Re: Hypothetical Match-Up Game

The two fight on relatively even terms for 3 rounds, each man changing roles- first round Carlos Gonzalez looks voulnerable fighting off the back foot, next thing, he's pressing and has Alejandro in danger Styles mesh for an exciting fight with both men digging deep and thrilling the crowd, en route...

Re: Hypothetical Match-Up Game

Um, everyone has gotten messed up

Can we go back to my orginal post about Johnston vs Khan

And Lopez owns Cabalerro, who is too easy to hit for a big puncher like Lopez for 9th round KO

Re: Hypothetical Match-Up Game

Tiozzo jabs with Lomsky, and it get's boring

Tiozzo then, after Lomsky overreaches, lands a short left hook to spark Lomsky

Roberto Duran, fresh off his slaughter of Ken Buchanan, is looking for his first defence

In steps a prime defensive wizard in Steve Johnstone

Re: Tyson and his look a likes...

Very interesting post

Couser, in my opinion, is still good

They've just matched him too hard

Re: Hypothetical Match-Up Game

McCall claims he is fired up, but really, is looking ahead to Lewis-McCall II Bowe, as always, is a bit chubby, but is skillful and big punching, outslicking McCall and stinging him with hooks, nearly knocking him over in the 9th, but McCall was more off balance, before taking a 120-108 UD Ola Afola...

Re: Tyson and his look a likes...

Couser is a good fighter

Sedreck Fields is another look-alike

No I can't find any, but all his lookalikes share 1 thing in common- they can't take a good punch

Re: Who would win? Foreman of 1-22-73 Or Tyson of 2-11-90?

I heard something about Jones-Buster Douglas at one point Anyway, I believe Jones would beat the Foreman of the 90's, because of his lack of speed He wouldn't have beaten Tyson, or Foreman in their primes He would also lose to Lewis, the Klitschko's, Rachman, and maybe Tua For the first 4 (Lewis, Kl...

Re: Hypothetical Match-Up Game

Ezzard, as crafty and slick as they come, delivers a masterclass early on a la Cotto-Margarito, Spinks just can't get anything going, while Ezzard lands blistering combo's and counters in a career-best display Spinks awkward style and size, however, cause Ezzard problems through rounds 6-10, before ...

Re: Hypothetical Match-Up Game

Fitz starts well behind a jab, looking calm when Ketchel comes windmilling forward But, by the 10th, Stan has sharpened up, and keeps nailing Fitz with big shots By the 15th, Stans tenacity and aggression are too much, and a bloodied Fitz is forced to retire in an upset MAIN EVENT: 12 rounds of Heav...

The Journeymen of the Past & Present

Who springs to mind when we think of journeymen? Me, I, being from England, think of Tony Booth, Delroy Spencer, Matt Scriven, etc etc

Cliff Couser and Sedreck Fields

But who are the best journeymen/gatekeepers in history?

Davey Hilton didn t fight in 1986, so the guess isn t possible

Re: Hypothetical Match-Up Game

Mayweather, despite being troubled early on by Griffiths agressive style and strong physique, starts to find his range with counters and cute moves on the inside, even hurting Griffith, and by the 6th, taking control, but slipping a little as Griffith's aggresiveness gets to him, for a PBF SD Nelson...
