I don't particularly like Canelo and Saunders is from my hometown... and I still want Canelo to kick his ass.
To be honest, I wasn't totally sure that Leoncio was still alive.
Well, both won titles against ageing greats by 4th round KOs. Foster dominated his division but against not particularly amazing competition....
Alfredo Escalera - El Salsero Joking aside, he did actually fight with an interesting kind of rhythm.
Shit, yeah. That could have equally been no. 1!
My top 5 looks pretty similar to everyone else's so far. Apologies for the lack of originality. 1. Jose Duran 2. Roger Leonard 3. Bobby Pacquiao...
Only full fights that I've seen are listed. And yeah, I cheated a bit but only where it was too painful to choose one fight over another that I...
Yep, sad but very true.
It's incomprehensible to me how he could have gone 45-0 against that level of opposition. Armstrong holding three of the 8 world titles...
This thread is gold!
Not much in it. Hearns' best wins were bigger names than McCallum's. Hearns was also champion for longer but was less active - that was in part...
You know, I was just thinking that Leonard's probably is the one above all of them that does have amazing opposition to add to all the other...
Lightweight really has had some of the greatest long-reigning dominant champions: Gans, Leonard, Williams, Joe Brown, Ortiz and Duran. Not to...
I think Duran, Monzon and Hagler's reigns are on par with each other. I had them 4, 5 and 6 respectively. Not much in it at all.
No-one has mentioned it yet and it didn't make my top 10 but Pascual Perez had a pretty impressive run at flyweight.
1. Joe Louis 2. Archie Moore 3. Benny Leonard 4. Roberto Duran 5. Carlos Monzon 6. Marvin Hagler 7. Willie Pep 8. Manuel Ortiz 9. Wilfredo Gomez...
Yeah, I think that has to be top 10. I might swap out Armstrong at welter to make room for Duran at around the same spot.
The main factors I'd consider for a great title reign are: Dominance Consistency Beating all available competition Longevity Unbeaten Talent of...
There's a lot I like about this list. Joe Louis has by far and away the greatest title reign in history in my view. The more I think about it the...
Ruiz and Arreola are not fat... they are just big boned.
Very nice list!
Entirely up to your own digression.
Which are the best of the best? Put them in order.
Matthew Saad Muhammad peaked as champion and then was completely done when he lost to Dwight Qawi.
Matthew Saad Muhammad v Murray Sutherland A somewhat customary slow start from Saad as Sutherland built up an early points lead with some sharp...
Watched Matthew Saad Muhammad v Louis Pergaud and Murray Sutherland. Saad was at his peak against Pergaud and possibly passing it against...
Pipino Cuevas had a spotty record and then went on an awesome KO streak when he won the title. The crushing loss to Hearns ended him as a force...
Probably true about his absolute peak but I wouldn't really consider him as he kept winning titles after that.
It's been said that winning a world championship can take a fighter to a different level than they've been to before with the confidence that they...
Or Tony Ayala.
Separate names with a comma.
