    cory spinks is a handsome devil.
    mike tyson is perfectly sane(for the past 10+ years)
    corrales is not hof material(i hate myself for this)
    de la hoya pulled his punches against pac.
    vernon forrest couldve been the best welter of the last 20 years(if mayorga never existed and shoulder injury never happened)
    the contender was a good concept

    Canelo vs Floyd & Bivol was competitive. He won 3-4 rounds against both & looked good in spots. Both men had to work for their victory against Canelo...

    Wlad v Fury was a fascinating fight. Style wise. Think I'm in a minority of 1 on that.

    Floyd didn't create the boxing culture that's obsessed with undefeated records, boxing fans as a collective- we did!

    The boxer who really has a gripe against the scoring is Pacman not JMM. Manny got the nod as the A side in some close fights which happens in boxing. However Burt Clemente couldn’t add so Pacman was robbed of a decision victory in the first fight.

    Judge Burt Clements later conceded too. "It used to be that a three-knockdown round was 10-7," Clements told the San Diego Union-Tribune, "I take full responsibility. Had I been aware, I would have scored it 10-6."

    Floyd Mayweather is not an ATG, he kept cheating dipping below his opponents waist and couldn`t throw combos and had no power.

    Boxers in the 90`s relied mainly on athleticism.

    I'm sure I'll have said a few of these before, but oh well....

    Mike Spinks wasn't legitimately knocked out by Tyson - he decided he didn't fancy it and stayed down.

    James J. Corbett gets horrendously overrated by many fans / historians.

    Khan would have beaten Brook had they fought around 2014 / 2015 when it should have happened.
