Weight that has not been fiddled with. Artificial joints, pins, plates and such are examples of what can be described as 'unnatural weight.'...
My favourite also, along with Bob Foster's which was less active but more fearsome.
I remember when Minter landed a punch to Hagler's chest that made a bit of a thwack and got the crowd on their feet; they continued to cheer for...
Yeah. I don't think I've seen a more versatile fighter. Against Obelmejias the first time, he even utilised a crab/cross-arm guard for small...
I don't think I'd give Napoles a 9+ for his jab, more like an 8/10 - as in, not spectacular, but well operated from experience and natural timing....
Willie Pep is a clear, clear number one for me. It's normally hard to be so decisive, but not here.
Collins gets pummeled by his idol. You can see it now; Hamsho repeated. The first one I mean. And that's not overrating Hagler, nor underrating...
You will never know.
Napoles is one of the most accomplished fighters I've seen. In terms of difficulty rating, his fighting method was right up there. It took a lot...

1. Jose Napoles 2. Luis Manuel Rodriguez 3. Kid Gavilan That's how it is for me, but like you say, Rodriguez has a strong case. They all...
Ah, well now, it just so happens that a while back I compiled a few records and some relevant Cuban ones were among them. All names listed are of...
Slightly less impressive, yes, although in his prime he still looks about the best a fighter can be.
One thing to remember is that you can reasonably argue Whitaker's case for having been 43-0-0-1 right up until the Trinidad fight. Now if you were...
I'm not quite old enough to have witnessed it live, mind ;)
