Yeah, this is a fine position, and a narrative that I am somewhat familiar with. I'd ask, in addition: Was Walcott not getting good fights in...
I just don't buy this. Leonard was the bigger guy, and he had reason to believe he hit harder and had a better chin (which I think turned out to...
You know I really wish we still had the original 8 weights and one organization, so fighters like Yuh would not be called "all-time great." Maybe...
I hear you on Tunney v. Dempsey, but I also have trouble with including a fight where the winning fight would arguably have been knocked out but...
Camacho had the quicker feet and hands, but I think Duran's overall boxing skill was superior. But Camacho is a good choice. He's a guy whose...
I thought my answers are contained in what I posted? I do not know enough of Walcott to say with any certainty (hence, much of what I said on him...
At lightweight, I've never seen a more complete fighter than Duran - and it's not close. And frankly, I've never seen a more complete fighter than...
Age is per se "Irrelevant"? I think that's a rather extreme - or maximalist - way of stating things. Suffice to say I cannot fully agree in...
Mosley had quick feet and hands himself, knew how to cut off the ring, and he had first-rate jab - at least at the lighter weights. So even in a...
I'd have trouble with the inclusion of Whitaker in this group. He was a defensive specialist and probably a bit lacking in firepower to earn the...
Wasn't Walcott actually older when he fought Louis? And more diminished relative to their primes? I seem to be recalling that Walcott was even...
It was the late-fight accumulation effect rather than one-punch concussion though. "Sonagi" (the "Downpour") threw a ton of punches even for a...
Me 3.
As I said, the truth of the brawl in Montreal has suffered from the revisionist propaganda from Leonard and Dundee.
We are talking about performing surgery on live patients - not cadavers! ;)
