The great Ricardo Lopez!!! On the Hopkins debate, I think he was past his peak when Taylor edged him out --- but it's somewhat debatable, IMO. He...
I'd say, off the top of my head... Roy Jones Sonny Liston Joe Frazier Ezzard Charles Marvin Hagler Jim Jeffries Jack Dempsey Floyd Mayweather...
Not as a spectacle. Marquez crushed him in short order.
The first time. Not the second (even on the gear).
I love how people pretend the fourth fight didnt happen because they prefer Vazquez. It counted because Marquez is the man who put Vazquez in that...
Thats being generous :lol: Even without PEDs, he was at least as good as Sugar Ray Seales though. Never really saw Hatton as a, "Hitman," &...
Sad but true.
I dispute any claim you make toward credibility on this subject. Youre not even in here arguing De La Hoya loses --- youre just attempting to make...
You wouldn't use any fight as a basis for it. You would argue De La Hoya couldn't stop you...:lol:
How do you see Marciano doing against Norton, then?
Rock-head wearing the Don King crown as he lay prostrate on the mat was gold :lol:
It's not that I can't see the reasons for dislike, CDogg (hatred is a bit strong to me, but hey, I'm a fan) --- it's that the same people who...
We will just have to disagree. I see Marciano as a poor man's Dempsey, personally. He has an advantage in stamina & probably chin as well (two...
I would never call De La Hoya an all-time great, but he was a great of his time (he was, & with good reason, consistently among the top-5,...
Marciano is more skilled than Dempsey!? Maybe at headbutting.
Lies perpetuated by Oscar's fanbase. Apologise to Neil! :lol:
Nothing telegraphed about Dempsey's left hook, nor is there anything primitive about his nimble, bobbing footwork. He had relatively poor defense,...
Here we go...
Here, here. Lennon Jr over Buffer for me.
Personally, I like Dempsey to do a hatchet-job on Norton --- but I know my respect for Dempsey in head-to-head matches is higher than for most...
Ginger or blonde, theres no denying that class of his. Sorry, Mex :lol: "You stay classy, Pugilism."
Sorry, I dont follow...
Pacheco was awful, and one of Ali's biggest apologists (which is saying something).
For me, I have to say Wilfred Benitez --- I have always been drawn to defensive wizadry, such a craft, above and beyond even the most educated...
Lennon Jr has always appeared blonde, not ginger, to me. ???
Couldnt disagree more. Buffer is a cartoon of himself and is insanely egotistical. His professionalism is also chequered.
A bizarre match. Patterson debuted young, developed fast, and would have made short work of an old, over-weight McCallum.

In and out of the ring, Im sure. I wonder what Kovalev makes of it all.
Two very salient posts, Double.
Separate names with a comma.
