Unusual opinions of yours....

Sort of a grade "B" Chuvalo chin-wise..I agree with you though LittleRed...he does have the left hook from hell. He was discouraged by LL..imagine him vs Ali, Holmes & my man Jimmy Young..vs Young, he would have had to visit a shrink afterwards..if he thought Byrd was a riddle, lol.

 

Corbett-184 (167)
Gardiner-168 (168)
Dempsey-147.5 (150.5)

the wins are great based off the quality of the fighters (well corbett and dempsey, don't know much about gardiner) but the 3 division win is a bit misleading considering how close in size the fighters were between the divisions (only 36.5 pounds seperated middle from heavy) and fitz was as big or bigger naturally than dempsey and gardiner.

 

Dempsey is extremely overrated.

 

Tyson has an easier time with a Prime Holyfield than he does with an old Holyfield.

 

Interesting. Why does he have an easier time with Bowe than with Holy?

 

The second Ali-Frazier fight was a good bout. I know this goes against the grain. Not as good as I & III but pretty good.

 

Yeah, I must agree, RC. Tua would feel about as crushed after his victory over Young as anyone felt for getting a victory over Young. He would be horribly dispirited, indeed. Right good call, that.

 

:d

 

let us summarize it by Tua >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Young

 

By some yes he is EXTREMELY overrated i've seen people put him in the top 5 p4p.

Jeffries is the most unproven of all heavyweight champions and I believe even the likes of Chuvalo (who gets way underrated) would beat him over 15.

There is no name on Louis' list of opponents that would even hint he could beat a Holmes or Ali.

 

Michael Watson was better than Nigel Benn AND Chris Eubank and was getting better all the time.

 

Collins > Eubanks > Watson > Benn

 

He was always my favourite of the trio.
But ultimately the facts seem to prove that Eubank was better.
