I disagree. Take Tito out of the 154 lb division at that time, and HBO was easily angling for a Vargas-Reid fight. They were always in love w/...
Zab dominates early, falls apart midway through, but rallies back enough to take a close decision. That's against the best available version of...
That's a possibility. Though the difference is, Tarver ballooned up to HVY while filming Rocky, whereas Floyd is not only the best conditioned...
I agree that Floyd is taking Hatton lightly as well. That said, though, for those who base it solely on his participating on DWTS, then I'll argue...
Maybe Cupey watched Shane-DLH II w/ Tom Kaczmareck and has first hand knowledge of his scorecard. :dunno:

it was tumbleweed. it is now pointless, though.
This year's worst also warrants mention - Demetrius Hopkins-Stevie Forbes.

Augustus-Burton is probably the worst in recent memory. DLH-Sturm was pretty damn bad as well.. Pintor-Zarare was so embarrassing that even Jose...

Exactly. I don't think any of the aforementioned has aged gracefully, especially Mosley. Shane was able to come back strong (somewhat), but looked...
Randall was the better boxer, but Phillips had better one-punch power. Both had suspect chins, both relied on straight rights as their money...
Shane, in a performance more comparable to the first fight than the rematch.
I wasn't disputing the claim that it was a close fight, just noting that your post was the closest anyone in the thread came to agreeing with CYC,...
it actually had more to do w/ Taylor "beating" Hopkins a few weeks later, thereby proclaiming Floyd #1 by default
Wow, he also had Ricardo Lopez up by 3 pts in the first fight w/ Alvarez.
yes. I had him up 3-1 at the time of the stoppage.
ok, you're right. no argument here let it be said that Rob Base, Young MC and Tone Loc were also part of the gangsta rap era.
Gatti was down on his stool when he quit against Floyd :lol: (excuse me, when McGirt stopped the fight)
wow, this is a tough one. I honestly cannot decide between the two.
"Gatti lost because of the ring entrance" That was pretty funny to see, though.
yeah, but Gatti actually had a few decent moments in that fight. Whereas he didn't have any against Floyd, Gomez and arguably against Baldomir either
My Dad will be 58 next week. He's a few years younger than Tom Kaczmareck.
he was around back then, but it doesn't make him part of the same genre.
It's between Floyd and Gomez, as Gatti didn't win a round against either of them. (I think I gave him one round against Baldomir). I pick Floyd...
