I don’t think Hearns really could have stayed outside against Hagler. It was too difficult. As Hearns said, he felt he had to get respect or...
Probably Pryor-Arguello 1 One thing I have a hard time deciding is the best fight of the last couple months of 82’ Pryor-Arguello 1 Gomez-Pintor...
A fight between Oscar of 95’ and Camacho of a decade earlier at 135 would be a terrific matchup.
Not that surprising given how awful he looked in the two Golota fights and what a horrendous beating he took the 2nd time around. I was worried...
I lean towards Spinks here
Charles. Too much of a size advantage and the talent/skill advantage for Ray isn’t enough. SRR was the greatest P4p fighter ever. Charles...
I think at 130-135 he’d give him (and just about everyone else) a tough fight, but Floyd would prevail, winning 7-8 rounds. Similar in some ways...
135 between Oscar and Camacho would be a really good matchup. Oscar only had like 2 fights at 130 so I think the better matchup is at 135. Oscar...
They would, but also should be expected to win anyway due to size advantage. Hagler was a MW, Leonard & Hearns won their first titles at 147 (as...
Duran RJJ Hopkins Morales
Not well. He was on the small side for 154 (look at how far he got down for the catchweight bout with Meldrick), and had a poor chin. Things...
I don’t have a top 5, but I think Escalera 2 might be his best performance
I would confidently pick the Lewis of 97-00 over the Bowe of 91-92 (I think it should be 92-93). Lewis was more polished by then. If it’s when...
If it’s at 154 during Leonard’s 79-82 peak, then I pick Leonard with ease. 79-82 SRL is on the short list for best fighters ever captured on...
I was just rewatching that last week. I remember thinking of that quote and scene quite a bit before Hopkins-DLH. I knew Oscar had little chance...
