How do people see this playing out? Joppy is natural bigger than Oscar, has quick hands, but then Oscar is obviously the better pound for pound fighter. I see this as a tough fight for Oscar. Thoughts?
Joppy was not a physical type fighter nor a real big middleweight. His skills were decent but nothing special. ODLH would beat him easy, just on speed and boxing. I think the middleweight tournament that involved Holmes, Joppy, Trinidad and Hopkins showed what was reality. Holmes and Joppy were manufactured champions that were nothing special and Trinidad had no buisness being at middleweight as Hopkins was leagues ahead of all of them, including ODLH.
Joppy is a superior fighter to Sturm, who clearly beat De la Hoya. Oscar doesnt belong at middleweight and would lose this fight. P.s Note Tommy V's post
