Re: George Foreman Circa 1973 V Joe Louis Circa 1941

Sure the other way the same, but Ali has better quality of competition than Louis. You can not compare Ali's opponents. Liston, Foreman, Frazier, Shavers, Norton, etc.

Re: George Foreman Circa 1973 V Joe Louis Circa 1941

Joe is one of the best punchers of all time and the accuracy of his punches was remarkable. But he never faced and opponent intimidating like foreman or liston in their primes. Big thunderous punchers. I will said if foreman can not take louis out in 5 rounds. Louis by tko in 8 rounds like Ali.

what if Sanchez vs Chavez in 1984 or 1985

When Salvador Sanchez died. In 1982. Don King was planing to make an Arguello vs Sanchez. at Lightweight. That Would had been a tremendous fight. I would had give Sanchez to beat Arguello by decision obviosly we will never know if Sanchez could had survive Arguello's big right hands. like Pryor did ...

Re: Roberto Duran VS Aryon Pryor

Duran at 140 pounds could had had still plenty of power. lets say the 1982 pryor that beat arguello against the 1980 duran that beat leonard. Duran would had won, too much speed and skills. Pryor beat an arguello that was walking into his punches like a robot. different history against duran would h...

Re: The big punchers with 2 hand ko power

I remember in a hbo vhs cassette that Many said Marciano lost his punching power in the first ezzard charles fight. the ref did not separate the fighters even once. An to me Marciano besto punching power was at the beggining of his career up to 1953. in 54 and 55 it looks he was more agressive and t...

The big punchers with 2 hand ko power

Very few fighters are capable of having similar power in both hands. How will you rate Joe louis Power using the 1 to 10 points. Lets say right hand 10 and left hand 8. Rocky Marciano. right hand 10 left hand 8. Joe Frazier. Left hand 9 right hand 5. sorry joe frazier did not had any power in his ri...

Re: What if Marvin Hagler vs Sugar Ray Leonard 1982

Another interesting rematch would had been in 1988 or 1989. Hearns vs Duran 2. I do think this time the Hearns that lost to Barckley would had had a very tought fight against the Duran that beat barckley. In the Hearns fight Duran had to lose 40 pounds in about 2 months that weaken him a lot. But th...

Re: What if Marvin Hagler vs Sugar Ray Leonard 1982

Hagler vs hearns 2 should had happen in sept 1986. This time i see maybe Hearns winning by decision or maybe Hagler could had ko him again but not in 3 in about 8 rounds.

What if Marvin Hagler vs Sugar Ray Leonard 1982

The fight should had happen in 1982. Leonard retired and comeback in 1987 and beat a somehow slow Hagler. But let say Hagler vs Leonard 1982 both in their primes and scheduled for 15 rounds. I think Hagler would had won by tko in 13 or 14 rounds or by decision, Hagler in his prime would had been ver...

What if Aaron Pryor vs Donald Curry at welterweight 1984.

What if Pryor would had gain weight and fought Donald Curry in 1984 for Curry's wba welterweight title? My guess Curry by ko inside 10 rounds. I don't think Pryor could had take a solid welterweight punch.

Re: 1978 Ali vs Norton fourth fight, Spinks vs Holmes,

Exactly. and Ali could not beat spinks by ko the way holmes did. Norton and Holmes would had destroyed Spinks in 5 rounds. And even i can see Norton stopping maybe this time Ali in 12 or 13 rounds. The same Larry Holmes.

1978 Ali vs Norton fourth fight, Spinks vs Holmes,

The year 1978 what if Ali would had defended the title against Ken Norton? In the fourth fight between then? I guess this time Norton would had won by decision, that is why Ali did not wanted Norton. For the previews 3 fights were very close. Now what if Ali had defended against Larry Holmes. i gues...

I don't know what made the great Larry Holmes get up from the shot from KO Artist Earnie Shavers...It was a blow that many heavyweights would not come back nor get up and fight. What a blow. yes big right hand, and in the same round he was knock down by renaldo snipes. the punch was equally as hard...
