Zarate would beat both Castillo and Herrera. Castillo was a superb technician, but no, nothing about him suggested to me that he could handle...
Herrera was in a different class. Canizales IMO loses to that entire elite elite group of 60/70s bantams of Olivares, Jofre, Harada, Castillo,...
It's universal consensus that Duran is the Latin fighter GOAT. Rather than do another top 5, just a simple question, who comes in as the second...
Reggie was more proven. I make him the solid favorite.
I think he blows it, as usual. Holmes could crack, I think he gets Graham out of there late while down on the cards.
I agree with what I said 11 years ago.
Trinidad would stop Lopez, I would bet my house on it. I don't care how durable JL was, he was just too easy to hit, and if Trinidad is hitting...
Wilder actually has a remote chance now, as it seems Fury is just an inconsistent trainer. Wilder and Fury deserve each other. Both a trainwrecks.
Whats dangerous is when it becomes delusion - I'm talking to you, Wilder. "I lost my focus and didn't train as hard as I should have" is a...
You gotta realize that ego and a certain level of arrogance drives great athletes. A symptom of that ego is the irrational belief that you're...
Crampacquiao lol
I can't see Loma beating the mid 70s Lopez. I mean, I CAN see it, but it's the outcome I see happening. I see Loma getting gradually broken down,...
Pressuring prime Lopez never proved to work. Both Chacon and Sanchez beat him playing the aggressive counterpuncher game. That wasn't Jeff. I...
Oh shit! Forgot to mention Whitaker-Haugen.
Who wins?
I think Reggie has a good chance of winning it, yes. I would, however, side with McCallum by close decision... very close decision. Good matchup...
Napoles-Cokes 1 is my choice if we're talking pure perfection. If we're talking historical significance, then the winner is Ali-Liston 1. Was...
Gomez, at 20 years old, taking the super bantamweight title from Dong Kyun Yum. Gomez gets off to a shaky start, and shows like Pryor-esque...
I was gonna argue that the smaller guy crop is better now, but forgot that the 90s had Too Sharp, Finito, Carbajal, Canizales, and Arbachakov.
Nah, this crew objectively is weaker than a Lewis, Jones, Mosley, DLH crew. Lummox would wipe his ass with the gypsy cokehead and the Alabama retard.
Also would add Gomez-Yum, which is fresh in my mind as I rewatched it last night. Gomez got off to a shaky start, but after the early rounds, he...
Cervantes' age is accurate imo. He was in his late 20s when he won the junior welter title.
I would add: McGuigan-Pedroza Esparragoza-Cruz
Danny showed up for a payday. Ugas will try to win.
Ugas is a helluva lot better than Cherry Garcia, so if Spence faces him, we'll get a true idea of what Spence has left.
I picked him to smoke both Cotto and Hatton. It seems hard to believe now, but this forum was split 50-50 on Pac-Hatton.
What Olivares had over Zarate is that he was that he was successful at higher weights. I dont see much separation between them at 118.
Conn is one of the light heavyweight greats.
I would add Yuri Arbachakov vs Kittikasem 1
Separate names with a comma.
