Pinklon Thomas -vs- Jack Sharkey:

Pinky off the coke, could dominate this fight with that Listonesque jab.

But, I think even at his best, Thomas would have issues going 15 rounds, so it would not be a walkover in the end.

Thomas to be winning comfortable after 12, but Sharkey to come on strong in the championship rounds against the tiring Pinky.

But still: Thomas WU15 (9-6)

 

Thomas, at his best, i believe would beat Sharkey with a consistent, fast jab. If he'd gotten a crack at Holmes' title, he might have ended up the greater fighter as well.

 

I like Sharkey to take a dec ,Thomas had a fine jab ,but it wasnt very quick,he had a hard right ,but again it wasnt speedy ,and he fought at a measured pace ,an "on" Sharkey could hustle a points win,imo.

 

great thread

 

Prime Pinklon kayoes Jack in about six rounds.

 

Thomas for sure.

 

Like people have already said, Thomas had a very good/great jab and very good boxing skills and movement.

Thomas clear but competitive UD.

 

Bit of irony in that statement.

 

Thomas was more consistent but on his best night Sharkey would be too much. Would outwork Thomas and take a close decision.

 

No pun intended.


Don't know how that one slipped through my mind...

 

It's an interesting match up as both fighters had good moments but neither lived up to their potential ... I simply think Sharkey was the much more well rounded fighter. He was a real craftsman and very tricky ... Thomas showed me little but a hard jab. His stamina was average, his right inconsistant. He had heart as we saw in the huge beating he took from Tyson. He also had a hell of a chin ... taking many bombs before being stopped ... I like Sharkey by decision ... outworking him and outskilling him ...

 

Pink.
