yeah, but he most likely fails to see round 12.
Fuck no At 130, he has only a marginal chance because of a big edge in experience, but Oscar, even in this infant stage of his career, was a huge...
yup... vicious in-fighting in that one
Coetzee was no bum
by fighting someone halfway notable for the first time in his life?
well, where are they, then? for fuck's sake, MAS HARADA
ILLU is right I wouldn't put Khan in with any puncher... even an overrated scrub wild man like Valero

too bad I wouldn't mind another Fighting Harada coming down the pike
yup. It's a great, great fight.
Mercante Jr. might the worst big-time ref I've ever seen Remember Whitaker/Hurtado?
Immensely talented fighter who, like many of the "Lost" generation, never seemed to be able to put together any kind of consistency. Brilliant...
Bunce's technical knowledge doesn't impress me in the least. That's really all I would be interested in from a writer. If they don't have much...
Ali, too, arguably became beloved only after he had lost to Frazier and Norton... the swell of positive sentiment toward him really came after he...
:cheer:
Benn was also very exciting because of his wild style and his combination of dangerous/vulnerable ... that helps Arturo Gatti was shit compared...
NOBODY The most reliable voices of boxing in the world are found among hardcore fans, in my experience. There are guys here (out of what, 15...
Not when color comes into play, Feebs. I dig Ray Mancini, he was overrated then and he's underrated now. However, there can be no question...
You put stock in Max Kellerman? I don't. These people, all of them in every country, get their facts wrong all the time. You are expecting...
Feebs. In 1987, he would have been the biggest story in American sports even if he won the title and then immediately lost it. He wouldhave been...
But the fact that not even Jones' presence could generate interest in the division would seem to bear out the fact that it's not as simple as "if...
For those of you still stuck on this whole "It's because the Americans aren't doing well", I just want to once again mention that a WHITE KID FROM...
I can only once again express my shock that people expect thorough, informed observations from a moron like Jim Lampley
Very convenient of you to leave Evander Holyfield, the most accomplished Cruiser of all time and one of the most famous boxers of all time, out of...
None of that surprises me. It doesn't fit Hauser's statement of the Cruiserweight division, however.
i hope so. We are in desperate need of skillful pros. If the downfall of Leap Amateurism comes from Mars, I'd be happy.
Not even remotely. Just pointing out that, especially at that time, WBA and WBC had some cache. They were seen as legitimate world...
And that is the problem.
1) Because the statement has nothing to do with whether or not those fights were terrific. Were the two participants fighting in a shallow...
It's got nothing to do with that. The same fight between two Americans would have been ignored here, as well. It's Cruiserweight, a division...
