Carlos Zarate against Wilfredo Gomez Wilfredo Gomez against Salvador Sanchez ??
Most of the ATGs with tremendous knockout records had more to their game than just power. I mean, I've never seem a more concussive puncher in my...
No way was Acelino Freitas that good.
I know that this isn't the point being made, but did Spinks ever really 'look' good? His style was aesthetically awkward even at his peak. He...
Just watched Hopkins-Tito in remembrance. A hard fight for me to watch as I was a big Tito fan. I didn't get to see the fight at the time as I'd...
I know Julio Cesar Chavez must have scored a fair few stoppages with bodyshots but I just can't think of which ones at the moment...
I remember the massive disappointment of that fight. An inconclusive result (in as much as it didn't clear up who was really the best out of the...
Watched Wilfredo Gomez v Dong Kyung Yum. Gomez's title winning effort that started the best reign in super bantam history. Gomez had a shaky start...
There's only one way that Triller could sink even lower on digging up all-time greats from the past and getting them to fight.... The Triller in...
Any fight that ends with Haye KOed is a beautiful fight.
That's quite a statement. Not saying it's not true but there's a heck of a lot of talent to choose from.
Vicente Saldivar?
Boxing pros react to disgraceful Holyfield-Belfort Triller fight
My notes on the fight: "Miguel Cotto v Antonio Margarito 2 Cotto dominated this one. Stoppage was a shame but wouldn't have impacted the result...
The fucked up thing about this thread is I'm not sure if it's X just riffing or these are legitimate Trump quotes.
I remember Glenn McCrory once comparing Danny Romero to a young Roberto Duran.
The Merqui Sosa fight at super middleweight. Not particularly memorable as a contest but the way he landed the punch that put Sosa down just stays...
I think Castillo won quite handily as well. No wonder there was a riot.
Has anyone tried scoring Chuco Castillo v Lionel Rose? @Xplosive? @George Crowcroft? @scartissue? @roughdiamond? I got lost on which round was...
Watched Gene Fullmer-Benny Paret, a great if increasingly one-sided fight. Benny Paret was too tough for his own good. Whether this fight...
September 25th - anyone else actually looking forward to this one and who have you got?
Watched Ezzard Charles KO Bob Satterfield in 2. To be fair to Satterfield, he won the first round and landed some bombs on Charles but then he...
I think it was Carlos Eleta who didn't want Duran to fight Cervantes. I'm sure Duran would have fought him in a heartbeat if Eleta had actively...
Yeah, I've seen the clip but not the fight. He also beat Saoul Mamby around 140 a short time before the Villa fight. I've no doubt Duran would...
Yeah, that's the one I found.
Fighting Harada v Johnny Famechon 1 I had this wide. I can see it closer if I gave Famechon a couple of the close rounds that went to Harada - I...
@George Crowcroft - did you see the first fight in full? Haven't been able to locate that.
Better? It is Napoles. And yes, he beats Chavez at 140 but Chavez would be Napoles's toughest fight at the weight. Napoles might even beat Duran...
Ben Villaflor against Kuniaki Shibata if I''m remembering it correctly. That was almost identical to the Pac-Hatton one, just about three decades...
I think the temptation here is to say Chavez is greater and Napoles is better but I don't think it is as obviously clear cut as that. Let's deal...
