Plant left the press conference thinking, "This guy is gonna be a bit harder to hit than Uzcat."
I just saw it. To be fair, it didn't look staged at all. Looked like a legit altercation. There's never any punches thrown in staged press...
Agreed.
Locche is the best PURE defensive fighter of all time. All the other defensive GOATS, Pep, Floyd, Whitaker, Benitez, Canto, had better offenses...
It depends on the style he's up against. For instance, I see Locche outboxing Chavez for awhile, but gradually JCC's educated, relentless...
Dream matchup for Locche = Danny Garcia. My God he would make Danny look like a total novice.
Really really off topic, but since you mentioned Argentina... I'm watching some Guillermo Villas later. Ok, back to boxing!
I would love if the footage existed. I'm a huge fan of Cervantes, but Locche in his zone was a true wizard. I don't feel Locche matches up well...
Ohhh really? Is that right? Cause last time I checked, Whitaker schooled the living shit outta both the Mexican GOAT and the African GOAT. Your...
If we can open it up to making "very goods" look clueless, then I'll add Whitaker-Haugen. Greg was a very good fighter, and Pea made him look like...
Adding to the list: Both Benitez and Duran made Palomino look 2nd rate.
I haven't watched Rigo-Donaire since the year it happened. From what I remember from seeing in live, and rewatching it, there was NOTHING close...
Ohhh, we should have definitely mentioned Taylor-McGirt! Mel made McGirt look like a total bum out there.
I think Leonard-Benitez belongs. Not that Benitez looked clueless, it was a great chessmatch, but Benitez didn't have much success at all. Up...
The legend says that Locche shut out Cervantes in their first fight. If the legend is true, then that fight definitely applies here. But since...
Good one.
I disagree about Gushiken. Well, not about the Watanabe part - Jiro was better than Gushiken at every facet of boxing, but Gushiken was a superb...
Who wins?
You forgot about Yoko Gushiken. I think he deserves to be top 10. I'm a huge Whitaker fan, but I can't consider him a pressure fighter. He COULD...
Ugo is right by the way. Chavez-Taylor has a good argument as the GOAT fight. Duran-Leonard 1 I think gets undersold as a fight, but it was more...
Yeah, it might have been a bit harsh. I could have described it differently. But Leonard was a better Taylor, and Duran was a better Chavez....
I would add that in both cases, there was roughly a 5-year age difference. I believe that Taylor was around 22 coming in, and Chavez was around...
Once again, as I told Doub, I'm not comparing the outcomes or how the fights played out. BUT there are similarities. 1. Duran and Chavez,...
Lol. I never finished the sentence and just noticed.
I and many others often point out Chavez's excellent defense. He wasn't AS defensively good as Duran, but its not for a lack of skill. Its simply...
I never compared the way the fights played out. Simply comparing the fact that Taylor was a lesser SRL and a Chavez was a lesser Duran. The one...
Though he was past his prime, the way Monzon dismantled Griffith in their first fight was a highly impressive.
There was nada competitive about Jones-Toney. James didn't win any minute of any round.
