duran went on to win the middleweight title hearns went not only went on to to be a middleweight champ, but a super mid champ and a light heavyweight champ. hearns, duran, and leonard are genuine atgs pavlik, tarver, johnson are genuine hype jobs de la hoya, trinidad, and wright had no business at fighting hopkins at the weight they did you see the difference techs? :think
head banger. so pavlik barrera johnson tito hatton de la hoya taylor were as good after they fought pac or b hop as they were b 4 they fought them ?
what an honour it is to receive glowing praise from elite esb titan bailey :deal i am truely humbled by the presence of esb's finest big fight predictor on this thread atschatschatschatschatsch
i don't like that your hating a B. Hop, but I must say that dude is right about "hearns, duran, and leonard are genuine atgs". But **** what you say DLH and Trinidad where still beast at Middleweight. Wright most def didn't belong at lightweight.
pavlik is a complete hype job who went up 2 weights to fight borenard johnson has been a c-level gate keeper all his life - 14 losses, 2 draws :rofl taylor is a hypejob who kicked borenards ass twice anyway tito is a welterweight who fought hopkins on foreign soil at middleweight and delusional morons rate that win because tito beat a muppett like joppy :rofl de la hoya as a middleweight barrera is an ATG who had had too many wars by that time anyway :deal
:huhAnyway....... De la Hoya was most definitely not a ''beast'' at Middleweight. A dubious decision against Sturm highlights that.
All good in the post except I take issue with Taylor being a hypejob. Yes, he was hyped by HBO but all fighters are. Taylor had balls and one ingredient short of being a fabulous fighter.
watching him even at this age is ridiculous. dude trains like nothing ive seen before and he is an old man. literally. just straight up rediculous. he gets mad respect. to answer the question i would say probably trinidad but he beat glen johnson up. he has had so many great performances. its crazy to think he lost his first fight.
Without a doubt, his single best performance where he displayed his full arsenal was the Tito fight. In-fighting, out-fighting, defense, offense, power, countering, ring generalship, combination punching, ability to take a shot, ability to control range. Just complete mastery of Tito.
