UK: Frank Bruno, Jason Booth, Clinton Woods. USA: James Toney, Pernell Whitaker, Harold Johnson Mexico: Juan Manuel Marquez, Salvador Sanchez,...
Good question and good suggestions so far. How about Leslie Stewart and Acelino Freitas to add to the mix?
In terms of greatness I think Pacquiao and Whitaker are pretty much interchangeable, and I'd give both a bit of room ahead of Hagler there. I've...
Napoles clear for me. The guy was a small Welter, more of a natural Light-Welter if anything and he'd pretty much established himself as the best...
His one with Starling after the Molinares fiasco was amusing in a dark way.
I think 154 favours Trinidad but styles still potentially favour Oscar. To be honest I think De La Hoya's physical prime came at 140 and he fought...
Interesting one. De Jesus the classier fighter but even though the fights were at 140, I think his losses to Cervantes and Mamby (particularly the...
Probably creeping into the top fifteen but he's got work to do before he deserves a top ten shout - and given Fury's inconsistency and lapses in...
Not a close fight and the two judges who scored it 97-93 were on the money in my opinion. Awful performance by Garcia who looked out of shape,...
Really good fight with Fury making harder work of it than he need have. Credit to Wilder for sticking in there and landing some surprising shots...
Donaire has always been a little bit vulnerable against southpaws. Has a couple of impressive wins against them to be fair (albeit I never quite...
Toney 1991-94 was pretty impressive. In 1991 alone he fought Sosa, Nunn, Reggie Johnson and Mike McCallum. Some supposedly world class fighters...
Cheers mate. Should be contributing more as we move into the late part of the year, had a busy summer.
Interesting matchup, Xplosive. Two guys in that category just below legitimate greatness who usually gave value for money. Both won, and lost, a...
Who knows what Usyk might be capable of at Heavyweight but right now I'd have to go with Fury without much hesitation. He's more adaptable than...
I see them both losing to Jones without being disgraced. If I had to lean towards one to have a slightly better chance I'd go with Ward based on...
Haha, yeah I thought I'd probably raise a few eyebrows with that one @Xplosive. A deliberate outlier just to mix things up a bit. As I said I...
CW: Not very original but would have to be Usyk for me. One of the few Cruisers to match Holy in terms of stamina and has the technical tools to...
He got a bit better as his career progressed under Steward, and he was a very hard worker - but I think Dennis Andries would be a decent shout...
I like Tszyu in a big way in this one. The way to beat Tszyu was to muscle and stick close to him, and be the puncher in there. Garcia could crack...
Yeah, I think I'd take Taylor by decision here as well, assuming the judges are on the level. I could see it being a fight where Locche probably...
Most of the outstanding candidates have been named already, but I may as well add a couple of suggestions which haven't (apologies if I've missed...
Actually agree with you on the hysteria over fighters losing a few rounds in a fight or struggling before forcing a stoppage. It's a sport and...
I agree with you @George Crowcroft - I'm confused why this fight would really change anyone's views on Canelo all that much, for better or worse....
Saunders did okay in rounds 4-6 where he took the initiative a bit more and had Canelo loading up once or twice but, rightly or wrongly, this...
Saunders hasn't got the power to stop Canelo, and there's no way he's getting a decision against the Mexican money draw in front of a pro-Canelo...
Easily done isn't it, @Xplosive. It's a bit of a joke how many awesome choices there are in the bottom five or six divisions around that time...
I'll limit them to world title fights. Heavy: Ali-Frazier I Cruiser: Mutti-Murphy Light-Heavy: Kates-Galindez I Super-Middle: Littles-Liles II...
'Better' is open to debate, I guess. I'd rather watch Toney in full flow than Chavez as we've all got our preferences and biases when it comes to...
