Hi Mike. Now that would have been a fight and a half! You stay safe too.
Fine champion and nice fella with a lovely wife. I chat to them on facebook every now and then.
Barry was a very good and exciting fighter. That left hook to the body in particular was sublime. Just a shade below the great feathers.
Hagler takes it on points. Marvin more skilled but Sam is just as tough.
That sounds right to me.
Muhammad was slightly post prime in this one.
I rate Ray the second best Welter of all time and on a head to head basis must be one of the greatest 154lb men even if he has no substantial...
Good post. I've always rated Ken. And Max would merit any top 15 heavyweight list prior to the 1960s in my opinion.
Oh yes! The golden era of Radio One was definitely sixties,seventies and eighties. I loved Pick of the Pops. Met Annie once - lovely woman.
Lol! I do a pretty good Alan Freeman one "Hi there Pop Pickers - Not 'alf!"
Food for thought. Years before the Thrilla in Manila or Brawl In Montreal we could have had 'Hulabaloo in Waterloo'
Quite feasible. Re your new avatar - the best fight at that time would have been Jimmy Young v Tony Blackburn. They all ducked Tony. His rapier...
Early/mid 70s incarnation of Ali beats prime Dempsey in a tough fight. Late 70s Ali loses.
Any version of Ray up to 1987 inclusive wins this. I give the edge to Canelo 1988-89.
Agreed. I would remove the ? from Holmes' name and Lennox Lewis would be added.
