The best at 140lbs

Who pissed in your cornflakes?

 

You forgot a lot of vital names, Manassa. Should've been more meticulous.

 

Yeah, where is Tsuyoshi Hamada, Manassa? Paul Fuji? FFS, no need to lead him off, you're obviously biased and/or unknowledgable.

Who wins out of these Asian ten stone fighters, those two Japs above and Muangsurin? Go on, and that Akinobu or whatever the **** his name was that did in a shot Rosario.

 

You're a wind up merchant.

 

This is very difficult to answer.

All of the best fighters in that weight region either didn't fight in that division or only fought there very briefly - Duran, Napoles, Whitaker.

Based on enough performances to actually prove quality in that actual weight class, I'm surprising myself by saying Meldrick Taylor, Julio Cesar Chavez and Aaron Pryor were the best. Tszyu was good too, but I'm a bit dubious about his standard of comp.

Taylor's performance vs Buddy McGirt, John Meekins and Chavez were evidence of a highly effective lww. Chavez was excellent there against Hector Camacho, Taylor, Roger Mayweather and Greg Haugen. Pryor hit those heights against Cervantes and Arguello.

If I had to choose one, I say Chavez.

Whats happening, champion? You still rattling those drumsticks like a prime, Keith Moon?

 

I'd favour Cervantes to KO Taylor, or at least take the fight on the cards, a few knockdowns along the way. Wouldn't be easy by any means, but he just had too efficient an offense and Taylor was too easy to hit. His jolting jab would be telling in making sure Taylor didn't simply rack up the points like he did against Chavez.

I think Taylor gives a lot of problems to a lot of guys, but he's particularly hard to favour over the punchers.

 

You know me, man! How ya been, anyway? You rarely even make an appearance around here anymore.

 

Do I know you......? Is this the same man, who I used to send a few cool PW avatars to?

 

Another, wind up merchant. They are out in force in this thread.

 

Yep. Taylor, spent far too much time watching his Philly comrade, Joe Frazier, in the Thrilla in Manila, rather than watching his Olympic team mate, Pernell Whitaker.

Taylor had the tools to be a terrific pure boxer with a solid defense. He had very solid mobility around the ring, combined with cat like reflexes. We all know about his combination punching and hanspeed. Just too much, Tiger, in him.

 

What do you think of my new one?
