Adrien Broner vs Marcos Maidana is the most famous cherry picking gone wrong IMO.
James Kirkland vs Nobuhiro Ishida is an obvious one. Not only was Ishida supposed to be a tune up fight but they didn't even have a Japanese...
Boxing is subjective, you can think that one era is better than the other. It's just like listening to music from another era and comparing them...

You have people on that forum that actually considers Willie Pep, Joe Louis, Ezzard Charles and Robinson sloppy, I'm dead serious. It is truly...
What are your thoughts on the idea that fighters back then were overrated and have no skills? Nowadays you'll have people saying that fighters...
Good one. Just an all round complete fighter who can do it all. Harada was also great to watch too.
Donald Curry deserves a mention. Clean, precise, and efficient in his prime.
Eusebio Pedroza was also very beautiful to watch when he wasn't punching fighters in the balls.
I would also add: Willie Pep Miguel Canto Harold Johnson Luis Manuel Rodriguez Alberto Davila Lionel Rose Sumbu Kalambay Yuri Arbachakov
Who are some of your favorite boxers that you think has a style that you could just watch all day? Pretty much fighters that had a style that...
Chang's hairstyle was a level below Gushiken's afro though. :afro:
I don't think anyone expected Marcos Maidana to get anywhere, especially after losing to Khan and Alexander. Nobody thought he would end up...
2 awesome fighters @ 108, one being a fast, flashy swarmer and the other a sharpshooting pressure fighter. Who do you favor in this highly...
Leonard was more than worthy to carry the Sugar name, he was that great. Both at their best I can see Leonard winning 1 fight and losing the rest...
Alfonso “Peppermint” Frazer looks very slick and smooth against Nicolino Locche. He doesn’t seem to be mentioned enough. Frazer puts on an...
He did have a tough fight with Luke Campbell and got dropped by him, and then later KO’d him with a body shot. I’d say he’s already had a taste of...
I think that was the best Ryan has looked by far. Yeah the opponent wasn’t the greatest but he really showed some improvements in his game. Still...
I think Ivan Calderon deserves a mention when it comes to slick southpaws. Iron Boy had some great movement and defense in his prime. He was...
Yori Boy Campas seemed like he modeled himself after Chavez but was obviously not as good.
Thought about this thread when I saw this. Fighters similar to each other For me I think the term "poor man's" is a bit harsh. Fighters will...
Good performance from Ioka. [MEDIA]
2 big bombers at Featherweight. Who do you see winning this explosive match up?
Looks like Ioka dominated and outworked him. Time for Nietes to hang them up. He's got nothing left. Just sad knowing that he's never had the...
WBA has ordered Bivol to defend his title against Zurdo. Looks like Bivol vs Beterbiev will have to wait, but we still have a very good fight on...
The rematch is this Wednesday. First fight was a nice boxing chess match from 2 skillful operators. The rematch may lean towards Ioka's favor this...
Leigh Wood stopping Michael Conlan deserves a mention. What a comeback.
Bump. Just came across Enrique Pinder, the guy who became undisputed at BW and has wins over Rafael Herrera and Chucho Castillo and I gotta say...
Magsayo is so goddamn frustrating to watch. He just plods forward, has very little boxing IQ and has no plan B other than just trying to knock the...
