Agreed. Boxing is the lone sport where you could make a legit case that no top-3 or top-5 athlete has participated in it since 1965. Also,...
This Tattis Jr of Padres seems pretty good. Love the swagger too
List instances where a fighter has scored an anomaly of a knockout or a KD, the type that he hasn't replicated since. Usually it is guys who are...
The most complete fighter doesn't necessarily win though, sometimes a super-talent in one area beats better overall skill. Pernell Whitaker...
Felix Trinidad had no notable amateur career that I would know of and he was for a short while the consensus #1 or very close to it
Ok, if that counts then the group of suitable names can't be big. What about Monzon?
I doubt Chocolatito had much of an international level amateur career
I have always been puzzled by the preference of 15 rounders. I get it that 15 rounds might decisively solve some 12-round fights. But doesn't...
One thing I have wondered is how much of this evolution of basketball would have eventually happened even without the rule changes, because of...
I am familiar with the book (and the movie) and the logic behind it, I just thought if there has been some other explanation offered. Personally...
In team sports (apart from soccer) there are more breaks in the action than ever before. Mainly for commercial reasons. This development has...
I think Canelo's latest outings are bit underrated. Callum Smith did knock out Groves, who gave a hard fight for Froch. Yes, boxing isn't...
Have these changes happened because of some rule changes or simply because this new approach is more effective (I'm asking since I know nothing...
I was reading a book by Tim S Grover, who was a personal trainer for Jordan, Kobe, Wade and such. In his second book he mentions how he was...
Agreed, imo Hatton' style is definitely bad for Locche, even though he might not be good enough to win. Constant pressure, fearless style and...
What do you think? From Fightnews: Triller: So You Think You Can Fight? Nigel Lythgoe, the television mega-producer and creative force behind...
I can't see a case being made for Dariusz. Tszyu at his best was ranked top 3-5 p4p, whereas Dariusz never broke to top-10. Perhaps he would...
Fury supports everything Saudi-Arabia stands for and more, and Hearn does anything for a nickel, but Joshua who has been vocal about human rights...
Gotcha. Personally I'd definitely make Floyd the favorite too, but prime Pac was scary good and Floyd would be pushed like never before
Beat perhaps, but outclass?
Canelo has proven to be better by quite a bit
I might be in the minority here, but I see a lopsided fight in favor of Holmes. Rocky faces all the same problems he did against Charles, Walcott...
I still don't really see why so much attention is given to losing a few rounds ( not meaning you). Most of the ATGs have lost rounds, even...
Really?
I didn't see it as unspectacular,but otherwise agreed. He gradually pounded out the resistance of a moving opponent, in an old-fashioned manner
Canelo is pretty solid
What if Qawi would fight very tall?
That is a highly impressive record indeed. However, it would seem that a single fight back then can't have been as physically demanding as they...
YouTube shows several games for free and also provides good highlights from all the games so I have been able to follow the season a bit. Astros...
Probably no. Had Wlad beaten Fury, it wouldn't have strengthened his reign much, if at all, since at the fight time Fury was overlooked by everyone.
