I was watching a Joe Louis 'greatest KOs' clip on youtube the other day. His highlight reel makes Tyson & Foreman's look like Chris Byrd's. Half...
Vitali would win clearly but Young would take rounds and generally give him a harder fight than anybody Vitali has ever fought sans Lewis thus...
'Byrd was as good as Young'. Tempted to pull the obnoxious internet card of saying 'I stopped reading after this'....I didn't but I'm afraid it's...
Im saying by the time he was in his 40s he couldn't fight at a fast sustained pace and was vulnerable to anybody who could bring that at him. So...
Didnae say it wiz, mate. It was an agenda driven polemic stat so I accept the deafening silence as long as the general point's made.:Thumbs:
I liked my Ezzard Charles stat, personally.:popcorn:
I would have guessed early 30s, purely because you've said you're older. You look 10 years younger.
Yeah. Lets not broach the topic of his comp during those spells though, eh? :lol::scared2:
Humour and serious boxing chat are happy bedfellows at fighbeat :hump:
:lol::bears:
Nah he lost to a big athletic guy who could out hustle him with a fast pace.....and had pretty much no other redeeming attributes as a world class...
:bears: Interesting & surely unprecedented.
Another good one.
Ignoring the recognised robbery against Elmer Ray, Ezzard '25 loses!' Charles went on a longer unbeaten run in the 8 1/2 years after moving up to...
I don't think Duran was a great fighter in the 80s. He was an occasionally excellent one, but neither his style or his body allowed a seamless...
De Jesus was over 10 non-title rounds and very close. Benitez beat him fair and square, at 154. Both excellent, legit wins. Ray won and it's...
Charles by stoppage
Good ones. I'll try to think of one to add....
The scale of how much I disagree couldn't even be compressed into a forum post. So I'll just say I really, really stand by my last few previous ones.
I care neither about rugby or Scottish national teams. :mj: And along with every non-Welsh person on earth my attitude towards the Welsh is one of...
I'll explain it in 3 concise points A) Match making. The reluctance to face the best, preferring to molly coddle his smelly little '0', and...
I've Waited so long to hear you say that! :bears: I don't want this moment to ever end....:pray::partie:
I think to say he boxed is generous to Ray at the expense of the reputation of genuine stylistic boxers. Circling round and round and round a...
Lap it up, Ramonza, this is as close as a display of personal warmth we around these parts have ever seen from the Ice Man!:Thumbs:
Shut it smelly face, my Da' would batter your Da'!:Wah:
I don't think Cotto is comfortable with swarming, unpredictable pressure. And I don't think he has the 1 punch power which has proven the only key...
I agree but that isn't the MM we're discussing, is it.
Seriously, if you ever say that again I'll put you on ignore for a year. legit.
Realistically i think Calzaghe gets a late stoppage in a very good fight. Martinez would inevitably outbox Calzaghe early and there's a good...
If you're 105lb Im only interested if you're a hot woman.
