It is difficult to separate defensive skills from chosen strategies (if it matters). Ray Leonard got hit way more than Floyd, but had he...
Actually the odds were very close for Taylor vs Hopkins. In fact there was a situation before the fight where you could make profit by betting on...
Or... ya'll must have forgot
Briggs might be ahead for three rounds or so, but even in his prime his gas tank was quite lacking and it would get pretty one-sided eventually....
I don't quite follow your point here either. If this was the most surprising result in UFC for a while, couldn't that also simply indicate that...
Corrales - Casamayor II. Chico's victory wasn't a big shocker, but him outboxing an Olympic gold medalist was quite surprising
Fedor in hospital with Corona
Axel Schultz vs Foreman Sturm vs Oscar
Oquendo is a great catch, but I think everybody would agree that Golota's best performances came against Bowe E: sorry, it said one of the best....
The Okinawa bits were cool but otherwise the season wasn't quite as good as the first two. Violence is cool, but here it seemed to fill the gaps...
The list of title contenders who Holmes stopped inside eight: Marvis Scott Frank Leon Spinks Scott Ledoux Leroy Jones Lorenzo Zanon Alfredo...
According to John David Jackson pre-alcoholic Kovalev only existed before the Chilemba fight
Jimmy Carter couldn't even defend his title against a B-class Hollywood actor
Gassiev lost a shutout against Usyk st cruiserweight and thus I can't see him becoming championship material among heavyweights either. I still...
Yeah, it happened June 8, 2002 - was the best night of my life.
Lennox vs Vitaly for me, obviously. In the end the result was pretty good for me as one guy won and the other gained a moral victory
I agree with you. Roy at 168 lbs is my pick for the most unbeatable fighter ever, although I realize he isn't as proven as some of the best....
Since we have been talking about knowing and not knowing the sport, how about this guy? Ismayl Sillahkh J/k, not trying to pick a new fight:Jest:
As for Xplosive, I'm sorry if I have caused trouble here. You have done a marvelous job as a mod and I do respect your knowledge. I do admit I...
I must still clarify that I don't think every single top fighter of today is better than anyone from the past. A generational level of a fighter...
Yet, you were the one who took a personal shot on this thread. Which I fucked up
No, and I have never said that. I see the gap between them (in favor of Hearns/Leonard) as smaller than you. Just like in this case. But...
Knowledge = agreeing with Xplosive. Ignorance = disagreement Learn everybody, learn
Ok. This here is the core of our different opinions. I see this drastically differently. Thanks for the informative and respectful discussion....
So boxing hasn't developed at all in 40 years, except backwards. Zero new technical or physical inventions have been made, nor even borrowed from...
I am not saying that, at all. Historically Gomez's record is better. But we don't know for sure if the opponents of one or other were better,...
I see the problrm, and this is also what is where our opinions often differ. I don't give that much weight on how fighters look in the ring. I...
But for the umpteenth time, we never TRIED to compare their resumes. That was never the question
Yes, because not knowing the level of the contenders of a super flyweight champion means I have no idea of who Gomez is, either. E: but don't...
I ran into this on YouTube. The guy who got the gold medal in '88 instead of Roy hasn't had it easy. He seems like a swell, honest guy here. The...
