Rios doesn't even deserve to be grouped in with the others.
Another reason Trinidad gets flak is the revelation he'd been loading his gloves.
It's decisions like these is why boxing is boring as shit half the time.
Provo won.
War baby
Seemed like the cleanest shots in that fight were landed by Duran.
As often as we may underrate all time greats (see other thread), we also over rate fighters, even when the consensus is they were great. So as...
Lewis...late 90's, early 2000 ' s Hopkins deserves some credit for his run at 160 ...90's...2000's Joffre 60's
De La Hoya Tyson
Moorer. If Teddy hadn't pulled his self-serving grandstanding lecture, Moorer never would've beaten Holyfield.
Holmes could beat Foreman. But Liston and Tyson beat Holmes. Foreman beats Tyson and probably Liston. So it's a tie.
Pavlik. He was basic. And was pretty shitty inside. But he knew how to set up that right hand. And he'd land it plenty just like Groves did.
Uh, Tiozzo for one.
Chavez might have a size advantage over Froch. That should give you some idea how much bigger he was than his opponents at 154 and 160.
Face it. This match-up is fascinating. There's been plenty of fighters in recent memory who have moved from 175 to 190.
Broner evidently has a better chin than Curry.
Thing is, Curry ' s chin wasn't great. I think he'd be winning rounds, but I'm not so sure Madaina doesn't get to him eventually.
To clarify for those looking for a debate where there isn't one, I pick Hopkins to win. Where we might have something to disagree about is how...
Either way, whether the guy deserves the shot or not, it should be good. Obviously this guy was overrated going into his performance with...
I don't think he would've won, but I think Mosley would've had a surprising amount of success. Hopkins whole game is interrupted when his...
It's a fine matchup.
Not poor America at all. I know it's hip to hate America and all and to blame it for all the world's problems (our own president does). Just...
I love how even when the joke is on the Finn it manages to insult Americans.
No it's not.
The obvious question is why the hell isn't Russell facing Salido?
You mention the officials, by which I assume you mean the judges. But what about the dozen or more other factors outside the control of a fighter...
Agreed. It happens all the time. Making it a wonder I found it worth discussing at all. :lol: But it's an important concept I think for fans to...
This is an expression you used to hear often. And it's key implication is that in fact, the better fighter does not always win. But our...
Who's ever better probably takes this one.
Hagler vs. Canelo
