No, you completely missed the point I tried to make (probably my own fault). Picking that version of Tyson over Frazier accomplishment-wise would...
Mind you, this all began from your take that "idiots" would pick Inoue over Gomez. In my opinion we don't have the certainty that they were on...
The comparison here was Tyson before the Berbick fight, and Inoue of now. Up until then Tyson hadn't exactly cleaned the house, although he had...
But aren't you saying here that Inoue, nor anyone else, can ever reach Gomez' level? Since the era is poor, Inoue won't be able to prove himself,...
Oh yeah, that's right. They have different names and everything
Had you ACTUALLY said this, we wouldn't have had a problem in the first place. You said they were different level of fighters. That can only...
Should you learn to simmer down perhaps? I never picked Inoue. I said I don't think they are on different levels as fighters, and I maintain...
It wasn't life and death. It was a hard, bruising affair against one of the bigger punchers of recent years and Inoue never went even down. Also,...
Even though Gomez was much more accomplished than Inoue, I don't see them being in totally different levels. Inoue hits like a mofo and seems to...
My father remembered Gomez from 1970s amateur world championships (amateur boxing was shown here back then, pro fights were not). Gomez won the...
A funny story about Ftoch vs Kessler II btw. The supervisor of the bout had agreed with Kessler's corner that he would secretly let them know the...
I haven't followed midget weights enough to know his worth, but at some point I watched about half dozen Galaxy fights. His opponents in those...
While this is a good point and an excellent post as well, you have to also remember that Tszyu was clearly the best fighter of his division for a...
Better than yours, Gladys
But Ali was the clear world champion between 74-79 (minus the Spinks accident) and his best, of which we saw glimpses of in the 70s, was higher...
Unless you count in popularity or impact to sport, I can't see Holyfield that high. His prime at cruisers was in the 90s. In the heavyweight he...
Those three are probably the top-3 of who beats who in the heavyweight history
So I read Max Baer's biography and an I ran into an interesting anecdote. Bear was preparing to fight Louis, and Ray Arcel was asked to train him...
Curry would shine in about five rounds, Oscar would narrowly capture the rest, and the decision
Once again, the flack I have given has been about measuring different eras on same scale. Just like with Nelson: he lost several rounds plenty...
I don't think you were. You are sitting on two chairs here. For one part you say that "Loma is truly a great fighter, just not in the class of...
From television, Holyfield vs Foreman
I can't see Loma ever winning a fight
I think Canelo should have 2-3 losses but I don't think it is that big of a deal. Guys like Henry Armstrong have shitloads of early losses and...
Obviously LOK is nonsensing here, but there is a tricky question in here. Canelo is now almost universally recognized as p4p #1. Many of the...
I think Walters became underrated after his loss to Loma. He did, however, beat the shit out of Donaire and Darchinyan and beforehand the fight...
I'd pick Lomavery clearly. He was way better than Freitas
This is what I thought too. Did Michael have enough pop to knock Leon out and if not, how would he deal with him up close. I'd pick Michael but...
Michael, in his light-heavy prime, steps up to face Leon Spinks that beat Muhammad Ali. How would it go?
Canelo has the better technique for sure, but as JoM alluded, Froch was an intelligent fighter who was very good in finding ways to win too....
