Roman Gonzalez vJimmy Wilde,Miguel Canto,Pascual Perez -who would do best in losing?

Canto, methinks.

:bbb

 

:nono

 

Jimmy Wilde had the same prescient understanding of distance; just as defensively difficult, if not even more so. I'd say that this is as close to a mirror match as can be achieved, given the inherent incongruity of the differing eras' rule sets. Of course, there's no way to really discern which of the two was truly better. The game was far too different in the Atom's day. Wilde wasn't even a flyweight by contemporary standards, often weighing in fully clothed at less than 100 pounds.

Perez, too, was undersized. He's not the complete fighter Roman is, but if he's lucky, he might last the distance a la Estrada. Though I rather doubt it comes to that.

Chang would present a good, hard test for Chocolatito, I think.

 

This thread is a joke!

 

Gonzalez would give all of them a tough fight and is in with a real shot of beating Perez - the Argentinian was hittable.

A bout against Miguel Canto is a purists' dream. The smart pressure and tight defence vs. the roaming footwork and left hand. Though it was a quality fight against Yaegashi, Canto brings the kind of generalship he was sorely lacking. Who would make it their fight?

Wilde, well, it's difficult to pick any flyweight over him. Once you get past the mystical power for such a tiny man there is that uncanny method of baiting n' punishing. Reporters were bowled over with his sense of distance. This style was forged since he was a kid, in all climates, against bigger men. It was a style entirely his own. Unorthodoxy is often a strength in the ring but Jimmy refined this unique style into one with Benny Leonard type proficiency.

Pit them in the 1950's and I feel Wilde should edge the rounds with those nimble legs and shotgun blows.

 

Flea do you think McGrain is serious with this?...I tend to think he is...Haven't really paid enough attention to Gonzalez to comment here...But I found myself agreeing with his take on Hopkins/Braddock...(joking or not).

 

if they all lose canto does best.

 

Pts? He stops Wilde. And maybe Perez.

 

Fascists the lot of them, and those that aren't are reds which is the same thing just in reverse.

 

tbf, i kind of miss the Soviet Union these days.

 

It's times like this I miss sigs.
