Arbachakov is the best as a pro of the post-communist ex-Soviet region fighters in terms of technical skill and all round ability imo. The most...
A real champion in most other eras type, I tend to think. A fine fighter and probably a nightmare for all stylist and boxer types. If he'd been...
Luis Rodriguez was 5'8 with a 74'' inch reach. Short, compact torso with really long arms. I dunno what Jibaro Perez's reach was, or Tshifhiwa...
Ortiz-Teo Cruz Saldivar-Shibata Controversial maybe because of the size difference, but potentially Pea-Trinidad. Peak Whitaker is a horrible...
I get what you're driving at but I think there's a degree of subjectivity with these things, and for me personally when a world title fight gets...
I haven't given the fight a lot of serious critical thought tbh. My first instinct though is that if Fury can't bully, smother, spoil, roughhouse...
Erm, what that man said. I was trolling/winding up a few mates on fb who are casual fans (but huge Fury fans) saying it was like watching two...
All great shouts thus far barring Hearns-Duran imo. I'd add Saldivar-Ramos Harada-Jofre both times Marcel-Arguello Olivares-Rose Greb-Tunney I,...
Palomino was a good step above Corrales imo. The only edge that Corrales had was p4p power. Corrales gets heavily overrated these days and I loved...
I agree with Irish, there's a difference between not knowing what to do or being clueless and knowing what needs doing but being completely unable...
Grey has nailed it as usual. No proper weight transferrence and his weight usually in his front leg. I get the feeling that had he stayed with...
Ortiz, Monzon, Jofre, Napoles, Sugar Ramos, Ike Williams were all ruthless finishers once they had someone going. Benny Leonard too., and Chavez....
I tend to think that about Olivares tbh. Always thought he was more of Gomez-esque puncher both in style and statistic. Terrific obviously but the...
Arguello-Kobayashi is always my first thought. Jofre-Aoki and RJJ-Hill stick out too.
Cracking post George.
Canizales had some similarities with the more textbook aspects if Duran imo as well as Napoles and Gomez. I'd say that Conteh falls into that...
Marquez vs Pac was my first thought.
Though if I still lived in Barnsley you'd be bang right. Sorry, reyt. This conversation must look mental to the outsiders and foreign folk.
That sounds crass and unseemly George.
Tszyu and Mosely is another debate (and yeah, a legitimate one)but not one I'm interested in at this moment. It's fine to consider Mosley better....
I wish I'd not said owt now.
Saldivar-Ramos and Pac-Barrera. Two fast, hard-punching southpaw underdogs using their fast straight lefts and southpaw rights to the body to...
It's just a very vague grouping in my head with it's own sub levels and tiers tbh, X. A lot of room for manoeuvre so to speak. Its a probably...
Crudely speaking, Harada-Jofre I and Duran-Leonard I. The naturally smaller great swarmer moves up a division to challenge a great complete...
Gonzalez for both imo. Definitely greater. The gap is smaller for better but still in favour of Gonzalez. Just a bit more of a polished skill set...
That's the other thing with Olivares that I like. Not in the instance of Torres, but Olivares just wrecked the shop before he even won the title....
Olivares threw his left hook to the body like he was unexpectedly stabbing a rival gang member in the liver in a Mexican back alley or prison yard...
Griffith-Tiger II. Griffith was still very good and Tiger finished, so not really in with a chance of imo righting the dubious decision of the...
Pimentel and Ricardo Moreno are right up there imo. They both beat a lot of no marks, Moreno especially, but I've always thought a lot can said...
Kenny Lane at 135/140 against most fighters, the same for Eddie Perkins. Freddie Dawson at lightweight going head on with Williams and running him...
Separate names with a comma.
