Byrd was extremely overrated. No.
Still better than any of the other names mentioned aside Tyson & holyfield.
well he's clearly, clearly the 3rd best heavyweight in the world. Doesn't say much, but he's basically the only heavyweight in fights worth watching.
BTW - has Ruiz initiated a single clinch? Good on him.
Tyson, Hide yes, the rest no. And Hide wasn't world class so he doesn't count.
Hay's starting to lose focus and look fragile & tired.
'one of the fastest'. Name 5 faster since 78.:dunno:
Haye's gonna get a stoppage in the next two rounds, I believe.
Did I mention I FUCCKKIINNGG HHHAAATTEEE JJIIIMM WAATTTT!?
Haye's looking good but his concentration looks poor he's taken a couple of heavy looking shots. That shit would bury him versus wlad.
Ruiz 20-1 to win on points? The bookies know something we don't?
I hate Jim 'Mr. Dead' Watt almost as much as Maggie Thatcher
Both looking pretty sexy for a pair of old codgers.
Leaving aside the issue of boxing's advancement circa 1919, I find the chances of a 180lb come forward guy thriving at heavyweight today even in...
Hopkins TKO 10
Dunno, with horse shoes in his gloves like he reportedly had against Willard you'd have to give him a fair shot against Wladirina :lol:
Did I say it was? I didn't mean to. Just that 'durability' is a function of both.
Which leads me to think durability is really just a function of stamina & heart, rather than a separate intangible. I mean Tyson lacked...
It's something I'd love to spend a whole day really thinking about, it'd be an educational process. I think there's quite allot of value in the...
Very interesting, thanks Ramonza. :bears: Floyd and Manny but no RJJ or B-Hop?
BTW guys, to anyone who hasn't submitted their list already - feel free to post it in this thread and I'll add it to the total. I've still got the...
The thread where I tote up the final results is on page 1 somewhere, the original thread is page 5 I think. Feel free to submit your list to...
You really never did enter into my p4p thread, did you? :lol: Of the 15 that voted on the top 20 since 1940, Charles made 11 lists; Calzaghe 3....
The more I think about examples on the other side the more I think maybe I was wrong - guys with a lack of durability are really just guys with a...
Lewis seems to me like a guy with good durability but a mediocre chin. Norton probably stands out as the ultimate example. Could take Ali, Holmes...
True. The more boxing becomes decoupled from the martial art of HURTING fuckers in the ring the more it becomes devalued, IMHO. And that process...
Then with that all readily acknowledged (the weakness of his 168 comp, circumstantially enforced or otherwise) - what makes you think Hatton was...
Well this is all purely subjective of course just as it is with Tyson because he never did fight a prime p4per or close. But I now think we're now...
Amen.
A Jones win will do nothing for his legacy. It'll just mean B-Hop got old, since if Jones cant even last a round with that Australian guy whos...
Separate names with a comma.
