Interesting one. I'd expect a peak heavyweight Charles (49-50) to be two steps too smart for Patterson and to ultimately outbox him over 15, but...
At 160, I think Jones, although not was complete certainty. Size and Robinson's relative unfamiliarity with how much Jones would make him lead the...

For sure. It's a symbol of the diaspora, it doesn't have much relevance to the irish today. To them Celtic FC & Diaspora irishness generally's a...

Yeah mate, fair question. The footage which exists of both men is definitely more flattering to Joe. It seemed like TV only took an interest once...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqr-wMprjEk Never seen this before. Ezzard Charles was a bad, bad, bad man. I wish more footage existed of him...
Agree it doesn't matter as much, but it still matters. Holmes didn''t impose his size style wise at all, but it still let him hang on even terms...
I'd fancy a knock out over 15, whichever way it goes. I'm sure if they fought 4 or 5 times (why didn't they? :dunno:) neither man would take all...
I'm torn between both view points here. Mercer does have 30lb here and size is a key variable for the reasons cdogg gives....but at the same time...
I think Wallcott was bigger/stronger than Spinks by a fair bit. (I don't think he was very much smaller than Holmes actually.) Again, he trained...
I would certainly expect them to.
Yup, exactly what I see.
Never seen this one done before. Any thoughts?
Well to be clear - my pick is Wallcott to win 4/5. But if he's to win he has to play to his strengths and use his length, jab and legs & make Joe...
True and relevant.
Spinks never fought a heavyweight under 214 and there wasn't a viable contender his handlers might have matched him with as small as Wallcott...
A key point you seem to be missing is that 50s > 20s. By allot. If only (but not only) because all the best guys fought each other and not just...

He's one fight removed from knocking out the 2nd best guy in his division in two rounds. A more impressive feat than your boy's managed for about...
I know. Reality is a cruel personage.:pathetic:
Again....size ALLLLLWAYS matters. Always, always, always. That said, it's not unfeasible that Rocky guts out a close decision here. Mercer ain't...
'Fassbender' :lol: tee hee hee
Duran's more. Think about it!
I like Wallcott's more authoritative punching to win him a decision, I think. Though if they fought say 5 times, Spinks would surely pick up at...
I think you're right. JMM really has no business at welterweight.
Wallcott was allot better than Gene Tunney.
It should be a 15 rounder, but I don't see that that counts against Pac at all, who's got great stamina. I go with Duran on the default basis of...
