This was Merchant's characterization of the first PBF/Castillo fight. And I think it was apt. What other fights deserve this label?
Recently watched Sisters Brothers with Pheonix and Riley. Directed by some French director, taking place during the gold rush. Really good movie!...
Brawls where guys just load up with haymaker after haymaker. A good example I'd forgotten about but watched recently was Cintron vs. T. Reid. Guys...
I feel like Cintron would be the way bigger guy. But still, Thurman hits hard, no doubt. On the other hand, Thurman's strength as a...
Maidana have any chance?

Good fight tonight on NBC. Machado vs. Fiero.
These are top matchups running out of time.... Inou vs. Rigondeaux Navarrette vs. Russell Charlo vs. GGG Kovolev vs. Bivol Pacquiao vs. Crawford
My understanding is his career was derailed by a back injury. But in retrospect, his KO of Jacobs looks pretty impressive. Very educated lefthand....
Seems like Austin would have to be the favorite here. His range, power and handspeed would no doubt be a handful for Tapia. Tapia's own handspeed...
In the collective mind of the public, which fighter in history is the poster boy for each division? This shouldn't be as difficult (although it's...
According to boxingscene there are fights tonight on "nbc." Anyone know where/how one would watch these fights?
Wlad - excessive holding Whitaker - holding and hitting Hopkins - holding and hitting Holyfield - head-butts Golota - low-blows Lewis - leaning on...
Reyes vs. Bocachica Two hungry youngins battled it out. One of those violent chess matches.
Was watching Taylor vs. Wright again recently and this matchup occurred to me. Jacobs is maybe technically better but Taylor was the gutsier...
These are wins that seem to be glossed over or outshined by the fighter's other accomplishments, but when you look at them in isolation, they're...
Hadn't seen it for a long time. Still a very compelling movie. Free on Prime right now.
These would be epic matchups of non-elite yet notable Mexican fighters. An example that comes to mind is Vargas vs. Salido. Others?
Kevin Kelley - Gainer Gatti - Ruelas, Rodriguez Ward - Sanchez, Green, etc. Others?
This fight should've happened. Most will no doubt pick Bowe. But the thing is, Moorer could straight up crack ..... one of the hardest punchers of...
As fans, we usually have in mind what a good fighter looks like. Fast hands. Quick feet. Good power. Good technique. Together, these things imply...
Battle of southpaws. I think Stevie's footwork and volume would cause problems for Casamayor. Plus his jab! And I wouldn't foresee Casamayor being...
This topic was inspired by the Khan/Locche mythical matchup. What are some others you think fall into this category? In which you'd possibly pick...
Who wins? Seems like McCallum's tools might just be enough to overcome Nunn's amazing talent.
Thoughts?
If I were a heavyweight champ, I'd be pissed. WBC Prez To Lower Cruiser Limit To 190, Which Will Force Boxers To Bridgerweight
Holyfield comes to mind. Also, Rosario maintained a fairly constant little bounce. What other fighters bounced around the ring?
What are some notable fights in which the winner seemed beaten only to come back and win, whether by knockout or decision? With knockouts, ones...
Seems like Lopez's speed would be a factor. But Castillo's pressure would surely wear on Lopez as the fight goes on. Thoughts?
