let's bring it back to the early '00s people!
I wouldn't laugh at anyone putting together a serious p4p top 150 - rather you than me, though! For one horrible moment I misread Freddie Welsh...
Other way around, I'd say! Not much in it either way, though.
And Ra's Al-Ghul, of course. That twat isn't allowed anywhere near here. Super cool to see @PhillyPhan69 on here btw!
Dunno if anyone has been in contact with him yet but Amos-san on ESB is a good poster.

He definitely landed on Cervantes but Cervantes always seemed to throw something better back at him.
Great post (apart from the Gomez-Arguello bit obvs - just kidding, but we're just going to have to agree to disagree on that one!).
You're definitely not letting the Gomez over Arguello thing go! Arguello is top 5 for me without much internal debate. Olivares in the 70s is in...
I do know where you're coming from but nah, he's still on my list.
Ok, here's my first attempt with some stats (compiled via Boxrec) to go along with it. Critique away... Greatest fighters of the 1970s (Records...
Should add that only fights that took place during the 1970s (Jan 1st 1970-Dec 31st 1979 for avoidance of doubt... oh wait, it's okay, Ra's...
