He figures to be too much for all three. Stevenson is a pretty easy call. Pops would beat the shit outta the pimp.
Mike was a largely disliked figure in 02. The urban black American community is probably the only place where Mike was still loved in 02. The...
To be fair, Beterbiev isn't iron chinned himself. But I agree with you. Prime Kov is the favorite here, with Beterbiev a very live dog.
Yup. Frietas all day. Valero was garbage. The pre-Oscar Suarez Freitas would execute that sloppy, chinny bum.
Sure did. And stunned him at the end of round 1 with a right uppercut to the body. And both his jab and check-hook were on point.
Frampton dislikes McGuigan, so let's say he gets a chance at him, prime for prime?
Chacon at his best was way better. He'd beat the shit outta Paez. Paez would never in 2 million years beat Danny Lopez.
Have always felt that Alexis gets Saldivar out late. Both had among some of the greatest stamina ever, but I feel the difference down the stretch...
I think Arguello would body Esparragoza.
I think 126 & 130 were his best weights. He was an ATG at both those weights. Not quite at 135, though still excellent at 135.
Great thread! All tremendous talents, with Laguna, Pedroza and Marcel a cut above the rest in overall skill, excluding Duran of course. Zapata...
Resume is the only way to distinguish quality. Chacon would have hammered Cruz as well. When Chacon was focused at 126 against Lopez and...
I think you overrate Esparragoza considerably. His resume is just too thin to say he's a level above Chacon, when Chacon has better wins by MILES....
Oh for Christ Sake.
The Olivares KO was the shortest left hook ive ever seen.
Chacon was a better fighter than Tony Lopez, but still, I feel Mitchell most likely outboxes him... it would be pretty close though.
The Leonel Hernandez and Royal Kobayashi fights are perhaps the two best examples of Arguello at his devastating peak. He was wicked fast in both...
But Olivares gave Arguello Hell and was up on the cards, and Esparragoza was no Arguello. I think Olivares wins big if its say the version that...
Finally a MM that McGuigan wins. I would take Barry by decision. Hafey was strong and a bigger puncher, but McGuigan's reach and skill level...
Chico was too big for Gomez. Gomez was P4P better by a mile, but Gomez wasn't effective at 130.
Possible for Nov-Dec.
Has Jeff a chance?
Who wins?
Can Terry pull this off?
I didn't originate it. The boxing community as a whole started calling him Cherry Garcia when he went through his long stretch of fighting cherry...
I would also add that Danny at 147 got outboxed and got a gift over Lamont Peterson. He is not beating Mark Breland.
Would Chico have any chance? Or is Nelson just too good?
I would take Breland with no hesitation whatsoever. Danny did fuck all at 147. Lost to every good welterweight he faced. No reason to believe he...
A thread to recognize some of the main strengths and best performances of one of the greatest offensive machines the sport has ever had.
