Shane will be by far the hardest puncher Manny has ever faced. We'll see what happens if Shane lands the kind of shot he landed on Floyd.
Wlad knows how to train. I don't think that's a concern with him, the dude has a doctorate in sports science, after all. From the former Soviet...
As loathe as I am to defend little England - it produces & has always produced some of the best music, comedy, actors and television in the world....
I'd really have preferred if Dawson had gotten a chance to get his career back on track. Hopkins should have just retired on a high. :crying:
Tyson competitive but clear.
Your opponent being sharp isn't an advantage.
I'm confused. Haye said he'd agreed to July 2nd then said he can't do it because what? He has to fight Chagaev or because the risk of Chisora...
Hearns 10-5.
Toney, Robinson, Whitaker & Hagler would take top berths that I can think of.
Indeed, great catch. Right up near the top of the list.
Yes he does. How many times have you seen Manny down or badly hurt from 122 up? Ali was near to the brink of KO a few times. Robinson ranks above...
Leaving aside malnutrition caused low weight insanity, Manny Pacquiao deserves a mention.
Ray Robinson was never stopped, in ring, in 200 fights. I think he's earned the right to top this list.
Great post. This is thinking things through.
Wlad should just call his bluff and cancel the Chisora fight. Maybe he could fight a couple of exhibitions in China or something if he wants to...
It's a sorry state of affairs when a guy can't fight 9 weeks after executing Derek Chisora. Is this really what modern boxing's come to when not...
Of course it does. If it doesn't we may as well chop the heads off chickens and have them run on a roulette wheel until they fall down as basis...
I'd say Norton & Fraizer fought similarly. Both lead volume punchers (swarmers). There are useful stylistic comparisons to be made there in terms...
Fair point. Though Shane strikes me as a guy who genuinely loves being a fighter.
Castillo is not million miles away from fighters like Cuevas or Palomino. He's a good champion. Hearns beats him decisively, but the terms you're...
He still made multi millions. How much money do you need? If I have inside info that there's an $8m winning lottery ticket at one store and a $9m...
'Stupid' or just not obsessively money oriented? The guy's made millions upon millions, holding up fights over 'conceding too much' is basically...
Please stop posting in MM. Your ignorance makes me blink too fast.
No doubt. Just not because he's a 'lightweight'. Because in 1980 he isn't, he's a welterweight like Cuevas or Palomino or Duran.
Exactly. By correct 1980 standards he already was a welterweight.
Being in the ring with Chisora won't even constitute a fight. The risk is non existent. In a sane world Haye would just take a tune up against...
In reality they fought under different weigh in rules & Castillo came into the ring weighing more than a welterweight Thomas Hearns did.
Seriously, we're now at the stage in boxing where neither of the two biggest fights in the sport by far can be made in the space of two years....
No they can't. You might as well call them poor man's Ali's.
I hate boxing.
