Eddie Futch, Ray Arcel, Angelo Dundee, Emanuel Steward, George Benton. Regardless of who was the best they are all great and you could not go wrong with anyone of these guys in your corner. Let's not forget that these guys bring some resume to the table and worked with, learned from past masters and...

The best fighter he beat was Joe Louis. However all of Marciano' contenders were past their primes when he was champion. This is not his fault and he fought who was available in his era. He was a strong fighter with unlimited will. His syle was made for all out action. Just imagine: Marciano - Frazi...

Larry Holmes is a top 10 all time heavyweight champion. Following Ali did not help him. He was an active champion on an annual basis. Fought the leading contender once per year and then fought other contenders 2 to 3 times per year. Later in his championship reign he was more intersted in the financ...

Greatest Lightweight of all time in my opinion would be Robert Duran. I am also an Alexis Arguello fan as well Benny Leonard. Carlos Ortiz is another top lightweight. Ike Williams. Whitaker makes the top ten, but in the upper 6 to 10. Also a factor would be number of rounds 12 or 15. Whitaker stands...

Using your eight light heavyweights and recognizing that Tommy Loughran, Harold Johnson and most of all Billy Conn is missing. Here is the list. 1. Gene Tunney 2. Ezzard Charles 3. Archie Moore 4. Bob Foster 5. Roy Jones Jr 6. Micheal Spinks 7. Joe Calzaghe 8. Michael Moorer I also think that there ...

Terry Norris was good fighter, fast hands, good boxer, good power but he could be hurt when hit on the chin by a good puncher. Julian Jackson, Simon Brown examples.

Dempsey in 2. Patterson would be intimidated by Dempsey and did not have the chin for Dempsey power. Patterson would have had to been the champion because Dempsey would not have granted Patterson a title shot. Better fight would be Dempsey vs Marciano.

This fight would be boring except for the names. Whitaker by decision. Floyd likes to counter punch and Whitaker would not be there for that. Two great fighters with styles that do not work against each other.

The ruling should have been questioned in that fight for the length of the round. If not a no contest a rematch should have been ordered. As for Larry Holmes he was the best heavyweight of that era. He would have fought and beat Dokes, Coetzee, Page, Tubbs, Witherspoon again etc. His only fault in n...

Never saw Wajima fight so refraining from opinion. At 154 pounds: Norris gets knocked out by Hearns, Trinidad, Vargas, De La Hoya, Ayala Jr. Loses decisions to Benitez, McCallum, Benvenutti, Wright. At 160 pounds Norris gets knocked out by McClellan and Toney. Loses decisions to Nunn, Hopkins. WINS ...

You fight the best fighters available to you in your era. So even with the age factor you would have to say:
Ezzard Charles
Archie Moore
Joe Louis

Nelson will always fare better against fighters who would come to him. Whitaker' movement, speed and effective style is too much to overcome. He kept coming as expected and if I remember the scoring was closer than it should have been. Whitaker in his prime barely lost a round let alone a fight.

Bowe - Holyfield 1
Bowe - Golota - 1
Moorer - Cooper

I think Julian Jackson was a much sharper puncher than John Mugabi and he had better balance. Mugabi tended to punch wide and was reckless and off balance. Of course with power like these guys had it comes down to who can take the better shot before the actual KO punch is landed. (see Mugabi-Hargrov...

I guess I misread the question. If the fight was in 1994 Moorer does win the fight I agree. Holmes in his prime defeats Moorer.

1. vs Sugar Ray Leonard at 147lbs Leonard wins by unanimous decision 2. vs Thomas Hearns at 147lbs Thomas Hearns by KO 3. vs Roberto Duran at 135, 140 or 147lbs Duran by KO in brutal fight 4. vs Julio Cesar Chavez at 135 or 140lbs Chavez by split decision 5. vs Pernell Whitaker at 135 or 140lbs Pryo...

I agree about the modern day athlete being bigger and stronger but going back to the 40's and 50's is not to far too go back. What made these fighters great was activity which relates to experience and the level of competition they fought. They were using the same technics and fighting style in thos...

It is hard for me to believe that anyone feels that Moorer would have defeated Larry Holmes in his prime. Not even close. Larry Holmes would defeat Micheal Moorer by comfortable decision. Moorer never seemed motivated and would not have done enough per round to decision Larry Holmes. If Holmes could...

Of course we will never know what might have been because of the legal problems but Ayala was a strong powerful fighter who relied on his lethal left hook. His hook to the head or body was very powerful. He always looked pudgy and out of shape and really was never tested so it is all hypothetical at...

You have to remember that the networks sign multi fight contracts also and act as pimps to the fighters. They are trying to sell us a bill of goods called network ratings and now pay per view buys. One that still annoys me is Barry Tompkins calling Pinklon Thomas' right hand KO of Mike Weaver one of...

Don't get me wrong guys. I am a Leonard fan also but you have to look at it at pound for pound. Duran does not get beat at Lightweight, Leonard does not get beat at Welterweight and Hagler does not get beat at Middleweight. Leonard only seeked rematches if he needed vindication. He made the statemen...
