Apparently its close to done. Either late May or early June. Looking like it's gonna land at Hibs stadium. @Hut*Hut you gonna go?
The latest social media claim is that Tank beats a prime Duran and prime Oscar at lightweight.
I think 6 is a bit much. This is a great fighter in Barrera we're talking here. I think Fenech TKO 11 is more realistic.
Disagreed on Fenech. He was very much at his peak at 122. Agreed he overwhelms Barrera in the end.
The General forum has become the level you would see in a Facebook boxing group.
If Laciar were around today he'd be regarded as highly as Chocolatito. In the 80s, he doesn't even make the top 10. That's how absurdly and...
I'm trying. Classic seems like a shell of what it was 4-5 years ago. General looks like it's at an all time low.
This fight is never mentioned among Duran's great performances, but it should be. I think around this fight was really the start of Duran's true...
I'm not sure if Galaxy had the resume to make the top 10, though to be fair, Galaxy is underrated based on his dominance. I'm actually a really...
Duran damn sure has better wins in the 80s than Chavez.
Who wins?
I'm looking forward to Tank-Ryan, but not as much as Fulton-Inoue and Taylor-Lopez.
Absolutely. Josh is better than Tank, and Fimo is better than Ryan.
No. He didn't do enough in the 80s that would warrant putting him above those 5 guys. He's definitely top 10 though.
What's your top 5 in arguably the deepest decade in boxing? I should say what's your 2-5, since Leonard is the consensus greatest fighter of the...
Both guys are coming off gifts, so it should be interesting. Taylor obviously should be the favorite, but I won't be shocked if Fimo pulls this...
I'd definitely go with Chico. Chacon gives him a helluva fight, but Corrales' firepower and accuracy would be too much for the hittable Bobby to...
Good. I don't need to see Taylor vs Catterall 2. Don't get me wrong, I feel bad for Catt because I felt he beat Taylor, but I'd much rather see this.
Loma takes a beating against the early 00s Castillo. JLC would simply be too big and strong for him.
I doubt it happens at all.
It'll surpass 500k.
On second thought, I'd probably give it to Ward over Floyd. The Froch, Dawson, and Kov rematch wins eclipse what Floyd did in the decade. So...
Yeah, 2010s was the weakest decade in modern boxing history. Very very poor decade compared to the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and 00s. I'd give it...
I think Nunn would knock him out.
Well my biased opinion is that only 66 Ali is a favorite over 88 Tyson.
I kinda wanted to add Louis to this discussion. I don't think Louis matches up well with Tyson at all. I think Mike would have iced Joe. But Louis...
I'd venture to say that this one wouldn't last the distance. Who wins? I'd favor Carter to ice Mugabi in a war. Carter's power punches were far...
I'd pretty confidently take by Benn by KO in a brutal, yet brief war. Nigel was just more proven, and beat better fighters. His technique was also...
Yup. No interest in it now. Both are shot old men. Prime-for-prime it isn't very compelling either. Golov would have been too big and strong for...
Fully agreed with the second paragraph. Napoles-Cokes 1 gives it a run for its money though, in terms of mixing offense and defense.
Separate names with a comma.
