For the record back in Robinson's era when guys routinely fought series of 3 and 4 fights I think even Leonard would've taken losses against the likes of Hearns and all that. There's not too many Welterweights that I would pick as a shoe in over Robinson in his prime, but there's certainly a few who...

They are pushing this propaganda onto kids. They are pushing 'male to female' men into women's sports, changing rooms, prisons and clubs. They are forcing boring as shit pro-tranny messages into films, television, computer games etc. I'm willing to live and let live with these strange and troubled ...

I'd imagine these weight classes will consist of 1 or 2 people fighting each other, and then one of them retiring as the undefeated Champion right? How many Transgender Boxers could there possibly be?

If all 4 governing bodies approve of it. They can do as they please. I will never watch a fight in this Weight class. It's an abomination and a bastardization of Boxing. And any 200 to 225 pound fighter that's worth watching would be the first one to say "I'm a f*cking Heavyweight!" Doesn'...

I just watched Legendary Nights. Tyson vs Lewis. When the two were youths the two sparred together. Tyson was having a hard time finding sparrig partners so the two amateur camps converged. There is a pictures of the two together. Any idea what Mike Tyson weighed back then. I have heard in smokers ...

Frazier wins by UD in an all time great Heavyweight slugfest.

Mercer would definitely be tough enough to hang in there for the distance, and land his share of thudding shots on Joe, but Joe's superior skill wins the day.

I think Toney would've won a decision over Maskaev.

I feel like it's the best and most interesting fight available for either of them right now and I hope it happens.

Do you think so? I’ve never really considered that.
Obviously CZ is mentally ill.
I’ve always thought that JF is just a fqing idiot.

The line between Mental illness and Idiocy is quite thin.

John Fury is what Charlie Zelenoff would be if Charlie Zelenoff had a famous Son.

I can see Cooper at his best giving Bruno a struggle, and rattling him with a few shots, but ultimately I feel like Bruno is the bigger, stronger guy. More talented. More heart I felt like. I think both guys would feel like they could beat the other guy so neither would give in easy, but Bruno is go...

I figure Corrales would knock the tracks off of Tank.

The all timers from 112 on down get a little tougher to determine. You got Jimmy Wilde, Pancho Villa, Pascual Perez, Benny Lynch, Miguel Canto. Not much separating any of those guys. At 108 even more so. 105 the top guy is definitely Ricardo Lopez Roman Gonzalez actually had a spectacular career as ...

Jones is just flat out better than Andre Ward

Ward needed a lot of advantages given to him to get where he got in Boxing. I don't think even crooked judges and shady referees can save him from defeat against Roy.

Unless he gets a Montell Griffin style DQ win over Roy or something.

Usyk vs Fury
Joshua vs Wilder
Crawford vs Boots
Canelo vs Benavidez

Tank vs Haney/Loma/Regis Prograis/Teofimo Lopez/Shakur Stevenson or anyone else he's been ducking like his career depends on it.

That's about as much as I'm paying attention these days.

Saudi Arabia. The place that sheltered the 9/11 bombers and kidnapped and butchered a journalist? Great place to showcase your sport. :stop: Money over everything Absolutely, and that's what money does. Did you see the celebrity guest list? Christiano Ronaldo and Eminem were not there just to watch...

Crawford UD's Marquez in an entertaining, and hard fought chess match.

Pendleton is a guy who's career story I love, but I think he's in over his head against JLC here. Pendleton would give him fits, but JLC was ultimately too strong at this weight class, and would put too much pressure on Pendleton as the fight went.

Reasonably competitive bout early with Lennox taking control more and more as it goes on. He either stops TIllis later in the bout or wins a UD.

I think if Floyd had stuck at 140 he would make this list. He was nasty at 140. Yes I'd agree with that. He performed exceptionally well at the weight class. He just only ever had 3 bouts there which hurts his standing as far as time divisional ranking goes. If he'd had just 1 more bout there, and ...

1. Aaron Pryor
2. Julio Cesar Chavez
3. Kostya Tyzsu
4. Jack "Kid" Berg
5. Antonio Cervantes

I'd put Barney Ross and Tony Canzoneri in there.

Wow, what are we ever gonna do?

It's really not that crazy to think a guy who lost a Split Decision that is hotly debated against the Heavyweight Champion earned himself a ranking with his performance. If I were Ngannou's people I'd take advantage of the publicity from all this, and get him a couple of fights against chinny guys t...

I am and always was a much bigger fan of Usyk.
