Greatness is revealed in the furnace of adversity. Both fighters weren't at their peak, but all things considered, only those two could motivate...
That wasn't what I was trying to say. I'm saying in the hypothetical realm of H2H, it's reasonable to asterisk later generations who are noted...
Whilst agreed, it's a fundamental factor - otherwise no point in comparing fighters separated by 50/60/70 years in hypothetical H2H match ups. A...
Probably not, but born in this era, they may likely have weighed more on the scale with a more regular adoption of functional weight training, the...
Yes - but those eras never had 3, arguably 4, of the top 10 ATGs in the division plying their trade at the same time. The nearest to it is the...
I think it's becoming a bit of a myth, in a similar fashion to Ali and RJJ were all reflexes, no fundamentals or that Evan Fields was merely a...

Following on from Macca's post-of-the-year breakdown on Robbi and LaMotta - it made me think. The exact same principle is employed by Robbi in...
My hot take on Roy is that he's similarly heavy handed and speed hybrid to Louis, Robbi, Hearns, JJ and Tyson, but mentality and stylistic...
Might Roy Jones Jnr sneak in as well? I think people forget that prior to visiting G-Man in hospital, Roy had a wicked blend of speed, power and...
McCrory was a good fighter, certainly better than the version of Spence that showed up in the ring and yes, Honeyghan Vs Curry is much better....
In the vast majority of sports, improvements have been made through application of better technology, better financial support or incentives and...
Apologies - yeah, I conflated Griffith with being the welterweight champ with the fight contested at WW. D1ck of course was MW, Griffiths didn't...
Absolutely not. It's not on the same level as Duran dismantling Palomino or Curry's destruction of McCrory. SRR Vs Zivic Hearns Vs Cuevas...
Ali: Most people highlight Ali’s reflexive slipping, but Round 5 against Liston in the first fight is the ultimate display of his tactile defence...
