I am wondering is it is a coincidence though. Could it be for example that now that defensive guys have more simple boxing style (less skill) than...
People have been bitching about Floyd's, Vlad's etc style of boxing. Even though as boxing fans we understand that success is more important than...
Add also Oleksander Usyuk and Rakhim Chakiev, both cruisers and Olympic Gold medallists Usyuk is still a newcomer but he had the best amateur...
Make it prime Mayweather and he is fighting Alexis Arguello in an epic super-featherweight matchup instead of Hearns
That era good, this era bad. Mismatch
Fuck this is annoying. Yes of course Leonard beats any version of Pacquiao, he was the much bigger guy. What made PacMan remarkable was that he...
Yes but it wasn't the last great superfight since Lamon Brewster vs Sergei Liakovich happened after that
You actually think that a guy who fights for living, has trained for years for this situation, concentrates as hard as he ever can and gets...
And his prime was at super feather, which has a lot to do with him losing. Atlas doesn't realize this but I believe you do
I don't follow your logic. That is like saying May-Pac wasn't a superfight since both were past their best too. Holy vs Lewis was for the...
After all those years in boxing Atlas still doesn't realize that more entertaining does not equal better. Nor does he understand that comparing...
John L. Sullivan vs Jim Corbett
Too bad this didn't happen five years ago. Pac had slipped more, back then his speed and power would have caused more trouble
Floyd won about 116-112. His size was the deciding factor, he was able to clinch when needed and push Pac away. Good fight for four rounds, then...
This is the first time I hate my job as a part-time boxing broadcaster. I was offered to do Pbf-Pac for a PPV channel here (this is the first...
Yes, if PBF hadn't ducked everybody at welterweight :kidcool:
no, they are awesome
Good point. That should tell us a whole lot more about how GGG vs Hagler would play out
Considering the performance and the level of the opponent, I'd rank them like this Pac 1. Barrera I 2. Hatton 3. Morales II 4. Cotto 5. Diaz (was...
True, and for that reason we know he isn't good enough for Duran. Since GGG hasn't, we don't know much of anything about him either way, which...
Yes, because we have seen such weakness in Garcia that even though he hasn't lost, Duran would take it a step further than the guys who have...
or there isn't a monkey on his back. It is difficult to box with a monkey sitting on your back I'd think
There is nothing so far that suggests GGG beats Hagler, since he hasn't fought anyone as good. However, there is nothing that really suggests...
Sure, but I don't think it tells that much about how vulnerable Floyd is to be knocked out since it was a glove-touch KD
I am not sure if Reid was better than Lara
I don't agree with D&M completely, but I do think Floyd is being undersold here. Mainly two points: 1) People make conclusion that since Hatton...
Floyd by decision has always been my pick and I stick with it, even though his TKO win is possible too. Floyd is much the bigger, has the speed,...
That era good, this era bad
Bayless is not a bad choice though not my favorite either. When he first appeared I thought he was terrific but since then he has become too...
Burns is about the same level as Matthew Macklin. He has gotten much better as his career has progressed, he is one of those learn-by-doing guys....
