Mosley's an underrated puncher, IMO. Not a elite puncher but a better one than most people acknowledge
Nah man, no thanks. Part of me's playing devil's advocate coz I like Canelo's approach. You can see him thinking in there, he's slow and he's...
Ah right, good memory. Didn't remember that, might well have contributed too. Either way even if he was at 100% he took one heeeeel of a...
you talking about Mosley coming in over the limit?
boderline blasphemous, maybe, but I think a 147 Mosley & 160 Robinson are comparable punchers. Robinson threw about twice as many punches which...
Lamotta got similarly stopped against a 160 Robinson, Bonavera got full KTFOd against Ali. Take enough bombs off a good puncher you get stopped
Tony deserves all the hate he gets, but his chin is pretty excellent.
Agreed - I just beat you to basically the same point. Against a stationary target Tito's hands were fast enough, mind.
Yeah Tito's hands were fast once they were moving. It's just that he tended to have to lean right onto the lead foot to get leverage on his hook,...
:) Even Shuler backed him up for the first 60s until Hearns landed a good one and noticed how much it hurt him. That would have been the general...
Maybe I just subconsciously wanted to see the cunt blinded :crafty:
Mex, have a wee breath, mate. Even Ayn Rand saw a place for a little human generosity/solidarity.
Hearns was never highlight reel center-ring Hearns against other tall guys. He boxed outside.
He'll definitely never have Cotto's speed. That's certainly true.
Pretty weak logic. Canelo lost 1 round and stopped Gomez 1 round later. They're the only two men to ever beat Gomez that convincingly. I won't...
Nobody's saying it'd make all the difference in the world, they're just saying whats the point of speculating on it, here?
Yup, it's right up there.
He wouldn't win a round against Hearns. Not a single one. But he'd make Hearns decide to box. It'd be his easiest/least risky route to victory....
Not well. Tito isn't half the fighter Hearns is but I think he'd beat Tony more quickly and more eye catchingly since he'd be more comfortable...
Hearns would win by stoppage but there are plenty fighters he fought who didn't end up needing smelling salts and several weren't as big or tough...
There's also a large difference in size between Cuevas & Margarito. I see this playing out more like the McKraken fight than the Cuevas fight.
Same old Cotto
I watched it on sosoboxing about 8 hours ago. :dunno: *edit vid's down. First time that's happened, probably be back up soon
I'll be unfashionable and say I give Canelo a fighting chance.
He'd certainly stop him at some point. Margarito might last 6 or 8 though, he does seem to have a downies punishment threshold.
Fair point.
Gays can be tough, too
Arum's a fucking pecker.
Id be tempted to go myself. Been itching for an excuse to go to NYC for ages and this'd be a good one :Thumbs:
It'd make it feel like much more of a two-way promotion - kinda like Hatton having 20k Mancunians in Vegas did.
