    I don`t agree that De La Hoya`s jab was effective against Mosley in the same way that Winky`s jab was v Shane because in both fights with Winky the jab totally dominated Mosley while he was able to beat De La Hoya maybe Oscar landed the same amount of jabs, Shane also says he hit Winky a lot in their second match but he hardly touched him! Floyd was definately the best he`s faced, great thread.

    Good stuff. Amazing to read Mayorga explaining how good other boxers were.
    Maybe the translation from Spanish was wrong....he call anyone a pendejo or worse.

    I enjoyed all of them, but especially Angelo Dundee's....I'm so glad that he gave Willie Pastrano so much credit.

    Cool link.

    It was nice of John Ruiz to say of Tua, "I admit that he really got me." Good of him to admit that. We would have never known otherwise.

    Great Thread! Thank you so much for sharing! Great reads on both Nigel Benn and Julian Jackson. Julian was rated 25 of the best 100 punchers of all time. Sounds right to me! This thread will keep me busy for awhile! thanks again for posting!

    I love this series, thanks for posting. Interesting that Foreman has so much respect for Lyle for being able to slug with him.
