Set for Sept. 18 on Showtime. Great matchup! I cant wait. Let's keep our fingers crossed that injuries or Covid don't fuck it up.
It could argued that Mike had better handspeed than Ali, and thats not an exaggeration. Mike's handspeed was arguably more impressive than Ali's,...
People forget that shot to pieces Philips had Hatton pretty badly wobbled with a counter right uppercut. Ricky was never able to SERIOUSLY damage...
Monzon was far and away the better fighter, but was Joe's size advantage enough to win?
Agreed with every word.
Who wins?
97 Philips stops Hatton late imo.
Yup, I was thinking the same. Moon by KO in a brutal war.
This would quite obviously be a war. Who wins?
Liston is absurdly underrated, and I think there's times Holy gets overrated. I would take the Cleveland Williams version of Liston over Holy
Overall, all athletes have gotten faster, and we know a big reason for that... I would note that in terms of handspeed, that the four fastest...
Great stuff!
How so has Hatton become underrated? No one calls him a scrub, or says that he wasn't a very good fighter. But also, no one considers him a...
Here's a matchup I think favors Louis. Smokin Joe was a beast, but I just don't like his odds walking into the artillery of a prime Louis.
Arguably the best bantamweight matchup of all time to make. Who wins?
Louis would execute Wilder.
Cooney would have fucked Morrison up.
Winnable fight for the Brown Bomber? Or is Mike just too big and powerful?
Ricky beat 2005 Tszyu. Could he have beaten the Tszyu of 5-6 years earlier?
Yeah, Aaron figures to be too quick and dynamic for JCC, without coming apart late like Mel did.
I feel like Casa would stop Roger late while down on the cards.
I think Zarate gets Canizales out late. Not a clean stoppage, but the ref would be forced to step in and save Orlando. Probably circa 12-13.
It's obviously been done in the past, but not in awhile. 1980 Pryor vs 1990 Chavez. Who wins?
Inoue would smoke Rigo at this point. 2012 Rigo would outclass Inoue.
I hesitate to favor Khaosai over Rigo considering he never did anything above 115. Canizales? It depends, if he has the fire to consistently push...
Ortiz is good enough that he compelled @valdosta to pop in and make his once in every 100 years appearance at Fightbeat. How are you old friend?...
Pintor would mentally break Rigo imo.
Separate names with a comma.
