This is about as even a match as one could ask for. Both combatants adept offensively and defensively. Duran wouldn't be able to bully Napoles...
Yes, Hagler's boxing skills see him edge this one.
Giardello would run circles around the chubby LW.
I like LaMotta in a bloodfest. Duran puts up a good spirited fight but Jake's ultimately bigger and stronger. Not to mention he's just a mean,...
At WW, I like Ray by 14th round TKO. At MW, I like Robinson by earlier, but still relatively late stoppage.
Cuevas defended the WW title 11 times between 1976-80, and often literally broke faces doing so. It certainly isn't Pipino's fault that he didn't...
Pipino easily. He ruled his division with an iron fist for 4 years. Barkley's biggest claim to fame is beating Hearns twice...and ceding his title...
I don't see how Pryor can possibly lose. For all Meldrick's speed, he would eventually worn down by the Hawk's unrelenting aggression.
Giardello by easy UD. If Dick Tiger can't (1/3), Basilio won't either.
I like Tiger by points, as aggression will be the tiebreaker.
Tiger would've put Hearns in the hospital. Nothing against Tommy but his weaknesses would only be too exploitable in this one.
Two of Africa's finest. Can the boxing skills of Sumbu keep the Tiger tame, or will Sir Ihetu's aggression enable him to bore in and mow down?
Two combatants with all-around talent and punching power. Napoles is slightly bigger and stronger and would understandibly be favored, but...
Marvin Hagler. I wouldn't say he's the most talented, but I can't say the man has any weaknesses. He had technique, punching ability and a cast...
I like Napoles heavily at 147, slightly at 154. As superb an athlete as Ray is, I just feel Napoles has a talent/power combination that is hard to...
