Seriously? Are you aware that he fought his biggest fights in 1989? Literally the year before 1990. Is decimal system so important to you?
Leonard fought in the 1980s, what are you talking about?
Why do you think Toney fought at HW? I guess because of him "bulking up", right?
I don't think it's a poor example, why do you think the quality got better and why? Of course, you're talking about the greatest big fighters...
Yeah, Tommy Loughran had quite a few such fights for example. I don't know. The last time I can think of was Haye vs Valuev where the difference...
A lot of pro boxers actually.
I don't think Conn was clearly better than Gibbons.
What's your point?
If Tua ever fought someone even close to Moore or Charles in terms of skillset, he would look hopeless against them. We have seen him against Byrd...
Both, though obese version of Toney might get outworked. Marciano was significantly more refined fighter though, I have never seen Tua pressuring...
It is lower level than Ali and Liston, that's my point. They weren't championship level fighters. Then Patterson weighed 189 and 194 lbs against...
Rocky was significantly more disciplined fighter. I also think he was better at adjusting during fights. It would be a great matchup either way.
When?
He weighed staggering 194.5 lbs against Liston in rematch. He also clearly tried to bulk up to match Liston size and it didn't end up any better...
