Michael Spinks vs. Eddie Davis?
I think Oscar either fatigued or got bothered by his eye, and took some rounds off before coming back strong in the 12th. But overall I...
RIP I was recently watching Foreman-Norton. Usually the phrase is a boxer is on “Queer Street”, but Bob says “Norton is in Queersville” lol
It was unanimous, but the judges actually had the cards closer in the rematch. Probably trying to make up for the controversy in the first fight....
I scored it for Floyd by 2-3 points. Castillo gave away way too many early rounds. But I kind of wish Castillo got the decision, as Floyd...
Toney by decision Much is often made about Toney’s inconsistency at middleweight. There is some truth to it but I think it’s often overblown....
Would you put Mosley (especially at 135) as a puncher-boxer?
Hagler for boxer-puncher
I was just watching that a few days ago. Ruddock looked like he was dead when Tommy landed that left hook, then somehow got up a couple seconds...
There were a lot of entertaining HW fights in the early 90s, and Moorer-Cooper was definitely one of the best, if not #1. The first round was...
Maybe Leonard-Duran 3? I remember reading one article where it said “one guy couldn’t fight and the other wouldn’t fight”
Both. It’s like you could make most NBA players practice their outside shooting much more. They’ll improve but they still won’t shoot like a...
It was 3 months before Foreman beat Frazier in Jamaica for the title
Larry Holmes Mike Weaver had just taken out John Tate for the WBA title
It’s been harder for me to follow sports in general as I’ve gotten older. You just have other things to do and remember that sports is...
Did he play the banjo in Deliverance?
I think GGG wins this. He’s naturally bigger and would be busy with the jab and straight rights. I also think Tito had fallen in love with his...
He reminds me of the murderer in Ghost and in the beginning of Carlito’s Way.
It seems sort of fitting that someone with such an ugly boxing style is also one ugly MF. They were only generous with his wife’s looks. [IMG]...
Mayweather-Canelo Holyfield-Tyson 1 Pacquiao-Thurman Hagler-Mugabi Whitaker didn’t get the nod against Oscar (I had it 113 even BTW), so he...
I remember Larry Merchant saying that Sturm-De La Hoya was a good fight for two guys who looked like male models. Both of them were willing to...
After the first Sam Peter fight, I got a kick out of James Toney (of all people) calling Larry Holmes ugly and fat. Like a bulldog! [MEDIA]
Golota and Tyson weren’t lookers, but hardly what come to mind when I think of “ugliest boxers ever”. Bowe was an okay looking guy. Valuev is a...
Sakio Bika and his wife are an unfortunate looking couple. Zelenoff got beat up by one of the guys in The Hills Have Eyes
I remember Foreman commentating on HBO and talking about how Whitaker doesn’t fit the image of what you think of as a mean boxer. You think of...
Pernell was better I mean, if you place a lot of value on longevity, then I can understand you putting B-Hop greater all-time. But Whitaker was...
Nonito Donaire also lived in San Leandro after he immigrated and started boxing. San Leandro directly borders Oakland. Ward is from Hayward,...
McCallum, quite easily.
It seems the big name Brownsville fighters tend to be underachievers (sometimes headcases).
Wilder most likely would stop Golota at some point. Maybe Golota freezes up and gets stopped early. If not, he does well for awhile but...
Separate names with a comma.
