I dunno if the same is true for Ortiz. He might have recovered, but he was a self-admitted alcoholic in his prime. Ortiz vs Chavez in their...
Black Beauty would have had Canelo at 1. And sadly, I'm probably not exaggerating. Sly thought Duran was an inconsistent fighter. Despite the...
Olivares is in good company then. Carlos Ortiz and Chavez were alcoholics too. I do agree with Zarate winning though.
The two guys generally considered the 2-3 greatest bantams in history behind Jofre. Both murderous punchers, both superb offensive technicians....
That's a respectable list. I think I went: Duran Jofre Monzon Chavez Ortiz But I think I'd change my mind and swap Ortiz for Napoles.
Interested to see Stinger's list. I know Napoles will be on his, but who else?
I posed the question on another forum, and opinions varied. Who would you say are the top 5 greatest Latin fighters of all time? I mean, outside...
Prime Tyson's chin was too good to be taken out in 4 rounds by ANY heavyweight in history. I took Lewis 8 rounds of non-stop beating on a shot...
Jesus, talk about late to the party. I thought every hardcore fan had seen Taylor-McGirt.
Doub, please don't tell me it was your FIRST time watching Taylor vs McGirt.
One positive thing I recall about Garza is that he had an excellent jab.
Was that before Garza got obliterated by an old Chapo Rosario?
I guarantee that you'll like Buddy's performance in the rematch. Zero holding... he lit Warren up from the both the outside and on the inside....
Inoue can overtake him, but it's gonna take more quality wins. Harada has the two wins over Jofre, and Jose Medel, who was better than anyone...
Cardona was a good fighter. Sliced Soo Hwan Hong to ribbons to win the title. His style was almost identical to Cervantes, although obviously not...
No thoughts on this one? I think Ortiz outboxes Arguello.
Doesn't mean he had reached his peak. McGirt was like 21-22 in the first fight. The Warren loss actually made him better. Have you seen the...
The DeJesus fights are irrelevant in this discussion, as DeJesus was better than Chapo. I'm a big Rosario fan, but he'd be Duran's 3rd best...
[MEDIA] Harada taking the flyweight title from the excellent Kingpetch. He was only 19. This performance has gotta rank along side Benitez over...
Another underrated war from the 80s. [MEDIA] Randolph, gold medal winner in the 76 Olympics, took on Ricardo Cardona - who stylewise was like a...
McGirt was still green when he lost to Warren the first time. In the rematch, Buddy was a finished product and he proceeded to beat the ever...
Yeah, Navarette is right up there with Napoles and Duran in footwork... I see it...
Zamora sure did flatten Pedroza. I know, I know, Pedroza was very green, but still.. one of the best right hand KOs of all time.
I do as well, but saying that both were similar in that they were never really the same after getting destroyed by Hearns/Zarate.
Zamora ain't too dissimilar than Cuevas. Both murderous punchers who reigned for a bit, and would have reigned for longer had they not run into...
Next thread: Doub will claim that Greg Haugen deserved a draw with Whitaker.
I dont think it would take midway. Given Duran's footspeed he'd be closing the distance on Rosario from the start. I dont think Chapo would be...
Lol
Agreed.
Nope. Chapo dont have a prayer. Duran KO 8.
