Completely agree re the Dempsey-Firpo fight and the Johnson-Ketchel fight. Johnson-Ketchel is historically significant but not much of a contest....
I think there are worse placements - Saad-Lopez 2 at 84 is crazily low. So 54 isn’t that bad, particularly when you consider the list was made in...
Watched Jofre-Harada 1 again today, although didn’t bother with a card (scored it 145-142 and 144-143 Harada on the other occasions I’ve watched...
Happy New Year, Scar! Hope you and your family have a great 2022.
Thanks, man! Yes, the Littles win was impressive, particularly because he was against the clock on account of that nasty cut he received in the...
1. Nunn 2. Jirov 3. McCallum 1 & 2 4. Reggie Johnson 5. Barkley Just outside: Prince Charles Williams Why? 1. Nunn was the best middleweight...
I agree with most of the fights listed but it’s 25 years old so I’d swap out some and replace them with others. And it’s hard to evaluate some...
Neither Hagler and Monzon fought at light heavy so I can’t pick them. Roy Jones is the obvious pick because he was a light heavyweight champ and...
Well, the 50s was basically Archie Moore. Joey Maxim was just keeping the title warm for him. Harold Johnson was an excellent champion in the...
Yeah, this is proper.
At the time they fought, George Dixon and Terry McGovern were probably the two best bantamweights and featherweights that had ever lived. And you...
Obviously, 19 consecutive defenses (over 3 years) is impressive, no matter what the opposition but it’s not the only consideration. You’ve got to...
Alexis Arguello - El Flaco Explosivo - fits that model too, obviously.
I don’t think this one has been mentioned explicitly: Victor Galindez v Ritchie Kates 1 in 1976 - unbelievable fight.
The 40s was probably the best in terms of top end fighters (Charles, Moore, Bivins) but the 70s was incredibly deep and most likely more entertaining.
