Tua gets mauled. He really does.
Id bet big with you gents Tyson would stop Tua.
Good one. Nightcrawler's assault on the White House to open X-Men 2. Wow!!! They tried to re-create it with Azazel in the latest X-Men film....
Hut may have even LESS regard for Tua than I do. You gotta respect that :lol:
How about it? Two limited, yet exciting contenders who perenially came up short against the best of their time (who were greats, to be fair)....
Holyfield-Frazier and Lopez-Hamed would be two to sell your first born for.
But like Stryker with Wolverine, no one would want him to :lol: "I would never let a metal beat me!" But Ive a feeling Charles would be...
Heres a fun one...Basilio & Trinidad at Welter.
Great fight. I more or less have it 50-50 on their best nights at WW, but Griffith wins at 154 going away.
Tua via KO in a wretched match.
And one of the least studied attributes of Charles was his heavy-duty punching.
Id make a tentative call of McCallum in about the 13th.
Give me McCallum in a pitch battle between, for mine, the top-2 JMWs in history. You all said it couldnt be done, but I achieved it...I picked...
Does a smaller, older, and altogether lesser fighter usually beat their foe, especially in said foes natural class? Theres only one Q...does...
Only off the top of my head, but Im gonna say Armstrong-Duran, Liston-Foreman, & Marciano-Frazier.
Cuevas in nine.
Much as I disrespect Tua, its crazy to think he wouldnt be emboldened beyond belief by squaring up to a Middleweight. Tua easily, I mean really...
...and thats just what Floyd Sr. attempts on Pedroza after the fight, in a Bowe-Golota style post-fight melee.
I thought about not replying, in anticipation of just such a response.
I would only prohibitively favour Ali, Liston, & Foreman. Close fights which could readily swing either way where I may or may not favour Lewis...
How often did you see Ali on the ropes between 65-67?
Not sure Id subscribe to that last line. Its pretty open to debate as I see it.
Hes in my top 10 ever, dont misunderstand that - but when factions start talking about him being in the top 3-5 of all-time, or H2H the 2nd best...
I agree totally. Unfortunately, I see size and a resulting fire-fight negating that. Offensively, Pacquiao can do this. Defensively? I have real...
Rosario was my fave. Chavez positively mauled him, made him look 2nd-rate. Wouldve enjoyed seeing Chavez in with Nelson at 130.
Cannot see Pacquiao besting Trinidad, personally.
Lewis has grown steadily in his own mythology in the short time since his exit. He is now REALLY over-rated in some quarters.
You really wish to evoke the O word here, CDogg? Youre a desperate man, Neil.
He did no such thing. It was a competitive loss, which De La Hoya avenged over a steroid-enhanced Mosley in the rematch.
I think we can all learn something here...Neil thinks Mosley did BETTER than De la Hoya. Both fights were Pacquiaos, every second. De La Hoya...
