guys you never heard of Monzon would control him with his jab and nail him with the right every time he tried that jump inside bullshit... you want to get nailed with a pin straight right hand in the nose? jump in towards Carlos Monzon... I can hardly think of a dumber strategy against him... maybe standing there with your hands at your sides and laughing
exactly my point, the fact that you are getting all of your info on him from the internet is part of the problem I cant fathom looking at boxing or anything else for that matter from the point of view that you look at it... I would never say "this is better than that" when I don't know what "that" is or I only know about "this" what you do around here would be the equivalent of watching a minor league baseball game without ever having seen a major league game and proudly exclaiming "the local semi-pro Akron Tool & Dye Stompers are the best baseball team in the world and would totally beat the New York Yankees, whom I have never seen play"
I've seen Hearns fight and that's what matters. I saw him fight Duran, some random guy I can't remember but he iced him in two, and Hagler and Barkley and Leonard. So. I have seen him fight enough to know Froch would stop him late.
so, four or fights of his are enough, but 8 or 9 Sugar Ray Robinson fights are not good enough to get a sense of a prime Ray Robinson? where is the line in time where you decide that "such and such guy cant be rated because there are only 5 or 6 fights of his available" ? 1980? 1975? 1967? when does Gus Lesnevich's 5 or so fights become totally irrelevant but 4 or 5 Tommy Hearns fights are perfectly fine? I figure Hearns is 1980s... you already mentioned Monzon, and hes 1970s, I havent seen you go any earlier, so Im guessing that anything before 1970 can not be trusted unless there is a blu-ray version with 35 different angles
good post. My initial reaction was to pick Froch, but as you said, hearns has beaten plenty of good tough fighter. While I like Froch willingness to fight and heart, he's too ordinary to beat Hears who was a hell of a fighter, even above 154. And saying he lacked heart his plain idiotic
Take a dig to the head. And, for what it is worth, I'm not sure Hearns "big-right-hand" was really all that bigger at 168 than Taylors right hand or Johnsons or, for that matter, Abraham's, who did, after all, brain-damage Dirrell with a single right hand, not to mention buzzing Froch with it and blasting Taylor with it. This isn't Roberto fucking Duran at 154 anymore.... Carl Froch is a 6'1", rangy dude with a solid chin and good variety. Hearns would be best advised to go to the body a lot. Hearns W12 would be my head talking but my heart see's Carl doing him in the last round if Hearns has tired, which he did, a lot.
This is Obviously Another Experiment...TLC is just PRETENDING to B Boxing Ignorant... REED:hammert::crying:
