Stanley Ketchel vs the following middleweight legends?
As we all know Ketchel was the greatest middleweight of his era, a tough, rugged fighter who hit abnormally hard for his size, he was gutsy and had amazing stamina, proving that in the many late stoppages in his career, some even past the 35th round. How would this middleweight legend perform against these other greats of the same division: 1. vs Harry Greb 2. vs Sugar Ray Robinson 3. vs Marvin Hagler 4. vs Carlos Monzon 5. vs Bernard Hopkins BQ: Where do you rank Ketchel among middleweight greats? I personally have him at #6.
Sugar Ray Robinson vs. John Ruiz?
Hey There Sweetie! I couldn't have said it better myself! Ruiz faking getting hit by a low blow would ONCE AGAIN help secure him the victory against an opponent of vastly superior skill! .......And you'd better believe Ruiz's verbally colorful Manage,r NORMAN "STONEY" STONE, would be dropping F bombs all night if "The Quiet Man" was not awarded the contest! LOL I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE RUIZ! He has essentially become a hugely successful multi-millionaire with pure DECEIT and "Smoke and Mirrors"! He fights like a TOTAL BUM, and in the process makes EVERYONE he fights { including Hall of Fame Fighters } look like a bum along with him! { That's why Lennox Lewis opted NOT to fight him in 2000. Lennox knew he would not look impressive in the defense, even if he won } Lennox got stripped of the WBA belt, and THAT was the beginning of the belts being fragmented AGAIN, after it had taken the Heavyweight division 7 long years to Unify........The division has not been fully unified since Ruiz has CHEATED more in his career than JR Ewing cheated on Sue Ellen on Dallas! LOL Dollbaby XO
Who has had a better career Roy Jones Jr or Bernard Hopkins?
This is really harder than some think. Roy was 49-1 in his first 50 bouts winning titles in 4 to 5 weight classes. He beat all comers and dominated fights in such a way that it was hard to find rounds he lost, much less fights. He was a fighter on a mission ever since being robbed in the Korean Olympics. He did beat Hopkins in their primes head to head. But Bernard dominated the Middleweight division to a record number of title defenses. He beat everyone from Pavlik, Tarver, Wright, Trinidad, De La Hoya and so on.He then moved up and won a Light Heavyweight title. He is a legend who didn't start off with the same notoriety as Roy but his ring accomplishments and unquestionable resume has enabled him to surpass Roy. They both are Hall Of Famers, but Bernard made his career better by what he did in the ring. Roy's legacy will always be belittled in the eyes of some because of the fights he did not have. Who was the better boxer in their prime? Roy. Who had the better career? Bernard.
Who have a better LEGACY, Bernard Hopkins or Marvelous Hagler?
My pick goes to Hopkins all the waaay! B-Hop is very underrated & doesn't get the credit he deserves from boxing morons! Alot of fans think that Hagler is greater then Hopkins. I can't understand that because Hopkins got the better boxing resume! Pay attention! A record holding of 20 successful middleweight (160 lbs.) titles defenses (beat Hagler's record of 13 ), has knock out wins in the middleweight division over Felix Trinidad & Oscar De La Hoya, he's never been knocked out, and he moved up in weight & successfully beat a great light heavyweight (Antonio Tarver) & took his title (even Ray Robinson couldn't successfully move up & win the light heavyweight title). Sorry Hagler fans but Hagler can't touch that! For the record, Oscar & Felix were middleweights when they fought Bernard, not welterweights. The last time I checked they made the 160 lb weight class! Don't try to discredit Bernard for beating great fighters that were able to move up! That's just stupid!
