Pipino was underrated. Mainly remembered for brutal Hearn ko loss but people don't realize he was burnt out like other boxing prodigy Tyson. Pipino turned pro at 14 and world champion at 18 and had made 11 title defenses in 4 years at time of Hearns fight. Andy the Hawk Price who fought Pipino and Sugar Ray Leonard said Pipino was his toughest opponent. Outside Hearns Pipino was one of the hardest hitting ww ever and his style in prime was to destroy anyone in front of him and he threw nothing but bombs . Brown was a slow starter and and Brown would make mistake of trading with Pipino. Pipino by ko in 4. Pipino was known for destroying speed bags that's how hard he hit. This content is protected
Fergy keep the threads going you do a great job of upholding the values of a Boxing purist and traditionalist.
I got a chance to see Cuevas defend his title in Sacramento against Pete Ranzany {a solid figter} at Hughes Stadium. He was devastating when he connected. In this matchup two good punchers. Simon may be the better boxer between the two. I`d slightly lean towards Brown but I wouldn't bet on it. I think he throws tighter, shorter punches.
