let's see - SRL against an over-rated and over-hyped slow as hell brawler with a below average chin? Uh, I'll go with SRL.
The only way this debate makes any sense at all is if you have a broad enough mind to imagine a proportionally bigger Castillo - a welterweight...
I guess I object to bellyaching when it implies it's an injustice to have made a movie about Mickey Ward.
Ramirez was not better than Castillo. Who did he ever beat besides Rosario? Nobody.
I'm guessing Ward/Sanchez qualifies, if it hasn't been mentioned already.
You must be Slystaff.
That's what I figured. I guess I'd have to toss in PBF/Gatti then too for the same reason. PBF/Hatton wouldn't count except that it occurred at...
No to both of your questions. But SRL wins the fight. And by knock-out.
dude, are you sucking PBF's dick or what? i mean seriously. it's one thing to be a fan of the athlete and look the other way when it comes to his...
Well. No. Because this thread was about Ward's top 5 fights. Let me put it in terms you might understand. Take the recent movie made about...
I think I'm with you on why, but can you confirm by expanding a bit on why you include this fight in this thread?
It's a paradox. Many will tell you Whitaker was outright robbed in his first fight with Ramirez. But the reality is, he made it damn close, and as...
Mancini didn't win that fight with toughness. He won it with simple boxing.
I'm not sure. But I bet Neil knows.
I already conceded that fragile was too strong a word. What the fuck do you want me to do? Kris. Now can you get over it? Now that I've said TWICE...
Fragile is too strong of word. I agree. Durable? No. Hearns did not have a good chin. This was especially true at 147. As with all great...
Dude, I gotta say: I'm as disturbed as I am amused by your signature. Truly sick stuff - the kind you'd hear in a basement comedy club.
Randall Bailey vs. Julio. As great a fight as it was, I think it ruined Bailey who had much more upside (for a variety of reasons) than Julio...
Eidy Moya vs. Elicier Julio and Tapia
Ricardo Vargas vs. Adan Vargas
I took someone else's idea and reversed it, and am willing to take credit for having done so.
Hey I'm not the one who introduced the premise of a full-fledged welterweight Castillo. I was responding to someone else's having done that. So...
Chavez was better than Castillo. Titles in three weight classes, dominant wins in many of his important fights, and losses only at the tail end of...
PBF easily - probably by stoppage.
First of all, a hyphenated word is one word, not two. As of recently bullshit may no longer need a hyphen. Many once-hyphenated words are later...
Bull-shit.
a. We're not dealing with reality in any case - these are mythical match-ups afterall. b. A 147 pound projection of Castillo was supposed in...
yeah? name the best one he beat?
I honestly have no idea what your argument is. Twice you've said I'm wrong and twice you've provided no coherent explanation as to why. The...
It was just a point of reference. A welterweight projection of Castillo would've beaten all of the guys that Hearns beat at 147.
