More than anything, this thread illustrates that the distinction, undefeated champion, doesn't mean shit.
No. Didn't say that. But when the author is trying to make the case that they "do" in fact fight top competition, but doesn't bother to...
What I hate about this article, and the media's treatment of Wladimir and Vitali in general, is that the two are lumped together, as if they're...
Did Hearns expose SRL's weakness against tall, powerful and talented boxers? Did Sanchez expose Gomez's reckless aggression? Did Vitali expose...
He also nearly beat Lewis and knocked out Morrison. When are you going to understand - citing a loss is not a sound argument.
Mercer's jab, a nice short powerful jab, wins this fight. He'd probably stop Jones against the ropes.

he's Jewish. what do you expect. he was also on NPR a while back, on Fresh Air. Ha ha.

bottom line: equating speed and stance with size, as if both things should be treated the same is just stupid. especially considering boxing is...
Do you think PBF would've stunk the joint out if Baldomir hadn't been a true welterweight?
In no particular order: Mark Johnson JM Marquez James Toney Mike McCallum Sugar Ray Leonard Roberto Duran Jose Napoles Ricardo Lopez Oscar De La...

shhhhh !!! although, i am interested to see Broadway Joe's and cdogg's responses, both of whom strike me as sentimental history whores.
the difference here is statistically significant for sure.
