Ali's resume is light years better than Lewis's or Holyfield's. In my opinion, which doesn't count for ****, of course. But I can't see it even...
Alan Minter talks about full bodied middleweights here. Towards end of video, after the fight. He puts the ring weight of a middleweight at 11st11...
Not always but often. If Monzon was coming in at 162 against fighters who were 165 or 170, it might be safe to assume he wasn't much bigger.
Non-title fights have agreed limits too though.
It's not the food it's the fluids. You dry out a bit to make weight then drink a fair bit over a few hours and it goes straight to the muscle and...
Whyte is not a world class fighter. In the 1970s he'd beat Danny McAlinden and Bunny Johnson, he'd beat Richard Dunn and Jean-Pierre Coopman...
I think he's just rating world champions. I would expect Burley or HWilliams to be high on his list if including the guys without title.
Ratings should not work on the principle of "janitor is sure this guy will do something great in the future". Ratings should be based on actual...
He was an all time great middleweight. I don't think a greater middleweight has come since, although there were a few before him who were greater.
Who did Hrgovic beat to become ranked #9? He's 14-0 against no hopers, non-entities, and yet he's ranked 9 in the whole world?? That suggests to...
It's a good list. Obviously Futch knows what he speaks of. Cerdan is underrated on this forum, and SRR as a middleweight has been underrated on...
This is how I see it. It would be a very tough fight for Bruno but I'd definitely give him the edge.
Apart from Ali, who are these fighters London didn't think he could beat?
Helenius was KO'd by Duhaupas though, who was stopped by Wilder, who was crushed twice by Fury. Parker is Whyte's best win, I would say. A fairly...
I swear "Helenius" is cited by @Mitch87 when discussing Whyte's superior resume too. :lol:
