I probably have him top 10 p4p, but I still have to say Duran. There are just so many making excuses for his losses. Most fighters have one or two making excuses for every loss they had, but Duran has about a dozen regulars here doing it. So he belongs here.
Damn. I really wanted to disagree with you here, but I suppose you might be right. I think that with anyone in the "generally recognized" p4p lists, there is a tendancy to make deities of them. I think you could substitute the names of most of them and still be right.
That's big enough? Hard for me to tell, I'm on the phone. That there would make for a nice t-shirt. :deal
Works fine for what I need. It'll end up on the wall with the other 1/4 size posters (there are just way too many to hang them full size). My graphics program can sharpen it enough to do the blow up. Thanks again!
Roy Jones Jr. Flashy & athletic but bad fundamentals, was content on fighting weak competition when he was in his prime (IIRC he once wrote a letter to some sanctioning body about how Tarver didn't deserve to fight him) & by the time he stepped up he was past it. People love flashy stuff & so he gets more credit than he deserves. I never could understand what Roy was thinking when he didn't bother with guys he should have fought in his prime but wanted to fight them once he was past his prime & predictably lost. I think he could have beat most of them easily in his prime but Boxing is not about what could, would, or should have happened but what did actually happen.
I hear ya man. Same as that Ali and joe louis, theres only about 90 fights of them both and everyones giving it loads about them
