That's not beside the point. One defensive slip doesn't mean fatally shitty defense and thus it doesn't necessarily decide the fight either
@154 obviously In the eWBSS tournament Wright actually miraculously knocked Ray out, but I don't expect that to happen if they fought for real...
I meant as in "stopping from getting close"
Personally I don't see it. At 130 he was a very good puncher. Give 140 lbs Floyd more punching power and he'd be pretty much unbeatable, as of now...
Ray that beat Hagler faces prime Carlos instead. Monzon's fights were often close. Emile Griffin was able to frustrate him for long and even Joey...
Stylistically very difficult for Floyd, but the cunt had the ability to find ways to victory. Floyd was at his best at 130 but I'd make him a...
I am thinking Pac slashes Chavez. Chavez wasn't as fast as Marquez and didn't have his countering abilities, nor Morales' reach. If he got close...
This is a really good point and easily forgotten.
Nunn should win and if they had a ten fight series, I think he would take about seven of them. However he was inconsistent both in his career and...
Helenius vs Kownacki was supposed to be an Eliminator fight for the WBA title. But that of course was since Kownacki was supposed to win....
Has anyone been following this on YouTube? The fights are simulated on EA Sports Fight Night Champions game. The heavyweight tournament is...
I agree Marquez' record is surprisingly deep. He wasn't as dominant as Whitaker, but their records a very comparable
The Ring ran a piece of this bout somewhere in the late 90s. The article was about famous boxing conspiracies. It's been a while I read it, but...
But there are very few examples that would suit both threads. This thread is about technicalities, yours is about anomalies
Don't be mad just cos you didn't understand
Not exactly, although I got the idea from that. Here the reason is obvious why they lost, which is the opposite of your premise
They are not that common if you are trying to find the crappiest of crap. Like Kevin McBride is way too good a fighter to list here
It totally counts. This thread doesn't listen to excuses
Tim Anderson, a guy Larry Holmes knocked out in the 1st in his first comeback bout, holds a win over Jimmy Young
List some instances where a total scrub holds a victory over a great name. Usually the good fighter has been shot, injured or whatever, but it...
Good one
Harris vs Maussa
Not necessarily. It could be that in marketing the fight King wanted to portray Norton as 'the bad guy', but with King it could be anything else...
:Jest: I said he was a publisher, not a Nobel-winning physicist
Unfortunately not. My publisher didn't know how to find an English publisher, and translating the book would cost a lot, after which I should find...
I thought about the Holmes vs Cooney thing too, in fact I wrote about it in my boxing book In ancient history there have been shamanistic ritual...
It was an eliminator, not a title fight
Donnie Lalonde
It is possible. They built like hundreds of new hospitals in very short time and made very strict restrictions to everything, which is easy...
In China the situation is getting better. Maybe they can fight down there?
