Unpopular opinions

Marciano had more effective footwork than Ali.

 

Curiously Liston dropped Iron Johnson (who also said Liston hit harder) while your boyfriend failed to do so. :think

 

Vitali would have beaten Lewis had they fought again. Maybe even prime for prime.

The really early boxing champions often just sucked.

If Sanders had managed to get the fights that mattered and if he'd trained like he meant it, he could have been great

An MMA fighter > a boxer with no cross-training

 

Marco Antonio Barrera is overrated h2h

 

Françoise Hardy you classless peasants.

 

James Shuler would've beaten Alex Ramos and Juan Roldan, in addition to Mike McCallum and Roberto Duran.

 

Nice one. (I disagree with McCallum and can't call Roldan though)

 

lol theres some shockers in here...

 

Vitali deserves lots of credit for beating Solis. Solis was legitimately very good at that point, and Vitali legitimately knocked him down leading to the injury. It was a legitimate win that belongs on the long list of heavyweight match ups where good fighters got stopped early. Same with Wilder-Scott, except Solis was better than Scott

 

Duran and Shane Mosley at 147. What's the difference?

 

Terry Norris would have beaten any version of Sugar Ray Leonard.

 

That's not an opinion, that's a question. And the answer is Duran was more skilled over all, especially on the inside, and had far better defense.

 

You used a comma instead of a period or semicolon on that opening sentence.

 

wtf???

You came to a boxing site to provide grammar lessons, maybe you need to re-evaluate your life.

But if the implication is that you're more educated than I am well that's possible, but not very likely.

 

You started the condescending bs, so can it. Btw, you just wrote another two sentences with a comma in the middle instead of a period.

My point is, Mosley and Duran were gifted aggressive fighters at 147, each of whom looked amazing at the right time, but then folded later to good boxers. That includes 154 too. I think they'd get similar, not identical, results if they switched opponents.
