Re: Who has the better resume Pernell Whitaker or Manny Pacquiao?

Manny has a better resume--although he has far too many unnecessary rematch to my liking.

Sweet Pea would probably edge out a decision in their primes.

Re: The next opponent for Thurman ?

As much as i want to see him fight the brook/spence winner, the smarter decision would be to beat his mandatory (whoever the hell it is), to milk the belts and get some more publicity and money by facing the khan/pacquiao winner. The reason? Pacquiao is nearly 40. He looked good against vargas, buuu...

Re: Why Mayweather Shouldn't Be Considered An Alltime Great

If you still think all Floyd does is "run" and "hug" in 2017 and you've (supposedly) been watching matches for years, then you are simply unintelligent.

Re: Keith Thurman ... Hipster

Yes Thurman and Moore are eerily similar. Powerful, but crafty. Cerebral, a little eccentric. Student of the game and aware of its history and intricacies. Thurman is on the verge of becoming a legend. Stays disciplined and in shape between fights and isnt afraid to take on all comers. Can slug it o...

Re: Amir Khan, Please Retire

I give khan a shot. -He performs brilliantly against southpaws -he has a significant reach and height advantage -he has the x factor of being motivated to beat pac and become a bigger name as a result (maybe even hoping to lure mayweather out) -both have sparred before and khan looked good in some s...

If you think modern giants can beat older heavies, fine, but your argument cant only be because "theyre bigger" because there are many examples of smaller or medium sized heavies beating giant ones. Plenty of giants of the past hit hard too. You cant have it both ways. Either you think wl...

Doubt it. Chavez is big and strong but doesnt jave his dads warrior spirit. Who knows, maybe he'll surprise us and give us a thrilling war.

Re: Small heavyweights vs Medium Sized Heavyweights

Theres a reason hes mostly sticking with b and a level opponents. Guys over 6'4 are rare inside and outside the ring. Its east for carnera and valueve to find 50 tomato cans who are under 6'1 and weigh far less than them. That would severely skew the news.

Re: Prime Muhammad Ali vs. a prime Larry Holmes?

Ali had a higher ko% than larry. And its true, he did like to toy with guys even if he had them hurt or knocked them down to "give people their moneys worth". Jack Johnson would do the same thing and "carry" a guy. Look at his bout with buster mathis where he just shakes his head...

Re: Joe Louis vs. Mike Tyson

Weight is not a valid argument if fighter A beat several guys who were heavier than fighter B. Tyson being 10 or 15 lbs heavier than Joe was on average is not going to give him an enormous advantage. You cant have it both ways. If "weight" and size are your primary arguments then Joe would...

If youre still unaware/ignoring of the fact kovalev initiated most of the clinches because he cant fight on the inside then i cant trust you to score fights.
