I'd pick Smith clearly. A victory over Groves was better than what Woods did. Pretty close fight however
I think that's a bit harsh. Precious few fighters in the history could have beaten a bigger guy of Salido's level in their second fight. Loma's...
I don't believe there can be many, since to pick a SD you need both an evenly matched pair of fighters and two different styles, which would...
Still need to see more from Canelo, but at this point I'd make Froch the slight favorite, his long jab being the key element. Canelo has evolved...
Hearns didn't do that much at middleweight either. Blasted out the promising but untested Shuler, won DeWitt about 9-3 and beat an old Roldan....
Very disappointing by Callum. I don't know if something was wrong with him or did he mentally freeze up, but I expected much more from him....
I have no problem with people confidently picking Mosley in this one, but it bothers me a bit that this MM has turned more and more lopsided as...
I agree with this. Abraham was dangerous with his rushes, but Canelo had more variety and could get around AA's guard better than vice versa
Norton was hittable enough for Wilder to be the favorite, but naturally Norton would lead all the way before the finish and out of a 10-fight...
I'll start with one I rewatched recently Winky Wright vs Tito Trinidad 1. 10-9 2. 10-9 3. 10-9 4. 10-9 5. 10-9 6. 10-9 7. 10-9 8. 10-9 9. 10-8...
Outclassing might be a bit strong of a word, but a clear 9-3 for Toney
Btw I looked for some all-time lightweight rankings. The best rating I found for Brown was at boxinscene, where he was 16th. I know lightweight...
As a middleweight he wasn't all that I agree. But he was a light middle who defeated a strong middleweight champ and deserved his high p4p ranking
I found the rating of Martinez and Barkley as the more important and tricky question, that's why I didn't mention it
The reason I ask this is that a Finnish scrub fights Martinez tomorrow and I started to think if he was the best guy a Finn has ever fought...
Neither is a top-100 fighter in the history, but they might be in the top-300. So, which one of these ranks higher all time? Martinez with a...
Donaire was and is excellent if you attack him but if you could make him lead,he became predictable. Hamed was better when he could counter too,...
In this fight punching power loses its meaning and the winner is the one who lands more often. That's clearly Ray, his jab being the major factor
I'm expecting a good fight too. Btw if Canelo wins this impressively, will you give him props?
This is where it gets complicated for me. I'm not sure if Tito lacked boxing IQ, or boxing skills (mainly with footwork), and how can you tell the...
Actually the forum is a bit older, it has been around from 2002. Earlier it was called fightworld.us but I am not sure if that was the original...
I think there should also be a warning of "you're on thin ice, brother" when someone is allowed in
Carlos Maussa too. How did that guy ever win a belt of any kind
Daniel Zaragoza. Was a fine fighter but didn't look very good. Not in the close-up headshots anyway
Ahem... yeah, exactly this!
Michael Spinks - He looked like a good/very good fighter, but was undeniably great. Ricardo Mayorga - Not a great fighter but with that style he...
Against scrub level Smith's power has been impressive, he took out Rocky Fielding inside a round while it took three from Canelo. If Smith lands...
Depends on what you measure of course, but being the near-undisputed heavyweight champ for eight years and unbeaten for eleven is pretty good an...
That, and also that boxing has picked up after the Corona coma
I clicked Donnybrook's profile some time ago. Even though he hasn't posted in eight years, he had logged in here in 2015, around Floyd vs Pac. He...
