the greatest h2h middle?:lol: nah, i don't remember anything like that, you've definitely got me there. I vaguely remember the odd pick of him...
I do, though I don't care too much about the very early one. That's partly why I see it as a fight that could go either way despite Weir being the...
Possibly a last third tko/retirement in a fifteen rounder - I wouldn't bet on it in a twelve rounder. Both these guys had that vast macho egotism...
What's hard to understand about it? Of course it's a weakness. Fighters aren't robots, plenty throughout history have at some stage stopped being...
Is there somewhere online that has an archive of where fighters were ranked by the different organisations when they got their title shots? Just...
Ayala was not the more proven at a high level. He was basically like Weir without the title shot and slightly worse opposition (Herrera was his...
They did fight a bunch of the same fringe/journeyman opponents and Weir plowed through them all easier. Weir also showed that he could go rounds...
Bottom line, McCallum should have fought at middleweight from the start if he wanted a shot at Hagler. He made it harder on himself by cutting...
I don't know what it's been like recently, but he did have a strong reputation online already in the '00s, imo, at least among classic sections...
Some '70s brit fights. Buchanan vs Brian Hudson for the british title. This was the fight right before the first Laguna bout. One I hadn't seen...
Very good point about the tedium of the Mannion fight really damaging his marketability. I don't really think it was a case of "could have taken...
I definitely don't see an '84 fight between the two being some one-sided mismatch. Several things can be true at once.... Hands of Coke Duran was...
Roman dying young also doesn't help his case. It seems a lot revolves around who they can have be there on induction night and for functions that...
What do i mean by larger man? Isn't it obvious....he was the larger man in almost all of his fights at middleweight, usually enjoying a height,...
I think Pavlik's more like Rocchigiani than Watson in his technical style. Very tall (huge at middle, possibly too much to have fought there for...
