Taylor has moments early but Toney busts him up and stops him. Too skilled and sharp at for Taylor at either weight.
I know the Loma love is strong but Camacho was really, really good at 130. I need to see more Loma before I'd be confident picking him over Camacho.
I thought the Tua knockdown against Rahman was the one that wasn't counted in the second fight right at the bell.
Pretty much. Hagler was hell in rematches. Duran gets punished and probably doesn't see the final bell this time around.
Mosley wins but it's a tough fight. Mosley's speed and reach would give Brown fits but he has some moments. If Shane fought smart he could beat...
Definitely. I don't remember too many folks thinking Shane would beat Tito and a lot of folks thought a Quartey fight would be a nap and tuck affair.
Worse. Thurman would have no answers for Forrest at all. His size and style would give Thurman hell and I don't see Thurman surviving the...
Tony "The Tiger" Lopez vs. John John Molina. It was great but largely forgotten trilogy. Great back and forth action in all three fights.
A little bit. If you can't blast him out Etienne could win some rounds with his activity. This would be a fun little fight with no stakes at...
It's a winnable fight for Floyd but not an easy one. Breland may have been as brittle as glass but he had a huge heart and would not be...
Fully Obel, Willie Monroe and Bobby Watts were all 6 feet or taller. Hagler shreds the Ghost. Like X said Hagler's jab would do a number on...
True but the welterweight version of Taylor was less mobile and would be open to Brown's counters. Brown would be a step behind early but his...
Dick Tiger seems like a good one. His KO percentage was only 33% but he had heavy hands and was pretty feared.
Bad match up for Cotto. Brown was just too big and at his best does a ton of things that would give Cotto hell. To beat Brown you need a good...
Yeah. Lopez was just too hittable to beat Corrales. Corrales by mid-rounds KO.
Only one problem with that: Breland liked to fight. He could fight smart and win this but he could be drawn into a brawl. Tall Paul wasn't a...
I could see that especially with the pre-Starling version. Breland's stamina seemed to fail him in tough fights so I have a hard time seeing him...
This is actually a tough one. Tall Paul's activity and volume punching would seem to give him the edge but if you don't hurt Breland he's a...
Aside from the Honeyghan fight when did Curry "fall apart" at welter? DLH might have been a bit quicker and more fluid than Curry but he wasn't...
I kind of see it the other way. Curry's faster jab and more versatile offense makes Ike uncomfortable in the fight. It would be a tough fight but...
Rigo wins by midrounds kayo after a decent scrap. Junior was too fragile to last the distance but he'd do some damage before Rigo gets him out of...
Curry looked off in that fight from the beginning. He looked flat and overtrained. Honeyghan might have a given the best Curry a good fight but he...
How about the first Casamayor-Corrales fight? Casa handled business early but Corrales was coming on when the cuts forced the stoppage.
Thought about this while reading the Quartey-Forrest thread. How does this one go?
Nigel Benn vs. Jermain Taylor. Let the fun begin.
Garcia beat a dead legged Paulie who just got waxed by Shawn Porter. Nothing in that fight makes me think he'd be anything besides target practice...
Hagler's not Jones or Ali but he was versatile and did everything really well. Winky would put up a good effort early but Hagler would figure him...
A Jirov type fight was on my mind as well. I could see Olson's pace and strength winning him rounds but Toney's hard counters would take a toll on...
Agreed. Witherspoon has the power to damage Norton but he's not the kind of fighter who was able to blitz Ken and stop him. Against conventional...
I saw this posted as question to a Ring magazine columnist. He thought Olson would outwork and steamroll Toney. I'm not so sure. Olson was tough...
