Lachbuster had a good idea for a thread, so I'll run with it too. Added element to this one.....name your choice in the pairings, but also tell us whom you believe to be the best of all of the whole list. Who's greater? Carlos Ortiz or Vicente Saldivar Floyd Patterson or Dwight Qawi Matthew Saad Muhammad or Victor Galindez Jose Napoles or Miguel Canto Jake Lamotta or Dick Tiger
Do you think Paterson had the size to squeeze into cruiser during Qawi`s prime? During his day earlier in his career Floyd fought at light heavy.
Saldivar Braxton yes. Less savage and feral Qawi no. I love Saad. Saw him live often but gotta go with "Viscious" Victor Napoles. But, Canto stood on top of that division like a monolith in his prime.
I got a couple 130 pound prime. CAMACHO or MAYWEATHER GUSHIKEN or YUH HOLYFIELD or EITHER KLISTSCHKO HEARNS or LENNOX LEWIS my picks: Hector. Yoko. Evander. Lennox.
I think Napoles was probably the “better fighter” but Ortiz is the greater fighter or at least I think his career was better. I love both fighters.
Do you have Saldivar and Ortiz close? Or a wide gap? I have them very close and used to have Ortiz slightly higher, then flip flopped them...now getting ready to look at them all over again
Ah, i guess i should specify All close except for Napoles, which is the most obvious one imo Ironically this thread came right as i started educating myself more on hispanic/lower weight boxers
