Spinks IS one of the best fighters of the 80s.... at 175. P4P he was a FAR better fighter than Lummox. But at heavy, this is a complete mismatch....
Same. Makes me wonder what woulda happened had DLH actually fought a welter Tito who WASN'T struggling with the weight.
Leonard wouldn't have to "stalk" Ike to stop him. He could simply catch him between combos the same way Oscar did. Quartey had flawed technique...
I'm all about supporting black business, but how I feel about Tyler Perry is that he's a coon and a closet faggot and his movies are modern...
Ride the wave when he need be? Against who? Lopez was one shot away from having him out, but JL was a terrible finisher. Couldn't put away a James...
I'm in shock!
Ahhh.... Dmitry Pirog. Laid out glass chinned Jacobs with one punch, looked it was it was the birth of a new middleweight star.... then dropped...
You're making it seem like I said Leonard would treat him like Pete Ranzany. That's not what I'm saying. At SOME point, Leonard would catch Ike...
One of the top 5 "what if?" matchups of the 90s. Who wins? I can't envision Ike winning this. Quartey had the style to be Hell for Oscar, and...
I don't buy that. Quartey wasn't a big hitter. Duran, despite being a smaller man, had more natural power than Ike. But even IF Ike hit as hard...
Terp has a looonnnggg, loonnggg history of overrating the living HELL outta Ike Quartey. I feel I rate Ike correctly. He was a good-to-very good...
No. Quartey has a better chance of getting stopped than Tito. There's the possibility of Leonard being wary of Tito's power just enough to stay...
Yeah. Only time Bruno was really spooked was in the Tyson rematch. Mike had him beat before the first bell. Roy doesn't have the firepower to...
Of all them, your boy Quartey has the best chance of getting stopped.
Leonard would stop Trinidad, ESPECIALLY the weight drained Tito that Oscar faced. Oscar COULD have stopped Tito if he really put his foot on the...
Every punch Rosario landed on Bramble sounded like a light heavy hitting a lightweight. Chapo had frightening power.
Hatton never fought a significant fight at lightweight in his entire career. I'd have to check Boxrec, maybe when he was 19-20 he did. But as a...
Duran was a masterful inside fighter. Hatton, not so much. For a short pressure fighter, Hatton wasn't that effective on the inside, which is why...
Bramble, because Hatton would be a corpse at 135.
What's your prediction?
In his adult years? I don't think so. Hatton was about as true a junior welter as you can possibly get. He was far too big for 135, yet entirely...
Duran and Hatton were both aggressive and dug the body, that's LITERALLY where the similarities end. Duran was so much more talented and skilled...
BTW, I hope you were being sarcastic calling Hatton's pressure "Duran-esque".
135???? Hatton could never make lightweight. This would have to be 140. I believe that Bramble in his VERY brief prime was P4P better than...
It would be naive to believe that Cuevas WOULDN'T land on Floyd. Floyd isn't the unhittable phantom that Sly and casual fans have made him out to...
You are 100% correct. But Oscar's problem in this matchup is physical also. He's physically outgunned by Hearns. It's easy to assume that he...
I'm only giving Oscar the benefit of possibly going the distance because the thread says 147. At 154, I have almost no doubt that Hearns wins by KO.
"70/30 and I make you good boy! 70/30 I make you very good boy! 70/30 ya ass is a good boy! 70/30 and ya ass is the goodest good boy ever!"
"I've never seen this Laguna bum, but either way, Floyd wins with consummate ease."
I'd take Bruno by KO. For as much flack as we give big Frank, he was a HELLUVA lot better than fuckin Ruiz. Especially in the power department....
