Hypothetical Match Up Game

In fact i want to change that pick to Moon, he's not going nowhere and can slug with his man.

Keep the same fight that i posted for next up though, (cos Moon would defo beat Estaba)

 

Ahh it's winner stays on.

I personally think Moons wide-open style could see him take some punishment in this one. Don't think Khaosai has the variety of his Brother and would take even more. Moon late stoppage methinks.

What d'ya think of Napoles-Pavlik:hey

 

good

 

I'd have to say Pavlik to be honest Flea, it's just a strength thing. You can always look at how Napoles did against Monzon and how Pavlik didn't do against Hopkins and say Napoles is just too good but i don't know. I don't mind if someone does take that approach though, i could easily be swayed.

 

Haha, anyway, GALAXY-ESTABA!

 

I just think Napoles would beat the **** out of him early:goodHe has the chin to take any serious bombs and Pavlik lacks the accuracy/timing that Monzon had to tee up on Napoles (as Monzon almost was in the last round)

I just feel Luis Estaba would be a bit too small for Galaxy, who was a beastly super-fly.

Dunno what I've seen of Estaba actually, not much. But I wouldn't pick any/many light-flys over Khaosai to be honest. Maybe someone else can give a better indication of how the fight would go in terms of styles?!??!?

 

Yeah i've only seen the youtube fight and it's hardly a great chess match of a fight. Anyway i'll let someone else go next.

 

At picking or choosing a fight?

If mine counts as an answer;

B-Hop vs Marvin Johnson at Light-Heavy; could Hopkins deal with someone as aggressive as Johnson or could he ride out the early storm and pick the better shots as the fight moves on? 12 rounds:good

 

Yeah at picking, your answer counted mate defo. It's a real tough one, Hopkins is better overall for my money, but this guy is the real deal for strength and bringing the heat at a naturally better weight for him. I'll go for the controversial one and say Hopkins could be that ring general on the night and use the counter combos, the lead rights, and the impeccable defence to 'box-fight' to a decision.

I rate Hopkins so much, haha.

Tiger vs LaMotta!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

No I can definitely see that, though he'd have to be on his bike constantly for about five rounds and make sure his shots really counted, Johnson was not dissuaded unless faced with someone who would not wilt. Cotto-esque in that regard, fell to bits when faced with 'true' adversity (in terms of the opponent not backing down/walking through everything)

I feel Tiger is the better puncher. I think it comes down to that. What a war it would be, neither would be badly hurt IMO, they both have granite chins. Both Lamotta and Tiger are underrated at mid-range IMO, they set up their shots well, although Tiger is more of a 'composite' puncher IMO (as demonstrated by the footage My2Sense posted up a few months back)

An absolute war, Tiger wins 9-6 IMO.

Alfonso Zamora vs Sung Kil Moon;exciting Bantamweight matchup IMO.

 

Nice post. And on them being underrated at mid range, well they are both good counter punchers, Tiger as a style, like waiting for the moment to start throwing heavy leather, and LaMotta was very good at exploding with bunches of well placed body shots when a guy advanced, it's very clever.

What a fight this bantam one is, Again i just reckon Moon can deal with the power, though this is ****ing amazing power, he could land on his man himself. Moon in the later rounds imo.

Holyfield-Dempsey

 

I think Moon late.

Holy has the chin. Although I've seen Dempsey floored, I think Holy wins a war on points, due to being more refined. WHAT A FIGHT!

 

Pretty much how I see that one going. How about George Chuvalo v Tex Cobb ?

 

Cjiuvalo would beat up Cobb just a better fighter and he wouldnt get tired of hitting Cobb either. Chuvalo by very convincing decision.

Lupe Pintor vs Rafeal Marquez at 118

 

Pintor destroys Marquez. Different class.

Saad Muhammad vs Victor Galindez
