How was he overwhelmed? I had him basically down a point to Duran when the ref stopped the fight because Marcel wasn't throwing shots in return....
Who cares what weight they broke in professionally at? It's all about where they peaked. What is so hard to understand about that? Roberto Duran...
A lightweight weighing 132 pounds. When they were both in their mid twenties IN THEIR PRIME they were lightweights. Chavez was not at his best at...
The Chavez excuse list looks like this: - Whitaker was too big - Whitaker was hitting low - Whitaker was ducking down to the ground to avoid...
Here's some of Chavez's weights: Kenny Vice in 1989: 143 1/4 Rodolo Batta in 1989: 143 Tony Small in 1991: 145 Ignacio Pedromo in 1991: 146 Juan...
Look at them in the ring. Did he look naturally bigger? Not really. The weight wasn't a material factor in the fight. If the fight had been at 140...
Oscar de la Hoya fought the wrong fight a few times in his career. e.g. - Trying to outbox Whitaker - Thinking he was the bigger, stronger guy...
Good and accurate post. If he could have remained at 140 for the majority of his career he could have stayed successful for quite a while, but...
Hatton is probably the best call but there's been plenty of others. For example: Terry Norris - Would have been Ko'ed by PLENTY of middleweights,...
144-142 Laguna Ortiz: 1,2,3,4,8 and 12. Laguna: 5,6,7,9,10,11,13 and 14. Round 15 even. I thought Ortiz was doing well early on, but then...
I don't think Ramos was embarrassed in any way, shape or form by Laguna M2S. Laguna was ahead, but that was a super competitive battle, marred...
My scorecard is actually quite different to yours GPater in terms of the round-by-round breakdown, but in terms of outcome, it's pretty similar....
98-94 Johnson Charles: rounds 3 and 7. Johnson: rounds 1,2,5,6,8 and 10. Round 4 being even. Had the knockdown in the 10th been counted...
The JCC-MAG period I'd say. I thought he looked horrible against Quartey. He was in good shape for Tito and the Mosley fights though, but...
DLH over 12 for me, but over 15 it's much more an even fight.
