Fighters and period they looked unbeatable..

odlh

 

I would say Jones in the mid-90s, when he was at 168. Tough to beat a guy you can't hit, and one who hits you repeatedly with power.

No one is unbeatable, but there's no fighter I'd favor over Roy during his prime at 168.

 

No matter what anyone says to me, i saw it with my own eyes many times btw, and that was JLC beat him the first time around.... And the formula is there, someone has to go ahead and execute though. I dunno 100% if Hatton can do it, but im 100% sure Cotto can.

 

Well thats like saying no one can beat me at Peacock peanut *******. What? You never heard of Peacock peanut *******? Its this game thats part of boxing but is relatively new to boxing, and since its only really been around since the 80's theres no real way of comparing other fighters that never had a chance to compete in it....

My point is that it wasnt until 1984 really that the SMW division was on the map, so thats like 23 yrs of history, in other words, not much substants there.

 

Ricardo Lopez looked unbeatable at 105 - and he was. Too bad he never really got much exposure.

 

If I remember correctly, Foreman was supposed easily KTFO Ali, if not maim him. A good point was made about Frazier and Norton. Frazier was a big favorite going into the Foreman bout, and he was bounced around the ring man verses boy style, Incredible! Then Norton, fresh off busting Ali's jaw, same thing happened, bounced around the ring like a manikin. Think about it, Frazier and then Norton. Not to down play Tyson in the late 80's, but compare his opponents in his hey day to Frazier and Norton. An old Holmes, Michael Spinks, Hell Bonehugger Smith and Tony Tucker took him the distance. Amazing that Ali beat George, whenever I watch it again and again I still think Ali's gonna lose.

Liston was also considered unbeatable and hugely favored over Ali in their first fight. We all know what happened that day.

If nothing else, in retrospect, Alis self proclaimed "The Greatest" is sometimes hard to argue with.

If nothing elso

 

How has no one mentioned Hagler in the early and mid 80s? Or Duran in the 70s when he won something like 30 straight fights at lightweight.
