I can think of several MWs/SMWs who I'd pick over Ward, Calzaghe is not one of them
Are you kidding? This is common knowledge for anyone who's spent any time watching old/classic games. Google it. I don't have a "history of the...
Ward 8-4 sounds right
Also, Nelson at 126. Not sure who I'd pick at 130, JMM had evolved more as a fighter there & I think (in my mind) he was at his peak there.
Except Whitaker was the one who got robbed against Chavez, similar to how Marquez was the one who got robbed against Pac
Ali would make Vitali look like a statue. 12-0 UD
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B22U73v7kAA he also crushes shaq in the stamina dept.
it wouldn't have hurt anything, and the streak isn't really a small thing.
You realize ball-handling was completely different back then because players COULD NOT TOUCH THE SIDE OF THE BALL, right? [IMG] which hand...
co-sign on both counts
quit hating. cali punk > *
West not being able to dribble with his left is a myth, he just didn't do it as often because of the rules around dribbling & stealing back then
this ^^ people act like Chamberlain spent his whole career playing the NBA equivalent of chavez jr's first 40 opponents (white midgets), that...
Wilt was quicker I think in my mind (sub 11 second 100), had FAR better hops, and if he wasn't as strong, he wasn't down by much (could bench 500...
A record is a record, Wilt's record is the record IMO. There were less teams back then (8) & more A-list players, so Wilt (for example) went up...
don't forget about Oscar Robertson.
Yeah, because Froch is really comparable to Roy Jones Jr or Michael Nunn (who he KO'd anyway). This re-imagining of Toney as a counter-punching...
:lol: I haven't heard that name in years, is he still around?
Spinks is who I have as well, but I agree with joony.. the Jones Jr that beat Hall (~2000) is easily one of the best LHWs of all time. Spinks...
LOL FUNNIEST POST OF THE DAY Toney would beat the ever loving shit out of Froch
czyz
Lang KO1
Yeah, but Hopkins understood that too, and even in his prime he was a very economic fighter. That's not good for Toney. I agree that if they...
Foreman definitely had power that, while it may not have been effortless, he didn't put as much effort into it as he could have. He didn't have...
I'm sure this matchup has been done before, but I'm doing it again anyway. Roy Jones Jr circa 2000 vs the '82-83 Michael Spinks. Who wins?
Zoo gets overwhelmed by Taylor's handspeed & combos, Taylor UD
Yeah, but Nunn was way ahead when he got stopped. Had he kept sticking and moving, he would've been fine. Hopkins is a much more disciplined...
Good fight. Someone's winning inside the distance. Smart pick is Benn, but it could just as easily be Pavlik for the reasons REED stated.
Can you imagine the trash talking? It'd be epic.
IMO it makes more sense to hold Toney's fights with Tiberi & Thadzi against him than it does to hold those fights against Hopkins
Separate names with a comma.
