Kid Gavilan Johnny Bratton Watch the fights involving them. The end.
I was more impressed by Jacobs’ comeback than anything either of them did up to that point. I thought the dude was a total bum, but he’s turned...
Two of the titles Gamez won were vacant. And his opposition was no better than Broner’s, honestly. I’ve never thought that highly of Arce,...
Barkley was on a different level than Gamez, in my opinion.
That’s fair.
HW: Ali or Tyson LHW: Moore? Tunney? MW: Probably Hagler WW: Robinson LW: Duran FW: Pep BW: Jofre? Olivares? Zarate? Fly: Wilde
Gomez was just tougher. Neither had great chins, but Olivares capitulated easier. If Gomez went out, he went out on his shield. I think that’s the...
If Gonzalez pulls it off, he becomes a certified ATG. He arguably already was, but his massive setback against Sor Rungvisai damaged his...
Pretty overrated fighter, though.
This is why Sanchez can get overrated. I don’t even disagree with you on the fight itself, but the fact that he was taking a “walk in the park” in...
How you gonna ruin my joke in your opening post?
His fight against Pichit Sithbanpranchan (one of two fighters named that at the time, I kid you not) is well worth a watch. Great comeback.
Again, that mainly refers to outside factors. In mainstream culture, Attell is more known for his involvement with Arnold Rothstein and the...
The Kilbane fight I was aware of, but that was the very end for him so I never thought much of it. Wasn’t even aware of the biting incident with...
Great win, although I disagree that Arguello was just as good as he was at 135 and especially 130. I think that’s going too far. But, I prefer it...
Yes, he most certainly did.
Outside of the ring he got his hands dirty a lot, but I’ve never heard of him being a particularly dirty inside the ropes.
Saddler is the main one for me, just because his style seemed to revolve around it. It’s why I don’t rate him nearly as highly as most.
As far as Robinson goes, I think it’s just as much mischaracterization as romanticism. He was never the pure boxing master/defensive genius that...
I like Boogie Nights a good deal more than Magnolia, which is still very good. Love John C. Reilly’s character, and obviously Tom Cruise takes an...
Same as you. There Will Be Blood and The Master are maybe the two best movies of the 21st century. I’ve watched them both at least 15 times.
Leonard won gold at the Olympics. Hearns.... lost to Aaron Pryor and.... I got nothin’ else.
There’s several Asians with better wins resumes than Harada. I don’t really think that’s what sets him apart. Jofre X2 Kingpetch Medel Rudkin...
Well, he started off 32-0 before losing to Hopkins and from there he’s gone 22-21-2, so I’m gonna have to class this as incorrect.
Saad/Lopez I was awesome, too, with an 8th round that was virtually identical. That was peak Saad.
Dick Tiger is the best example after Hopkins for my money. Got off to a late start, aged 22, and was little more than a crude brawler at the...
I’d have to favor Barkley’s toughness, as Roldan was a notorious front runner. Wouldn’t be at all surprised by a Roldan KO, though.
Bartfield couldn’t have been a scrub, though, could he? He seemed to be a legitimate Welterweight contender for the first half of his career and...
The guy on the far left and the guy in between Gavilan and Fullmer are the ones I’m having some trouble with. I’m thinking the guy on the left is...
There Will Be Blood No Country for Old Men Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind The Prestige Lost in Translation
