Ross was a big, durable 250# HW. If you come in too light and punch yourself out, you can lose to a Purrity. Ron Stander (a good crude slugger)...
Everything except their respective chins. And don't think big (in his era, not today) Sonny had such a chin edge. Sonny mostly faught CWs. Sure he...
Ok NCF, I left shortly after making my last few posts. Here you raise a key issue about these debates. What criteria are you using to rank these...
Psychosis? Mental ******ation? Lost thier Mickey D's money? :yep Who knows? :huh
Agree re Foreman & Lewis. I think he could beat Ali - as could others on a good nite (Tyson at/near his peak for example, Lewis).
Why is it irrelavant? :nut Why not just say that Ali's 2-1 record vs lil Joe Frazier (by todays HW standards) is irrelevant? Maybe Ali's inability...
Agree with the many poster that say Tyson's prime was around '86-88+. When he had that top head & torso movement, could get inside the bigger HWs...
CT we've sparred a few times on similar threads. I don't think you're a hater, just a guy that regards the past (HW) boxers with too much...
BC, excellent post. I am a math guy, and believe me that post was too logical for the "HW no good now" parrots :yep I've never seen so much...
:huh Why? Oscar Bonavena nearly stopped Frazier in their first fight (dropping JF twice in one round), and Goerge F bounced Joe around the ring...
Agree, with the early posts. Wlad would blow away most, if not all of the CW-small HW (todays standards) HW champs of the past. He'd beat or be...
Good to see R Steele getting some mention as a bad ref. Never liked his style. He was way too active in the ring - like he was some failed boxer...
:lol: Agree, but it would be interesting to see how/if SL could deal with Valuev. Yep, NV has superb stamina for his size. I'd favor Wlad to win...
Haven't followed Amsterdam's posts re Taylor, but he seems to have called the outcome and is not exactly a fan of JT's :yep He is having a field...
I think it should be a competitive fight. Could be a JT UD or Miranda KO as someone noted above. I voted for a Miranda KO. Pavlik got off to a bad...
