the machine, the only one of those comments you dug up that I can take back would be Tye fields, the guy is obviously a bum.

So you think Cotto would have absolutely no chance vs Duran? I would give him a chance.

You must be living in denial if you think Duran was faster than Cotto (some of you hint at this).

Don't get me wrong, I still picked Duran, but I did give Cotto a chance.

I'm sure there is a lot of ludicrous crap you have posted, probably stuff like Jack Johnson kicking Lennox Lewis ass or something along the lines of that.

Bernard Hopkins in his Prime would beat Pernel Whitaker. Once again, probably basing Hopkins off his last performance, which he did very well for 43 years old.

It's even more annoying when guys like you say that Marciano wouldn't have lasted 30 seconds with Mike Tyson.

Rabbit dislike? What the f**k did Bugs Bunny do to him? Claim Bert Sugar knew more about boxing than 30 them_apples?

Indeed he is.

I don't have a problem with anything other than comparing Margarito to Duran (both supposedly slow, tough fighters). Trust me, there is no comparison.

Bernard Hopkins certainly beats Pernell Whitaker, but it won't be close. Whitaker was a 5'6 natural lightweight, a small welterweight, Hopkins was a 6'1 huge middleweight, in my opinion a light heavyweight. The only way this match-up makes any sense is in a p4p sense.

Simply done, going to Boxrec.com and look up best light-heavies of all time. After Rjj retires, he will go atop of that list.

You saying Jones will go to the top of the all time great lightheavy list after he retires shows what little you know of boxing. You saying saying this list was simply done by going to boxrec shows what little you know of me.

Ezzard Charles is the greatest Light Heavyweight of all time. I'll do a top 10 later, but the number 1 spot will remain as Charles for me.

I agree 100% Charles and I don't think it's even close: 6-0 against my #2 Archie Moore!
