Passing away early surely makes a fighter's greatness more mythical.
I agree. Do you think he would last long in today's era? There's much more social media attention and hype that could easily make Hamed much more...
You're assuming Manny wants to fight Spence. He won't even face Crawford. Beating Ugas wouldn't be a bad win either. Most folks won't give anyone...
I think he underachieved....let that sink in @escudo
I think it is. I'm a Floyd fan too.
If Pryor was able to fight better competition then I'd rate him more. There's tons of fighters who had the abilities but not the resume to answer...
James Dean was actually overrated though..... Plus, it's easy to underrate Sal because he died so early.
He called out Crawford before Bud did Boxing fans have amnesia lol
Spence has the better resume at 147. He can gain more leverage by beating Ugas.
McCallum might have a better chance than Ray at that weight imo
GRJ might make an unexpected visit to this thread..... :iloveyou: Al Haymon lol
Ike never seemed to have a Plan B. Sweet Pea for me.
Which old school fighters would be celebrated more in the modern era?
Which modern day fighters would be celebrated more in past eras?
I think SRR and McCallum would have a good chance.
