Ali was a one off. Another fighter could have tried what he did, the way he did it and failed. In fact, plenty did. Napoles was not that once in a...
I like the use of Rubin Carter as a verb.
I'd lean towards Whitaker in 1993 and 1994 but I think Whitaker had slipped a bit by 1995 - not a huge amount but enough for the balance to tip in...
Ganigan. He at least mixed in a higher class at the weight. Valero fought no-one.
McCallum because he has extra dimensions to his game. He could trade or he could box. He'd probably end up doing a bit of both here and he has the...
Interesting one. Ike is the greater fight but Cervantes would be naturally larger and was just so fundamentally solid that I don't think Ike...
Size-wise you've got to give Burley the edge. It'd be interesting to see Armstrong try and apply his pressure style against someone naturally...
Yeah, that's a good point. I almost feel a little similar about Ward-Gatti 1 - that might be taking it a bit far - but 5 and 9 were real standout...
Whitaker, Ortiz, Williams and Armstrong all have a good chance. Mosley, Pac, Floyd? I don't think any of them stand a chance to be honest. Duran...
You mean, like his nickname?
If Marquez could time Pacquiao, I think Duran would too. His speed is his biggest asset so early on I can see that causing Duran some problems,...
I'd still happily watch it, though!
Greater? Benitez. Better? Benitez. H2H? Benitez. But it's actually close in all three. And I should say that I much prefer McCallum.
I'm on a bit of a round fix at the moment - just enjoying some short bursts of high octane action. Inevitably most of the great rounds I think...
Johnny Bratton v Charley Fusari RBR: 1 Even (cracking opener - could have gone either way) 2 Fusari (more quality action. Fusari taking it to...
1. Trinidad-Vargas 2. Corrales-Castillo 1 3. Morales-Barrera 1 4. Vasquez-Marquez 3 5. Marquez-Diaz 1
Chavez was between Tyson and Sweet Pea.
Signed.
Good man.
It's very important to recognise that antivaxxers are a bunch of divs so regardless of the cause of death here and whether it was in any way COVID...
Thinking about the Gonzalez-Estrada match and the super flyweights, including SSR, all three are the wrong side of 30 and significantly so in...
I'm excited about this one. Not an expert on either fighter but if it's as good as the first one, happy days... My prediction is a total guess as...
Not flukey, no - just it was uncharacteristic that this would be such a one sided and early KO.
This is the Nunn-Kalambay of the 60s.
Awesome - that's the very first fight chronologically on my watchlist. Any idea if there's a full version of Virgil Akins v Tony DeMarco 1...
Yeah, I've got a list of fighters to watch: • Johnny Bratton • Kid Gavilan • Billy Graham • Johnny Saxton • Carmen Basilio • Tony DeMarco • Gil...
50s only, X!
I should say the ones I've already seen: Kid Gavilan v Billy Graham 3 Kid Gavilan v Gil Turner Kid Gavilan v Carmen Basilio Carmen Basilio v Tony...
Going to be making this era my focus over the next few weeks. I'm aware of some great fights from this era- some which are available on film...
Tito Trinidad v Oba Carr Carr did pretty well for the first 5 or 6 rounds, knocking Tito down in the second and arguably taking the opening 3...
