Norris and Mosley weren't similar. Norris was better technically skilled, while Shane was more naturally gifted. I disagree about the speed...
I wonder where Wilder's bum ass is gonna be in 20 years. I truly hope he's saved the money he's made in his career. It's not like Tyson, where...
My take on this matchup is that the actual Mosley who fought at junior middle was past his prime. Norris might outpoint him. If the prime Mosley...
I would like to see Boots vs Stanoinis, or however you spell his name.
Wilder is a scumbag. Only got sympathy because of his daughter. Don't get me wrong, I dont wish a sick child on ANY MAN... not even a piece of...
I agree.
Liston beating Frazier, Frazier beating Louis, and Louis beating Liston is VERY possible. I think it probably made more sense to put Mike in...
I admit, it's a big step down from Lipinets. I don't even wanna watch it it's so gross a mismatch. Dulorme got destroyed by a journeyman level...
JC Candelo, who got battered by Kasim Ouma and was never a factor again. Not Canelo.
Mark Breland had a 77 inch reach. So, I think it's safe to say that Williams, Hearns, and Breland had the three longest reaches of any welterweights.
Highly highly highly doubt the 78 is right. That's Hearns' reach. Even the eye test shows that Spinks didn't have Hearns' reach. If Cory's reach...
I think its highly possible the 95 Hamed beats Barrera, yeah.
Monzon was 76 inches. Damn, so Hagler was like a legit 3-4 inches shorter than Monzon, with basically the same reach. Marvin was a freak. For...
Cory's reach only listed at 71 inches. That's pretty average. Hagler was basically the same height as Cory, and had a 75 inch reach. Adding to...
Michael Grant might have the record, but I'm not certain of it. 86 inches. That's longer than Lewis, Liston, Wilder, and Fury.
Good one. Paul actually had 1 inch on Hearns in reach (79 vs 78). Too bad he didn't know how to use that reach like Hearns did.
Yall are acting like I picked Rolly. I would pick Ryan over Rolly, just saying, Rolly would be live. Ryan is simply not good enough to call him a...
I don't mean to sound like Teddy Atlas, but I'm about to sound like Teddy Atalas. What I mean is that Rolly is a young guy who doesn't know how...
There's no way of being certain, but I would think that the build-up to Lewis-Tyson was probably the deepest thread ever. I know when Esk made his...
I hated those threads tbh lol. I feel like the longest threads in forum history, meaning either here or on Second's Out, remain those early 00s...
We've done this thread before, but not in a while. List some fights where you feel the outcome would change if the loser was in their prime. The...
The fact that even an ancient Louis had his moments against Rock in the middle rounds is telling.
Speaking of which... Louis would fuckin kill Wilder. I dont care if he's outweighed by 15 pounds and five inches shorter. The gap in class is so...
He really deserves credit. Not only was he doing shit that had never been done before... he was doing shit that hasn't been done SINCE. Well, it...
Louis has to be one of the first fighters to really lay guys out with the check hook. Later on you see guys like Robinson and Ike Williams with...
Who wins? I expect to everyone to say Calzaghe, but its funny how opinions change. I remember the Calz vs Michalczewski question getting posed...
Who wins?
I'm sure he will be a career loser, but Ryan is pretty iffy. I maintain that Romero would live be against Ryan. He'd be even more live against...
The Louis that beat Braddock would certainly not have lost to Marciano. I think very highly of Marciano, but that version of Louis would destroy him.
Just following up on this - that turning an opponent once you have them hurt is something Jofre did masterfully near the end of the Medel fight....
