Rank these fighters in order - Arguello, Lewis, Hearns, DLH.

You disagree because of your man love for Oscar. Everytime Oscar stepped up to fight the best he lost. Oscars skills? You mean shoe shinning? Not knowing how to throw a right hand? Having little head movement? Coming forward in straight lines? Running for dear life against Tito?

Lewis proved himself the best man against everyone he faced, none of the other 3 can say the same. Hearns has the excuse that they were some of the greatest ever.

 

atsch:--lol: Like i said deluted.

I didnt know you were into big blackmen with dreads

Lost well we know that he was robbed a couple times and dont tell me about any gifts he got only one against Sturm and that was still close

Whittaker controversialatsch Puuuulease Quartey was closer but i had Oscar ahead by one.
Oscars only true losses in his prime were to Mosley I(very Close) and Hopkins an ATG whos was clearly the much bigger man. Remember Oscar started out at JL so dont act like all those titles werent much of an accomplishment and was still able to fight at an elite level up to JM.

Hearns,Dlh,and Arguello would knock Lewis stiff if they were in the same division.
You also overrate Lewis competition.

 

I don't get this 'in the same division' it's pure speculation.

In the same division Lewis would still be massive for the weight (even if we even it out) and have massive power, intelligence etc etc

I don't rank based on 'in the same division' or use it to back up points myself.

I personally have it

Arguello-25-30
Hearns-31-35
lewis-50-60
Oscar-60-70

Which I believe to be quite fair

 

LMAO at the Oscarsexuals who want to give him the Tito and Mosley 2 fights, yet ignore he got outboxed in the Whitaker, Quartey fights. I think Mosley could go either way and have scored it to both men on seperate occasions. Whitaker/Quartey I see no justiication, he got outboxed clearly in too many rounds. You'll never accept thatbecause your an Oscarsexual

If Lennox was a WW he would be far faster and have far more stamina, while keeping his power, massive P4P power. In actual fact Lennox has faster hands than Arguello despite being a HW
You even try to ignore the fact that Sturm beat him atsch

 

I agree that Lewis would still be a big welter id say probably a 5-11 to 6-0 and still possess the big right hand and still possess the mediocre(at best chin)
This is why i always say how overrated Lewis is. In fact he is probably the only modern day fighter who is overrated on the Classic forum. I think its all the brits being biased.

Yet many of you underrated DLH,PAC,MOsley,mayw,Hopk,Jones,Tyson,Holy etc etcetc. Just biasness against american fighters

I will admit that the Mexican fighthers get their just due here(except Chavez and LOpez who are underrated)

 

Man i can see that you dont know how to judge boxing matches. . So i see you have a selective reading problem i did mention that i thought Sturm won by 2 points but it was close. It wasnt a robbery like the ones that were taken from him.
Why is it that all the closet homos come off the wall about fans "Being Gay for fighters they back up:huh
I dont think of **** like that when i watch boxing bro.

What about you:think

 

You also said he only lost in his prime to Hopkins and Mosley1, ignoring his recorded losses and ignoring his gifts, thats the most blatant of bias. At least be fair, if your going to erase Mosley 2/Tito you have to say he lost some from whitaker/quartey/sturm. Allot of people had him losing those fights. I dont dispute Oscar beat Tito and maybe Mosley2 (although that was close and Mosley punches were more effective)

 

1. Thomas Hearns
2. Lennox Lewis
3. Oscar De La Hoya
4. Alexis Arguello

You all know this, but its cool to downplay the career of the man who anniahlated Duran, cool to downplay the career of the man that beat favourites Holy and Tyson, cool to downplay the career of the guy that wore fishnets and high heels. And cool to overate Arguello because he's a more obscure name and he's dead now.

Its a two way street anarci my good pal.

You cant deny your bias for:

A. Fighters of Mexican heritage
B. Fighters from the West coast of your fine country.
C. Fighters you have personally met.

I mean you were prepared to call John Conteh overrated by this forum when you admitted you had only seen one fight of his.

Just saying is all

P.S

I dont know where this feeling of Chavez underration comes from...I thought he gets plenty of love around here. I may be wrong, he is one of my favs though.
Id be interested to know the examples of him being underrated..cause your not the first to make that call anarci.

Lopez?...well I aint going through that again with you. Thats in the agree to disagree pile.

 

atsch

Jesus.

 

The Brits don't overrate him. Its the Yanks who first turned me onto Lewis:good

 

Arguello

Hearns

Lewis

De La Hoya

and the final two are very close.

 

Yes, the guy who took part in some of the biggest/best fights of the '80s is "obscure." :nut

 

nut:nut"durrrrr my names My2Sense and i have the sense to take a quote out of context to help with my argument durrrrrrr"nut:nut

He is more obscure, than Hearns, De La Hoya and Lewis.
