You didn't read the thread. He said in an overhand right in an open stance against a southpaw. If the question was best overhand right KO...
Shibata beat a Saldivar who was no longer Saldivar. I would think that assuming Gomez moves up at his peak, and Gomez DID have fights at 126...
There is a lot to like about this crop, but none of them really have the electric appeal of the late 90s/early 00s stars. Canelo is the perfect...
You aren't missing much at all. I still follow the current scene, but 90% of my boxing viewing is older fights on YouTube. It's not just...
Holy shit. Is it 2003?
Gomez was the most exceptional talent theres ever been south of 126.
Forgot about the Kobayashi fight!!
His footwork in the Lopez fight is perhaps the best I've ever seen.
No. He was well faded in the Pintor fight.
Yeah you're right about the Holmes fight. That should have made my top 5.
Laporte was one of his best wins, but im gonna keep it to peak Gomez performances. 1. Obviously Zarate. 2. Yum 3. Lopez I 4. Davila 5. Meza
Matter of fact, I take that back. I suspect Joe would win.
It's hard to say. Seems like we'll never get a true sense of Beterbiev. I suspect he's just too strong and powerful for Joe, but who knows, maybe...
Yeah, Joe has no chance at all. At least Moorer has a remote puncher's chance. Joe doesn't even have that. I don't see Calz as a particularly...
Stevenson was more fast-twitchy and explosive. Moorer had quicker hands.
I think Tyson and Frazier both had better head-movement than Chang, but it's just nit-picking. I 110% agree with your top 5.
Oh, forgot about Azumah Nelson. He certainly deserves mention.
McGugian had good head-movement for a pressure fighter. Not masterful like Duran, Tyson, Nap, but it was very solid.
Duran, Napoles, Tyson, Chavez... Ingle...
Watch his head-movement in the Rosario fight. He belongs.
It just hit me that Chavez hasn't been mentioned yet.
Gomez Adams.
Yeah, I would agree with that. Moorer was a different class than the pimp. He certainly is more live against Roy than Stevenson.
Brandon Rios and Mickey Ward of course deserve mention.
You forgot Gomez.
Pops has a better chance than Calz. Calz has NO chance at all against a prime Jones. Zero. Even he knows it. The precious few times that Roy was...
Yup.
The difference being that there's no such thing as outjabbing Hearns. Even as an old man, Hearns outjabbed an all time great jabber in Hill.
And Rachman was literally an incredibly poor version of Sonny Liston.
