Switching it up, Hamed had one attribute that was great and that was his power. But he relied too heavily on it and didn’t work hard enough in...
He turned pro in the slipstream of De La Hoya’s success so he was being marketed heavily as another Latino crossover star. I remember The Ring...
Well, he had two if we’re talking about chin and temperament.
Me too. Tszyu is the only one I would consider great and that’s within the parameters of the jnr welterweight division.
These are my top 4 in order: 1. Alexis Arguello vs Aaron Pryor 1 2. Bobby Chacon vs Rafael Limon 4 3. Wilfredo Gomez vs Lupe Pintor 4. Salvador...
Me too.
I’m not sure that’s possible. I’m like… really, really stunned.
I was stunned when I heard the news.
I’d put them all inside the top 30 all time with Hagler ever so slightly above Pac and Sweet Pea. When you look at Hagler’s record, he lost a...
You bastards. Now I’m going to have watch Duran-Leonard 1 again. FML.
Watched Joffre-Harada 1 again. Obviously a brilliant fight. Maybe the best full fight on film between two legit ATGs facing each other in their...
Stylistically, I think this fight suits Arguello. Armstrong will be taking the fight to Alexis. While that is exactly what Pryor did, this is a...
This thread isn’t making me want to spend more time watching guys like Crawford and Spence.
Excellent write up, Reed. It was a great fight but the aftermath makes it hard to watch for me now. At the time, though, when I watched it live it...
No question who the greater fighter is but what about at this weight - who do you think would take it?
Good analogy.
I don’t know about that. He wanted to be entertained and when he was, he said it and when he wasn’t, he said that too. He had an antipathy for...
Yeah, that's right, it was Jofre, Leonard and Michael Nunn hanging out at Leonard's gaff.
That's really hard to imagine! Cool to hear, though.
My feeling is that Benn genuinely disliked Eubank and after the Watson thing, that added fuel to the fire but then after the McClellan fight it...
Kaylor-Christie is a terrific fight - a proper grudge match where they took it out on each other in the ring. Well worth a watch, X.
Shame they never fought.
Yeah, that's where I saw him first.
Rewatched Rodrigo Valdez v Bennie Briscoe 2. A great fight - lots of clean punching, furious flurries and a dynamite KO at the end (technically...
No, he definitely didn't. As Reed says, he was really likeable. I think all the reasons you stated in your previous post were good reasons to...
I've seen his fights with Duran, Shibata, Gomez and Arguello. Are there any other fights of his available? From those fights, he looked amazing...
Just wondering what made you think Pavlik was going to beat Taylor, X? And did the fight play out like you thought it would?
Yeah, I'd go with Napoles for greatness. Top 5 welter trumps no. 1 jnr featherweight when you also factor in he was a top flight jnr welter too....
I agree but I think round 10 of Chavez-Taylor was the best round of either fight.
I think on TV they also had Victor Galindez against Marvin Johnson live from New Orleans on the same night as well.
