I think the Gatti one was a cover up job by the Brazilian authorities. It was first considered first degree murder and then changed to suicide....
Fantastic thread premise, @Richard M Murrieta! I’d like to have a clear answer into the deaths of Arturo Gatti and Alexis Arguello. Both ruled...
I remember looking into Galindez’s record between 1972 and 1978 just before he lost the title and comparing it with Roberto Duran’s during the...
Looks a pretty fine list to me!
Mate, he’s a waste of time - I wouldn’t bother.
Yep, Arguello was in an episode of Miami Vice: https://miamivice.fandom.com/wiki/Alexis_Arguello and so was Roberto Duran:...
I was being overly emphatic to make a point that I think H2H is a quite an abstract way of rating a fighter if that is someone’s main or only...
And that’s why it’s all subjective. A fight like Hagler-Hearns would be on a lot of greatest fight lists and near the top, but it’s been called...
I don’t agree with everything you said but your intro made me laugh! I think we’ve established in the overrated fights thread that we have pretty...
No, just defined ‘junior’ or ‘super’ divisions, although you could consider Cruiserweight as ‘Junior Heavyweight’, but nobody calls it that....
If you think that, I think this conversation is over. Thanks for the exchange.
@Bukkake - king of the boxing pub quiz.
Terrence Crawford v Shawn Porter Very solid win from Crawford against a game but somewhat limited challenger. Crawford gave me the impression...
@OP_TheJawBreaker I really want to see a list of your all-time favourite fights - a top 10 at least. I’m going to hazard a guess and say it will...
Fantastic post.
You are tough to please!
I haven’t been able to bring myself to rewatch it. I remember being really excited about it in the lead up to it as it was the p4p 1 and 2 facing...
What a disingenuous post. You rate Crawford for not getting stopped like Hearns did… when he fought Shawn Porter. Is that the great Shawn Porter...
Here’s my accomplishment/resumé v H2H ratio: accomplishment/resumé: 100% H2H: 0%
You’re complaining about Hearns in the top 10 and then suggest Spence and Crawford could be? They don’t deserve any mention near the top 10 or top...
Cheers, George. I’m interested to see if anyone thinks it’s not junior welter but I would agree. I also agree that junior feather fight for fight...
Which do you think is the deepest of the junior and super weight classes historically based on the number of quality fighters who campaigned...
I think this is the fourth fight, right? Unbelievable war.
Mayweather’s resume is significantly better, I’d say. Even accounting for his penchant for not meeting some of his opposition when they were at...
Floyd Mayweather was an exceptionally disciplined pro.
