Top Over Rated Fights - Fights that Count More than they Should.

Lewis vs Tyson
Pac vs Oscar
Floyd vs Zombie Pac

 

You are right. Yes. I agree to an extent. But, at the same time, I don't think Tommy could have fought another fight in the same way Ray could have because Tommy wanted to always knock the other guy out. Once Ray decided to box Duran he won relatively easily. As for Hearns. Had he been jab and move guy or even a jab and right hand guy with a occasional left to the body, he could have probably beaten Ray by decision in 1981, and the Hearns at 154 in 1982 would have been much harder for Ray to beat weight and that experience. But he always had to go for the knockout.. But yes Ray's win over Hearns was not the same as if he would have stopped him say in 1982 when Benitez fought him.

 

Told you didn't he!lol

 

I don’t know about told me but he’s got me f****** confused!!

 

Manny also said that Hearns’s legs were shot before the fight because Tommy’s buddies massaged them too hard pre fight.

Trainers say stuff, especially when their guy loses.

 

I disagree bud. Boxing is a mind game, Duran got in Leonards head which resulted in the tremendous fight we all got.

 

Thrilla....boring!? Tough man to please!

 

Why do you hate Ezzard?

 

I don't know I think making an ATG quit in the ring is very impressive regardless if what the circumstances are

 

Leonard was the one digging deep trying to survive. Ray says to this day nobody has ever hit him like Duran did. Duran was just being himself. He brought that intensity to all his big fights when he was in his prime. The difference being that he was showcasing it for a larger segment of people and the $ being bigger.

 

Tyson/Spinks has got to he the poster child for this thread.

 

Nah.

 

Outside of the top 40...
