    Archie Moore has good odds for beating Evander Holyfield.

    I could see that one. Not sure I would favor Archie but it would not surprise me if he won.

    Derek Chisora is a bad match up for Joe Frazier… I know, I know I’m sorry,

    My rare opinion is that the cruiserweight division is good for boxing. I don't think it always would have made sense but with the size of modern heavyweights, it does. Some of the best fights over the last 40 years have been in that division.

    Joe Louis is the most perfect fighter that has ever been filmed

    I definitely wouldn’t favour the Ol Mongoose I’d be unsurprised if he won and Holyfield to me wouldn’t be a big favourite… I’m glad to see someone else that roughly shares that opinion. Isn’t boxing great with all its wiggle room? I’d give Moore, Quarry and Frazier odds for EH but not AJ, Whyte, Vitali and Foreman… Chrisora would do better against Ali then Foreman and better against Foreman then Frazier but Quarry likely KO’s Chisora. These are all my 0.2$ but I love this sport / business.

    Him Ricardo Lopez, Alexis Arguello and Jose Napoles are the text book of boxing. Brilliant, brilliant fighters I’d favour Joe Louis over nearly everybody at HW - I do acknowledge he could lose but he has the skill of a 135lber and a punch like a howitzer.

    Rocky Marciano isn't the Antichrist.


    Also, your favourite fighters are probably on the juice.

    I think it needs to be returned to 190lbs AwardedSteak that felt like the right home for the big LHW’s and small HW’s with up to 10-20lbs of hydration in average instances so classic sized competitors would have a better home, now classical HWs are boiled down to 175lbers and 200lbs is too close to “Open Weight” I also think it should’ve been called “Rocky weight”
