I don't think Roy took his foot off tbh, I think Hops adjusted. Watch him progressively close the range and lead more, then smother from the 8th...
I have him low in the top 20, neck and neck with B-Hop. But it depends who you have above him, really. Personally I think Pernel, Jones, Hops and...
I'll break my usual embargo against p4p match ups since this one is so uniquely interesting. :bears: I think Floyd is smarter, technically better...
In fact I take it back, having Roy top 10 isn't that crazy.:lol: I don't personally, but it isn't totally nuts.
And by the same token he should be judged on what he did do instead of what his fans imagine he could have done. As we've been through before, I...
Roy 'why should I?' Jones.:bangh:
No. He'd be in the top 20 for sure, but no.
AgREED, actually. Roy set a horrible, horrible precedent for marque fighters.
Don't think there'll ever be a guy as fast or visually impressive as that, no. Roy was one in a Googooplex as Doc Brown would put it. :lol: I...
Precisely. And his style gives his fights the rewatch value of a badger rotting to mush in timelapse.
:lol:
Ward, easy-easy. Ward & Dawson are turning my frown upside down re: emerging talent in boxing. These guys are not too far behind Pac & Floyd. A...
:lol::hammert:
You just listed a whole bunch of my all time favourite fights.:mj: Virtuoso performances have by far the most replay time in Hut's vhs/dvd/youtube...
Very good article, cheers Double L. :bears: This in particular was SPOT ON & it's very encouraging to hear somebody with some clout say it: “But...
Well, I knew that Holy was considered a soft touch, but I didn't know the odds were quite that long!
Holy was Mike's, what, 4th fight out of prison? I really think at that point Holy was the logical step up/progression, especially considering that...
Remember that one, good KO. But the answer is definitively no.
:laughing::laughing: Thread of the month
:laughing::laughing: AHAHAHA
In fairness, Lewis was a nobody when Mike went to prison and Mike was a basketcase post-Holyfield and in no position to take on anybody credible....
In what sense though? His greatness, most definitely. His standing in Mythical match ups like this where you take a guy at his best - also yes,...
Is he? I don't think the main argument on Mike's behalf is that those fights were aberrations - just that post the Spinks fight he went off the...
This idea is utterly insane but I'd sure as shit buy it.
:laughing::laughing::laughing::bears:
:lol: Nicely said.
You're seriously exhausting, mate. You're like some blackened, despising Orwell character trying to pick at the dirty stitches of everything.:lol:...
:lol: Ooft. Johnny Nelson-John Ruiz?:popcorn:
Now I know what those guys with diseases named after them feel like.:lol: Cory spinks-Kermit Cintron is a pretty unappealing prospective fight at...
Totally agreed. Boxing seems to be the only sport (or walk of life) where going off the rails can't just be accepted as genuine. Nobody looks at...
