You more than capably gave examples of some great WW wins by SRR later, but the post above sums up how I feel. If he fought in a much more...
Fury has a chance at the buffet, but I cannot favor him. In a fight it is hard to find a plausible enough scenario to think Ruiz is at all...
I am unsure who was greater; there are convincing arguments both ways. It cannot be a dramatic difference. You could give Hearns credit some do...
He could have gone to LHW, but like the others you cited would have been at a disadvantage. Even the likely GOAT only did it briefly-& he was...
At least for their first fight (which I was referencing,1981) it was the same day weigh in. Here is a link saying that died in 1983, although I am...
I knew it was a mistake, just having fun! I read about it year ago, did not know he ran extra, then his own fault!
GREAT post! :campeon: Except I would only call it a couple pounds to "despair" in a case such as Hearns trying to make weight against Leanard. He...
Fury is jerking us all around, acting unethically, tends to be unhinged... But he is certainly not at all a coward. There is no indication he is...
I do not know a great deal about Bivins, but how can he be expected to beat the possibly GOAT HW (at least relative to era & size) if both were at...
Good points, except Foreman tried mightily to get a rematch with Ali right? Also he had said his wife was making him retiring after...
I dunno...First in boxing unlike non-combat sports a good offense is part of defense. But if you like SRL, then how do you account for the much...
That is a defensible opinion man! Although I see no reason why a Tyson or Ali could not be fresh with day before weigh ins. Dempsey is not as good...
As usual excellent job Rummy! :iru: You gave a fairly detailed review of each fighter, so I would have included a review of Usyk';s brilliant, 350...
Oh right of course. It is just that guys misinterpreted this thread that I created, which was asking the same question but re: making just under...
Dude, you are not even honest with any of us here. I easily established that you completely misrepresented who I am-at best if not consciously,...
But IF they do not belong here, you should never have disputed my condemnation of glorifying Monstrous Autocrats & mass murderers, & huge...
There are a few things you say that are illogical, internally contradictory... And mainly you are not hearing anything of what I say; acting like...
F Fury has a nutritionist? You mean he literally comes down from a Sugar Hill? So he is in camp when he..,.Passes over running up to a Sugar...
Those were immoral acts-although you can argue that many more people were saved due to needing to devastate Japan to cause surrender-not my...
We are used to you being harmlessly completely unhinged about what you confess is essentially an unhealthy over-identification + obsession with...
That is all good my man, it is just the guy did hold the title & was very good, so I did not know if it was national partisanship or something!
Mcvey you are one of the longest active posters around, we should thrown a virtual party when you the odometer reaches 100,000 posts!...
Also you understand how Tyson or anyone 215-220, especially if muscular (which hold more water), could very credibly weigh in THE DAY BEFORE at a...
Nah man, because Foster could not even do at all well at HW! My question was & is who would be best IN RING at under 200. Again, that would...
But the others I cited, including Ali & Tyson, easily or reasonably could have made CW. See my original post-it is fine if you still pick Louis,...
