Prime Tony Ayala vs Gene Fullmer

Fullmer KO 3 Ayala. There is nothing more tailormade for Gene than an undersized fighter(ask basillio and paret).

 

Fullmer within a few rounds. Ayala was hurt badly by the likes of Mario Maldonado. He'd get schooled and smashed to pieces by Fullmer. Take it easy there, chum.

 

I thought you asked for our opinions? Why make the thread if were not going to give you the answer you want to hear?



:finger

 

Fullmer in a crowd pleasing brawl wears Ayala down in about 7-8 rounds or so.

 

Late 90's imposter??

Ayala always was an imposter.A myth created by the Duva's and blown out of proportion by his persona and imprisonment.

He keeps getting matched in these fantasy fights with proven,battle hardened warriors based on some knockouts of journeymen and outright hacks and an overrated sparring session with Cuevas.

Even worse is that people like you reckon he beats a real man like Fullmer.

Based on what evidence?

He never even got around to fighting second tier guys let alone the elite so we have no way of knowing how his career would have even progressed once he fought someone who regularly hit him back.

What's to say he wouldn't have been destroyed and ruined by a Hearns,McCallum or Duran when he stepped up in class? It's happened before and since and likely would've happened to Ayala imo.

Ayala gets far too much attention for his scant achievments even if you buy into his supposed "potential".

Oh and Fullmer would've flogged the crap out of him by 5th round stoppage.

 

I know Fullmer was a very strong and thick mw, but Ayala was big and strong too, Ayala was bigger than Basillo and Paret, he was a physically strong MW when he came back.

 

Rooster just being like You and El Bujia were with me about the Saddler and Pep coversation :finger

 

This thread bothers me as much as a Valero VS Duran thread would, Rooster.

 

You know I don't have a problem with this result, though, given Fullmer's toughness, it might last a bit longer. Still, I can't see too many people lasting against Tony's billyclub-like whacks.
Why so many of these posters are so dismissive of El Torito simply blows my mind. The writing was on the wall, yet they still refuse to see. Bias at its worst.

 

Fullmer batters Ayala to the canvas like against Paret, although Ayala might not last the beating for as long.
