I agree with Scar in so far as that De la Hoya was a full-blown, well settled JMW when Floyd fought him, and Floyd wasn't as filled out a WW then...
That's the point. He's a smallish WW who's taking on a natural JMW, who will probably grow into 160 1-2 years from now.
The fight still wouldn't happen unless both fighters were willing. Anyway, i don't care too much about the behind-the-scenes stories or the...
Fair enough. I guess that's why they fight the fights, right?
so does that mean you think Canelo's too green, or that he's just not good enough/Mayweather's just too good?
I've heard plenty of people bring this up, like "Mayweather is taking on a green Canelo before he becomes too dangerous", which to me is grasping...
I'm tempted to say Pryor, although i'm as huge fan of Floyd's. If Hatton and Augustus were able to force Floyd into a physical fight, you know...
Interesting fight, but i would have liked to see Thurman in with Soto-Karass, who is a bigger challenge physically (strength/size)
Would he have been head and shoulders above the field like he is now if he had fought in the 70's? No, but 'just another guy'? GTFO of here with...
tough call. similar in speed, power, size. Guerrero a bit better technically and a bit more versatile. Also more disciplined and thus less likely...
SRR ofcourse would have won the LHW championship if he hadn't collapsed from the heat. However, that was because he was outhustling Joey Maxim,...
I think it's fair to say for now that Broner is good, but not elite. After all, Cotto, Hatton and Khan all beat a younger and fresher Malignaggi...
That's supposed to mean something?
I was surprised that he didn't try to throw to the body more against Paulie to slow him down.
Again, where's the resumé to back up all the praise? Did Cotto snif anybody's top-10 when he beat a much younger and fresher Paulie. Maybe he did,...
