My pick would be Trinidad with his size and accurate punching. Then again, I can see Floyd using his legs a lot, going at angles, leaping in...
De La Hoya-Vargas was an excellent fight, the most exciting of De La Hoya's big fights....I'd be very pleased if Trinidad-De La Hoya II were on...
It wasn't the punches that hit air that looked like they landed when they didn't. It was the shots that De La Hoya parried with his high guard....
Well said.
I agree. I've seen a lot of fights better than Hagler-Hearns. But as I said before, Hagler-Hearns might be higher on my list if I had seen it...
No, Floyd should stay active. "Fighters fight". It's bad enough that the sport's biggest star is already a part-time fighter. Now we'd have...
I'm pretty sure you had it a draw or Mayweather by a point. I remember thinking, "CYC must really hate Mayweather or like Judah".
Didn't Jim Watt have Gatti beating Baldomir when it was stopped?
I don't know about that. What exactly is a HOF worthy career in boxing? It's not like the standards are high.
I would love to see Mayweather and Mosley fight. Unfortunately, there is too much money in a rematch with Mayweather and De La Hoya and that's...
I don't think this one fight makes or breaks it for Floyd's standing. I wasn't very impressed and think he needs more work to do...but outside of...
Alright....but I think you're being biased and have double-standards.
According to Compubox, Oscar threw more. I don't trust Compubox when it comes to accuracy of punches landed at all (Floyd didn't land 200...
:rolleyes: I asked you four times to name 10 guys that should rank above Floyd at 130. All you kept saying was "what bout greats? what about...
Floyd threw less punches than Oscar. Floyd was more accurate, although that's not saying much, as both guys did excellent jobs on defense.
You didn't respond. I asked you four times to name 10 guys who should rank higher at 130. http://fightbeat.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16227...
De La Hoya did a good job of parrying. I was pretty impressed. However, his offense was even worse than Floyd's was.
No, I asked you to name ten guys ranked higher than Floyd at 130 several times. You never responded. Only Tam and Rubio came with a list.
Actually, it's your anti-Floyd arguments that should stop and that are ridiculous. Floyd did not impress, his offense was mediocre, but claiming...
:lol: :lol: :laughing: Oscar fought well and it was a competitive fight, but Mayweather still landed the cleaner shots and deserved the win....
Corrales-Castillo I. Maybe my opinion would be different if I saw Hagler-Hearns live and it being a megafight. Corrales-Castillo still had...
One of my favorites. I've not been in a happy mood today. He died two years to the day after his biggest victory.
1. Roberto Garcia 2. Justin Juuko 3. Acelino Freitas 4. Joshua Clottey 5. Jose Luis Castillo II 6. Angel Manfredy That damn Jay Nady robbed us...
Events: 1) De La Hoya-Mayweather 2) De La Hoya-Trinidad 3) De La Hoya-Hopkins 4) Trinidad-Hopkins I guess...1 and 2 are pretty close.
I don't see how one fight can do that. Oscar is past his prime, but it's not like Floyd is really suited to fight at 154. We saw what can happen...
One of the greats of this era. No one really stands out from the rest, IMO. The controversial nature of some of his biggest fights against the...
Hatton used to be fun to watch, but lately he's been too much of mini-Ruiz. It may be good because of the up-close in fighting and body...
Yeah I thought it was a waste of time. That's Floyd's best weight where he's one of the best ever at, and Oscar was green there and fought there...
There's been a lot of guys who had boxing skills but too much of a brawling temperment once they got tagged hard. Mayweather is smart and fights...
I know, that's what I always thought. I wanted Mosley to just say "I want to fight Floyd but I have to listen to my boss Oscar" instead of...
