...over twelve at Jr. Welter? IMO, after going back-&-forth a bit on this... 1: Taylor 2: Even 3: Taylor 4: Mosley 5: Taylor 6: Mosley 7:...
Doesn't sound too honest, does he?
Did you (& do you now) believe him when he stated his enhancer-issues were accidental, not a result of design?
I think it's about Mayweather's ego, to be honest. Guy could not stand to be without his, '0,' & would do anything to erase anyone who took it...
Joe Frazier, circa 1969-71, against the Riddick Bowe of around 1990-92. I am headed toward Frazier on a close decision through twelve rounds,...
No matter which attribute you choose, it's likely he's, "not winning anything." There's no real way around that. It becomes a question of which...
I agree with Sly, obviously. I have to think if you're poor in every area, speed is a distant second to power. Also, I kind of thought of speed as...
It's hardly necessary to go to such an extreme to find someone who would best Mayweather, though. I got the feeling the idea of the thread was to...
Let's say you're a fighter, & all of your qualities are quite poor. Your ring intelligence is lacking, your footwork is clumsy, handspeed...
I agree with you, but we are in a sizeable minority. IMO, Whitaker gets the best of Duran.
Gomez against Pintor...ugh.
Always an interesting discussion, this one. To throw a hat into the ring yet not mentioned... Rocky Marciano Saddler may in fact be the...
Didn't you give me a wrap over the knuckles for doing just that with a few Dempsey fights? :lol:
Off-the-cuff, & featuring some arbitrary names. Participants: Diego Corrales Hector Camacho Shane Mosley Oscar De La Hoya Jose Luis...
Another popular character (who, also like De La Hoya, has polarised many people) who was involved in several convtroversial outcomes to fights....
Though he did sell Trinidad short, there wasn't, in truth, a whole lot of credit to give.
Hundreds.
Nice opening line :lol: I was making the point in the Vargas-Mayweather thread how respected the young Vargas was, & how history has probably...
De La Hoya was a guy who seemed almost routinely in controversial scoring debates throughout parts of his career. These are the majorly-contested...
Purely looking at it from a career's perspective, & ousting issues such as finances & the like, I would say... Louis (After the return with...
A well-documented one...Jack Dempsey & Max Schmeling.
The Arguello-Louis one is a sound comparison. How about Danny Lopez & Felix Trinidad, or Carmen Basilio & Joe Frazier?
I was wondering what I'd said for my suspenson.

Fighters who bore a resemblance to one another? How many can we come up with? IMO... Mike Tyson - Cliff Couser Ezzard Charles - Shane...
Unrelated, I know, but every time I see him smile, I cannot help but think it --- the man is just the spitting image of Ezzard Charles.
It's almost like two entirely different sets of rules for greatness, so far have the goalposts moved. Like I say, I do believe a fighter comes...
Given Robinson's consensus as pound-for-pound the best the sport has ever seen (which I agree with, though there should be far more people arguing...
I would disagree with that. IMO, first-ballot isn't even something which should realistically exist right now, because Boxing is literally clogged...
How far into the fight before you felt sure Pryor was going to knock him out?
