Yeah, my opinion on Holmes has kinda dropped. Not only Lewis, but I think prime Frazier and prime Liston also whup Holmes.
Lol. Scott would beat ten shades of shit outta Fonfara. Adamek vs Scott is a damn good matchup. But probably Scott. He peaked higher.
DM had by far more longevity, but for one peak performance, i dont think DM was as good as the Torres who thrashed Pastrano. I think D'Amato's...
Harding had an excellent chin. It was one of his best attributes. He was only stopped in the Andries rematch, when he was outta shape.
I uploaded his stoppage win over Nestor Giovanni about a year ago. Overall, probably Harding's best performance. He actually beat up Giovanni...
I would favor Gonzalez by decision.
Let's say the Rossman that upset Galindez in their first fight versus the Harding that upset Andries in their first fight. Who wins?
A matchup cannot possibly be worse for The Hawk than this one. Love Julian to death, everyone knows that, but Tiger beats the dog shit outta him.
I would favor Harding, and for one big reason - stamina. Harding had endless stamina, Pascal had pathetic stamina. Pascal would no doubt build a...
My controversial opinion is that Marg wasn't loaded in their first fight.
I feel it's a very different story, prime-for-prime, because of how quickly and effectively Mike could get inside and explode. While Lewis' chin...
A very real possibility, but more and more I just consider Holmes' vulnerability to right hands.
100% agree.
I dont think there's 5. I think there's 3. I think 66 Ali, 88 Tyson, and 73 Foreman beat prime Lewis. That would be all. I used to favor prime...
Nap's footwork was flawless.
Never in all my years of following boxing has there been a year this bad in the sport.
I might add, the point I made about Roy's foot placement against southpaws, Ray Leonard did the same thing against Ayub Kalule - intentionally...
In hindsight, Ouma was just a good fighter. Capable of beating other good fighters, but would have always fallen short against the very top. A MM...
The Hall fight is the perfect example. Right off the bat, Roy is moving in what conventional wisdom tells you is the wrong way against a SP. And...
What Jones did was instead of keeping his lead foot outside the lead the foot of a southpaw, he actually stepped inside the wheelhouse, which is...
Both Duran and Chavez were effective against southpaws. Trinidad handled southpaws well. Two Aussie legends, Fenech and Tszyu, were both very...
That's the main reason I would take prime Whitaker over prime Floyd. It's not that Whitaker was some full level above, it's that the styles favor...
Bud will go down as a fighter whom I liked, but really disappointed me. So content at beating garbage. It's surprising, because circa 2013, he...
The 1990 Foreman still had a bit of quickness and velocity left. Not compared to 73 Foreman, obviously, but he wasn't a sloth. I would give him a...
BTW - when assessing Taylor's chances against the elites of 140 in the last 25 years, I forgot that Oscar and Cotto fought at 140 in the last 25...
Tszyu is a terrible matchup for Taylor. Pac and Whitaker are the only two southpaws who beat Tszyu at 140. Meaning, without a doubt beat him....
Yeah, the mid-70s Conteh would really beat the Hell outta Froch. Conteh was far better from the outside with his piston jab. Conteh was 100x...
CTE is most apparent in Bowe and Taylor. Why? Because Bowe and Taylor were good family men before brain damage set in. Then all of sudden they're...
Yup. Beat me to it. Only southpaw he excelled against was a washed up Camacho. I think it's a very real possibility that the mid-80s Camacho...
90s George likely beats every one of these fucking scrubs today except for MAYBE Fury, but in all honesty, the 1990 Foreman is probably too much...
Separate names with a comma.
