1. If Gene Tunney had not retired and fought the likes of Jack Sharkey and Max Schmeling, he would have 2 more losses on his record. 2. Gene Tunney should have been counted out in the rematch with Dempsey, 2 different ways. I'm not necessarily saying that the referee was in the tank for Tunney, but he sure did blow it. 3. Most Top Boxers have always used whatever PEDS were available at the times they competed, all the way back.

 

Didn't Pacquiao refuse to agree to the drug testing Mayweather demanded?

 

Hold on how does this make sense when Tarver lost the first fight

 

The 96 version of Holyfield would have beaten the 88 version of Tyson.
Carl Froch and Mikkel Kessler both KOs a prime Nigel Benn.

 

Oscar De La Hoya looks great in fishnets

 

I'd favour Froch over both Eubank and Benn..... and both fights would be incredible as well.

Froch v Benn would be sheer violence. I think Froch stops Benn late.

 

I had it draw and most though that Tarver won

 

• Muhammad Ali vs Rocky Marciano would have been VERY competitive (could go either way)
• 73-74 Foreman KO's 65-67 Ali
• 91 Tyson KO's 91 Holyfield
• Prime Douglas beats Prime Bowe
• Prime Barkley beats Prime Jones at 160
• Don King was a great asset to boxing history
• Floyd would have schooled Arguello at 130
• Broner gives Duran a tough fight at 147
• Usyk is a modern day Chris Byrd

 

Yes, he was willing to do drug testing at any time however Mayweather wanted to be able to take blood from Pacquiao every day up until the fight, and Pacquiao felt that this put him at a disadvantage due to blood loss fatigue. So he agreed to do blood testing three times, including within two weeks of the fight, and random urine testing. Due to this Mayweather announced that negotiations were ongoing but that even if they agreed on everything he wouldn't fight again in 2010 or in 2011.

 

As usual when an underdog performs much better than expected. On rewatch i thought Jones won but a close fight regardless

 

At age 34, how much could have RJJ possibly deteriorated to go from beating John Ruiz to losing to Tarver? It's just bizarre. And of course ignoring the steroids/what should be on the record and purely focusing on the fight Ruiz also lost to Toney. Is there any chance Ruiz was involved in fight fixing? I mean, the guy beat Rahman, Golota and arguably Valuev

 

Why would Broner,a mediocre at best welter give the guy who beat Leonard a tough fight?

 

This is probably the most interesting one I've heard. What's your reason why? I'm really curious

 

He didn't agree the same terms that he would later agree to in 2015. He said something like he was afraid of needles. Which is hilarious because he has tattoos on his body

 

Simple. His style is a defensive one. He wouldn't fight toe-to-toe with Duran like Leonard did in fight 1. Broner will look to counter punch & spoil for the whole fight, which would frustrate Duran. Broner won't win, but Duran will not look good in the fight IMO.
