I think everyone gets it. If Your point is that boxrec should not be changing fighter's official records by treating "Newspaper decisions" as if...
The reason is probably the same that led newspaper journalists to start scoring fights when no official decision was given. It's not natural for...
You're probably right about Cotto. He was never a middleweight anyway.. Only beat crippled Sergio and weight-drained Geale there and never...
I don't think He'd beat them at Middleweight, though. With his body frame, He likely wasn't able to go beyond his 150 max fighting weight...
Right answer is probably some old timer where the size diffrence would not be quite as big - but when He was boxing, I thought He had a chance of...
You raised an interesting point - at least for me, since I never put much thought into it and I didn't know why the things worked the way They did...

I'd say it proves that plenty of people had Hopkins beating Taylor. Who's the person running "Classic fights revisited" series on here? @dmt ,...
All those fights were close (and interesting, so have fun with them). I wouldn't call any of them a robbery. Point is, Taylor was never some kind...
Yes, thank You Captain Obvious. The fact that our opinions on the outcomes in fantasy fights also don't "count" should be noted as well, in case...
I did not have Taylor beating Hopkins, Wright, nor Spinks. I suspect I'm not alone in this opinion, since I remember Larry Merchant or Jim Lampley...
Not quite the same level of conditioning and consistent aggression though. I think He'd do similarly well as in his time. He'd probably pull off...
Correct. It takes a unique type of mindset - but people like that are out there, which is why You can go to Youtube and watch Jack Johnson wrestle...
I wouldn't call myself a real collector, but I do collect fights - yes. I don't keep everything - I'm not as commited as some. Although I keep a...
You are right, there's too much boxing today for anyone to keep everything - and people collecting fights had to sacrifice a lot of time, effort...
