They were good wins. But he doesn't get points for beating bigger men, because Pavlik & Wright were Middleweights. And by that stage of Hopkins...
So one win over Antonio Tarver is enough to settle this debate? Really?
The fact that Leonard was bigger scores him points yeah. Just like beating Tarver who was a bigger scores Hopkins points. But it's the wins that...
Well for me, Duran's greatness was as a lightweight but his victory over Leonard DEMONSTRATED that greatness at the very, very highest level. But...
I think at his best he was better. A tiny, little bit better. I don't put as much weight on multi-division accomplishments as many. Some guys...
Ah fuck it, I just rewatched the last couple of rounds of the Lalonde fight. Leonard, Leonard, Leonard. That's fucking bad assery, right there.
I actually don't know about this one, though reflexively I'd lean towards Leonard. Taylor would force a much faster pace on Leonard than Hagler...
Hagler. I'm a huge Hopkins fan, but Hagler.
That would be fine. As would Ortiz.
Calzaghe always came across as a very insecure guy to me. The constant self agrandizment papered over the social ineptitude that comes with...
He might have nicked a round, yeah. His fundamental problems against Wright weren't a matter of size or speed though, they were a matter of boxing...
I'm assuming Khan-Bradley WON'T be next, btw. If that's an option, give me that, stat.
Khan-Brook is the most appealing fight, but Khan-Prescott is the one that makes most sense in Khan's risk/reward analysis.
At 160, sure, but Tito was way more comfortable at 160 than Oscar, so I think the fairer comparison would be a match at 154. The Oscar who...
Oscar-Wright would have been interesting. One things for sure, he wouldn't have lost 12-0.
Not a problem.
I'm coming to the unpalatable conclusion that that little manchild degenerate is one of the very,very best fighters ever. Certainly among the most...
Chavez 7-4-1. Tough fight.
No more than any other lift involving the lower back, I'd say mate. It just looks exactly like a deadlift, except your core muscles are having to...
:giggle::giggle::giggle:
I think it might be the biggest mismatch of any Klitschko defence I can think of. If this mess of a fight is the honest to goodness reason we...
Bradley doesn't have Maidana's power but he has two abilities which might make up for that IMO. Firstly he knows how to effectively negate an...
The only question in my mind where be 'what round'? I'm thinking 7, hedged with 10.
Quite a few fights on youtube. Enough to form an impression.
I don't see a high energy, come forward guy, tbh. I see a pretty slow footed, low output, reactive guy who's who operates on the outside, looking...
Wow wee, you're so recondite & acute.
We'll see. I think he'll be flying through astral Mexican shrub lands with the wily Coyote.
I'm usually pretty skeptical about 'new lifts', but I came across one in a Westside Barbell article last week which fucking rules! :hammert:...
He's trying to sell the fight. Chisora is a decent fighter but style wise he's a sacrificial lamb, like Kevin Johnson was for Vitali. Except...
I'd favour Floyd over Chavez sr, marginally.
