Clearly better? That's a hard call to make. Some respectable examples: Shavers-Lyle, Sims, Mercado Foreman-Lyle, Frazier, Cooney, Morrison,...
Let's assume for the sake of argument that Carlos had a heavyweight chin. He is not out jabbing Bob from long range, and Foster demonstrated his...
No, I think that shared last name is purely coincidental. If they were closely related, that would have likely been publicized when Mac was...
Duran was more controlled. He'd get underneath Pryor's high flying headhunting, and work both Aaron's exposed body and chin. Even with Panama...
After the nature of that defeat, Sal owned him psychologically. To have any kind of chance, Wilfredo had to be honed to a razor's edge when they...
Bobby Dykes was no Hearns, but he was a high quality taller welterweight with a superb right hand carrying dangerous power. Robby had him...

Sal never had the chance to rematch Gomez and LaPorte, but he did have a return with Lopez when Little Red was still just 27, and stopped him...
Harry dealt with the jabs of Tunney, Loughran and the Gibbons brothers well enough, and Carlos would hold neither a speed or endurance advantage here.
It may be telling that Pedroza wanted Sal badly, while Sanchez was thinking about moving up and testing Arguello (while Alexis was foolishly...
A deadly close call. For me, it matters that every single one of Arguello's championship wins was decisive. Only Arturo Leon and Jim Watt lasted...
Fitz might have had the best chance with Hagler on the basis of his solar plexus punch. Marv's chin would have to be bypassed. Chavez was not Ed...
Is it safe to assume Archie Moore had something to do with it? (The Mongoose was the one guy who Ali admitted could trash talk with him on even...
Anybody who went 15 rounds with Palomino ought to qualify, as is the case with Frazier. (Of course only Ali and Bonavena did this with Joe.)...
Leo Randolph's title winning epic against Ricardo Cardona had enough drama to make up for the brevity of his career. David Capo was the first...
