Escalera wins. Corrales was good but Escalera was very good.

Teddy 'Redtop' Davis.

Jose Napoles is one of my favourite fighters. Love his style, great to watch; so relaxed, in control, smooth but also devastating. One of the greatest counter punchers, and probably one of the greatest punchers. He sometimes looked a bit open defensively, but compensated with a granite jaw. As has b...

Marvin Hagler cites John Mugabi as the hardest hitter he has ever faced! :o I've heard it was actually Eugene Hart. But whatever - there's not much to seperate between Hart, Mugabi and Hearns, they were all elite middleweight punchers, or at least in terms of sheer power. And say what you want abou...

Interesting. Maybe Hearns didn't break his hand on that punch at all - maybe it was one of the uppercuts that he threw after, one of them might have landed awkwardly.

Middleweights who could beat Archie Moore at light heavyweight: Charley Burley Ezzard Charles Harry Greb Billy Conn Moore was overmatched against Burley when they actually fought, and was not the fighter he would become. A middleweight Ezzard Charles would get sparked; again, he wasn't the fighter ...

Well think about it. If Robinson stayed at 147 all his life we would of been having an argument of good he would of been at 160lbs and you would of probably have said that he was too small for Graziano and Olson. He showed he was pretty good against 175 competition and he would of probably beaten m...

Yea... I've been having trouble finding the fights.

I think Robinson would of been a pretty good Light Heavyweight. Really? Based on what? Okay, he did good against Maxim - until he lost. As I said already, Maxim was affected by the heat as well and wasn't fighting very hard. It's clear as day when you compare footage of Maxim. Imagine Robinson putt...

I always thought Art Aragon was manufactured.

Why is it everytime someone brings this fictitious p4p scenario when discussing great fighters. It can never be proved and is extremely futile. Would Ezzard Charles have beat Clay/Ali?, absolute not and so what if Charles was a LH, is that Ali's fault. No it is not and no it not his fault Robinson,...

Why do so many people STILL consider Muhammad Ali the greatest. What makes him so great? He doesnt have an undefeated record, so why does he get that type of credit? I really don't know. I rate Ali about 13th on the whole pound-for-pound list thing. Some people even have the cheek to laugh when I s...

A couple of tasks for you, Silkov: 1/ Name a fighter or some fighters who Robinson beat that were as good as, or even close to, Archie Moore. Not in a pound-for-pound sense, but actual, direct abilities (since we are matching them up, not comparing them relative to their weights). 2/ Name some fight...

Well you just think Jack and Montgomery were better than Buchanan and Dejesus Difference is, I stated it was my opinion; "I would say..." how many fights of Jack and Montgomery have you seen? Not many, infact none of Montgomery. However; he has an excellent record. We've not seen Duilio L...

Silkov, Silkov... ... There was much more to Patterson-Moore than just a speed difference. If that were so, then yes, Moore may have been troubled by Robinson. But no - Patterson had Robinson's speed, as well as lots more strength and lots more power. He had agility and youth on Moore, and he was ve...

I agree that Williams is a little overlooked but sont see how he rates higher than either Duran, Gans or Leonard??.... if you compare their reigns and careers those other guys acheived more imo.... Two other lightweights that are more overlooked than Williams imo are Joe Brown and Ismal Laguna.... ...

Here's what I could find from Williams' resume - the top ten contenders he beat over featherweight, lightweight and welterweight: Beau Jack Bob Montgomery Kid Gavilan Sammy Angott Lefty LaChance Bill Speary Slugger White Johnny Hutchinson Freddie Dawson Joey Peralta Lulu Constantino Willie Joyce Dav...

Ike Williams. He's more known than some, but honestly, he should be a top three lightweight I reckon. Fantastic fighter with awesome credentials. If you go by accomplishments at lightweight, you could rate Williams above Roberto Duran, Joe Gans and possibly even Benny Leonard. I agree that Williams...

While both Moore and Charles would have a physical advantage over Ray I dont see either of them blasting him out, Ray was just too great a fighter to be blasted out, even by those guys... I'd go for both winning by decisions with their extra strength and size being the decider... Charles would be t...

>>>Moore UD15 Robinson? That's crap.<<< Don't get upset with me just because YOU got it wrong!!! Perhaps if you would actually try to learn about something before speaking up then you won't be made to look as you do now! Perhaps you could enlightens us and give us all some examples of when Moore ju...

>>>A rampaging Archie Moore tears Robinson a new arsehole by the fourth.<<< Archie Moore was never a rampaging fighter!!! He was a counter-puncher extraordinaire and did his best work when fighters came to him! James Toney has a style that is very similar to what Moore’s was. A bout between Moore a...

Both of these guys are above his pay grade...too big and of course they are the cream of the crop of the LH's. If I'd want to tease you I'd say "Charles yes, Moore no" -- but I guess you got it right. Btw, SRR Maxim was not only "competitive", SRR dominated most of the fight. I ...

A rampaging Archie Moore tears Robinson a new arsehole by the fourth. Charles spears him all night before bringing out the big guns to stop him in about the tenth round.
