I think frazier loses to foreman, louis, tyson, bowe, lewis, holmes and wlad. Maybe a couple others I can't remember. Conn had a great career but his defining fight was a loss. I think jones beats him on points. Robinson consistently lost after coming back from retirement. Darcy never had that chance. Pea can fight for the full distance and has enough pop and angle to catch anyone off balance. I can't see anyone beating pea at lw. Fenech I discussed in an above post. Flyweight is far deeper than most boxing fans realise. Harada is as good a shout as any.
HW: Muhammad Ali LHW: Ezzard Charles MW: Ray Robinson WW: Ray Robinson LW: Pernell Whitaker/Roberto Duran FW: Willie Pep Don`t know enough about the smaller weights overall & can`t choose between Duran & Whitaker.
For those interested I typed out the following which gives the viewpoints of the different people involved:
Whole fight is on youtube bud (this is the earliest footage of Duran I have ever seen personally): [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0SiIaFFW_Y"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0SiIaFFW_Y[/ame] [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkBSTnVYJGA"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkBSTnVYJGA[/ame] [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zbNRZrwqlc"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zbNRZrwqlc[/ame]
It's a great watch as well that one. If Marcel got chucked out for that (!) Andre Dirrell should get DQ'd every fight he's in. I don't think Marcel was too bad towards the end. I had Duran up by a point or so. Both would go on to be brilliant fighters.
Yes. Duran came along at the perfect time. They were pretty solid about getting all these fights filmed when he exploded onto the scene.
