:Jest: Love the upskirt shots on the round card girls. :Jest:
At 126, I could potentially see Saddler winning an inside battle by imposing his strength and experience (at that weight) on Arguello. However,...
It was only a measly 17 in a row. Nonono [MEDIA]
Cleveland Williams could quintuple up on his left hooks: [MEDIA] Like Gavilan, Barney Ross had a great left hand that was not necessarily...
Say what you will about Marvin Johnson, but he threw his southpaw left fast and from a variety of angles: [MEDIA]
Also, DeLaHoya.
I'd say Kid Gavilan may have had the most skillful left hand in history - he could double and triple up on his hooks, use the jab to block his...
Whoever lands first.
After putting a lot of thought into this, I think I'd give the edge to Rosario on both counts. Not only do I think he was a more skilled and...
Carter was a very good boxer/technician with a big punch. His main weakness was that he could sometimes be too patient or methodical for his own...
I would argue that he had other stoppage wins worth noting. -Walter Cartier was a ranked MW contender who outweighed Gavilan by about 9 pounds...
In terms of quality of opposition, I think they're fairly comparable - they each beat one aging ATG (Holmes and Cervantes) and one ATG who peaked...
In general, I think Manny's lack of big power or physical advantages would be his undoing against fellow ATGs like Zarate.
Dang, that was a pretty bad omission on my part. Those pre-film old-timers are tough to rank, though.
That's exactly the scenario I thought of when I saw the title of this thread.
Yes, I think those fights would've played out largely the same. I think Olivares was ready to be taken at that time. That's why I think Herrera...
Crawford used to remind me of Brown when he first came up.
If Rosario didn't simply bomb out a fighter, he had trouble sustaining offense over the course of an entire fight - see Ramirez, Davis, Camacho,...
Ike Williams vs. Lomachenko. Yeah, I said it. :afro: :Rock::slick::Jack::Dan1::Elmo:
If it's a track meet, Gainer wins easily.
I don't think Zarate was ever really the same after the Gomez shellacking. Even though I thought he beat Pintor (though I felt it was a closer...
I actually think it might be the other way around - I think it could be argued that Herrera rates higher based on better individual wins, but I...
Yes, same with them. It wasn't my intention to dispute any existing title claims.
Dang, I forgot about Packey... I probably should've rated him ahead of Tendler. For purposes of this thread, I would acknowledge Wolgast as a...
Who wins this collision of LHW brawlers?
I also thought Randall should've been ahead on the cards regardless. It was a flagrant robbery on every front IMO.
If you could single out just one fighter in each class as the best to never win that particular title, who would it be? I think my list would be,...
Tommy Hearns vs. Lloyd Honeyghan Ezzard Charles vs. Mike Rossman Lennox Lewis vs. Floyd Patterson Hagler vs. Joppy Arguello vs. Hamed
These lists suffer from a serious lack of Battling Battalino. :old1:
Shibata is such an odd case. When he wasn't being starched within the first 3 rounds of a fight, he was a pretty darn good all-around fighter....
Separate names with a comma.
