My opinion was that a rematch would have opened up the possibility of too many problems for Julio. Everyone knows he lost, so a rematch would...
It was the cards that got him. Shuffle, shuffle, deal.......shuffle, shuffle, deal. Ruined many a man.
I love Hagler, but he'd be the type of friend who kept reminding you for years about the time at the bar he bought more rounds than you and how...
He's not even top ten.
I don't get the rationale some have that a fight is "overrated" if what they consider proper technique isn't shown. Who the hell cares? Anyone...
This. You can't use different individuals to compare, as if zero rounds is some ground zero marker and everyone degenerates at the same level for...
Superficial understanding of things.
Have to agree there. It was like watching a fat baby attack a smash cake at his first birthday.
Makes it all the more a stain on the sport and himself.
Robin Blake- Adolfo Medel from '84 was terrific. '83's Jimmy Paul-Andy Ganigan represented kind of changing of the guard moment, from the...
Tubbs, Bey, Page, Broad.......a number of porkers in the 80's too. Now Ruiz is just embarrassing, that's on a whole new level.
Walcott is the only one here that has any chance.
When I started following the sport in 1983, the lightweights were hot, and in '84/'85 they were considered the deepest division in boxing. In...
Good scrap, thanks for the recommendation! Here's how I had it, very close to your score: 1. Even 2. Johnson 3. Johnson 4. Johnson 5....
Lockridge was the first guy I thought of. An interesting pick might be Eddie Davis, against Spinks. Horrible fight to score, razor-thin any...
He's referring to the great middleweight "Nonpareil" Jack Dempsey, who came before.
This.
This one's next, thanks for the tip!
I was going to tab the 12th even as well, but as you describe, wasn't convinced Laporte's ten seconds of action or whatever it was was quite...
Azumah Nelson W12 Juan Laporte I don't know why I put myself through so many Laporte fights. He's pretty infuriating to watch; he's very...
I think they saw them just fine. Pedroza was a standout champion for that organization, so my belief is that they pretended to be blind to a...
Don't think so. Taylor's style was based around speed and high contact, both of which are exceptionally fleeting or taxing in an athlete, and...
Bill Costello Leo Randolph Tito Trinidad Ray Mancini Arguello
It'll never work.
Apples and oranges. Pedroza wouldn't have fought like Gomez, so Sanchez wouldn't have had those kind of opportunities.
