Felix Sturm and the jab, though he too could be ranked as a B-level guy
I don't think this is particularly rare at the very top, tbh, this is more how boxing works. Plus, I am pretty confident that Callum has known...
I agree with this. Mayorga's approach is correct, but his execution isn't good enough. Those wild swings wouldn't have much chance of landing. If...
[MEDIA] This was an interesting video btw. Shows you how much thinking is going on in there, even with a fighter as basic as Joshua
I'd say Cory Spinks as a legitimate welterweight champion must be close. If Eubank and Vasquez count, then so does Leon
This is a good idea,but in Tszyu's case it would leak out as soon as the kid shows his face anywhere
I don't think he necessarily has new skills, but a new approach might be enough to make him a bit better too. Also, Wlad was a KO waiting to...
I thought Joshua did pretty well,if we accept the premise that he has a new identity as a fighter, which I think he does. He isn't the aggressive...
At those odds Wach is playable, but I don't think he wins. Hughie is crap but takes a pretty good punch and Wach isn't a puncher. Even if he...
Joshua is getting down on weight. It suggests we will see more of the hopping we saw in Ruiz II
This should have taken place. According to most, Patterson deserved to win both Quarry and Ellis in the WBA tournament. Had he gotten the decision...
Hatton couldn't put up any kind of effort being that weight-drained
If he did in fact fight sick as claimed, then I can somewhat understand the feel of relief
He has gone unbeaten for six years and beaten Chisora and Hughie Fury during that time, and he has only lost to Wlad. So even though he isn't the...
Spinks KO3
Excellent, thanks for this! I have only watched a couple of minutes from the start, but anybody who complains that modern fighters can't fight up...
Smith is inconsistent, also due to styles. At his best he has looked very good, he is quite fast, rangy and has power in his fists. The way he...
I agree with all of this. One thing I repeat often though is that in boxing you don't have to be all around better than your opponent. It is...
I do think Robinson has benefited from his welterweight videos not existing, and the middleweight fight being rare for so long. Now that I look...
I'm not sure if that counts as a hypothetical match:Jest:
Mike Dixon Michael Bennt Bill Russell Tom Sharkey Jake Donovan Dave Steve David Price Steve Dave John Jackson Bob Probert Robert Helenius Ray...
You can argue they were better, but you can be better in several ways. This thread namely asks for "better mainly because of styles"
I thought Toney was #2 behind Whitaker, and Ward also was at the top-3 for long. But yeah, I get your idea. Even though it sucks
With this one I don't know which one would be the upset, but to me Ward is both the better and would win this fight. I could see Bruce Seldon...
Yeah, I can see Khan's style being extremely difficult for Locche. Khan would be easy meat for world class pressure fighters but that isn't Locche
I don't see an outclassing, that's a stretch, but I'd pick Taylor as well
Styles do favor Gavilan
Agreed
I have no idea if break dancing is big enough of an event to be included in the Olympics. At the highest level it is definitely physically...
I don't know if anyone follows amateurs or Olympics anymore. If you do, now it is time to stop. In 2024 Olympics there will be 60 male fighters...
