The debate inspired me to take 3 minutes of my work break to watch the 12th round. I had it for Whitaker, narrowly, the tipping point being his...
This is where the ‘boxing is mental’ thing comes into play. Holyfield would always be mentally tougher than Mike and have the mental edge. H2H,...
I guess we’ll see how people respond, but I think that opinion would be much more unpopular on the general/world forum. For Mayweather, a LOT of...
All the boxing stuff aside, Holmes was infinitely more grounded as a person and in far less need of acceptance/adulation. He was more inner-driven...
Wonderful breakdown and ‘screenplay’ of how you see it playing out. I’d favor Marciano to wear Max down enough to get him late, but I appreciate...

Well in all of boxing history, sure, any fighter you name in any weight class you can probably find someone who fought tougher opposition. Doesn’t...
I think I understand your point, but some undefeated fighters absolutely faced better opposition than many (in some cases most and possibly all)...

This. Anyone who retires undefeated almost certainly beat someone’s favorite fighter so they resent the undefeated guy for it. Their guy couldn’t...
Bumping this to see if we can get some bites/guesses on this question. I am not sure if it’s particularly easy or ridiculously hard.
Not only that, but Cal was also left-handed.
Jeez you’re right. It has been at or near the top for two years, but if not for me making a few posts today it would have surely fallen into the...
I can’t see a way where Duran doesn’t get beat before getting to Leonard again if he turns down the rematch. I doubt Hearns would say ‘I’ll take...
