I think Basilio outworks him 2-1, and should win a close decision. This is a man who arguably beat both Sugar Ray Robinson and Kid Gavilan.
I'd sadly, pick Hamed. Lopez may have hit a little harder, but he didn't have that same snap to his shots. He certainly wasn't as quick or...
Yeah, I think Ramos should be favoured. His smooth, offensive - almost Napoles-esque - style with his bullishness and head-movement is a bad style...
I think the opposite. Moon stops Zamora. Unbelievable fight though. Zamora reminds me of a mini, albeit worse, Cuevas. And Moon couldn't be in a...
Agreed. Who do we think has the better chin? I take Laporte. More proven.
I think Rose gets a bit overrated, but that's not to say he isn't as great as they come. He's an unbelievable bantamweight, and I think he was a...
Morales fucking hurts him.
I'd say Canto was definitely better than Kingpetch. Harada too, IMO. Those two would actually be my picks for two best. Been awhile since I...
I'd put Al Brown in before Marcel. Those top 6 fighters rival any countries ever IMO.
I tentatively pick Chitalada. He used to cut down from 130, and when he did it right he was a fucking animal. I don't think his jab is better than...
I'd completely buy an argument that he's the P4P biggest hitter ever.
@Xplosive, if you haven't seen it. Definitely check out Tanaka vs Kimura. It's a great, great fight.
I am absolutely watching. It'll be brilliant. I actually am inclined to go with Tanaka. Me and Rough had a conversation about the best Japs ever...
Very tough too.
Best Khaosai performances to check out, aside from Kim and Contreras? Sorry to derail, X.
Doug DeWitt was an excellent battler. Always fun to watch. I love the fight with Don Lee.
It'd be a good fight, but I think Arbachakov was on another level. I don't think Arbachakov would have to go life and death with McAuley, nor have...
I agree, but I don't think it's as good as DeJesus', or well equipped to chase fighters down.
Great stuff, pal. I agree that they're all different fighters, but I felt like that branch of Boxer-Puncher without the power was a good way to...
Duran beats him. Sure, competitive all the way through, but it's a clear win for Duran. I don't doubt that Chavez would be biting Duran's feints,...
Wilder is the obvious mention IMO.
Who wins? Should be a good scrap.
I agree, Tin. Just building on the point, I'd like to add that quite a few guys like that around the 50s, 60s & 70s. I've always thought that...
Fair enough, I did exaggerate.
Sure. I find all overrated and underrated, depending on who you talk to. Especially in certain aspects. For example, Morales' defence and skills...
Who wins this war? I take the Frog Puncher.
I think Lujan was honestly just much better. He could pick him apart like he did Zamora, or he could fight on the front foot like he did vs Isogami.
I have indeed. I know Me and Tin use this comparison quite a bit, but I think he's solidly on the level of Marquez, Barrera & Morales. Wins over...
I like to do it when I'm on the bath. It makes me hard. "Ugh go on son.... Tell me all about the 30s bantamweight scene!"
I think he was like a bantamweight Charley Scott, although obviously much better than Scott. I love how much leverage he gets on that left hook...
Separate names with a comma.
