Another survey for you boxing lovers - 10 questions

1. Did Tarver have Roy's number, or did he just get to him at the right time? Got him at the right time

2. No. 1 "Could Have been great" fighter of all time? Riddick Bowe could've been one of the greatest heavyweights ever with more dedication

3. SRR at #1 on the vast majority of ATG lists - "safe pick" or deserves to be there? Deserves to be there, but Greb, Langford, and Armstrong have cases as well

4. The Klits in the 90s - champs or bums? Champs

5. Did Oscar take a dive vs Hopkins? Yes

6. Hits harder: Anne Wolfe or Paulie Malignaggi? (seriously) Ann Wolfe hits much harder

7. Immediate De La Hoya-Trinidad re-match: who woulda won? De La Hoya

8. Is Sergio Martinez overrated? No. He's clearly the best right now at middleweight and one of the best fighters in the world. He's only overrated by those who think he stacks up well against all-time great middleweights. He'd be a good middleweight in much better eras.

1. Did Tarver have Roy's number, or did he just get to him at the right time? Got Jones Jr. at the right time.

2. No. 1 "Could Have been great" fighter of all time? Donald Curry. I beleve for a very short time he was the #1 Pound for Pound.

3. SRR at #1 on the vast majority of ATG lists - "safe pick" or deserves to be there? Safe Pick. Too many excues are made for losses that someone of his ability should not have had. Robinson is grded on a lower standered than everyone else.

4. The Klits in the 90s - champs or bums? Champs, Bowe, Lewis, Holyfield and Tyson would have been champs too.

5. Did Oscar take a dive vs Hopkins? No

6. Hits harder: Anne Wolfe or Paulie Malignaggi? (seriously) I don't know I'm tempted to say Wolfe, but I wouldn't give Malignaggi a free shot at me.

7. Immediate De La Hoya-Trinidad re-match: who woulda won? De La Hoya

8. Is Sergio Martinez overrated? I'm not wowed by his talent/skills/ability, but he's beating some very good oppoents. I don't like him in atg head to head fanasty fights, but all things considerd I have to say no.

9. Frazier still resentful towards Ali - should he be? No, they don't have to be best friends, but it's time to move on.

10. High risk, low reward GOAT? Not sure what your asking.

My answers above in red.

 

Nice thread, bad ass questions bro :good

1. Did Tarver have Roy's number, or did he just get to him at the right time? Well it seems like Tarver really studied Roy, and gave him a hard fight the first time around, so idk, that fight would've been interesting in '97-'99
2. No. 1 "Could Have been great" fighter of all time? IKE IBEABUCHI

3. SRR at #1 on the vast majority of ATG lists - "safe pick" or deserves to be there? well i know things were different back then, but look at how SRR fights, and how fighter's fight these days (very similiar) and look at SRR's opponents and look at the fighters these days, SRR was ahead of his time, he was playing chess and his opponents were playing tic-tac-toe

4. The Klits in the 90s - champs or bums? really can't say, but look at the Lennox-Klitchko fight, if thats any indication, and also, a prime Tyson vs. either brother would be intersting, but thats an over-played out scenario anyways

5. Did Oscar take a dive vs Hopkins? NO. well placed live shot :deal

6. Hits harder: Anne Wolfe or Paulie Malignaggi? (seriously) I don't wanna disrespect Malignaggi

7. Immediate De La Hoya-Trinidad re-match: who woulda won? Trinidad, DLH was back-peddling for a reason

8. Is Sergio Martinez overrated? NO. he KOed a guy who's never even been off his feet before in a fight (except against him) get robbed against Cintron, and stopped a fighter who'd never been off his feet and dropped him 5 times.

9. Frazier still resentful towards Ali - should he be? Not really, Ali was selling a fight, and has since apologized

10. High risk, low reward GOAT? Aaron Pryor probably
