I'm currently putting a list together but interested in what everyone thinks in terms of contenders for a top 10 and an order if you have one....
Antonio Cervantes beating Esteban DeJesus. I'm not posting this in the scorecard thread as the version I saw on YT was missing three rounds. I...
I was just trying to make my own shortlisting easier ;) :crafty:
The other thing is the determination of "latin" fighters. It's a thorny issue but I would tend to exclude American latin fighters like Manuel...
Starting to think a top 10 is nigh on impossible. Leaving Saldivar out is actually causing me pain.
Interested in the arguments for Gavilan over Napoles. It's not unreasonable at all, just trying to work it out.
Is that in reverse order, George?
Yep, Arguello faced more high quality contenders than Gomez imo. The standouts for Gomez were Zarate and Pintor without a doubt. Davila was at the...
Another thing worth noting about Arguello in comparison to Gomez when it comes to title dominance - between 1974 and 1982 (before he faced Pryor...
Gomez had an argument as p4p no. 1 in the late 70s/beginning of the 80s as X has already stated - his win over Zarate was monumental - and that is...
I voted yes - soz. Not sure I even think that either!
Matthew Saad Muhammad v Yaqui Lopez 2 An incredible war in two main parts. From round 2 on, Lopez boxed beautifully while Saad encouraged him by...
Marco Antonio Barrera v Erik Morales 3 Great fight - yes, maybe not as great as their first one but a fitting finale for their series and once...
I don't disagree with that. The first 10-11 rounds were close. The only thing that I'm sure of is Pintor stepped it up in the championship rounds.
Lupe Pintor v Alberto Davila 2 After 10 rounds, I had this absolutely even with nothing between the two fighters. Over the first 10 rounds, I...
Edwin Rosario v Howard Davis Excellent, competitive fight in which the challenger gave the champ all he could handle and nearly pulled the win...
Jose Luis Ramirez v Edwin Rosario 2 I needed to watch a fight like this - a classic Mexico-Puerto Rico clash in the dusk in an outdoor ring in...
No one really ducked him.
I remember that. I think it was Boxing News that did a brilliant piss-take report on the Tszyu-Urkal and Judah-Vester fights about the way the...
Agreed. And he'd have lost to Hearns too imo.
Good little fight this - Davila was excellent here. Weird to think that these two fought twice but 10 years apart. I need to watch the second one now!
Finally got round to watching Harada-Medel 2 yesterday for the first time. I thought Harada was brilliant and won this widely. Medel fought pretty...
Here's my card: Marcos Maidana v Erik Morales Wicked fight which I had deceptively wide for Maidana but this was really competitive - rounds 7...
Yeah, I've seen that one. Think I looked for the Pinder-Herrera one before when I was going through my 70s Mexican bantam phase...
I had a look about but couldn't find it.
Oscar had stamina issues his whole career - I guess some of it can be attributed to making weight but not all.
Your nan is awesome.
What is the most significant boxing memorabilia you own? It doesn't have to be ultra rare or historically important, just something that is...
Roman Gonzalez v Juan Estrada 1 Watched and scored this one when I was way too tired so can't vouch for my scorecard but Gonzalez won, of that...
Which fight, George? Dorsey-Medina?
Separate names with a comma.
