Curiously Liston dropped Iron Johnson (who also said Liston hit harder) while your boyfriend failed to do so. :think
Vitali would have beaten Lewis had they fought again. Maybe even prime for prime. The really early boxing champions often just sucked. If Sanders had managed to get the fights that mattered and if he'd trained like he meant it, he could have been great An MMA fighter > a boxer with no cross-training
James Shuler would've beaten Alex Ramos and Juan Roldan, in addition to Mike McCallum and Roberto Duran.
Vitali deserves lots of credit for beating Solis. Solis was legitimately very good at that point, and Vitali legitimately knocked him down leading to the injury. It was a legitimate win that belongs on the long list of heavyweight match ups where good fighters got stopped early. Same with Wilder-Scott, except Solis was better than Scott
That's not an opinion, that's a question. And the answer is Duran was more skilled over all, especially on the inside, and had far better defense.
wtf??? You came to a boxing site to provide grammar lessons, maybe you need to re-evaluate your life. But if the implication is that you're more educated than I am well that's possible, but not very likely.
You started the condescending bs, so can it. Btw, you just wrote another two sentences with a comma in the middle instead of a period. My point is, Mosley and Duran were gifted aggressive fighters at 147, each of whom looked amazing at the right time, but then folded later to good boxers. That includes 154 too. I think they'd get similar, not identical, results if they switched opponents.
