Baldomir is slow and can't punch. I agree Berto sucks, but he isn't as much of a nutcase as Judah & it's a terrible style matchup for Baldomir.
Ironically the statement "Take away steroid testing, and you have Pac with a pen and a contract" isn't even sarcastic or exaggerated.
most of the time he's neither
I'm not downplaying it at all, it's one of the greatest single rounds of boxing ever, if not the greatest. I didn't realize it'd become hip to do...
Everyone expected a brawl with Castillo and Corrales.. but not like THAT. And it wasn't just two clubfighters slugging away either. Hagler &...
.. but Duran has lost weight recently
You seem to have moved the goalposts and conflated the two topics as it suited you. The question was five fights that are better than...
take away all of Lennox Lewis' skill and melanin and you'd have a Vitali Klitschko
I disagree on this, in his prime he could really bomb. Couldn't do much else, but he could punch for sure..
Berto UD
Campbell-Peden
LOL
What are your top five?
"wahh Cortez didn't let Hatton cheat by holding excessively like a 140 lb version of John Ruiz"
Zab could actually fight a bit in his prime (as opposed to Berto). I think he'd stop Berto mid rounds.
Floyd pulls it off, but not without difficulty. Agree this would be his best win.
Corrales - Castillo was epic from start to finish. Maybe not the greatest fight of all time, but arguably so at least, and by far the greatest...
Floyd beating Hatton on the inside Hearns outboxing Leonard
Lol Toney Holyfield is a great example
He was getting hyped back when he beat Six Heads (after Mayorga iirc). I always thought he was pretty bad, I couldn't believe it when he beat Cotto.
The underlying premise of a p4p matchup surely can't have escaped you to this extent.
The problem is that we have a generation of fighters trying to be like RJJ, but with a fraction of the talent. Plus RJJ wasn't just freakishly...
Fishnets by KO
What if tomorrow he decides to boil down to 135, and he's a big lightweight? Would he then suddenly become a big heavyweight in a mythical p4p...
I disagree with you, I don't think size relative to a division has anything to do with it. Pac & Floyd could cut to 135-140 and be big or average...
You're making Hanzy look reasonable and sane right now.
I find Neil pretty amusing personally, even though he doesn't seem to like me
Wlad at HW < Corrie Sanders
How good a fighter is, period. How versatile they are and how complete they are in their overall game, how well they deal with varying and...
Vitali at 147 ~= Carlos Baldomir Wlad at 147 ~= Andre Berto
Separate names with a comma.
