Oh shit! Forgot to mention Whitaker-Haugen.
Who wins?
I think Reggie has a good chance of winning it, yes. I would, however, side with McCallum by close decision... very close decision. Good matchup...
Napoles-Cokes 1 is my choice if we're talking pure perfection. If we're talking historical significance, then the winner is Ali-Liston 1. Was...
Gomez, at 20 years old, taking the super bantamweight title from Dong Kyun Yum. Gomez gets off to a shaky start, and shows like Pryor-esque...
I was gonna argue that the smaller guy crop is better now, but forgot that the 90s had Too Sharp, Finito, Carbajal, Canizales, and Arbachakov.
Nah, this crew objectively is weaker than a Lewis, Jones, Mosley, DLH crew. Lummox would wipe his ass with the gypsy cokehead and the Alabama retard.
Also would add Gomez-Yum, which is fresh in my mind as I rewatched it last night. Gomez got off to a shaky start, but after the early rounds, he...
Cervantes' age is accurate imo. He was in his late 20s when he won the junior welter title.
I would add: McGuigan-Pedroza Esparragoza-Cruz
Danny showed up for a payday. Ugas will try to win.
Ugas is a helluva lot better than Cherry Garcia, so if Spence faces him, we'll get a true idea of what Spence has left.
I picked him to smoke both Cotto and Hatton. It seems hard to believe now, but this forum was split 50-50 on Pac-Hatton.
What Olivares had over Zarate is that he was that he was successful at higher weights. I dont see much separation between them at 118.
Conn is one of the light heavyweight greats.
I would add Yuri Arbachakov vs Kittikasem 1
Kid Pambele was far from the fighter he was 5-6 years before, but yes, it was impressive how The Hawk went through him.
Benny Leonard was great. Even on film he looks very talented. I have no doubt he could excel in any era. It was the "shut out" part was that was...
Exactly. "Floyd by decision in a great fight" would be a BOXING FAN answer. "Floyd destroys Pryor" is casual 101.
Tunney schools Tyson - I've heard MANY guys say that. Mannnnnnnn Mike would wipe Gene Tunney off the fuckin face of the Earth.
The latest recency bias comedic statement I heard... "Floyd would destroy Aaron Pryor in a few rounds." Yeeeaaaa, ok MF.
Jack Dempsey would KO Bowe in 2 rounds, thats another one I once heard on Eastside. Pretty sure Jack Dempsey would piss himself at the thought of...
One guy on Eastside said that Benny Leonard would pitch a shutout on Floyd. It was one of the few times I had to defend Floyd. Both extremes are...
Trust me, I've argued with them before. "You a hater, bro! Watchu know about Floyd?" My response: "MF I was a Floyd fan before you even knew who...
Foster-Tiger
Rose-Harada Zarate-Martinez Canizales-Seabrooks 1 Happy Lora-Zaragoza
Qawi-Saad 1
Forgot to add Hagler-Minter
Remember, first title winning performances, so fights like Jones-Toney and Pac-Barrera don't count. The notables that come to mind: Ali-Liston 1...
