I'll say this for Vargas though - his footwork was really good. His best asset by far. He was very good with angles & setting traps and draws....
You're quite correct actually. I do regard Castillo as the better fighter, tbh. I don't think Vargas was 'slicker' either though he had...
OK I misread the thread. In that case I'll choose chin since this guy ain't getting beyond the bottom run bum level, with a 8-67-2 record or some...
Speed. No doubt or hesitation. Speed. Want convincing? Think how many guys in the last 50 years with below average power will have been...
Well it was a bit different since all the guys you mention had fought at the weight their big fight took place at and were adapted to it (apart...
Oh come on Sly, the Marquez fight was a farce. Total farce. I personally had no problem with Floyd taking an easy fight after an 18 month lay off...
Still can't work it out either. Is there any connection between A) fighters who lives in Las Vegas B) Gambling on boxing C) fixed fights? :dunno:
What like a 3 divisions bigger version of Castillo, you mean? Vargas was a bullying type of fighter at his best who knew how to use his size. He'd...
Ok "in a way which makes a 'point'", then.:lol:
Saw this the other day. I have to admit I laughed pretty hard....but of course it really isn't funny. Seems like he's a pretty repressed character...
Isn't it also because boxing has declined more than any other sport? The talent pool is infinitesimal compared to the 30s thru 60s, the number of...
No, they don't. They really, really don't.
Double L - pointing out subtle ironies in an illuminating & polemic way takes quite allot of intelligence. You don't quite have it. Don't feel...
Im either thick or not quite thick enough because I have no idea what this thread is about.
So are good coaching, obsessive hard work and 1 in a million genetics.
That was utterly unwatchable for 10 rounds. Awful fight. Tito-Oscar was a better fight....:crying:
Cool thread. Ali - Frazier III (49-2) Louis - Savold (64-2) Jones - Ruiz (48-1) Holyfield- Rahman (38-5-2) Tyson-Ruddock II (41-1)...
Whitaker: Oscar by 2 Quartey: Oscar by 1 Trinidad: Oscar by 3 Molsey II: Oscar by 2 Sturm: Sturm by 3
' :lol:
Ricardo Lopez & Miguel Cotto (the methodical well balanced combination punching to head and body, the committed front foot weight distribution and...
This is another weird one that will sound stupid to some people but.... Don Curry & Mike Tyson (the way they'd look to counter by closing...
No? Looks pretty edible to me:hump:
You don't see a parallel in their method of defence & countering? It wasn't a prerequisite of the thread that both guys should be as good/graceful...
Guys who fight alike, stylistically! Even if the similarity is only partial. Alexis Arguello & Joe Louis (technically perfect punchers, patient...
Well they're both black. :lol: beyond that I don't really see it. Charles was just a way scarier, more threatening looking dude. Probably the...
Good thread. Depends how you set your criteria of course. To my mind the measure of a career is in the overall impressiveness of your, lets say,...
Froch is a very strange, primadonnaish character.
He went tooth and nail with a 9 years younger version of Oscar than Floyd fought 14 months before. That incidentally is two months less inactivity...
I think it was the Golota fight I took 2 rounds out of to count clinches versus the punches landed. More clinches in both rounds. That'll be my...
:pray:
Separate names with a comma.
