Sung Kil Moon
If Canto had been around in the 90s, Lopez wouldn’t have fought him either. The advent of strawweight and junior fly hurt the legacy of the...
I think by the end of this era, I’d expect one of the fighters to be top 5. Galaxy, Watanabe, Gilberto Roman and Moon are the others and Tapia is...
Is Gonzalez top 5, top 10 or lower all-time at super fly/junior bantam?
Gonzalez v Donaire? Is anyone really expecting this? I can see Gonzalez v Inoue as a more exciting matchup but like several have said, there’s...
No, I wouldn’t agree with that. Donaire is not as great as Gonzalez. I’d say it’s the other way round from how you described it.
Any thoughts about his place in the history of the division?
For what it’s worth, I had Gonzalez beating Estrada 116-114 and SSR beating Gonzalez 114-113 but both fights could have gone to either man so I...
We’re talking about a total of 9 fights at the weight so far between 2016 and 2022, which include all three of his losses as a pro. To be ranked...
Well, it was a close fight and he lost it on the cards.
Where do you rank him as his record is now and where would you rank him if he beat Estrada in a rubber match?
Gonzalez-Estrada 3 will happen first before he does anything like move up. If he does manage to beat Estrada next time, though, I hope he hangs...
It was a real surprise to me when I started frequenting boxing forums a few years ago that there were real die-hard fans of Chang and that he was...
Me too. First fight I saw of either of them. From memory, Napoles made no inroads at all against Monzon but it wasn’t a one-sided beating from the...
Gilberto Roman v Santos Laciar 1 The first 8 rounds were super tight and neither fighter gained a clear advantage for more than a round but I...
Miguel Cotto v Shane Mosley 1 10-9 2 9-10 (close) 3 10-10 4 10-9 (close, excellent action) 5 10-9 6 10-9 7 9-10 (Mosley moving more and pot...
Absolutely. It would be a fight with a huge profile and one that the general public would be interested in too. It’s hard to remember in this era...
I don’t disagree about the outcome of May and Pac - I always lent slightly towards May winning, even in 2009-10 when Pac was at his peak. But I...
Started this thread over on ESB but wanted to get your views on this as well. Was thinking about the frustrating era we’re currently in where the...
You’re totally right. That’s what happens when I have a few pints of ale inside me.
We all get (justifiably) pissed off with our countries’ leaders and our governments but it’s important to remember in those moments that we’re not...
A guy who looked like he could reign for a long time before getting beaten in a big upset against… a guy who looked like he could reign for a long...
Khan had a decent career, but, c’mon, he was no Kash Farooq.
I follow the BBC boxing site out of amusement because it is so divorced from the reality of the fights and fighters that they have just been...
He already went that route with the Golovkin fight. He was on a hiding to nothing there. I’d like to see him hang them up too and then he can look...
I’m delighted Brook won and beat him up in the process. Khan has behaved like an intolerable cunt over the past few years and thought he was...
It Jacobs makes the Hall of Fame, I look forward to my nomination in the next few years.
Frazier greater and better.
In terms of title reign length and number of defenses, there are surprising parallels between Gary Russell and Willie Pep. Pep - 6 years, 6...
The two knockdowns he scored in the opening round against Vargas, followed by him running to the corner and celebrating. The fight was pretty far...
