Pretty difficult to imagine, since the fighters' are trained for twelve rounds.
Not passing any judgement on Spinks beyond that one night, but, IMO, Spinks did indeed tank it wilfully against Tyson. Watching it, I have a hard...
No questioning his commitment in the moment, whatever the extent of the damage.
You never had a talent for something you weren't fond of? Ever?
I agree with you, though I think it's fair to say, in the full context of his career, as bad as that was, he legitimately redeemed himself.
Think angles & trajectory & you are on the right track.
It absolutely stands out against even those with great, great CV's --- Duran being one. Charles' has to be one of the top-five in history. You...
At a moments' notice, I am leaning toward Spinks --- I am open to persuasion on it, though. Good, solid head-scratcher, Whiskey. Maybe we could...
You are kidding. Moore not as good as Leonard? Please. Multiple victories over Moore trumps any single achievement in Duran's career --- one from...
That's true, though the full story was more complex than that.
Except that bodytorque & punch-positioning accounts for power far more than weight-training & bicep measurements ever will.
He fought Hall Of Famers like they were going out of style --- not that Duran lacks for a grand resume, mind, but I think Charles deserves the nod...
Whitaker & Benitez --- two of my all-time favourites --- meet between their main divisions. An awfully difficult fight to score, I'm sure. Who...
I wouldn't disagree with any of that. IMO, Charles has the beating of Duran for quality of competition, while Duran gets my vote for dominance in...
Agreed with everything said above.
Again, we go toward your perception I'm biased, rather than anything to do with Klitschko. I guess it would never occur to you certain factors...
There is nothing easy in distinguishing who was greater between these two, friend. Not a thing.
We have all been fans for many years.
In the context of both achievements, & ability. This is a long-standing debate between myself & a few old friends, which, of course, never finds...
I don't think I would really argue tooth-&-nail with that, either.
He is a lot bigger, though. His muscles are bigger, & he is a modern-era fighter. He even weighs more. Isn't that reason enough?
Golota boxed like a Middleweight? I must've missed those fights.
Where would you place them in history, Slice?
Nothing. I want to make clear that I'm not against fighters purely on resume, if they're lacking in this regard. Biggest example in my instance...
He's very hard to beat through his career, because certain characteristics enhance that difficult, but moreso than the strength of the division? I...
More difficult than he otherwise would be, yes (so I can see what you're saying), but difficult, outright? I do not believe so. He's a sitting...
I think he'd be exposed in a manner a lot of people seem to think unlikely against most all-time greats, & be beaten by a great number of top...
You are not making life easy! :laughing: I would have to give those some real thought. Robinson & Charles, in particular, would wage an instant...
It isn't likely to happen, no. Benitez fulfilled that potential, though --- in spurts. That's what prompts the likes of Hex to write what they do....
Do you mean that was posted as an advertisement for Klitschko? For all the criticism of his competition, even fossilised versions of Lyle,...
