Re: Ricky Hatton
yes, he's a popular brit fighter. i guarantee he'll get in. Since when did popularity become the sole factor for an induction into the Hall of Fame? Kostya Tszyu doesn't deserve to be inducted and neither does Ricky Hatton. i agree with you but if you look at mcguigan, he got in on his popularity. ...

Re: Oscar De La Hoya vs. Ike Quartey
i had this fight even as well, 113-113. i gave oscar a 10-7 round in the 12th. had quartey down and then in serious trouble. halpern could have stopped the fight and there wouldn't have been much to complain about.

Re: Oscar De La Hoya vs. Pernell Whitaker
I saw this fight years ago, was the accidental headbutt given a point off by the ref? I don't think Lane had anything to do with the point deduction on the headbutt, apparently under the WBC rules when an opponent receives an accidental headbutt the way to even things for him is to take a point awa...

Re: Lineal heavyweight champs since Larry Holmes...
vitali is 10 times the athlete willard was. his footwork allows him to keep range something willard was terrible at. vitali has a good right hand so i don't know why you say he's an inferior puncher. vitali is also more active than what i've seen of willard. willard might be the worst heavyweight c...

Re: Lineal heavyweight champs since Larry Holmes...
I've asked this in other threads but with only vague answers in response? Besides better foot movement, what did Vitali do better than Willard? And to boot Vitali was a inferior puncher and inferior in-fighter. There are a few small style differences but if Willard were fighting today he would look...

Re: Lineal heavyweight champs since Larry Holmes...
Vitali holds a good shot and that means he simply isn't going to get beaten by anybody hoping for a lucky shot to land. What also surprises me is that Vitali seems to use quite an old style of fighting and I'm surprised his durability and straight up style doesn't make more people on this baord cit...

Re: Lineal heavyweight champs since Larry Holmes...
if you're counting the ring belt, vitali held it before wlad. i know this is the lineage but i have a big problem with shannon briggs being there. he was given one of the worst decisions vs foreman in recent memory. all the other fighters on the list at one point or another were recognized as "...

Where do you rank Ali pound for pound all-time?
I know there's a ton of lists that are done on these boards but I'm wondering where you rank ali on an all-time pound for pound list. i feel heavyweights are always penalized on lb for lb lists because part of ranking a fighter is how they do when they move up in weight. list where you rank ali and ...

Re: Facing Ali on Spike TV
this might be the best boxing documentary ever. hearing the stories of the fighters interviewed as well as showing the way they planned to defeat ali was perfect. if you haven't seen this, ali fan or not, get a copy or watch parts of it on youtube.
