    You make a good case for Michalczewski vs Hill, and have a good point. However, I wouldn't change its placing if I rewrote the list. I see where you're coming from, but I don't fully agree. Yes, the Hill who fought Michalczewski was a better version, but a 4th round single-shot KO has to rank higher than a points win which may have been clear, but was not an emphatic beatdown or complete outclassing/domination. I take your point though mate.

    I disagree a little more strongly over Chavez-Taylor though. Before this fight, Taylor was rated as the best fighter to come out of the great US '84 Olympic team, even better than Holyfield or Whitaker. And I've seen his win over Buddy McGirt in '88 - he was the real deal IMO. A flawed but still superb fighter. And I maintain that Chavez deserves a B+, he produced one of the most subtle and overlooked beatings in boxing history. Don't get me wrong, I had Taylor well ahead on points, but Chavez did more damage over the course of the fight. Taylor had gradually been ground down to a wounded animal by the beginning of the final round. If you watch the fight again and pay close attention to the work done by JCC, you will see many hard and accurate shots making their way through Taylor's blizzards of punches. His punch resilience, his composure, his accuracy, and his ability to pick the right shots at the right time were just remarkable. I personally do not view the stoppage as controversial at all, that's my own opinion on it - if a guy twice fails to respond when asked if he is OK, then the referee waves it off, to me that's just an automatic must. And perhaps my judgement on the performance is coloured a little by the fact that I'm a staunch advocate of a return to the full 15 round championship distance - and if this was a 15-round fight (like it should have been and all fights should be IMO) Chavez would've scored a crushing 13th round KO for sure, a win of Arguello-esque magnificence!

    Anyway, thank you very much for your insights, good points. :good

    3 or 4 posts from you now on this thread...

    ZERO boxing analysis in addressing the thread-subject...

    Just your usual anti-American borderline racist xenophobic hatred this time directed towards James Toney...


    Looks like you have learnt your lesson - don't **** with the big boys of this forum when it comes to serious boxing chat, just stay in your little fanboy troll bubble with your fellow gimps, spewing out emoticons and recycled regurgitated ancient jokes.

    You're a joke. A nothing. The very definition of a troll. :smoke

    read the list (mostly..did skip one or two) when it was first posted. 1)it's very ambitious 2)it's very well done. it's an incredibly tough task and you're bound to miss a couple but overall it's fantastic. the top 10 especially, even if i don't agree, your explanations are very solid

    I don`t really think either DLH or Pea deserved the W in that fight, Oscar was too inefective & Pea just didn`t do anywhere near enough offensively.

    A draw is the fairest result in that one IMO... of course I wont grudge either man a close win (the judges were way off even if you thought Oscar won, no doubt) but if Pea did get that win... I think the performance in the Chavez fight was so much more impressive than in the DLH fight that it would still rank higher despite the 93 Whitaker being a fair bit better than the 97 Whitaker.

    The way he neutralized a genuinely brilliant ATG fighter in Chavez was just sheer mastery, he showed defence, offence, ring generalship & dominated rds 3, 7 & 8 superbly.... he only really showed defensive mastery vs Oscar but still, no-one expected that performance from a 33 yr old Pea.

    The Chavez win for me.

    :good

    agree. for atg status of the opponent and the quality of performance, the chavez "win" is better than an oscar win

    Yeah, I agree actually. The Oscar win would have been a greater achievement IMO, but the Chavez win would still be a better win because Pea's performance was sublime.

    Hey Popkins it hurts to mention this cause I'm a Terry Norris nuthugger but was there a reason why you didn't include Simon Brown's win over Norris in their first fight?

    Two inbred brothers giving each other a mutual cyberwank. Thoroughly repulsive troll-like behaviour. :dead

    Braindeads like you two are killing the reputation of this forum, you know. It's documented on other boxing websites. You're notorious cyberscum morons. Congrats.
