    "Cool" Vince Phillips

    Good call, I'd left him for dead after T-Rex Sanders put him to sleep.

    I cannot see it happening. JMM was the final turning point for the great MAB in my view. Although...I'm really glad he carries on fighting the very best out there. Glad and proud!:happy

    Massive difference between MAB and Morales is Barrera has been more versatile and clever in his career after the Morales fight he changed in 2 more of a boxer and avoided alot of the wars of his early career,Morales never did and therefore he really is shot.

    People didn't think Ray Robinson had much left when he lost to Ralph Jones. He went on to win the MW title 3 more times, and it could've easily been 4.

    Not only is this true, IMO his recent performances give validity to the claim of fighting injured for a while there as I feel he's looking good in there again. I'm not saying he could stand a chance against Wlad, but he looks better.:bbb Go Holyfield!!

    What the **** are you saying? He looked shot against DLH? He beat DLH twice on De La Hota's own fighting style, speed and power. It's more logical to say he look shot against Forrest or Winky because he lost twice to both fighters. :lol: :lol: :lol: . . . and that having said . . . I'll say yeah Mosley.

    duran comes to mind. most people thought he was done after quitting against SRL, getting schooled by benitez and then losing to unheralded kirkland laing. then he comes back and tears davey moore a new one, gives one of the top 3 greatest MW a tough fight. though he gets crushed by hearns he manages to take the wbc MW title off, twice hearns conqueror, iran barkley in ring magazines fight of the year. imo one of the best career ressurections in any sport.
