Unpopular opinions

I think that 65-67 Ali wasn't as physically strong, nor had the game plan to beat Prime Foreman. Ali was primarily a stick & mover in his prime & Foreman was excellent at cutting off the ring. Ali in his prime had never faced anyone that could cut off the ring from him, so this would be new for him.

Because of this he would be forced to fight at a faster pace than he anticipated - meaning that he'd have to fight more, & an early exchange with Foreman could be lethal. I see Foreman winning via KO/TKO in 10. However, I do acknowledge that Ali's style would always be tough for Foreman & it wouldn't be easy for him.

 

You are a funny guy. Thanks for the entertainment.

 

Never mind unpopular opinions, some of them are enough to have you inducted into a mental asylum

 

A very flawed defensive one.
He gets hit a lot.virtually everybody at welter put a glove on him.
Duran would destroy him IMO.

 

Probably most unpopular opinions are that I think prime for prime Floyd loses to Pacquiao and Arguello.

Mildly unpopular, Usyk has proven without doubt to me that the HWs of yesteryear could still compete in the division.

Also mildly unpopular is that the likes of Joe Gans and Benny Leonard are just as good as any of the P4P stars today, if not better.

And not unpopular, but slightly divisive, Tyson really was the baddest man on the planet.

 

Duran would maidana broner x10

 

If a disliked fighter such as Floyd was in a superfight and fought like SRL did against Hagler they'd be getting ridiculed daily for their gameplan for the rest of time.

 

"On July 8, 2011, ESPN reported that Pacquiao was willing to agree to random drug testing—but not by USADA. "We have agreed in the Pacquiao camp to unlimited random testing done by a responsible, neutral organization," Arum told Yahoo!. "We don't believe USADA is a neutral organization. I don't think anybody's test is as vigorous as the test administered by the Olympic Organization. And we can arrange for the Olympic Organization to handle the test under the supervision of the Athletic commission respective of the state where the fight is going to be held."[41] However, the following day, Pacquiao's top adviser, Michael Koncz, stated that Pacquiao had never agreed to testing all the way up to fight day. "Will we give blood five days, seven days before the fight? You know, that's something I have to talk to Manny about, but we have nothing to hide," Koncz said.[42]"

"Not long after declaring that the fight was off, Arum had a change of heart and offered Mayweather a 24-hour take-it-or-leave-it deadline to accept Team Pacquiao's terms for drug testing. Top Rank sent out a press release explaining their position on Mayweather's request for random Olympic-style drug testing. In it, Arum said Pacquiao was willing to submit to as many random urine tests requested, but as far as random blood tests were concerned, he was only willing to subject himself to three tests: one in January, one 30 days from the bout (no later than February 13) and immediately after the fight. "Let's be very clear on the real issues we differ on. It's not about being tested ... It's about who does the testing and the scheduling of the procedures ... The United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) cannot do it because they will not amend its procedures to accommodate the blood testing schedule we have outlined. USADA, under its guidelines, would have the right to administer random blood tests as many times as they want up to weigh-in day and that is ludicrous," Arum explained.[28] Freddie Roach told Lance Pugmire of the Los Angeles Times on December 22, 2009, that he would prefer for Pacquiao to give his final blood sample a week before the bout and no later than 72 hours before."

Make of it what you will, but not because he was afraid of needles.

 

Fury toys with him before shutting his lights out like against Whyte

 

This actually wouldn't be a suprise

 

No no no no no!

Duran would have mangled Broner.

 

Lennox Lewis ends the Fury meme.

 

Duran mangles any LW in history. That includes Mayweather
