    Good picks JT...I disagree with SRR at middle but not by much....I do however strongly disagree with Zarate as a pick for bantam..he was a weapon of mass destruction there but Id pick a few over him...at the very least the guys you mentioned.

    Fenech is massive dark horse at 122...I would pick Gomez to beat him, but not by much..pretty much my top 2 guys H2H at the weight...Nice call.

    Cheers mate.

    Frig me dead your comments just made me realise i missed one of the biggest divisions and one of my more controversial selections :lol:


    Robinson on his best night has me pretty contented at 160. Monzon, Hopkins and Hagler IMO will all hit more snags. Greb is good but too much a leap of faith for me.

    Serious question, very serious - how much footage have you seen of Zarate, Olivares and Jofre?

    Gomez would be fave over Fenech but i have a feeling ;)

    Hmmm, interesting matchup. Fenech, at his distance closing, swarming best, if he didn't get busted up might have something for Gomez in the later rounds.

    Great picks mate. I take it my choice of Marciano was so good it caught you off guard and made you forget about one of the greatest divisions, but then i had a knack you were going for Spinks. ;) And who could argue against him, with his height, ackward style and power. His LHW resume is second only to Charles and perhaps Moore.

    Thanks mate.

    Yeah you clean blew me out of the water and it took a full division for me to regain composure hahaha


    Spinks is a jolly chance of being the greatest H2H 175 ever. It's all debatable, but anyone thinking he's not heavily in the mix can safely be shoved aside.

    Ive got a career set dvd of Olivares...well they say its a career set...Its got I think 13 of his more meaningful fights..And probably a few others on top of that.

    Ive seen Zarate against Ferrari, Fenech of course, Gomez, Kplango, Zamora, Pintor, Zaragoza, and some others, but I dont think in full, like a few highlight packages.

    Admittedly I have seen the least of Jofre...Both Harada fights, I have the second one, the first Ive only seen once, I notice that youtube has a few rounds from it so Ive watched those quite a few times..highlights against Medel...A fight against some Mexican who was about as short as him, he knocks him out...I swear I saw some highlights from a fight of his at feather but Im thinking Im just getting confused.

    It'd be far too complicated for a dumbo like yourself, that's for sure :nut

    I don't want the likes of dimwits who name the totally unproven Tony Ayala as an "all time great jr middleweight" anyways

    :lol:

    "Fight for your life" I thought it had something to do with defending your life in a bar type situation
