At 118 and 126
McGugian's style was made for JMM to shine. Barry would have his moments, especially early, but JMM progressively picks him apart. Then by the...
Agreed again.
Agreed.
I've never made an excuse for Spaddy before, but Spaddy did slip between 99 when he beat Cardona and 03 when he got outfought by Dorin.
Also rewatched Arguello-Olivares for the first time in years. Truly one of the greatest all time featherweight wars. That Arguello left hook that...
Rewatched Nelson vs Gomez. Great war that really doesn't get enough recognition. Nelson proved to be far too strong for Bazooka, but Gomez, as he...
Who wins?
I would definitely count out Nelson in a rematch. Nelson wasn't THAT far from his prime when he fought Sal... he was essentially the same Nelson...
Marquez was pretty impressive here: [MEDIA]
Many would argue these are the two best light heavys of all time. Who wins? I certainly think it's competitive either way.
I hated both equally, so I have no dog in this fight. I think the Spadafora who schooled Cardona has the edge here, and would outbox the Baby Cow.
Assuming they meet in 1980. The Hawk have any chance?
McGirt was a better fighter than Breland, however, I find this matchup very interesting because Breland had some pretty notable physical...
Would Vern have had a chance?
McDogg actually once said that Bradley would beat McGirt because of the 24-hour weigh-in. For some odd reason, he overlooked the fact that McGirt...
The two greatest Cuban fighters of all time. Both top 10 all time at 147. Who wins?
Back to the actual topic of the thread - so far we have people who think Marquez, Pac, and possibly Nelson in a rematch are the only guys who...
Teddy, can you pass the salt? "Ya know, salt is interesting. Its like a jab to set up peppah, the right hand. And when you put em in...
Yeah, I think prime-for-prime MAB beats Marquez. Marquez matches up more favorably with Morales.
To echo REED, for all your disparaging of Hamed's resume, who in the living Hell had MARQUEZ beaten at the time? Not Naz, who btw has a pretty...
This. Not much more to add.
Depends on when they fought. By 2000-01, Marquez would beat Hamed. Had they got it on circa 97-98, I'm not sure if JMM is ready for a peak Hamed.
REED is correct. Marquez wasn't perceived as a dangerous, and formidable fighter in the sport until the Pedan fight. No one gave a flying fuck...
Castillo.
Marquez is an overrated fighter. A great with an all time greats number. As it relates to this thread, Sanchez was an ATG independent of being...
All fights when he was more seasoned. Sanchez was quicker than Marquez, and one of the most accurate punchers ever. No reason to believe he...
When did Pac ever see punches coming from a mile away?
Another thing about Sanchez that I would note is that he was a pretty big, solidly built featherweight, and a naturally strong guy at that. His...
