I think Mosley would have a fair chance at either weight. Not now, obviously.
There's no magic at play here. Athletes are getting better because strength, conditioning & diet changes and improves. In every sport apart from...
Herbie Hide.
The smartest, most hetreosexual man on fightbeat:clapagain:
Wait, let me just bask in this, it'll be about 3 years before you type that again....:mj:
Joe dominates hairy bums.
Calzaghe's shit.
Manny would run into Harisson's stationary glove and KO himself. Harisson would call out Klitschko and say he's finally got him act together and...
They're only so well known because they're heavyweights. That's what distorts people's perceptions slightly in these things. Say 'Young, Lyle,...

Roy Jones lost to the only rangey milk dud headed southpaw he ever fought....
Agree to disagree.
As I've said Im judging on peak ability. 94 Jones is definitely more beatable by more fighters than 90 Whitaker, IMO. Just how I see it.
Jones wasn't as good as some people think. As i said, I think he's a far more beatable fighter than Whitaker.
Toney was always on with a guy who came towards him throwing. And never quite on when a guy got on his bike and made him lead.
Can you imagine De jesus being decimated in 2 rounds and knocked down 37 times in the process by ANY lightweight? Frazier was a terrific fighter,...
Suppose it comes down to whether you wanna define the decade as an historical period or define the fighters relative to each other. Different ways...
No, you rank them among fighters of the 80s, along with Whitaker, Chavez & Holyfield. Guys who won their first world title in the 80s. There's no...
How is that fair to guys who won titles in the mid 80s or 90s whos resume is evenly spread between two decades? Judging guys whole career based...
I think Roy Jones is a far more beatable fighter than Whitaker. Jones was the most physically gifted fighter of the decade, but not the best, IMO.
Estaban De Jesus & Ken Buchanan are the equal of any Ali opponent not named 'Foreman' in the 70s.
I find these lists too problematic because everyone will come with different criteria. Do you JUSt judge a guys body of work in that decade? Do...
I always liked Duran to eek out a contentious decision in that one. I don't think it'd be a particularly satisfying bout to watch.
I tend to just exclude everyone prior the the 30s because segregation makes judging guys too difficult. Plus I don't think the sport matured...
I'll reserve judgement on Pac & Floyd until they fight/retire. If Floyd schools the shit out of Pac allot of things are gonna change in our...
But yeah I think Ali was/is better & greater than Jofre and Ali was at his peak int he 60s. So yeah, Ali is the best fighter of the 60s. Duran...
Oh fuck it, I dunno. Lets just agree they were all really, really good, ok?:lol:
If people haven't even seen or investigated anybody prior to 1978 they should just probably refrain from posting. Nah'm sayin'????
^ What Sly said. Chavez is undisputably top 30.
Martinez use of range & relatively quick feet gives Toney some difficulties. I can see that being surprisingly close.
Separate names with a comma.
