Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Some good answers hopkins is like that old guy that just refuses to quit! How many of these fighters could have been greats if developed properly and if that old miserable outstanding champion didn't beat them up? lol.
Carbajal vs Arce....never say never. Hearns over Hill. Any handfull of Glen Johnson fights
[QUOTE=Bilbo;1015682]This list is strange. Not sure you understood the question. Duran fought for about 20 years after his loss to Leonard, how was it a generational handover? Plus the younger guy won the fight.
What he means is which fights, between the old warhorse and young heir elect actually to the surprise of everyone went the way of the old warhorse.[/QUOTE]
Not according to the opening post on the thread, Marciano KO'd Louis, Tyson KO'd Holmes, that means the younger guy beat the old warhorse.
As for Duran, should he have fought on for another 20 years? Duran is arguably the greatest fighter of the 1970's, is he on your list of the greatest fighters of the 1980's? After Leonard 2 Duran lost to every A list fighter he fought, Benitez, Hearns and Hagler and then lost to some fighters not good enough to carry his gym bag 10 years earlier. Duran handed over the generational baton with No Mas. Duran was at his peak in the 70's, he gave us one last peak performance in Montreal then the generational changeover took place. I actually think this is the most significant changeover of them all. The fact is Duran hung around the periphery in the 1980's.
Think the Foreman ko over Moore was a one i think was his first lose and maybe took some steam out of him and Holyfeild took what ever was left in the rematch. Not sure how Moore would done with that chin it was pretty shit and might of cost him some fights like it did anyway even if he won.
