    Here we shall post our opinions of fighters or fights that go against the norm. Something you know others will raise an eyebrow at........come, post it up, that we may :blood or :lol: at your expense.

    Here are a couple of mine: I think both Leonard-Duran I and Pryor -Arguello I are overrated fights. One was a grapple-fest, the other too one-sided to be a truly great fight.

    Frazier-Ali III is way overrated!
    Chavez vs Whitaker was a draw!!!!
    Nelson would have beat Sanchez had they fought a 2nd time!!!!

    Jimmy Young is the greatest puncher of all time. He just didn't want to hurt anybody. :oops:

    He would have made him look as foolish as he did Ali and Norton.

    Carlos Ortiz would have decisioned Roberto Duran...Carlos Monzon would have decked Roy Jones in the 14th round and stopped him...Gene Tunney would have split a pair of decisions with Joe Louis...and he would have twice stopped Jack Dempsey if the fights they had were scheduled for 15....Jersey Joe Walcott would have decked Wlad Klitschko twice and decisioned him.

    I thought Jack Dempsey was robbed in both Tunney fights. And I not even talking about the long count.
