Those Tarver-Jones fights remain some of the deepest threads ever on the various forums. It wasn't a super fight in the mainstream, but here and...
I will say that Toney would find Duran a harder target than face-first guys like Barkley and Prince Charles.
I can't speak for all Roy fans, but I was saying as early as the Derrick Harmon fight that Roy was slipping. The Hall fight was his last vintage...
The dream scenario for any Roy fan would have been the Lewis fight. It would have been the ultimate no-lose situation. In the 99% chance that Roy...
Probably, but to his credit, he wanted to the erase the doubt. That pissed off the Roy haters at the time, because they painted Roy as a pussy....
Exactly. So many have forgotten that Roy won the first round easily. At no point before the KO do I think Roy was scared of Tarver. They grew up...
I don't think Roy was spooked. Had he been spooked, he would have never given Tarver the rematch. There were a lot of his fans calling for him to...
Tarver's mouth managed to change the entire legacy of a man. Roy had ZERO intention of going back to 175. His initial plan was to land a...
What really killed Roy was the choice of opponent after the Tarver rematch - Johnson. At the time, we all thought Glenn Johnson was a total bum,...
It should only count against him if he was young. Like how Don Curry went from invincible to dog shit at 24. Roy was 35 years old when he lost...
My final thoughts on this list as a whole is that it's not terrible, save for Canelo at 10. Also, Holy is greater than Tito and Oscar if his...
Duran stands a chance in a realistic situation, because Toney always blew hot-cold. If he's cold, Duran would beat him. But since MM's always...
It's hard for young fans to comprehend the aura around prime Roy. And no, this isn't directed at George, since he's a young historian, I'm...
The Floyd vs Roy comparison is actually VERY VERY similar to the Kobe vs Jordan comparison, for anyone who knows b-ball. Kobe was more skilled...
In the early 00s, I remember that MM was posed: Roy vs Floyd, P4P. I'll never forget that Muzse did a BRILLIANT, and thorough breakd own of why...
Roy was significantly more athletic than Floyd - the gap isn't small. Not at all to say that Floyd WASN'T super, super athletic, but Jones had a...
While I wouldn't go as far as to say they were two different levels, I think Buddy was clearly better than Cotto, and would win a convincing UD....
Yeah, Loma probably outclasses Freitas, but the junior lightweight Freitas was a helluva lot better than the likes of Walters and Martinez....
I've never seen enough of a prime Elorde in a win to make an educated pick. Loma loses to Marquez. He probably bests Freitas, but at 130...
Puerto Rican Tito was a better fighter than Nicaraguan Tito.
I just noticed that the list had Hopkins above Whitaker. Gtfoh!
It's happened before. But usually the guy who turns it around in the rematch has more ability than Warr. I'm not counting it out entirely though.
He was beaten up badly in the first fight. In theory, he could turn it around and win, but beatings like that have a tendency to ruin careers....
If you know me, you know I'm never ever excited for a heavyweight fight, and this is no exception. I'll watch though.
Ward would win a horrible fight.
The top 3 is pretty reasonable in terms of "greatness." If we were a ranking them in terms of "best" i think its clearly Roy. Pac and Floyd can...
Didn't even know that fight was today. Wonder if its even televised on the US.
https://twitter.com/OscarDeLaHoya/status/1433861956079808514/video/1 LMFAOOOOOOOO!!!! Who is this clown tryna fool? Oscar OD'd.
I can picture it now. Oscar's trainer: Oscar, wake up. Time to train. Oscar: Huhh? Train for what, bro? Trainer: Umm... for your fight next...
