I have followed heavyweight much more than any other division and also there is much more fights between contenders available from heavyweight...
From several pages back. I can see the point about champions and the absolute top of divisions being on different levels. However, I still...
Ruiz-Johnson. I have rewatched the bout like three times (and this is not a joke)
This is a good point from another perspective too: boxing in the 80s was more main stream than it is now, just like track and field. In track and...
Of course he won't retire. It's just that he hasn't made the headlines for a month, he had to do something
You have any reason to oppose to this idea, apart from that it is a new one?
this
Not much of a slickster even, more like a Sven Ottke that actually trades shots every now and then.
Wilczewski is one of those honest, hard-working and technically skilled guys. He can't punch and he isn't very quick, so he is a gate-keeper type...
True that, but this Polish guy is better than the scrub he lost to
Wilczewski isn't bad. He whupped past prime Amin Asikainen last spring for the same title. Definitely a good test for an up and comer
I preferred Stevedave's pick, but this is almost as plausible
Which out cold KOs of Lewis are we talking about? Once I can think of at championship level are Rahman II (even though Rahman was in his senses,...
How cold is cold? Ref stops it when someone goes down, 10 count, 1000 count, what? Out of Wlad's recent fights, clean KOs (not stoppages) have...
Klitshko fan :Thumbs:
Sorry bro. I have no problem with your take though: we see boxing very differently, that's why I have always found your views interesting
What about James J. Jeffries?
If I can ruin another Duran thread that way, I don't mind being wrong
Exactly right. My favorite fights are sort of combinations of both, clashes of style and tactic are interesting (Arguello-Pryor, Leonard-Hearns...
Right, I am not saying that Spinks would easily stop Duran before the halfway like Leonard did, nor would he score a near shutout on scorecards...
Chavez-Taylor I is perhaps my favorite fight ever Chavez-Haugen is still fun to watch. Tszyu-Chavez entertaining beating as well
It is, but it might be enough here. Spinks jabs and lands first, runs, clinches, bitches, throws another jab, runs some more, hangs on, and in the...
Yes the speed difference is there, but watch prime Ali getting hit by Mildenberger or Chuvalo or slightly off-prime Ali against Jones and Norton...
True, but that makes it even more surprising that he isn't completely useless
Griffin beats him up so bad that Duran won't show up to the press conference
Ok, I'll go easy with you. If I lose, I'll post what I promised. If you lose, you'll post a nude pic of your wife to your sig, that isn't...
I want in. If I win, you must wear the picture posted. If I lose, I am ready to to put this to my signature: "I confess I might slightly...
Ali by late stoppage after trailing on points early
I pick Lewis. Head to head these are the two best guys ever and Lewis has more trouble with some guys whom Ali beats clearly, but head to head...
Mosley always. Greater fighter
