Maybe it's more to do with aesthetically-pleasing styles (which is also subjective). I mean, Terry Norris looked amazing for a while and passed...
McGuigan beat Pedroza so he probably was better but Mancini had the better career.
Sandy Saddler is a possible too.
Spinks is a good one. His style was awkward-looking but he was a nightmare for almost everybody he faced.
This is a very good comp on left hand KOs and includes almost all the classics: [MEDIA]
Oh, and this one too: [MEDIA]
This has to be mentioned as well: [MEDIA]
I think the durability of Tiger makes it a more impressive KO than the Quarry one. But Sugar Ray's is still the greatest.
Which fighters stand out in this regard?
P4P, I'd probably have Monzon inside the top 30 and Arguello outside it. Better? Hard to argue against a guy who went unbeaten in over 80 fights...
Yeah, I always thought Monzon was really likeable too.
Yep, terrific scrap.
Great stuff as always, Scar.

It was pretty much 20 great years, from 1960-ish to 1980-ish. Nuts. And how many of those guys from that time period are in the all-time...
The two modern founders of their respective weight classes. Both dominated for the better part of a decade and legitimized the junior weights with...
I always thought those leaping hooks of Hagler's were to compensate for a lack of reach, but turns out he just liked putting everything into his...
Really good fight and a tremendous KO. Not a bad card to attend! Becerra and Halimi fought twice and this is their second fight. Couldn't find...
Just watched Sugar Ramos v Floyd Robertson. Looked like an incredible war but unfortunately there's only about two thirds of the fight shown. Does...

Jung Koo Chang v Humberto Gonzalez?
Damn, so you did.
What about Carlos Ortiz v Ken Buchanan?
Not sure if this one has been done before. The best middleweight of the 80s against arguably the best middleweight of the following years....
They were neck and neck from 2000-2004 in terms of who was better and greater. I might give Morales the slight edge in both too but there's fuck...
Those three fights were all really close. I had Barrera winning the first, Morales winning the second and the third fight even.
Only just saw that he passed away a couple of dsys ago - he was 89. Involved in one of my top 10 favourite fights, his incredible battle with...
Ridiculous performances. I don't know which was the best although Benitez had no right being that good at that young and beating an absolutely top...
Nope. He'll be back. And I give him a good chance of winning against some sub-Fury/Usyk level opposition.
I think the problem these days (and it may have always been the case, but maybe not to this extreme) is that everyone is always trying to sell the...
