The obvious answer is Duran. The transformation from attacking killer as a youth to methodical counterpuncher as an old man was pretty incredible....
Don't worry, Rodriguez and Starling would watch film of Thurman and Berto to enhance their skills.
McCrory was better than given credit for, but still, I don't think he beats Brown. Don't forget, McCrory was given Hell by Colin Jones. Simon...
I'd say that Rodriguez was at his best when he outboxed Griffith in their 2nd fight. He was a lot quicker of hand and foot than Starling, though...
Is Starling is out his league here?
He did, which explains why he was hard to handle for two speed demons in Camacho and Davis.
Joe was greater, but I think it's pretty damn close to 50-50.
Did Laila need 10 fights before she scored her first career KD? Ole Spadafora ass Shields.
While Hatton wasnt on the level of any of the guys I listed, yeah, he did have good offensive footwork.
If Shields is the GWOAT - and I dunno whether she is or not - I dont care about the joke sport, so I never watched Riker and Mann Wolfe in their...
Mugabi was never a great, but I think pre-Hagler he lays Norris out
Roy broke many conventions of footwork but he also started something that Floyd emulated from him... circling counterclockwise against a southpaw...
It's good for Terry's health that the Trinidad fight got canceled
Strictly offensive footwork. The immediate ones who come to mind: Napoles Duran 80s Tyson Chavez Prime Gomez Chocolatito Orlando Canizales Yuri...
I don't think so, but at least it's arguable. Norris vs early 80s Leonard isn't arguable. But I struggle to see Norris beating the Curry of the...
I never knew that Abel never laced em up. I always just assumed he had at least an amateur career. Going back to young Golovkin against Nunn, I...
34 in 1991 wasn't the same as 34 in 2020. "Modern training supplements" (wink wink) are keeping these guys fresher for longer now. 34 was old...
Something to glean from it in terms of what? The fight showed that Terry Norris was quite a talented fighter, and too much to handle for an...
Who wins?
Heavy Metal? Maybe I'm thinking of Hardware, which was a 1990 flick by Richard Stanley, and actually a very underrated sci-fi classic.
Yeah I'm not too keen on Bud being able to handle the truly elite welterweights. His comp at 147 has been abysmal. Imagine the paint job Starling...
Taylor vs Ramirez was definitely gonna happen this year if not for Covid. Now I'm hoping we can see it in early 2021 cause it seems unlikely for...
In fairness, I dont think the Curry of the McCrory fight is an easy fight for Napoles. But ultimately, if it's the Napoles of the first Cokes...
Who wins? I'd take Saldivar by decision. Dude is one of the short list for the all time best stamina, and he was a more cerebral and accurate...
I don't see peak Napoles having too much trouble outclassing Starling.
I concur Stinger. The Keed had a toughness about him that Curry simply lacked. He'd chew Curry up on the inside.
Can we change this to a men's boxing only forum? There should be a sub-section of the forum to discuss these sideshow hoes. BTW, Shields will...
Given Golovkin's putrid resume, it's hard to say. Guys like faded Ouma, Macklin, Stevens, and Geale were nothing like Michael Nunn.
I'd rather sit through a marathon of Sven Ottke and Johnny Nelson fights than see Ali vs Shields. Broads are horrible at boxing.
If women's boxing was banned tomorrow, like 3 people would care.
Separate names with a comma.
