[The End]

Post anything you've learned at your tenure here at boxrec.

5. Mike Tyson was unstoppable in his prime and no one could beat him.
4. Marvin Hagler was paid off against Leonard.
3. Ray Leonard was terrified of Pryor and ducked him.

1. Wilt Chamberlain could beat Muhammad Ali.

[Tomasino]

John Ruiz could beat Harry Greb.

Everyone on the east coast knew Liston Vs Clay & Ali Vs Liston were fixed

Primo Carnera was an alll time Great HW

Holyfield has never done steroids

A fighter who has no video record is likely to be up to 32.3% better than has ever been imagined by the general public.

Mike Spinks may have taken a dive, or acted cowardly in his fight with Tyson

If you happen to be wandering about or near a training camp, or perhaps happen upon a fighter in the wake of his recent prize fight, carry a good supply of orange juice to offer him.

Marciano was never beaten because he could never be beaten.

There is an "undiscovered" 50th Marciano fight. (If it was not filmed, it was likely the best fight of his life)

Ezzard Charles was 3X better than Archie Moore.

A fighters psyche should never be taken into consideration when postulating a hypothetical bout.

Tis a stone cold fact.

..buzzy is near the truth on ezzard and archie......butr ezzard was only twice as good as archie....well, maybe just one and a half....

[SaadOffTheDeck]

Two astonishing facts from this week are that Joe Louis never beat a great fighter & Arturo Gatti vs PBF would have been a great fight at 130 pounds.

I can sum the buffoonery seen here over the years in one swift sentence.

"Everything you thought you knew about Boxing...was wrong."

the brothers klit would have destroyed tyson,ali,frazier,foreman and holmes all in one night

[Tomasino]

Check out the brittish forum, I am being abused as we speak for suggesting that Frazier would defeat either Klit.

[scallum]

1. That the 6th best fighter Louis fought was Great.
2. That Spinks is not considered Great

[MEISINGER]

mike tyson was innocent of rape
only fighters with 100 or more fights are great with the exception of sugar ray leonard
todays top fighters would be sparring partners for the fringe contenders of the golden age
if you do not agree with the first person commenting on a thread you are obviously a retard
no one is ray robinsons equal
ali is a god
upon joe fraziers death he went up in 93.79% of everyones top 10

beating everyone in your division does not make you the best,it just is code for you are in a very
weak era and really suck

You suggested that Frazier would 'kill' either Klit, which is quite different from merely suggesting that he would defeat them.

[Jaywheel]

elmer doesn't have his list with him right now.

In fairness, do you take your top-100 list to the library with you? D

DLH couldnt win against a punch bag
Pacquiao is useless
Mayweather is a pennyless chicken
Mayweather could KO Ali, leonard and robinson in 1 go
David Haye never won a fight in his life

This actually adds up, because I also found out De La Hoya wouldnt be able to whip Juan LaPorte last week.

i once was told that JCC was paid off after the fights by DLH

Sorry, I wasn't suggesting that he would defeat them by murder, although I can see how this would be misunderstood


I feel he would destroy Wlad by rnd 7 and soundly outpoint Vitali over 12 or if a 15 rnd fight Frazier by stoppage in 14.

Ike Ibeabuchi = alltime great

oh we all forgot the most important

Some interesting opinions/assertion of facts:

If a fighter wins by 3 rounds in a 15 round fight, he kicked the other guy's ass. (This may only apply if the fighter that you like better was the winner.)
Jerry Quarry should be in the Hall of Fame.
Ali's win against Cleveland Williams is no more impressive than Holmes' win vs Ali. (Probably the best of many you use regarding Ali)
Leonard's win over Benitez is tainted because Benitez got a cut by an accidental headbutt. Doesn't seem to matter than the cut didn't obscure his vision at all.
If Gatti and Mayweather fought 50 times, Gatti would never win a round.
Gene Tunney ducked Jack Sharkey.
Aaron Pryor never gained one pound over 140 between fights.
Gavilan got robbed vs Robinson, even though the person making the claim never saw the fight.
When my guy won it was fair and square. When your guy won it was because... (fill in the excuse. Doesn't matter if it's a weak one.)

[witherspoon]

Jeff Lacy got his ass handed to him by Joe Calzaghe because he did not acclimatise to the altitude of Manchester.
As far as this thread is concerned, that is the gold standard, IMO.
