I am not seeing the fight. The German guy AB faces shouldn't be too good, but after a 1,5 year layoff, a surgery and one Covid suffered Beterbiev...
Smokin Joe was a great fighter and had a good record: Ali, Machen, Ellis, Quarry, Bonavena, Chuvalo etc is a solid list of victories. I...
A former poster named Kid Dynamite, who also was whiskey's BFF, picked Terry Norris over Hagler
He is up there for sure. I'd say Hagler was even more unbeatable than Monzon. Monzon had some close fights in his prime, so I can picture someone...
True. Also, you would think that Hagler probably wasn't the favorite among barbers
This is the way I see it too. Imo the family can tell publicly whatever they feel like, and if they want to handle it as a personal matter, so...
But tbf, that careless attitude is what made Tommy the fan favorite that he is
Everybody knows I am far from a boxing romantic and I recognize that all sports change as does the world. Still, this era where we see "youtube...
Apparently Parker doesn't have to worry about his upcoming fights, as he is prosecuted for drug trafficking
Of course it is investigated. Also make sure you know where you hear this stuff from
Exactly. Heart attack, thrombosis, tear of the aorta etc can all happen without a forewarning for seemingly healthy people. Even if it were some...
Nah, if they hadn't done it, someone else would have. Promoters will always do what pays
Boxing historian Monte Cox, who years ago posted articles to this site, has apparently been a judge in Crumble's fight. If someone knows how to...
Thanks! I skimmed through the thread. They seemed to have really good ideas how to inspect the matter but they didn't seem to find any solid proof...
The record itself isn't impossible. I have personally seen a guy who went 2-39, was KOed 30 times and actually apologized a promoter for winning,...
Even though the thought of an Allen Smithee character might sound far fetched, I know for a fact that such thing has happened. In here, there was...
Is this guy a real person? He has his own wikipedia page. He has a record of 0-32, one NC and in all his fights he has lost in the first or...
The problem, which I tried to describe on the first page, is to separate "skill" from "tactics". Let's compare Lennox Lewis with Mike Tyson....
I'll still comment this. I find it puzzling that on one hand, people want to see a boxing bout as a 'fight' instead of a 'mere sport', as if it...
Of course, Wlad won his bouts, Bonecrusher didn't. In my opinion, the results are the only logical way to evaluate fighter's capabilities. If a...
Not a valid comparison. Yes, excessive clinching is forbidden as is excessive running. Stuff like low blows, elbows, head butting are forbidden...
...which lead to the longest period that a heavyweight champion has ever gone without going down, despite having a soft chin. So, great defense,...
As a fight, Brewster vs Liakovich was probably the best heavyweight bout, but if you consider the significance, then Vitaly vs Lewis
Morales vs Pac II is up there, great bout with a conclusive ending
Nunn should win and if they had a ten fight series, I think he would take about seven of them. However he was inconsistent both in his career and...
Good fight. I'd give a narrow edge to Golovkin based on his inside fighting skills and ability to retain his pace. Also, Golovkin's results...
The longer it went, the better Brewster's chances would be and I'd make him the slight favorite. However, Sanders has a real shot of bombing him...
Obviously.
Canelo still has things to prove, but considering how dominant he was against Callum I'd make him the favorite over Kessler as of now
This ranking method of yours, logical as though it is, leads to fundamentally wrong results at times. The Ring used similar approach some years...
