Oh yeah? I quite like Tall Paul, how about you?
I remember that, I think I was more saying that Hatton was stronger, and might be able to bully Floyd around. Clearly that wasn't true, at least...
We'll see old boy, we'll see. Khan does actually look better since joining Freddie "The Alchemist" Roachenhausen, maybe due to the awesome PEDs...
If he hurts Mosley, then no doubt, I'll concede he has power at welterweight. But you're wrong about me underestimating his pop. Even as far back...
The main thing for me with this mythical matchup, is it's assuming that Valero has a Castillo like chin, when has he taken a shot from someone who...
Yep, as I said, I think that's what impressed me the most. Not just that he fought with the cut and won, but the fact that it didn't seem to...
That's pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty unlikely, even though Khan is twice his size.
I think it's a bit premature to confidently state Valero would beat Corrales. Based on what? He's beaten Mosquera and DeMarco. Don't get me...
RJJ, who would you pick out of Pacquiao and Valero?
Chico's punches weren't slow. His punches could find their target pretty quick, plenty of fighters didn't see that left hook coming inside. Like...
But you still haven't said where Floyd has shown good power. Zab was battered and bloody sure, he was a beaten man, but Floyd didn't stop him,...
Don't get me wrong, Duran - Corrales would have been one sided and Duran would have won without a doubt. But he would have had to be careful...
What do you mean how do you demonstrate above average power? That's like saying how do you gauge power full stop. Well, by seeing how one's...
Kenneth, in what fights has he demonstrated above average power at 147 though?
:lol::lol:
Innit. I too thought he looked very good, but people are acting like he just KO'd an elite fighter. Let's put it into perspective.
To say Floyd hit as hard as Vernon in a P4P sense at 130 is not a crazy stretch. To say he hits as hard as Vernon at 147 in a direct sense is a...
Having previously been completely miffed at the hype, I was legimitately impressed by Valero. And I like him, he is clearly a warrior, and going...
Vernon wasn't particularly aggressive, didn't often go for the KO, but he could punch. He had a very hard right hand, and good uppercuts.
He's not an infighter though is he, he doesn't throw proper short, crisp, compact hooks like Corrales. Like I said, Valero would probably be...
http://www.sherdog.net/forums/f53/allen-green-called-out-nick-diaz-1020124/ Do you think this fight is remotely possible? Who would you pick? :lol:
I kind of agree. It's fun to ponder sometimes, and wonder how a certain matchup would have went, but I prefer to discuss real matchups - which is...
It wouldn't really look like either of them. Obviously Floyd would be far more defensive than Leonard, and the Duran that turned up to the rematch...
He has slightly faster hands, but his punches are a bit more telegraphed. And Corrales generated incredible power up close, he would score KO's or...
Honestly, I disagree. Like I said he would give it his best shot no doubt, but would be pretty much outclassed and outgunned. Pacman would stop...
Yep. In fact, being a Valero fan I'm amazed that Steve Dave would want to see that fight :lol: Valero is like a worse version of Pacman. Pacman...
I could say exactly the same thing in reverse. Standing and trading with Chico gets you a one way trip to the canvas, and that's what would have...
Hearns and Leonard definitely are, but I think Duran's a much worse matchup than Pryor. I could see Pryor beating Floyd, but he was more...
Excellent post. The only thing I disagree with is underrated defense. Any true boxing fan knows Duran had brilliant defense. I think what is...
Funny you say that, I happened to watch the Floyd - Castillo 1 fight the other day, with the sound down, because I was talking to my girlfriend at...
