Nunn is way too big for Rodriguez.
Donaire. Choco doesn't have the real emphatic, destructive, annihilation type wins in big fights the way Donaire has over Darchinyan and Montiel....
Martinez. Coggi never did nearly as much.
Corrales-Frietas/Cotto-Marg 1 is a great example! Both Frietas and Cotto were front runners (Frietas obviously moreso), whereas Chico and Marg...
It's not a difficult pick at all to me. Martinez has very little chance. He was easy to hit, and his chin wasn't that good. It's really as simple...
Better opposition. Wladimir never beat anyone as good as even a past prime Holmes. Tyson's resume is far better.
Who wins?
Tyson's resume is really underrated and looks better and better as the years pass. While he didn't beat murderer's row, he decimated a really...
Louis just by sheer volume and duration. But Ali, Holmes, and Tyson would certainly be the other three candidates. Holmes was less dominant...
I'm a huge Gomez fan, but there is no way in Hell he is the 2nd greatest Latin fighter. He can make a top 10, but certainly not #2.
I consider Monzon a top 15-20 great.
Another example i can think of: McGugian-Pedroza and Hatton-Tszyu.
*are similar to eachother i obviously meant to type in the topic.
This is a weird thought I just had - some fights and performances are similar to eachother in style and the way they play out. Theres two examples...
If I re-made my top 5 now, I think I would have Monzon 2, Gavilan 3, Ortiz 4, Arguello 5.
You're in the vast minority of people who feels Pintor won that fight.
Zarate would beat both Castillo and Herrera. Castillo was a superb technician, but no, nothing about him suggested to me that he could handle...
Herrera was in a different class. Canizales IMO loses to that entire elite elite group of 60/70s bantams of Olivares, Jofre, Harada, Castillo,...
It's universal consensus that Duran is the Latin fighter GOAT. Rather than do another top 5, just a simple question, who comes in as the second...
Reggie was more proven. I make him the solid favorite.
I think he blows it, as usual. Holmes could crack, I think he gets Graham out of there late while down on the cards.
I agree with what I said 11 years ago.
Trinidad would stop Lopez, I would bet my house on it. I don't care how durable JL was, he was just too easy to hit, and if Trinidad is hitting...
Wilder actually has a remote chance now, as it seems Fury is just an inconsistent trainer. Wilder and Fury deserve each other. Both a trainwrecks.
Whats dangerous is when it becomes delusion - I'm talking to you, Wilder. "I lost my focus and didn't train as hard as I should have" is a...
You gotta realize that ego and a certain level of arrogance drives great athletes. A symptom of that ego is the irrational belief that you're...
Crampacquiao lol
I can't see Loma beating the mid 70s Lopez. I mean, I CAN see it, but it's the outcome I see happening. I see Loma getting gradually broken down,...
Pressuring prime Lopez never proved to work. Both Chacon and Sanchez beat him playing the aggressive counterpuncher game. That wasn't Jeff. I...
Separate names with a comma.
