    Oscar is 5'10.5

    As is Corrales


    Being tall and actually utilizing that attribute to it fullest is a big difference, Margarito certainly did not use his height and range wisely~
    tony pep is actually only 6 feet. i was there and measured him. unless you have actually measured them for yourself you don't know jack! you only know what boxrec tells you!

      Oscar's jab is not what I would call a fight winning jab~

      It is not a sure thing that Floyd would lose in that sort of fight but he would have to approach it fairly differently but if the guy knew how to really get the job done on the inside or at the very least know how to not get killed inside it would be a very difficult fight.

      Such a guy would be very difficult for any guy in boxing history though, and that fighter really doesn't currently exist~

      As Floyd gets older and his style changes my ideas on who can beat him will change~ but until he fights again (which he will because he will need the money eventually) I can't say how that will go~

        It is funny that you compare measurable statistics to knowing the story behind fight results~

        That is some sage like shit right there~

            No man is unbeatable, but it is just unlikely if everything else is equal. Everything is based on probability and odds, no such thing as a sure thing in the fight game.

                Likely and unlikely are different than a sure thing~

                    I had Margarito winning that fight as well. People make it seem that Santos blew him out but that wasn't the case. It was a close fight but I thought Tony was landing the harder punches throughout.

                    The Paul Williams fight wasn't a blowout either. Tony again landed the harder shots and clearly hurt Paul a couple of times.
