Rarely, if ever, has Double L's line been more suitable: This is very telling
I can't think of any. Cuba maybe, or maybe Great Britain as all their Olympians get huge hype and many of them turn out to be busts. But then...
Barrera 1 and Hatton fights had the biggest Wow!-factor which I find important as a sports fan. Pac's most complete performance was the Diaz bout
But a desperate need to see heavyweights worse than they are is noble. Got it. Mind you, 90s was the worst era ever too, and Lennox, according to...
Great post
Lewis' chin hasn't been seen as his strength, either. Chances that Joshua will be as good as Lennox are slim as Lewis is a top-3 heavy, but the...
Primes, Bowe's leaky defense would cause him a headache, especially around his left temple, but overall I see him outworking Spoon.
Action-wise Brewster vs Liakovich is a legit contender, but because of its significance Joshua vs Klitshko takes it. Imo it is a top-5 heavyweight...
Spoon was very erratic even during fights but he had very good technique and his overhand right was a formidable weapon, even though he KOed less...
Mentioning Bellew is a joke, but all the others on that list actually have a better victory under their belts than Bruno ever did. Bruno looked...
His legacy will live forever in the names of Pee Wee Whitaker and Ruddock Buttock
Also this Koelling guy that Beterbiev beat up is not that easy to look good against. He was 23-1 and as an amateur made it to the Olympics, and he...
Beterbiev was lackluster but I wouldn't write him off quite yet, as he does have great amateur background, and the demolition of Cloud was...
I don't think JoM called him skilled, but talented, in which case I'd agree. Predictable patterns and inability to counter are skills which can...
Not sure about Louis-Conn as Conn only lead on two cards, by two points or so. It was a close, hard-fought battle
But Ray Mercer is stuff of legend, right? After all, that is all I am arguing against
How is that less meaningful than creating shitload of new topics, only to make the point that this and this fighter from the past would have...
Exactly what I said. You shouldn't base your picks on single fights and results, much less on the mental images of fighters
This is so ridiculous. All fighters are rated based on one single performance, the one that suits us the most. Yeah Mercer gave Lewis troubles....
Wolfe KO1, but if Sly gets a boner he wins by a decision
Today is the day Sly is no longer a man
Joe Bugner vs Bill Drover Though I guess it must be noted that the ref scored the fight alone
Wilder looks as if he was easy to hit, yet Ruddock actually got hit a lot. Not that it matters though, since mental image of 90s always beats the...
Solid examples. A coach can indeed be a top trainer at relatively young age. Not the most respected, but successful nevertheless. However imo the...
But they retained their status up to eighties unlike in any other sport
Dear White People seems promising after two episodes
Why isn't this the case in other sports?
All the great ones have been guys in their eighties, Futch, Arcel, Benton, Manny etc. In practically no other sport is there a situation where...
Fantastic read! Thank you
Seems reasonable. Reasons for why fighters stopped fighting are difficult to gather too though. Did the game change only outside or also inside...
