Why is nobody addressing my point that Monzon was already a seasoned grown man when beat Benvenuti for the title.
Duran was a nobody also. He wouldn't win the title over Buchanan for another two years. And let's not forget, he WASN'T expected to beat...
When did I ever say he was a small lightweight? I didn't. Truthfully, I think his optimal weight would have been 140. He was a big lightweight,...
And lemme add ANOTHER notch to Duran's belt... at 19 fucking years old he beats featherweight great Ernesto Marcel, who a few years later would go...
To that second sentence I say... at least Duran tested himself against Hearns. 19 pounds above his prime weight. TRUST ME, Monzon would have had...
Has nothing to do with Duran fandom at all. Duran's not even my favorite Latin fighter - Benitez is. Did you see Benitez on my list???? Gomez and...
Monzon's not even the undisputed GOAT in his division. Duran is. I have ZERO issue whatsoever with Monzon at #2 on the Latin list, but there's no...
It's cool to dissent from conventional thinking sometimes, but in this case just go with what's widely accepted, and correct. Duran's the ONLY...
Read my reply to Karl, and tell me logically what case Monzon has. OR, if you don't think Monzon has a case, tell me who does. There's nobody...
Karl, couple things: Firstly, I wouldn't call an over-the-weight non-title bout Duran at his "best." When is that EVER considered a fighter at...
Choco has zero case for top 5. You know that. I'd rank him top 15, which is high. Theres been sooooooooo many Latin greats. The fact that Choco...
And Karl, do you mean that Canelo ranks top 10 among Mexican fighters? Or Latin fighters period??????? Cause if it's the latter... huh?????
My personal opinion is:. 1. Theres no logical argument for anyone else but Duran at 1. He's the consensus Latin GOAT for very good reason. No one...
Anyway, here's my list: 1. Duran 2. Jofre 3. Monzon 4. Napoles 5. Ortiz I actually changed it from yesterday. Think this is the one I'll stick...
LMAO! That Ugo hate train is never late.
Yeah, Norris is not stopping Whitaker in 95, at a point where Pea wasnt washed up yet. Whitaker would go on to arguably BEAT Oscar two years...
Lol. He's batshit. What in the living fuck is he talking about?
Eubank is a grade-A nutcase. Truly, the guy has something wrong with him upstairs. Always has. I couldn't envision holding a normal conversation...
[MEDIA] Not gonna lie, Naz is a hilarious lil fucker. Credit to hit for nailing lisping ass Eubank in the grill. "Chris.... do you like me belts?"
Bazooka was shot to Hell in the Lockridge fight. He was coming off not only a brutal beating at the hands of Nelson, but a brutal win over...
I agree.
On a serious note, I think Ortiz would have outboxed Chavez, but don't let McDogg here that. He'll raise Hell about that opinion.
Chavez actually has Ortiz beat. The latter was just a drunk. Chavez is also a cokehead.
I dunno if the same is true for Ortiz. He might have recovered, but he was a self-admitted alcoholic in his prime. Ortiz vs Chavez in their...
Black Beauty would have had Canelo at 1. And sadly, I'm probably not exaggerating. Sly thought Duran was an inconsistent fighter. Despite the...
Olivares is in good company then. Carlos Ortiz and Chavez were alcoholics too. I do agree with Zarate winning though.
The two guys generally considered the 2-3 greatest bantams in history behind Jofre. Both murderous punchers, both superb offensive technicians....
That's a respectable list. I think I went: Duran Jofre Monzon Chavez Ortiz But I think I'd change my mind and swap Ortiz for Napoles.
Interested to see Stinger's list. I know Napoles will be on his, but who else?
I posed the question on another forum, and opinions varied. Who would you say are the top 5 greatest Latin fighters of all time? I mean, outside...
