:lol::lol:
Did Norton even win the title in the ring? :dunno: Now Norton hits heavier than Vitali. Hold onto your hat's fellas....we got us a winner here....
Vitali.
About right. Deserved to be regarded as part of an exciting trio of decent Welterweights and deserves also to be regarded as a slightly flawed...
Overrated. Good welterweight without a stellar win over a stellar opponent in any division. Ricky Hatton.
I once claimed Ken Norton was a tough guy that stood up well against punchers. I was banned for two months and ordered to pay a fine to the...
Yes....and no. Vitali's shared characteristics with Foreman should not be limited to the physical, but should also include their mental outlooks....
Hopkins.
I wonder what Bob Foster would make of Chad Dawson, decisioning Frock's left overs. Tut-Tut.
Yeah, just a little bit, not entirely though. Once again, the trinketry of the modern era, the paucity of action-packed fights, the sheer dearth...
Wow. Where to start with this monstrosity of misunderstanding, literary leap-amateurism and big-book-of-boxing pillow-fistedness. Lyle and...
Underrated, not as good as the Beatles, but underrated. Max Schmelling.
The Who?
This post exemplifies part of the problem I have in reaching/getting through to you. We pick a certain, specific aspect of two fighters, from...
Yeah that's why we said UNDER.
:laughing::laughing: Roy had a smaller frame than Conn but he was certainly "bigger" in many regards, viz weight, muscle mass.
:atu: Have you recovered from that clowning I gave you?:Wah::Wah::atu:
Overrated. Got the benefit of the doubt too often and was bashed once he moved beyond his comfort zone. Ring FOTY my balls. Joe Calzaghe.
The standard of the day was that heavyweights alternated between 5'9" and 6'2" or so, with weights ranging from 170-200+, as a general guide. As...
I'll bet he is in the Hall of Fame.:stir:
Canada, America, same thing.:giggle:
Did I say they would have? Where did I say they would have? My discussion pertained to the dichotomy between historic greatness, fame, so to...
You are missing the point. Then again, you would. Vitali could fight garbage ad nauseum. When it comes to Shavers, Norton, Quarry, they might as...
"striking" would have been a better word. Larry Merchant thinking Klitschko is "striking" is hardly an example of HBO Bias.
:boohoo::boohoo: Norton....another waste of space.
Pascal is a poor fighter and in my opinion would never have held a title at 175 in any other era. I saw him fight Paul Smith in the Commonwealth...
This post does not enhance Floyd's legacy. :clapagain:
Yes I never bought that BS about Quarry. He could have won a title back in the old days {1900-1930's} but I feel he would be out of his depth in a...
Max Kellerman, post-fight interview with Alexander after he beat Urango, seemed absolutely desperate to shit on Ricky Hatton, despite Ricky being...
Separate names with a comma.
