The basket rings can be loosened, or one of them can be more loose than the other. A loose ring is easier to hit, a shot that is a bit off goes in...
That's true but it's the same with hockey too, teams can vary the rink size based on their preferred tactics. Also in basketball the conditions...
Good one. Muhammad Ali fought plenty of trash late in his reign, but closer to his prime before the Foreman bout he fought...
In Bernard Hopkins' case, for some reason I always forget he fought Carl Daniels. Otherwise I recall all his bouts from the middleweight...
Baseball, or car races, or golf. Also in hockey there are maximum and minimum limits for the rink size but not a set measurement. I can see both...
I don't mean the fifteen in a dozen bouts where some totally obscure cans face each other. But are there some fights where a great or semi-great...
Meant to be a serious discussion, despite the historical background tensions around this subject.:Jest: If we view boxing as a metaphor for a...
Hipp fought all even for eight rounds against Tommy Morrison and had some solid wins too. Him vs Butterbean is closer to a 50:50 fight as a sumo match
I watched Monzon vs Bogs yesterday and based on that I'd make Hagler about 70:30 favorite over him. Monzon was much better than he looked, but he...
Even if the BTC was a gay Korean band, as long as they have working jabs they should win. As of Tito vs Crawford, Bud looks good enough to...
So, give examples of MMs that are impossible to pick because the chances are 50:50 or very close to that. Fights between chinny bangers are the...
:Jest::Jest:
Yes, they just added one more division above it
If all major titles are included, Byrd - Williamson must be the worst of them all. It made all Ruiz fights, Wlad vs Sultan and Briggs vs Sultan...
From the oldies, I have sometimes wondered why Marcel Cerdan doesn't get mentioned more. Superb record, KO over Tony Zale and an even fight with...
Just like Shavers vs Bruno, too close to call. Could go either way at any second
True. However much you hate Canelo (and there is plenty of reason), you must admit that he faces tough challenges. Smith is a bigger guy and the...
I know I'll be in the minority but I give Wilder a very legit chance. Liston had skills but he was hittable and Wilder is built to beat better...
He was a very good technician don't get me wrong. However I believe you'd agree that without the punching power he wouldn't be nearly the same...
Personally I don't see Liston over Holmes. His freakish reach would cause some problems for sure, but a big part of Liston's game was to steamroll...
Yep. Fixed
I could see it go both ways. Bowe struggled with Tony Tubbs when entering his prime and his porous defense would be an inviting target for Holmes'...
Larry Holmes is among my favorite fighters to watch ever and I believe he would have a legit chance of beating prime Muhammad Ali, so obviously I...
I'd rank Chavez as the greater, as he is among the most legendary fighters ever and a Tyson-like superstar for Mexican fans. However there are...
But as I said, I don't know if there has ever been a fighter good enough to beat LW Whitaker. And if you want to look at it through...
If I tried to make an argument for Whitaker, I'd point out that prime Leonard lost in his best weight class and was outboxed for 12+ rounds on...
I don't see it as quite this simple, even though I'd pick JMM too. At 135 Juan Diaz made a good effort against Marquez, and landed plenty. Tank...
Who, in your opinion, was the better fighter and who should rank higher in the all-time standings? Leonard had that incomparable record whereas...
Even this version of Brook is among the best opponents that Crawford has faced, which says something. That said, I like TC as a fighter and I...
Cooney is always one punch away from a victory but considering how Moorer was able to beat Holyfield, he definitely has a chance. And yes,...
