I think the recency of Joshua's loss to Usyk, coupled with enough time passing for people to forget how generally underwhelming Haye was as a...
An interesting angle is to consider fighters who were never the same afterwards due to the effects of a fight they won. The old pyrrhic victory....
I think Spinks gets overrated above 175. I've never been too convinced by him north of there. He beat Holmes fair and square first time out but...
There were a couple of close rounds and I could see Usyk winning it by anything between one and three points (I'm not above giving 10-10 rounds if...
Holmes for me. Not necessarily top three in any single criteria, but very consistent across the board and scores well enough in all of them.
I thought Rafael Pineda beat Judah back in 2004, but Zab got away with it on the cards. Pineda came desperately close to getting a big upset win...
Not a bad fighter but I have a hard time getting past the Trinidad disaster. I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone box a stupider fight at such a...
Funnily enough your example at the start of this thread was the one which instantly sprang to mind for me, @IntentionalButt. Great call. Thomas...
Taylor for me. Tank can punch but he's been matched very well, usually against brawlers who don't have a great punch themselves. I don't expect...
I think he's #1 now. Usually I'm a little reluctant to rate Heavyweights that high, but for this converted Heavy I think we can make an exception!...
Knowing Larry as we do, I strongly suspect he'd follow that pattern that a lot of guys do on the 'Best I've Faced' articles: nominate all the guys...
THAT version of Holmes, then yes I think it's perfectly possible. Larry looked awful in the first fight against Spinks. He looked better in the...
He clearly has genuine talent and skill, and looks great when he puts combinations together. I like the way he can change levels with them and...
Completely agree that the cards were too generous to Ramirez. If you wanted to be kind to the judges, you could reason that maybe it was one of...
Yeah, Chavez Jr is the largest confirmed case I can remember off the top of my head, though you have to wonder about some others who have managed...
