Oscar via overwhelming physicality against almost any Lightweight that wasn’t one of the legit greats. That includes all on the above list except...
I knew weight classes were pointless!
Ya don’t say? It was by far his most high profile fight, thereby the one that got him the most exposure and the one he became known for. Same as...
Pryor was a good 10 or so pounds heavier, so I have a hard time believing he would’ve been at a disadvantage in strength or power. He was never at...
The same people who only know Conn for the Louis fight. Which was my point all along.
Not in a true sense. Most don’t know who he is at all. Those who know his name do so mainly by extension of Mike Tyson.
Which is why I haven’t actually answered the question. Just in a nitpicking mood.
Oh shut up, schmuck. There are very clear similarities between the two. It’s probably the first comparison most viewers would make if they were...
Bro, he defeated 10 different champions over the course of a career that spanned from Welterweight to Heavyweight. Remember, this wasn’t the...
Roy was the fastest fighter ever overall. Hand speed, foot speed and defensive reflexes being the 3 types. For hand speed, I give serious...
Michael Spinks’ biggest claim to fame by far is being KO’d in 90 seconds by Tyson.
What did this have to do with the inane post you quoted?
He moved up 3 times. He put together a strong reign without a defeat in 3 different divisions before failing to beat one of the very best ever in...
He was as dirty and grimy as they came, and against consistently overmatched opponents at that. He made his name beating up on shopworn former...
Rose’s brief Bantamweight title run far eclipses Ramos’ equally brief Featherweight run in terms of opposition beaten. Ramos did the better work...
I think Ramos being last is the easiest pick to make. I don’t consider his resume superior to Marcel’s. Nor do I consider Davey Moore to have been...
If it’s a 10 rounder, Marcel probably gets the better of him, as a young Laguna arguably did. Over 15 it’s a much tougher task for him. I’ll side...
He did no such thing.
16 at Lt. Welter for a total of 27, which ties him with Narvaez for first place. Louis still holds the record for consecutive defenses at 25.
To be fair, he didn’t stop Frazier in his tracks. Foreman did. He beat a shopworn Frazier a year later. Still, he beat 3 fighters who were...
Terry Norris- Boxed very well in the rematch against Simon Brown, the shopworn Welterweight who beat him like a red headed step child before...
He was fighting at Heavyweight just two months prior. He had to lose over 26 pounds during that span to make weight. This was actually the fight...
1. Chang 2. Marcel 3. Buchanan 4. Rose 5. Ramos Fairly easy for me, though I could see how others would have difficulty.
He had a brief amateur career (15-30 fights) but he turned professional before his 17th birthday, so I’d agree that he learned most of his craft...
Napoles was far greater pound for pound. I rate him higher at Welterweight, too, but the gap there isn’t as wide. Even less so in a head to head...
