So did LaMotta.
Of guys with under about 10 fights: Vyacheslav Glazkov (by a long shot) Bogdan Dinu Artur Szpilka (assuming he can stay out of jail) Michael...
Chuvalo, but McCullough and McCall deserve to be in the discussion. Pocket Rocket fought much harder punchers than Hagler over the course of his...
Eh, I'd rate Campillo better than Erdei, personally. If someone wants to find the other Erdei thread from yesterday, my full thoughts are there....
There's still an ARGUMENT that he's still the lineal LHW champ, although I personally think he gave it up when he retired (whether he intended to...
Huck by ugly, ugly decision. To p.falk - he's legitimately won all of his other fights besides Lebedev, but hasn't exactly faced the world's...
Khan by a longshot. I'd still favor Floyd, but he's the only one with a physical characteristic that could give Mayweather problems. Ortiz is...
Not right now. But I think he's more likely to be better in the long run.
I've seen several Zaveck fights, and while I do think he's underrated, I don't think he has the speed or accuracy to handle a focused Berto....
Let's see where Fury is in a few years though. I agree that right now Helenius is better, but Helenius was still an amateur when he was Fury's...
I echo all of these sentiments. I like watching Perez a lot more, and I think he's a better technical fighter (by a long shot), but Helenius just...
Maybe he could beat Cunningham (who is faded at this point), but he'd have a snowball's chance in hell of beating Lebedev or Huck (who he already...
Tier 1 - Leonard, Whitaker Tier 2 - Hagler, Hearns, Chavez, Holyfield Tier 3 - Nelson, Sanchez, Holmes, McCallum, Spinks Tier 4 - Tyson, Pryor,...
And who's better? Sam Peter (who lost to Wlad, then barely beat shot fat James Toney twice, then barely beat fringe contender Jameel McCline and...
Kelly Pavlik, probably, who isn't top 5 but sure as hell isn't a tomato can.
