Castillo had a cast Iron chin. Is that even debatable? Sure...Corrales stopped him on his feet...but Corrales, if nothing else, PUNCHED...
Louis is dropped twice but rebounds to stop Liston in the 9th.
Yup...Lalonde was known as one tough son of a bitch......
And your hatred for Floyd knows no bounds. No surprises here either...
Hopkins was 40 when he fought Taylor.
Very good MM actually. Leonard wasn't as Lethal at Middleweight and seemed to fight more in spurts. Taylor was a very big Middleweight and had...
Agreed. A fight at 160 is a pick'em
Have at it...
Same can be said of Hagler...if you want to go down that route... Oh and Hopkins is a ALL TIME GREAT, one of the best we've ever seen.
That's fair.
Agreed. It would have been more competitive but at 160 I'd pick Wright to win fairly clearly.
Tito has been beaten by Hopkins, Jones and Wright. Three very smart and cagey fighters. Guess what..all three would have beaten De La Hoya,...
Nah...Vargas fought the way Vargas fought. That's like saying "If Joe Frazier fought a smarter fight he would have beaten Foreman".
:giggle: I actually agree.
GOOD Matchup! Trinidad by knockout at both weights..ESPECIALLY 154lbs.
Agreed.
Except size, reach and physical strength. Chavez wins...A DECISION, but no more than 8-4 (I lean towards 7-5)
Besides.... The only similarity between Chavez and Castillo is that they are both Mexican. I wont even say "Good body punchers" because that's...
If I may..... SHOULDER INJURY!
Drago beats Creed because: "he's the most perfectly trained Athlete ever. Drago is a look at the future"
Damn, my first pick was MD. It was close to an MD as one judge had it 96-95. What points do I get considering my second pick was Bradley UD?
Thanks for the compliment (you've obviously admired my photos), but I don't swing that way my inner-city hoodlum friend.:kidcool:
Problem with your thinking is that it would have never suited his purposes in this example since the Barkley fight was at Middleweight (and Iran...
Negative. At 130, Floyd was flawless.
Hopkins would take him out eventually...but Bernard would take his time to do it and the first half of the fight would be a tactical chess match.
:atu: Here we go again with the same old tired "Floyd is scared to fight anyone" rhetoric.
I see Cintron getting to him first for some reason.
Tito's was better as well, IMO. It was very accurate and rather unpredictable. Therefore the only deciding factor would be power, and Tito's was...
Fair enough, but what isn't speculation is that Cotto was visibly shaken to his BOOTS by guys that didn't punch as hard or were as naturally big...
Someone please add a poll. I forgot to... thanks.
