I think Usyk has the skill, southpaw advantage, accuracy and fitness to evade Bruno’s power early on, and stops him in 8 rounds, too fast and too...
That’s the one I thought of…Calzaghe put on a masterclass and essentially finished him as a fighter.
Rene Jacquot for me. Him or Francois Botha.
Louis for me. So efficient, powerful and precise. I think he takes a close decision.
I always remember Ossie Ocasio, firmly in the “opponent” stage of his career, coming to the UK to fight heavyweight Jess Harding. Ocasio clearly...
True! I spoke to him there a few times in the last years before I emigrated.
I thought Leonard edged it, and still maintain that Hagler underestimated him before, and during, the fight. He gave up some of his belts and...
Makes total sense. And I did like him…could imagine having a pint with him on one of my many stays in Dublin, it’s just the Jones & Kalambay...
Michael Moorer at light heavy. I think boiling down to that weight made him vicious. And another vote for Benn…that first run of straight...
Broner by a long way. I also used to be irritated by Steve Collins. Such a brave, solid fighter, but I always saw his career as having two parts...
Nigel Benn retires after the McClellan fight…I’m surprised he went on for as long as he did. Tyson after Spinks. Don’t get me wrong, plenty of...

It was scrapped because Berbick picked up an injury. That opened the door for Bruno vs Bugner in October ‘87.
Great thread, and spot on in the way H2H often mistakenly plays out. Nunn v Kalambay is tough to beat. I’d also say Ali knocking Foreman out in 8...
I’m all in on the picks so far! Would add (forgive me if these are repeats) - Hatton vs Ward Hearns vs McCallum Trinidad vs Starling Bruno vs...
