PWill was a volume puncher, Corrales was a KO artist. I think that difference in style is much more significant than their similar physical...
agreed, i enjoyed this thread quite a bit. always fun to shit on leonard!
Floyd's competition shits all over Calslappy's, unfortunately.
uhh.. what did he change at 175? he was still just speed & power, he just switched to more of a pot-shotting style (which he had always been...
160 Leonard wasn't prime & Roy would be coming into the ring in the 170s. Roy was too big and too fast for SRL, he'd turn his lights out. I...
lol@"best p4p of all time" lol@"lean Roy" Roy would wipe his ass with SRL at 160
:lol: :lol: :lol:
The biggest fight of Leonard's career was one he didn't take until after he'd been retired for years and his prospective opponent showed slippage....
Floyd was at his peak from 130-140, nobody is claiming he is the GOAT welterweight. The thread topic is comparing Mayweather & Leonard as...
also I had Duran-Leonard I 15-0 Duran
Duran was a former lightweight. Castillo in Leonard's day would've been a junior middle. Put Leonard against a super middle Castillo's level and...
I put that on Manny, not on Floyd. I don't want to rehash all that shit again, though. If Leonard 12-0'd a guy who knocked out Hagler, we...
fixed also, Floyd had a broken hand and an injured shoulder in that fight. so both his hands were handicapped
Leonard fought Duran because he thought he was going to have an easy time with the smaller guy, then demanded a track oval be used as the ring in...
One crucial point that must be made is that Leonard was fighting great fighters, but they were his own size. Floyd's competition is obviously far...
s/Batman/all superhero movies
:lol: my thoughts exactly
A lot of people picked Tarver over Jones in the rematch, he looked awful in their first fight.
Fair point. I guess for a teenager in the US in the 90s, Hamed with all the flash & pizzazz was like nothing we'd seen before, the second coming...
He definitely took cues from Herol Graham's style, but Graham himself was kind of like a poor man's Ali.
Maybe a better way to look at the thread question imo is a style you can't teach _anyone else_. Naz's unconventional style that worked for him...
Yeah, but Toney's STYLE in and of itself is taught. The relaxation is not. But he's not doing something that can't be taught. I think in my...
Floyd & Hopkins are both the worst possible examples, they are two of the best schooled fighters of the past 50 years
these are the best possible examples, and I'll +1 Niccolino Locche as well
Always thought Stevens was hype. Codrington was better (imo), but he fizzled quick too. That Green KO was one of the worst I've ever seen.
his big juicy shoulders
this is the best possible response
RIP to a legend.
Ruslan by KO.
I will pay for this card & watch it in HD, so it doesn't look like I'm watching it on a motherf'ing FLIP PHONE
