Bumping this a few years on as I was thinking again about this matchup today. People still feel the same way?
I watched Morales-Barrera 1 again last night. I just wanted to watch something unequivocally great and it really is one of the best fights of all...
Great thread for a great fighter.
Pound for pound, I think Lopez is going to need to put on some more pounds.
Best matchup and most exciting are not necessarily the same so I’d probably pick Sugar Ray Robinson v Sugar Ray Leonard at welter as the best...
Decent list - not too much I disagree with. The only obvious omission that I can see is Ezzard Charles. He deserves a place in the top 20.
Yep, the ref even admitted that he stopped it for that reason.
I am a little surprised Arguello is ahead of Hearns but there’s no real argument I have with that position. I have Hearns just inside my all-time...

My scorecard is pretty simple for this one: 1 Hagler (close) 2 Hagler 3 Hagler Entertaining: 5 Heart: 5 Skill: 4 Close: 2 Significant: 5 The...
I just think Hearns has too many physical advantages here. No doubt that Armstrong is the greater fighter overall but there are only a few...
Pernell Whitaker v Buddy McGirt 1 An absorbing fight without ever getting genuinely exciting, there were enough ‘eye of the beholder’ type rounds...
Exactly right. Even though I had it 115-113 to Toney and he had the bigger moments in the fight, particularly the final seconds of the final round...
Great stuff, Scar! The first one reminds me of Arguello-Escalera 1 and 2 but Escalera was behind on points in both fights but seemingly the...
Spot on on both counts! Sometimes fights between the same two fighters play out the exact same way and Jones-Laing and Golota-Bowe are perfect...
