    I think Orisha knows his ****, I just dont like him hiding behind some false pretense for why he creates his threads.

    You are an idiot to compare a former welterweights left hook to Bob Foster's. Tito wasnt a one punch hitter at middleweight, at 170 it will be 23 pounds over his start weight.

    I have to admit that you and me are probably the only ones here that understood the toughness of this era on the boxers I IDENTIFY FROM 74 TO 85...your analysis of the way the fight would go are very similar to mine, but I had a few extra ones gicing RJJ a run for his money:

    RJJ beats:

    Conteh
    Rossman
    Saad Muhammad

    We both have similar reasons of why, it is preatty obvious at least for bothof us...

    Now I have RJJ in Pick'n fights against:

    Mate Parlow
    Marvin Jophnson
    Eddie Mustafa Muhammad
    Yaqui Lopez

    RJJ at disadvantage:

    Michael Spinks
    Dwight Qawi
    Galindez

    For what I see other than Galindez we agree on everything else....

    Now I will say once again that Conteh and Rossman as as good of a puncher chance as anybody...

    Now I will say that if Tito can come up with the smae pressure and 1-2 combo that Glencoffe use the entire night , he might have a chance....

    Even though I am not enthusiatic aboutthis fight, I will not go against Tito, even though I know it willbe an uphill battle for him to win....but bigger upsets have happened

    ...and as expect there you are talking **** and doing nothing.....:patsch

    anybody can said this guy or that guy, the hard part is to explain the why, and that takes to know the styles and how they faired agaisnt similar styles...which he did nothing about and neither did you....Punk..:good

    And anyone can downplay someone's skills and use the latter part of someone's career to prove something when they try hard enough. :deal

    All you have done the past three days is talk ****. Oh and toss around insults like a petulant baby who can't get his way.

    Conteh had a chance, but Jones slightly did everything better. IMO Galindez wouldnt pose that much a problem. He cut in fights, he had underrated skills but slick boxers gave him trouble and none came slicker than Jones at lightheavyweight. Galindez' pressure and strength will trouble Jones but his foot speed and handspeed would be the difference. Like I said before Spinks and Qawi are the only ones I can definitely see beating Jones. Good show pimp.:good We havent debated in a while because of my hiatus but you still know yo stuff.

    Bob Foster wasnt in that era. The era started after he retired. If they did fight though I have to go with Jones. Both dominated average eras during there reign but there dominance over good fighters illustrated their greatness. Although standing 6'3" he didnt fight tall like your basic 1, 2 lanky kayo artist. He liked to mix it up inside and mid range. His foot speed left much to be desired and Foster was troubled by more skilled, faster movers. Neither guy had a great chin and could be hurt but Foster packed the far harder one-punch power. Jones had the skill to outslick Foster and avoid the big bombs. IMO Jones beats Foster. Foster struggled with good fighters with boxing skills, I dont think he'd beat this great fighter with great boxing skills. His unorthodox style would take Foster some time to figure out and he'd already be behind on points only way Foster wins is by Kayo and I dont see him knocking out a prime Jones. Jones UD.

    Foster wouldnt be fighting 35 year old Jones he'd be fighting in his prime. Yes Foster hits way harder but u cant kayo what you cant hit and a prime Jones wont be there against the ropes to be hit.
