The battle of the jabs :happy Their style is so similar I always think of Archer when disscusing Oscar chances back then. Who wins this fight ? Oscar's jab+left hook or Archer's jab + straight right??? Joey Archer vs. Denny Moyer [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h25HcN7zFQA[/ame] By the way, listen what the dude says about Archer, a real throwback, well skilled hahah I guess this is the boxings equivalent of society's omnipresent kid's have no manners today Oscar de la Hoya vs Julio Cesar Chavez [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wX0c3v2D5ZQ&feature=related[/ame] What do you think???
Archer was "old school savvy"..and was another like my man Jimmy Young, in not being lucky enough to win a title, despite having apparently done so (Joey deserved at least one of those two Griffith fights). He would have outthought and outboxed..outwitted..out everythinged Oscar, in my humble opinion..but it wouldn't have been outside the realm of possibility that he would have been screwed over against the "Golden Boy" as well..he would have had to have won big..I think he would have.
Joey would take this pretty clearly, Joey beat Dick Tiger,Hurricane Carter,etc. during this time and I feel beat Griffith in fight 1 and should have had a title, Archer UD ODH
