This is the thing: I agree that Quality of opposition is important. However UNTIL a fighter has been EXPOSED in any category we can't denote...
You're insane. Mosley would have no shot. Whitaker is a tough chessmatch for Floyd that could go either way with the judges (I tend to think...
I see the old Oscar fight as an abberration. Floyd gave Oscar too much respect on that night. In 10 fights...that would be the closest any of...
:atu:
Exactly. Again I think that Cdogg and Bwjoe try hard to not understand the points I'm making. By the way....pity you had to quote the latter...
word. Anyone that says that Eastwood can't act doesn't know how to judge acting talent. As nobleart said...it's probably because he never...
"Battle of the 70s" Monzon may stop Duran late, IMO.
Frazier's opposition pre-Foreman (Ellis, Quarry, Bonavena, MUHAMMAD ALI) shit on Foreman's pre-Frazier. If matchups were decided by who each...
This is a man of keen boxing insight and analytical brilliance.
I'm on the fence. It's a KO either way..early or late. In 10 fights between them there would be 10 KOs..I think Wlad would win 6-4.
Roland was shit.
I was kidding about the "bleeders" comment...hence the emoticon usage you dense Irishman.
Erik Morales qualifies methinks.
I disagree with this. Leonard is better than Oscar in every category, even at 154lbs. Leonard by UD 8-4 or 7-5 at either weight. Nevertheless...
Very good post.
Exactly. What's so hard to understand about that?
although Turpin was "half caste" of course.
Head to Head it would have been a close fight. Hopkins size, smarts and elusiveness vs Robinson's speed and workrate. But Hopkins was a more...
Kessler was better than Roldan. This is moot though. Calzaghe has more tools than Hagler. You may not like Calzaghe's showboatinig slapping...
I meant robinson.
Hopkins is a better middleweight than Robinson. Put that in your pipe and smoke it! :Lok:
:lol: fair point. Let's not act, though, like Lacy is teh only guy that Calzaghe has managed to hit accurately. Kessler was a decent fighter...
Hagler was a great boxer, but relatively slower and more hittable. This is the point that you're missing. Also Calzaghe "slaps" with good...
btw...this "ignore function" is the best thing ever. I can see that broadwayjoe is responding to this topic and others but I can't see a fucking...
A good case can be made for Starling, yes. Great Welterweight. Better than Floyd, no. Better than anyone Floyd fought at 147lbs, yes. I'll give...
Disagree. I once was lost but now I'm found, was blind but now I see.
The title should be: "Pound for Pound" or "Immortality beckons"
Lack of range makes a bad actor? What just because Eastwood probably couldn't play a flamboyant queer? Dude...acing is all about making the...
word. People act that Robinson was the GOAT in every single conceivable category. He wasn't and you are correct...he was rather hittable for a...
I defer you to my response to Dog Jones. Secondly...why not respond to some of the points in my other two posts?
Separate names with a comma.
