I think Roy Jones is a far more beatable fighter than Whitaker. Jones was the most physically gifted fighter of the decade, but not the best, IMO.
Estaban De Jesus & Ken Buchanan are the equal of any Ali opponent not named 'Foreman' in the 70s.
I find these lists too problematic because everyone will come with different criteria. Do you JUSt judge a guys body of work in that decade? Do...
I always liked Duran to eek out a contentious decision in that one. I don't think it'd be a particularly satisfying bout to watch.
I tend to just exclude everyone prior the the 30s because segregation makes judging guys too difficult. Plus I don't think the sport matured...
I'll reserve judgement on Pac & Floyd until they fight/retire. If Floyd schools the shit out of Pac allot of things are gonna change in our...
But yeah I think Ali was/is better & greater than Jofre and Ali was at his peak int he 60s. So yeah, Ali is the best fighter of the 60s. Duran...
Oh fuck it, I dunno. Lets just agree they were all really, really good, ok?:lol:
If people haven't even seen or investigated anybody prior to 1978 they should just probably refrain from posting. Nah'm sayin'????
^ What Sly said. Chavez is undisputably top 30.
Martinez use of range & relatively quick feet gives Toney some difficulties. I can see that being surprisingly close.
DeJesus & Buchanan are much better lightweights (or junior Lightweights) than anyone Chavez ever beat. I would personally regard De Jesus as a...
Duran was a better lightweight in the 70s than Ali was a heavyweight, IMO. Pretty conclusively. For me that's the bottom line. Ali was the...
I don't like either guy. Should have some action though.
Tua TKO 11. Golota finds a way to lose, it's simply what he does.
If you're going by who was in the most high profile fights of a decade then heavyweights are 'fighter of the decade' every single decade since the...
1) Ezzard Charles 2) Ray Robinson 3) Henry Armstrong 4) Roberto Duran 5) Muhammad Ali 6) Willie Pep 7) Ray Leonard 8) Joe Louis 9) Eder...
Duran of the 70s was the best lightweight ever. Ali was the fighter of the 60s, not 70s. Popularity/size of fights doesn't enter in, this is a...
Sly's a serious man in MM :lol:
agreed. I really couldn't be more excited for this fight, but people are losing their minds with some of the claims made in this thread.
McCallum TKO 7.
Neutralising Mosley throwing 1 or 2 hail mary bombs at a time is just a different deal to dealing with somebody with the variety and volume of...
Margarito has a far better natural style to beat Manny Pacquiao. I hate hype too & Im not one to buy into it (with the possible exception of the...
Not necessarily. But p4p match ups are. Thus spake hutathustra,
Chisora has precisely no chance against Wlad by the way. If he's 100-1 I wouldn't bother putting a quid on.
I know Im in a small minority but I think Haye has a much better chance against Vitali than Wlad. I'd give Solis & Povetkin better chances...
:lol: What?
Which thread wins at a 157 1/2lb catchweight?
On the criteria you're clearly using - not within 300,000,000,000 miles.
Anarchy, chaos and good manners!:shadow:
