Neither Liston fight was exciting. He boxed well against a terrific fighter, but that doesn't make it exciting or action packed. Frazier I and...
Oh yeah, Ali was mostly dull. When I watch old films of Ali and Duran, I like to see the brilliant things they do in there, but in order to do...
I've seen both fights a few times. The action was more consistent in DLH-Mosley I. Much of Hearns-Leonard I was a chess match. Rounds 9-12 were...
De La Hoya-Mosley I had more consistent action than Leonard-Hearns I.
You mean Duran? Yeah I especially enjoyed the first 12 rounds of the Lampkin fight. His fights were so aesthically pleasing, nothing better to...
I'd also put Ward's fights with Diaz and Green up there. Those were excellent fights.
Trinidad-Vargas and Corrales-Castillo I are probably my favorite and most watched fights of all-time.
"It's too much when there's no action, when nothing is going on other than holding - then it's a foul. If the fighter's tactic is holding, it's a...
Here's Detloff with another article on clinching. http://www.hbo.com/boxing/events/2007/0623_hatton_castillo/columns/dettloff_feature.html...
I really don't think anyone argues otherwise. Gatti-Ward I and their trilogy got all the attention, but I thought Gatti's first fight with...
Oscar's generally got the Midas touch with PPV events, but I credit HBO quite a bit with their promotional push to make it from another big DLH...
Floyd helped it but HBO did a brilliant job promoting it with the 24/7, especially with the schedule it received. Floyd thinks he's a big reason...
Those three fights are all in my top 5 of this decade so far. Mosley-De La Hoya 1 doesn't make the top 10. But it was still a good enjoyable...
I think he almost passed an Olympic steroid test as well.
5% over, roughly 7 lbs.
I love the look on Drayton's face as he's about to fall. Trinidad hardly ever knocks out anyone with one left hook. Jackson-Trinidad is a...
I liked the Barkley fight a lot too. Guys did hold Duran a lot, so I found a good number of his fights ugly to watch. Up until the KO, his...
What did you think of Duran-Leonard I? I thought it was a good fight, but the clinching prevented it from being a truly great one.

Cotto didn't break any rules, it's not like his doctor had his foot under the scale.
I enjoyed the Vargas fight more.
His nice guy persona that comes out at times (Jay Leno show) might be the act, not the heel persona that is supposed to be him playing the role....
I voted for Ruddock-Dokes because it is my favorite KO ever. Another "out-cold" fighter was James Shuler versus Thomas Hearns. Shuler was on...
The Corley fight was pretty ridiculous though. On fight night it was a middleweight versus a jr. welterweight.
I feel the same way. Sometimes people will try to diminish a fighter's accomplishments at a certain weight because of their size (DLH, Corrales,...
They said it was because the state of New York didn't do those or whatever. Was that in any relation to what happened in New York during the...
Cotto was often a lot bigger than his opponents at 140, but it doesn't seem so much now at 147.
I would say that the great majority of fights that people call "robberies" are exaggerated. Hell, even Whitaker-Chavez was exaggerated. I...
Floyd talking trash and nonsense as usual. No surprise. Unless he sees a better opportunity to make a big payday (maybe Hatton if he wins this...
from fightnews.com Golden Boy Promotions has officially announced the PPV undercard of Hopkins vs. Wright "Coming to Fight" on July 21 in Las...
