After the way DLH looked the other night, I could probably book him against my cousin Irene and it would make 20 mil. Personally I would like to see some one wipe the smile off Mayweathers face and Oscar might just be the one to do it. I don't think Winky would make Oscar look too good, I think he could outbox Oscar. 12 rounds
of jab, jab, jab.
While I never cared for Ali as a fighter, cause I don't like slappers, I have to agree Ali would stop traffic anywhere in the known world. You have to admire a man who stated his beliefs to the
whole world and 40 yrs. later still believes he was right. My hat is off to him.
They were both the best of their era, neither was ever accused of ducking anyone, and both had their frailties. Ali was succeptable to the left hook, Lewis to the straight right. Both were men of conviction, and both fought on beyond their prime. Both were KOed in the end by their nemesis, or men who looked up to them in their own youth, Holmes and Marciano. Personally I rate Lewis a little higher, and I saw both. Ali was a slapper and Lewis a puncher. They also both had fighters seemingly beneath their stature who made them look ordinary. Just my opinion.
Be nice to see just one belt for a change. Probably won't happen in my lifetime though. Ring rankings are a far better judge of a fighters ability than the rest put together. IBF should be for up and comers, no pay per view lets see those on ESPN.
I am not a big Ali fan, but get real. Archie Moore didn't fare very well against Ali, and he is the closest comparison I can come up with stylistically. No contest, probably do better at 175, than at his current 235.
Why all the ballyhoo. Hatton IMO has only beaten one world class opponent, who now by his own admission is not really into it anymore, that being Tsyzu. I don't want to hurt feelings but you can count all the world class fighters that have come out of England and not use all ten fingers. Hatton is a very pleasing guy to watch at 140, but looked dreadful at 147. There are plenty of name opponents at 140, why not stay there. The name of the game is money, he has to be shooting for a big payday. Oscar, PBF or some other big draw. Just my opinion.
