I disagree. Obviously it won't be the major names, but some promoter Dickhead will grab some pretenders in the need of career boost to fight...
It's possible, but I actually think boxers survive better than other athletes. Even if the lockdown lasted for a year, that would still mean two...
A wild, violent explosion that would end inside three rounds either way
Very difficult to say of course. Robinson looped a little bit with his punches and didn't have the Leonard/Hearns speed, but considering his...
I'd pick Spence, mainly because Norris was hardly ever able to stay concentrated. Of course to win, Spence would need to be at his sharpest too
I have a pal who collects fights like this for his job (it seems), I'll ask him today
Winky wins pretty easy
Totally. You see, you are able to make insightful points
I was only arguing against the claim that it was a 50:50 fight
It is called a hyperbole, which is a figure of speech used to emphasize an expression. Like "Buddy McGirt is a cowardly mouse" is not an outright...
Cool! Never heard of this guy
Jack Johnson has been claimed to have fought in his 60s but in his last bout mentioned in boxrec he was 53
Bad example, it was an exhibition fight as the sanctioning bodies didn't accept it. You of all people should remember THAT
I don't find Schumer funny, but then again, I don't dig Britney Spears' music nor Cosmopolitan either. I find it weird that people (not you)...
https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/451 Did you know, for example, that Oliver McCall fought a year ago, at the age of 53? Also Ron Lyle fought at...
I have always hated this mythical match-up, mainly because I am a big fan of Arguello's and I can't see him winning it. He was just hoo hittable...
Very understandable mistake. For the record, the only reason I knew otherwise was that the fighter Eddie Cotton twice beat Pekka Kokkonen, who is...
Not the same guy. The ref Eddie was no light heavy
:Jest: I had to check when the fighter Eddie Cotton actually died, apparently in 1990. RIP for the ref Eddie. Too trigger-happy for a ref and he...
Yeah, I don't get it how 175 lbs guy is actually bigger than 190 lbs guy, unless we are talking about height, reach or such. And even if he were,...
If we accept this premise, then we must also note that 175 lbs Roy Jones was about ten pounds heavier than Spinks at light heavy and that might be...
Also, Ward was at his best at 168 lbs which leaves him with a significant disadvantage to start with. Ward makes a good fight with his smarts and...
He never was much of an expert, and when he lost his edge with sources (meaning, information was available to everyone) he had very little to offer
Agreed. It must be remembered that it is a different game even when the rules are similar. Movement and using distance as your primal defense is...
As a fan of everything boring, I actually liked most of Byrd's fights (though Byrd vs Williamson is THE poorest title fight ever and that's...
Legacy yes, but I am not sure about money. Cruisers didn't get paid too much back then (they never do) and also at lt heavy Byrd would have had...
Please. Cooper wasn't a lot better than anyone. The guy was never even a top-10 contender, nor even very close to being one. And of course I know...
This is a pick'em the same way Thomas Hearns vs James Kirkland is a pick'em
Probably Usyk. Jirov was good going toe-to-toe but Usyk has a much greater variety of tactics
Stylistically a very bad fight for Toney but at cruiser he'd have a chance
Separate names with a comma.
