Yeah, but his chin never was.
Balance is a delicate thing Vlade. Just because he wasn't crashing into the ropes doesn't mean he wouldn't have gone down. I think he grabbed the...
I think in recent times referees have been more inclined to enforce rules about using the ropes to support oneself in the instance of a landed...
Think Marquez with a better chin, better stamina, and harder punches. The end.
I don't think anyone can say for sure whether Marquez would have gone down or not if it wasn't for the ropes. If the ref did call it a knockdown,...
I had Taylor by a point but it could have gone either way. Lot's of close rounds.
:D:good
Furthermore, I'd say even the Leonard-Tendler fight featured Leonard a little past his best.
The only lightweight footage available of Leonard is half an hour of the first Tendler fight, where the film is quite blurry and hard to make out....
Good point. I've only seen bits of his fights with Docusen and Fusari at welter which isn't enough in and of itself to form a picture of Ray at...
I like your welterweight rankings best amongst that lot, though I can't really separate Duran, Napoles and Gavilan myself.

Rock, how do you think Tunney would fair against a Roy Jones or Harold Johnson? Would you favour him in those matchups?
