Agree to extent, although the gloves of the era must have been protective enough to allow Dempsey and Walker to throw some quite wild punches
I don't see much difference between the 2 versions. Foreman is 28 and in his prime in '77 and still manages to quiet easily stop Frazier and Lyle....
Remind us again why Laporte, Rosario and Ramirez are better wins than Pacquaio or Barrera Also is it Lonnie or Buck or Verdell Smith your picking...
It's rose tinted when you're essentially painting many fighters from one era as being better than the top 3 P4P of this era just gone. Even boxers...
Leonard is quicker and better defensively than Robinson. Robinson was the better puncher and maybe better in combination. Not much between them really
He'd beat anyone not named Robinson and would give Robinson all he could handle and maybe beat him too.
It's a KO either way in the first 5 rounds. I'd lean towards Tyson's faster punches against Foreman's none existant defense but Foreman's uppercut...
That's a very rose tinted outlook though Also no way in hell that Pac 4 was a fluke. He'd been robbed at least twice, knew he couldn't leave the...
Fair play but annoying to both fans and fellow contenders of the day. Wasn't there also 'Marvin can have a rematch if he admits he lost' thing too?
This is revisionist nonsense is actually made up by yourself. Kelley and Hamed were the biggest draws in the division because they were both...
I'd say pretty easily. I don't think anyone comes close for having the same combination of handspeed, power punch speed and reflexes This...
I mean McCallum obviously wanted fights with Duran, Hagler, Hearns and Leonard at the time. They all fought lesser guys outside the Fab 4. He was...
Really should make another thread if we're going to continue this, but: He didn't but neither did Chavez. We know Chavez clearly lost to...
I don't think for a miniute Chavez beats Mayweather at LW, he never beat anyone nearly as good. Not to mention this is irrevevant to the thread....
In some ways Bruno has advantages in the 10s. Smaller gloves and being able to stand over a fallen opponent would mean he could do far more damage...
