As I said at the time, I had a suspicion that Arum was a very destructive influence on those negotiations the first time. Fairly clear he's...
FUCK OFF ARUM.
I already did subtract the Calzaghe loss last time in the win/loss ratio- Charles' is superior. And considering 3 of Hopkins most notable wins,...
Sly, who do you consider to have a better resume - Hopkins today, who you rank top 10, or Charles going into the 3rd Walcott fight? Taking out all...
Watch stretches of the Chuvulo fight for instance. Or even the Foreman rematch where he had limited periods of success on the back foot despite...
:bears:
Yes they were. Rumours were already rife, lets not rewrite history.

I'd rank Oscar above Mosley, personally. Though I don't think either belong within a million miles of the top 20. At the time of writing I'd rank...
Hey Irish, if you can come up wit numbers it'd be a help for when I tote them up. And as Broadway says, 1940s onward if you could.
I think yourself and Ramonza make excellent points, the next time this match up gets posted I'll probably pick differently. I only brought up...
Weren't there legitimate reasons for Holyfield's stamina issues in those fights? I think heart irregularities in the Bowe rubber match caused by...

Quite a handsome list if I do say so.
Yup, hence me thinking a small protective headguard on the back of the head would be a good idea, as gay as it would look.
I would expect Mayorga to catch up with him late in the fight. But Judah would probably knock 7 shades of shite out him in the early going.
Cummon guys, we all know each other opinions on Floyd.....lets not get on this train.
Lets face it it's the booze.:lol: The more steamers the more noise. I mean people say the OF derby's the fiercest because of all the baggage, my...
I don't think Mayweather is a ducker. Never have. I just think he's reluctant to make the effort to make the significant fights happen because he...
Folk in the UK know how to create an atmosphere. 80k yanks in a stadium is a very different proposition. Plus, with all due respect Loftus Road is...
No, I don't think you're getting mine. You have to prove greatness, one way or another and a win over Diego Corrales isn't enough. Beating Hearns,...
Despite being such a douche, Toney's probably been the guy from my era of watching boxing I've enjoyed watching and rewatching the most. Its gonna...
BroadwayJoe, Meetthefeebles and REEDS lists are apparently imminent. Especially curious to see REEDs perspectives on these things, could go any...
Lets not turn this into another discussion all just about Floyd's choices of opponent please, guys. It happens too easily.
If they're looked back upon as equivalent challenges in their resumes then it says everything about the quality of their resumes. Corrales was a...
Dude, Benitez was shot when he was 25. Tyson was half the fighter he was by the time he was 24 odd. Hopkins & Archie Moore were 95% the man they...
Almost all the guys you list that Ray didn't fight came WAY after his prime. During his prime the only significant fights that weren't made were...
Sly, I understand your point here it's ostensibly a pretty good one, but there are things to consider with the whole win/loss ratio angle....
The shear number of fights isn't the deciding factor. It's the number of fights against great fighters or failing that the number against the very...
Far more impressive handpicking opponents to a gleaming 40-0, right?:lol: And I'll just point out that if your man Roy Jones keeps going the way...
