Did you see the front page of that disgusting rag the morning after he died? [img] :doh: :doh: Fucking disgraceful.
Ah fair enough, it's the only one I could think of with two Latino fighters that fit his criteria of a close points decision in the first fight...
I think he beats Frazier first time but by no means is it "easy". At the end of the day he is still vulnerable to the left hook which is Frazier's...
I can't remember if the first fight was fight of the year material but for some reason I'm thinking of Oscar Larios-Willie Jorrin.
Footwork and ring generalship are learned traits, not physical talents, which is what this thread is about. I admit some of these fall into a grey...
How different are the fights? Say the Ali that beat Williams.
I don't think we'll ever see somebody reach that kind of status again. Truly a one-off.
He would have had every right to be hateful though. At least Ali acknowledged later that he'd gone way over the line.
That's nothing, check this out: [IMG]
Some of the stuff Ali said to Frazier was indeed deplorable. The good certainly outweighs the bad though.
Vargas was a good fighter, but honestly, I'd go with Norris here.
It has been a REALLY fucked up year in that sense.
RIP The Greatest. Sad news. Ugo already touched on it but he is one of those rare individuals who genuinely will never be forgotten. One of a...
Wlad is a really good call actually.
It's the way it's always been. It is dangerous to have some novice go up against an elite level professional world champion.
Disgraceful, pointless and potentially dangerous decision.
It could happen as Haye seems determined to avoid any real fights.
I can't stand Bellend but that was a good fight and a great knockout.
Zab won the first round clear

It was on the BBC I believe, with Bruno and Lewis as studio pundits.
:laughing: Fucking hell.
Toney was obviously brilliant, I'm not so sure he beats GGG though. I can see why he'd be favoured but GGG's boxing ability is seriously...
Trinidad had the "names" on his record though, which is why I've always said people should use their fuckin eyes rather than Boxrec.
3-1 on this side of the pond
Mayweather-Corrales
Hide-Bentt and Hide-Williams prior to the Hide-Klitschko fight were both pretty funny. Hide was an unrelenting moron.
Robinson, not Johnson (although Johnson did get fucked up too). I agree with Sly though, Robinson was a hard working guy who got his big break and...
Aye, Hut's mentioned that one before, I still don't get it :lol:. It was an awful fight.
Actually, add the Judah and Chavez fights for entertainment value
