Yeah, Golota has become underrated. He was once extremely OVERRATED - i remember people speculating if a "focused" Golota could beat Ali and...
At say, 185. Who wins?
Roger had a superb jab. He really painted Paz with it. Though Roger was vastly inferior to his nephew, two things he had over his nephew was a...
The fact that Bud is facing the biggest test of his career at 34 years old is sad.
I don't think he'd win, because by 2000 he was a 4 round fighter. But I think he'd be dangerous for Ike those first four rounds.
Call me crazy, but I like the guy who beat Espana, Carr, Philips, Lopez, and Oscar (fuck the judges) over the guy who's beaten... nobody.
Plant beats Byron Mitchell. That much I'll give him.
I like Plant, everyone knows I'm of his few fans, but im realistic. He is not beating ANY of the golden era super middles. Roy, Toney, Ward,...
I think Abraham gets outboxed for awhile, but eventually catches up and knocks Caleb senseless.
Iran gives Plant a beating. Plant's lack of big power really hurts him against Barkley.
Speaking of which, I wonder if Roger vs Paz is on YouTube. Thats my favorite Roger fight. He beat the crap outta Paz. That fight was on the...
I think its worth comparing the two when there isn't anything Holy did better than Ali. Well, ok, Holyfield could throw a left hook a helluva lot...
There's nothing Holy brings to the table that Ali didn't surpass. Not even power, as I think early 70s Ali had better pop than Holy. The big...
I maintain that Holy is just not as good as peak Frazier. He's GREATER, but at no point was Holy as good as the Frazier who destroyed Ellis and...
I think you're overrating Holy based on what he was able to do against post-prison Tyson. Frazier presents an entirely different picture for him...
The fact that Qawi's style gave Evander so much Hell should let you know off the bat that Frazier is a nightmare for him. Frazier is quite...
What long run? Holyfield isn't outlasting Frazier. Joe had MUCH MUCH better stamina. The narrative about Holyfield being some marathon guy is...
The Frazier of Ali 1 would beat the shit outta Holy IMO. I don't even see it as all that debatable. Holy is greater and all, but at NO POINT was...
I wonder how Ike vs Tyson goes in 2000. Ike probably wins, but 2000 was the last year that Tyson was an elite heavyweight. He still had very good...
Here it is! I knew I wasn't losing my mind. The date wasn't official official, but I see no reason why it wouldn't have happened. Valero vs....
Ayala threw beautiful combinations. There now seems to be a misconception that he was just a left hooker, but he was extremely offensively talented.
I think he would have KO'd Moore. Davey was just too hittable.
Mario Maldonado is the guy you're referring to. Dropped Ayala and badly hurt him, but to Ayala's credit, he responded well and proceeded to...
Wrong. He was at 135. He had just beaten DeMarco. Top Rank's plan was for him to move up to 140 to fight Bradley, with the ultimate goal of...
Ike would have smashed Grant. That much is certain. The better question is Ike vs Vitali.
My only regret of the Wilder vs Zelenoff situation is that Wilder held back from hitting that waste of life with full power. He should have nailed...
I actually think Ayala was extremely talented, but he was in deep shit with the likes of Duran, Hearns, and Hagler around him. The 20 year old...
Valero was gonna fight Bradley - I'm surprised that so many people forget this. Valero would have gone in as the favorite, but knowing what we...
Yup. He was 20. He was scheduled to fight Davey Moore. We'll never know how that fight would have gone down, but Ayala would have gone in as a...
My personal opinion.. I think Ayala was more talented than Valero, but would have fared worse because he had a much deeper pool to try to swim in.
