Yeah, Robinson could have but he never officially fought in the weight class so he’s not included.
I don’t have Tito in the top 5 either but disparaging his victories is unnecessary. You think Mayweather’s wins are better - it’s debatable, of...
It’s a really close fight, I’m sure. Not impossible that Johnson springs an upset.
No, just fighting in the official weight class.
Wrinkly Wright? He wasn’t that old!
Norris had 9 consecutive defenses to Vasquez’s 10 in his first reign so quite comparable plus he had 6 consecutive in his third reign so overall...
My list: 1. Thomas Hearns 2. Mike McCallum 3. Terry Norris 4. Winky Wright 5. Julio Cesar Vasquez Just outside: Julian Jackson Wilfred Benitez...
Benvenuti can definitely be considered a junior middleweight.
The Wright/Vasquez debate is parallel with the Norris/Jackson debate in a way that the former lost to the latter but had the more impressive work...
About 4 months - so two to three defenses a year with a couple of stay busy non-title fights in between to balance things out. Basically, what...
Yep, Hearns and McCallum were the two I expected to see at the top and I agree with the order you have them in. I’d have Norris and Winky in my...
I’d imagine there’d be a pretty decent consensus over the top 2 but who else rounds off your top 5 and why?
Heart v chin. Frazier had one of the biggest hearts ever. You could hurt him (chin) but you couldn’t break him (heart).
Terrific matchup. Reggie is a bit Kalambay-lite so he would give McCallum trouble with movement but I think Mike would work the body to slow him...
I wouldn’t be as emphatic about Steele, but he’s a good pick. And, yep, McFarland totally slipped my mind. The Arguello thing shows the weakness...
