Punch power by itself isn't mandatory to keep a guy off you. Sharp counterpunching and excellent defense work just as well.
Dude..give me more credit. I'm not talking about losses at the end of a person's career when they are obviously shot. I'm talking about losses, in...
Fair enough. Good point. But the Corrales comparison is only to the extent that Diego was undefeated and the best possible challenge for him at...
So...they fought more times in those days. You have to compare time with time. Floyd's 41 fights is a respectable number in 2011. Leonard, from...
Bottomline is this: Duran is overrated. Duran nuthuggers are ridiculous. Dude was beaten by Kirkland Laing, destroyed by Hearns,...
Let's say the version of Lamotta that beat SRR. Let's say that Floyd came into the ring weighing 150lbs. What transpires? I'll tell you what...
A dude can only fight the people that are available tim him. We can't judge him for that.
Nah, Hatton was Floyd's Duran, De La Hoya was Floyd's Hagler, Corrales was his Hearns...get it right m'man! Those names are comparable with...
Hagler did to Mugabi only what Michael Watson did to Nigel Benn, except Benn was naturally bigger and more powerful than Mugabi was...and Watson...
:lol: You saw a different fight than the one I saw. Must be another Floyd Shane fought. I don't recall Floyd holing on for dear life..even for...
Also Hearns doesn't land the same shot...Tommy wasn't known for throwing an overhand right at close quarters like the one Shane caught Floyd with....
Floyd was NO WHERE NEAR close to being KO'd by Mosley. He was just more shaken up than we had ever seen him before. Big difference.
I can see someone rating Leonard above Floyd...but not with your criteria which is just based upon HOF fighters beaten. Floyd has achieved six...
:giggle: I actually remember that. Most upsetting comment.
No Fuck Duran. He was humiliated and knocked out in 2 rounds by anothe rfighter (doesn't matter that it was hearns) when he was still close to...
Gimme TEN fighters in history that you rate above Floyd in terms of proven ability. One thing I know about you Muzse, more than anyone else...
A 2011 guy like Floyd has primitive skills in comparison: <IFRAME src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/5dPy_C5tXgc" frameBorder=0 width=420...
All kidding aside, I must admit that Duran had the type of sublime skill that you just don't see in 2011. The Duran of the Fab 4 rivalry time...
Duran is a Top 10 guy, IMO. To say Top 5 is overrating him. Who do i rate above him you ask? Ali Robinson Jones Armstrong Pacquiao...
Leonard did have some rare skillz!
Tyson by decision or by Mid rounds KO. Decision more likely.
Duran is overrated.

Still...I tend to agree with the Hutster on this issue. IF Patterson was as good a Lightheavyweight as people suggest he would have...
wooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrd!
On an aside.... There's no blockbuster in Canada anymore!! I don't know what to do...I don't know what to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :pissed:
All I know is that Norris FUCKED up Mugabi when "The Beast" was on an impressive KO streak. Hagler struggled mightily with the African. :finger:
Nah it wasn't Roy losing, per se, it was the way he BITCHED OUT of the 3rd tarver fight (Took pride in merely lasting the distance) and...
The worst is when American actors (Taye Diggs for example) try to d oa Jamaican accent. Sounds utterly ridiculous.
Separate names with a comma.
