I'm with JOM. Ali's handspeed at this point is overrated. His footspeed and reflexes were more impressive. I can cite several Tyson examples...
Not sure he even had the tools. You gotta be able to hurt Tszyu to beat him, and Hector probably couldn't hurt him.
Me too.
Watched three fights tonight.. all rewatches. 1. Zarate vs Rodolfo Martinez: Possibly Zarate's best performance. He really took Martinez apart in...
Who wins?
Nap was a much, much better fighter, but is Terry too big?
Set for Sept. 18 on Showtime. Great matchup! I cant wait. Let's keep our fingers crossed that injuries or Covid don't fuck it up.
It could argued that Mike had better handspeed than Ali, and thats not an exaggeration. Mike's handspeed was arguably more impressive than Ali's,...
People forget that shot to pieces Philips had Hatton pretty badly wobbled with a counter right uppercut. Ricky was never able to SERIOUSLY damage...
Monzon was far and away the better fighter, but was Joe's size advantage enough to win?
Agreed with every word.
97 Philips stops Hatton late imo.
Yup, I was thinking the same. Moon by KO in a brutal war.
This would quite obviously be a war. Who wins?
Liston is absurdly underrated, and I think there's times Holy gets overrated. I would take the Cleveland Williams version of Liston over Holy
Overall, all athletes have gotten faster, and we know a big reason for that... I would note that in terms of handspeed, that the four fastest...
Great stuff!
How so has Hatton become underrated? No one calls him a scrub, or says that he wasn't a very good fighter. But also, no one considers him a...
Here's a matchup I think favors Louis. Smokin Joe was a beast, but I just don't like his odds walking into the artillery of a prime Louis.
Arguably the best bantamweight matchup of all time to make. Who wins?
Louis would execute Wilder.
Cooney would have fucked Morrison up.
Winnable fight for the Brown Bomber? Or is Mike just too big and powerful?
Ricky beat 2005 Tszyu. Could he have beaten the Tszyu of 5-6 years earlier?
Yeah, Aaron figures to be too quick and dynamic for JCC, without coming apart late like Mel did.
I feel like Casa would stop Roger late while down on the cards.
Separate names with a comma.
