Archie Moore should be top ten. Apart from that, great.
Yep. Moore's later title defences were nothing to write home about, but he is excused for: a) Defending against Johnson and Maxim previously...
Well, yeah, minus Greb maybe, but I just don't see it.
Monzon carries on... Rodriguez 1968 Colbert 1976 Hagler 1978 Antuofermo 1979 Minter 1979 That would have to be top ten for me.
Gavilan? Quite tall, active, quick and durable with good skills and stamina. Rodriguez? Busy, strong, technical, good body puncher.
I actually meant 'the second time.' De Jesus was still quality in 1974.
It would. Add Valdez in 1977 who weighed over the limit and didn't have the title on the line. Hagler is credited with ruining Valdez on the way...
Thanks mate, was beginning to question ratings :o Yeah we'll scrap Saldivar. McCrory would still be a top win for Duran at that time. I...
Here's a better one. Jose Napoles beats: Nicolino Locche 1964 Ismael Laguna 1965 Carlos Ortiz 1966 Ken Buchanan 1967 Nicolino Locche 1967 Now...
Kalambay is up for debate. But Saldivar, you're quite right. I was just going through the ratings. ****ing #2 lightweight in '76 and '77 :huh:lol:
Just a silly 'what if?' Objective: take an already great fighter and add five wins to his record to make him undoubtedly 'the greatest of all...
Duran was, of course, amazing. But in that category he's out done by Moore. You can argue Duran's placement above; but it will be on peak...
Yeah but least I admit it.
Oh right. Duran, by his mid twenties, did seem to have acquired the skills of someone much older.
More than who did? Moore? Or Arcel? What kind of knowledge? History or skills?
