I'd put money on Algeri waxing Porters arsee or any other slick american boxer
Hopefully its a fight that can be made....
Sorry, but Porter's not a slick american boxer. He is black, but unlike most black boxers, Porter's not the slick type. He's a power house.
I dont think that Calzaghe was better than Ward. Ward is more versatile than Joe was and obviously fought the stiffer competition at this stage of his career.
Arturro was awesome, he was also a great guy. Back in the mid 90s, I used to spar and train with Arturro, during the time, I was just a kid. We had the same coach, Hector Roca in Gleason's gym. His brother Joe Gatti was decent too but Joe was in a division where he couldnt get away with just the toughness. though he wasn't as tough as Arturro. Funny thing is though, Arturro was a superb as boxer. He was always a good fighter and powerful, but the kid could BOX. I went to AC with him when he won his USBA title. I really miss Arturro. RIP!
How can you honestly compare these two? Joe had 21 titledefences. You don't come there by sleeping.
Ofcourse he should go in the HOF, there's no doubt about it.
Eubank
Woodhall
Reid
Sheika
Kessler
Bika
Lacy
Hopkins
Who did he miss?
Pavlik
Hopkins rematch
There's not really a case for him ducking Dawson, Froch or Ward as none of them were established profiles on the scene. to be fair though, he shouldn't have ever fought manfredo. Dawson or Froch wasnt ready but Manfredo was?
I give joe props for the lacy win, bika win and Kessler win. I scored Hopkins a draw. Eubank was a corpse when they fought and Charles brewer was Charles brewer lol. Why the **** did he ever fight peter manfredo? No. He is not IBHOF worthy. His resume consist of all quantity and very little quality. The WBO wasnt even significant like that in Calzaghe division lol.
After what he pulled with Chad what else was he going to say? That interviewer annoys the hell out of me for some reason.
What did he pull with chad? Chad offered to come down when he called ward out. Ward was silent until chad called him out and chad said they could do it at 68. I understand you want reason to hate, but it is what it is.
I like Matthysse and I pick him to beat Garcia but he doesn't beat Mayweather, sorry. Mayweather is too smart and Matthysse hands aren't as fast as he like I believe. Neither are his legs. His best chance at winning are btwn rounds 1 and 4. Matthysse has dynamite power and can KO you if he catches you, but he is not the best finisher once he has you hurt.
I predicted Matthysse to beat Garcia and the fight is still going. But everyone who said that Lucas would beat Mayweather is an idiot. Just by watching Lucas struggle against Garcia is enough to know that Floyd will OWN Lucas.
To be fair, ortiz had Floyd on the ropes and was punching him. But ortiz is faster with both feet and hands than Matthysse is. Matthysse is a far harder hitter than ortiz and the world knows that. Floyd won't be as stupid lol
Yes. Andre won the olympics at 178lbs. With that said, Dawson also stated that he could make 168lbs. I remember talks of him going down to 68 for the super six actually.
I really dont know who would have won honestly. And yes, Valero was a weight class higher but Prince may have actually been bigger. I mean, back during his days Nas's legs were like tree trunks. That's where he got all of his punching power from. He finally grew in to those big ass legs though. I honestly believe that Nas was the bigger man, just made weight better and was able to keep his strength. With that said, Naz had one punch KO power while he was off balance with one foot off the ground lol. Valero was more of a volume puncher. He stopped you with combos.
Everyone listed good fighters. But Lennox Lewis? He was a DAMN GOOD heavyweight but I never had him as an all time great. Not even heavyweight. He got KOed twice by guys who will never see the IBHOF.
Anyway, that's your opinion and I respect it. After all, that's what I asked for.
Your opinion is not worth anything
when the opinions of every boxing pundit around the world disagrees with you
Lewis is not an ATG?
are you 'vladimir' from that other site? or some shyt
Lewis avenged both his defeats in brutal fashion.
He made Mccall cry and forced Mccall to suck his dick afterwards, with Mccalls entire family watching
He brutally koed Rahman in the rematch and is the only heavyweight of the modern era to defeat EVERY BOXER HE EVER FACED
He was robbed against Holyfield despite spanking that horse whore's arse for 12 rounds straight.
Lennox Lewis is ranked by most boxing experts and magazines as a top 10 ATG HW.
Boxing news the oldest boxing magazine in the world ranks him over Floyd btw.
Remember also this is the HW division not ur weaker lightweight divisions, a KO in the PREMIER super division is only a second away. It happens to most people
Not to mention Prime Olivier Mccall was no joke .
Under estimate Mccall at your peril
You must be salty lol. I dont have Lewis as an all-time great heavyweight. Deal with it. He did beat everyone in front of him, yes. BUT he still was KOed twice by guys who will never see the IBHOF. I did feel that he beat Evander in their 1999 meeting. And I do give him full credit for beating Klitscho. I still dont rate him as an ATG. ATG Heavyweight = yes. ATG pound for pound = No.
Sergio is fast, has good power and is a southpaw. He is very talented and knows how to use it to his advantage. But Sergio is lacking in key fundamentals. He can be broke down with body shots and I would love to see how he handles a fighter with a fast, shart, strong jab. Not a flicking, Paul Williams jab. But a sharp, crispy jab to the chest and stomach.
Broner just cant be caught; and honestly I dont see how he could go without being caught by Hamed. I dont know if he has the discipline to box Hamed smartly and stay cagey like Barrera did.
and when Floyd was with Arum, he even broke his contract to fight Baldomir instead of Margarito .....
When called out, Floyd didn't want to fight Mosley from late 2006 to mid-2010 when Floyd said this version of Mosley is OLD (and inactive). What about when Floyd called Mosley out in like 99 and shane stated that he was in search for bigger fights, then in like 2004 he called out shane and shane complained that he had a toothache? Cause the 99 Mosley was pound for pound number 1 at the time
