whin 463 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 loved the boxing but ali foreman well they would be a handful in any era same with chavez hagler duran ,and before that buchanan great boxer technician,the modern times have produced good boxers to,but for me ali duran chavez well they would had been champions in any era , same as fenech azuma nelson salvodor sanchez ,and many more ,back then people like mayweather would not get there own way as much in the ring and not dictate the pace, and pick there fights , ruben olivares another great ,modern times joe calazagha, he fought my old mate stevie wilson ,etc list could go on for ever Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BITCH 135 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 david tua,s ko of john ruiz was brutal, shame tua didnt go on to better things!! looked like another tyson! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foxfan 479 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Julian jackson was a pound for pounder who had an awesome ko record, but like many big punchers he had a glass chin himself. On the subject of Tyson, he doesnt deserve to be spoken of with great fighters for what he did to Evander Holyfield, who was a class act. jmo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blan89 159 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 this fella had some amazing power and a very solid chin. i wonder what could of been with him,he beat jones as an amateur I believe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 31,499 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 Who remembers Oba Carr? He was a Welterweight around the same time. If you remember Oba Carr you,ll probably remember Jimmy Paul out of the same gym ?.....Looked like he couldnt break a crisp packet but boy could he fight......didnt Oba Carr beat Trinidad,i know he had him down at least.....

gnasher16 31,499 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 (edited) oba carr was stopped in 8 rounds by trinidad. also lost to ike quartey and oscar de la hoya. i do remember jimmy paul good fighter. who do you rate today in britain any established fighters or any prospects? i like the look of a young fighter from bury scott quigg(spelling may be wrong) Oh my mistake...im sure Carr had him down though at some stage.....I only really keep an eye on the youngsters round my area so theres probably better prospects round the country im not aware of....but theres a kid Chris Evangelou at light welter whos coming along nicely still on the 6 rounders,Darren Barkers obviously going places,i like the look of those Walsh boys they have a great attitude to the game......but my loyalties are with a pal of mines son by the name Billy Morgan at lightweight....he might not hit hard enough to go all the way but he,s giving it his best. That lad Quigg is out against Jason Booth next time out so be a good little test for him. Ricky Burns is a fighter i like i think he might take some shifting and of course Kevin Mitchell can do no wrong in my book Edited August 30, 2011 by gnasher16 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darbo 4,779 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 thanks for the reply.agree about the walsh boys.havent heard about the kids you mention.i like barker as a fighter think hes got some class.the kid quiggs got some good things going for him. nice talking to you atb.
