I've been trying to work out W. Klitschko's best recent run of 8 and row and it's tight to work out. Mormeck Haye Peter Chambers Chagaev Rahman Thompson Ibragimov Brewster Austin Brock Bryd Peter I think I'm sticking with the ones bolded. Although it could have also been Haye Peter Chambers Chagaev Rahman Thompson Ibragimov Brewster Which is a close second. Even though the first one has the garbage Austin in it I think it just nicks it due to prime Peter and Byrd. Also an underrated one from Zach Page with the ones in bold having gone on to achieve things or on the cusp of doing so. Pulev Seth Mitchell Sebastian Koeber Derric Rossy Yoan Pablo Hernandez Kevin McBride Juan Carlos Gomez Luis Ortiz
B-Hops run not bad either. Dawson x2 Pascal x2 Jones Jnr Ornalas Pavlik Calzaghe Wright Tarver Taylor x2 Eastman De La Hoya W8 1D L4 and 1NC
Mitchell is dross though. He's getting hype now because he's Golden Boy's heavyweight, but that's it.
Agreed. That was horrible. It reminds me of when Ray Leonard went from his 147 max weigh-in against Green, then came in at 145 against Duran. Duran beat a very weight-drained fighter, despite the fact that no catchweight was asked for. Leonard was much larger than Cotto, so he must have been almost dead. How he went fifteen rounds, I'll simply never know.
if you include losses, then bhop surpasses froch imo. when you're just comparing names and not the actual results or performances. bhop has taylor x2 Tarver - now a title holder winky Calzaghe pavlik ornelas - this was a tune up after a long lay off for old man roy jones jnr jean pascal x2 chad dawson x2
Very unfair on Pac there Ice. The OP did mention fights that weren't easy on paper so in this case it's irrelevant how easy they were in reality Diaz-Okay, fair enough you're right. Oscar. Pac was a heavy underdog and it was only after the fight that people started the weight drained talk. Good fight on paper. No scratch that. Awful fight on paper since Pac was supposed to get knocked out from the first left hand that landed. Hatton-Again, on paper he was the number one 140lb fighter. Coming off win against Paulie. Cotto- weighed 146 for his previous fight. He only had to lose one more pound to make 145. Clottey-Solid win against a good fighter. No worse than Pascal, Abraham or Johnson wins. Margarito-Same old Margarito we saw in the first Cotto fight. No noticeable loss of speed, agression, stamina, still able to take plenty of punishment. Always been a human punch bag, even when in his so called prime. Maybe there was something else missing though Mosley-fair enough, you're correct. JMM-The OP stated results don't matter. It's about quality of opponents regardless of results, so it's irrelevant.
Yes and no.....the names are great, the terms and timing are even better....for Pac that is :thumbsup
I don't think that its unfair at all, its no criticism of Pac, he obviously has a great promotional team behind him.
Lol @ Judah being in Floyd's last 8 fights! That was in 2006 wasn't it? ****ing years ago! God i hate his inactivity.
Lewis had a load of good 8 fight streaks- V. Klitshcko M. Tyson H. Rahman H. Rahman D. Tua F. Both M. Grant E. Holyfield T. Morrison R. Mercer O. McCall H. Akinwande A. Golota S. Briggs Z. Marvovic E. Holyfield Or Evander run of R. Bowe A. Stewart R. Bowe II M. Moorer R. Mercer R. Bowe B. Czyz M. Tyson
Forchy is 3 and 3 at the moment against A Level guys- If he wins a rematch against Kessler then rights winner of Ward/ Dawson and wins that he is surely in the HOF.
Price being made Tyson Fury's mandatory caused an 8-inch streak in Tyson's underpants. Does that count?
