Saying Ortiz, Guerrero and Maidana were considered legit at the time and then saying Williams and Margarito would've been underdogs that nobody...
Oscar was old and worth a shitload of money. Williams and Margarito were young, big, rough tough guys and Floyd saw no reason to risk it against...
I like Degale and I hope he wins in style. But any hope of him or Jack being a truly intriguing opponent for GGG outside of the UK went out the...
Foremans age is an actual number. He was the oldest man to win the title. He didn't KO a nazi, he didn't beat an "unbeatable" opponent with two...
He avoided Margarito and Williams and it's pretty obvious why. Why risk a tough bruising fight against a much bigger fighter when everyone will...
I picked Rahman to KO Lewis in the first fight because I reasoned Rahman would be able to jab with Lewis long enough to hang around and catch him....
Foreman-Moorer. All the other fights are just fights with "climate" and "context" that don't really mean anything.
I'd take Carr over Thurman at this point.
If he did he would at least be fighting accomplished athletes.
I'm clueless about Johnson because he's a nobody who never accomplished anything. Porpaoin, Siriwat, Bonilla and even the other Porpaoin, Guardia,...
Pretty much... He was sloppy and there to be hit. Being tough and resilient is great but that's an example where he'd be so consistently...
Clearly he had amazing recuperative abilities. You just saw him get knocked silly by two nobodies and hop right back up.
We love you
You're over rating Aaron Pryor and talking about snobs and obscure fighters... Think about it. Heck, put your kangol on and go talk about it at...
You're putting a lot of caveats on a nobody for Pryors benefit. And the difference between the guys you named and Pryor is that their whole rep...
lol. When one punch completely freezes you in place to get dropped by the follow up punch you're hurt. The first punch stopped your body from...
Prime Finito Lopez was better than Jr. Welter Arguello. The guys Alvarez beat that you never heard of are demonstrably better and more...
Oscar De La Hoya!??????? Lmao
Check out Pryor when he takes a defensive approach against a "big puncher". Masterful! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AtcCtN64Us4
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RxXeXrYQlsw Bwahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!
Thurman should win but I wouldn't pick him with any confidence. His boxing is a little labored and inconsistent and he can obviously be hurt to...
I used to look at Pryor in pretty much the same light as you guys until I "rediscovered" him. He wasn't that fast and he was sloppy in everything...
More "unique", sure. Not a better fighter, prime for prime.
There's no tape of "Honey" Roy Palmer in his prime. He's an overhyped gym legend IMO.
Any solid accurate puncher is live against Pryor. Its not a shortlist. I wouldn't be surprised to see someone like Judah blast him out early by...
Exactly. His whole rep is based on then idea that he was an awful boxer but that's OK because he was invulnerable to harm. Nevermind the fact that...
He'd make a good entertaining fight with anyone though, and he'd be a top contender in any era.
He wasn't a special fighter. Maybe in the same way Gatti was special. Any sharp puncher with decent power would be live against him. The Arguello...
Mentioning him being ridiculously over rated has no place whatsoever in this thread. None. RIP
Ken Buchanon had really fast hands. The first time I saw him fight I was shocked people didn't talk about his hand speed more.
