Re: 1971 Joe Frazier -vs- 1980 Larry Holmes...
I pick Larry Holmes. He has such a reach advantage over just about everyone. One of the Great jabs. Great chin would always get up. I think he out points or TKO's Frazier in the late rounds.

Re: Thomas Hearns vs Pernell Whitaker @ welterweight
I believe Hearns would win pretty easily. The reach advantage is big. Also Whitaker could get caught. Hearns was very fast at Welterweight.

Re: Top 100 Heavyweights All Time
I also think Larry Holmes should be ahead of Joe Frazier. Holmes was very underrated. HE beat 1. Ernie Shavers (twice) 2. Ken Norton 3. Mike Weaver (Former Champ, twice) 4. Muhammed Ali (Over the hill) 5. Trevor Berbick (Former Champ) 6. Leon Spinks (Former Champ) 7. Renaldo Snipes (Snipes first def...

Re: List Your Top 10 Most Overrated Heavyweights Of All Time
I don't have a top 10 list. But I always thought Joe Frazier was overrated. He beat a blown up Bob Foster and Muhammed Ali once. He got destroyed by Foreman twice and Ali got his number twice. I don't see any quality wins for him. Maybe Oscar Bonavena if anyone considered him good. Yes Bonavena was...

Re: best light middle ever
McCallum's problem was that he was seen as extremely dangerous yet wasn't a big 'name' Exactly. He was very crafty with a great chin. Very tough. I believe when McCallum said people were ducking him he was right. I don't think it was because anyone was scared. McCallum couldn't draw the big money. ...

Re: Who beats Tyson in his Prime (before Cus Death)
I didn't read all the replies but here is my take. Mike Tyson was an unstoppable force when he had Kevin Rooney training him. Even after Cus died. Once he left Jim Jacobs and Kevin Rooney he lost his skills quickly. He was still fast and powerful but no head movement. He also openly admitted on seve...

Re: David Tua vs Earnie Shavers...... *DROOLS*
Depends on which Tua showed up. If it was the Bulldozer I think he would run Shavers over. If it was the lazy passive Tua then Shavers would catch him. Shavers only fought at around 209 lbs. I don't know what he would do with the Tuanator.

Re: Rank The Fab Four.
I realized I probably didn't rank them. So here it goes. 1. Marvelous Marvin Hagler (Beat Duran, Beat Hearns, Probably would have beat Leonard in his prime. If Hagler fought Leonard 10 times I believe he would win the majority.) 2. Thomas"Hitman"Hearns (He was beating leonard in 1981 befor...

Re: Pernell Whitaker vs. Roberto Duran at 135 (prime vs. prime)
I pick Duran. At 135 he was a maniac with endless energy who would hunt you down. He hit harder and no way Whitaker would be able to ko him. Duran was also pretty fast in his own right at 135.

Re: best light middle ever
Tommy Hearns was unbeaten at the weight and beat Duran and Benitez, Norris beat nobody of that calibre and would get knocked out in 2 rounds by Hearns. No comparison whatsoever Honestly, I don't agree that Benitez was a great Jr. Middleweight. He was much better fighter at 140lbs, and 147 lbs. Dura...

Re: Roberto Duran vs Iran Barkley (my scorecard)
I just re watched this fight the other day and I thought Barkley did enough to keep his title. It was close though. I believe if Barkley was a bigger name he would have got the decision.

Re: Hagler vs Leonard in 1982...who wins?
I think Hagler would have won easily in 1982. He was better in his prime than Leonard. By the way, I scored their fight 115-113 for Leonard.

Re: best light middle ever
Thomas Hearns is my favorite fighter of all time. But he had limited time at Jr. Middleweight. I would put Mike McCallum and Terry Norris ahead of him. I think he would have beaten Norris. McCallum would have given him fits.

I think that Roberto Duran wouldn't stand a chance against Roy Jones Jr. Roy would be way too fast. I think Tommy Hearns would knock out Roy Jones. At middleweight Roy never got touched. I think Hearns would have touched him. And we see when Roy gets touched he goes down. Hearns by KO in 5. Watch t...

Re: Top 100 Heavyweights All Time
Joe Frazier is way too high on the list. He beat Ali once and maybe Bob Foster who moved up in weight. Don't really see him as a great Heavyweight.
