Re: Most candidates for all-time #1
It's a slam dunk because of the long list of fighters that Pep beat, the dominance he displayed against ranked opps. The fighters Saddler lost to. the fact that at the time of their 4 meetings, Pep was still excellent, but not as good as he had been before the crash. That 108-1-1 record is nothing ...

Re: Sugar Ray Robinson: 5 guys that would have beaten him
These 5 guys I think at their very best would have beaten a prime Sugar Ray Robinson in a 5 fight series. Watching the original Sugar Ray fight, there is no question of his greatness. But I saw some flaws that the fighters below would have taken advantage of it. 1. Sugar Ray Leonard at 147 lbs: Lik...

Re: Lightweights: Pernell "Sweet Pea" Whitaker vs. Jimmy Carter
Sweet Pea by unanimous decision, even with Jimmy Carter's rough and ruggedly tactics. Sweet Pea was very strong inside. Not an easy target nor guy to push around.

Re: The Top 100 Greatest Boxers Pound per Pound of All-Time
Mike Tyson at 96 feels far too low. Forget his career after the Spinks fight, what he did before the age of 22 is pretty much unprecedented. I don’t expect to see a 21 year old undisputed HW champ again in my lifetime. I feel you on that one. But, after coming back from jail, the great Mike Tyson's...

Re: The Top 100 Greatest Boxers Pound per Pound of All-Time
In his prime, Wilfredo Gomez was one of the best combination punchers I've ever seen. Ironically, one of my favorite Bazooka performances is one where he doesn't even score a knockdown. It's the one where he dominates iron chinned Juan LaPorte by smothering him with his repertoire of punches round ...

I have seen the great Battling Battalino short clip video footage fight with the great Kid Chocolate. It seems to me that it was a great great fight. One of the very best fights of the 1930s decade. The problem is that the footage is not complete. Some rounds are missing. But, of what I have seen fr...

Yes I'm with you on this. Didn't pep win 25 fights in a row or something after his plane crash. Seems to me he just came up against someone better who beat him 3/4 times. Saddler was a great fighter himself and a killer of a puncher. It stops Pep appearing with the absolute demi gods of boxing for ...
