It's a paradox. Many will tell you Whitaker was outright robbed in his first fight with Ramirez. But the reality is, he made it damn close, and as...
Mancini didn't win that fight with toughness. He won it with simple boxing.
I'm not sure. But I bet Neil knows.
I already conceded that fragile was too strong a word. What the fuck do you want me to do? Kris. Now can you get over it? Now that I've said TWICE...
Fragile is too strong of word. I agree. Durable? No. Hearns did not have a good chin. This was especially true at 147. As with all great...
Dude, I gotta say: I'm as disturbed as I am amused by your signature. Truly sick stuff - the kind you'd hear in a basement comedy club.
Randall Bailey vs. Julio. As great a fight as it was, I think it ruined Bailey who had much more upside (for a variety of reasons) than Julio...
Eidy Moya vs. Elicier Julio and Tapia
Ricardo Vargas vs. Adan Vargas
I took someone else's idea and reversed it, and am willing to take credit for having done so.
Hey I'm not the one who introduced the premise of a full-fledged welterweight Castillo. I was responding to someone else's having done that. So...
Chavez was better than Castillo. Titles in three weight classes, dominant wins in many of his important fights, and losses only at the tail end of...
PBF easily - probably by stoppage.
First of all, a hyphenated word is one word, not two. As of recently bullshit may no longer need a hyphen. Many once-hyphenated words are later...
Bull-shit.
a. We're not dealing with reality in any case - these are mythical match-ups afterall. b. A 147 pound projection of Castillo was supposed in...
yeah? name the best one he beat?
I honestly have no idea what your argument is. Twice you've said I'm wrong and twice you've provided no coherent explanation as to why. The...
It was just a point of reference. A welterweight projection of Castillo would've beaten all of the guys that Hearns beat at 147.
Good thread. I think Tiberi/Toney and Collazo/Hatton are great examples, as is Armando Cruz/Casamayor. How about Hugo Dianzo and Bones Adams?...
I don't think it's fair at all to say Pacquiao was chinny, even down at 122. Marquez, yes. I think Pacquiao would've crushed him.
(Neil weighs in with his sarcastic response, captivating us all with his inside info)
Uh. No. He'd have a chance for sure. Castillo projected to 147 pounds would be a hefty welterweight - bigger than Duran.
Neither Morales or Barrera accomplished much of anything at 118 (Morales never fought at all at bantamweight). So any matchup involving MAB or...
Well, having seen Castillo compete now at 147, cleary he would've had no chance against Hearns. But Hearns was not what I'd call a durable...
Against Froch, Abraham looked the same way he always does. Low activity, guard held high for 80% of every round, with occasional explosions of...
Sounds like someone just completed their first under-graduate course in sociology? No? Or was it economics? I think your vague response, in...
What else can expected of the crooked and eceptive Irish media? Who favor Irish fighters and import American tomato cans for beatings at the hands...
I can't disagree. As much as we bitch and moan about HBO's match-ups, it's crazy to turn around and fault HBO for trying to make the best fights....
:atu::atu: Khan may be juicing? Is that what you
