I agree with Vargas. He was brought on way to fast. If he was given a little more time and not forced into the big fights so early he could have been great.Quote:

Roy Jones Jr as good as he was, and is considered I think if he had been in boxing 12 years earlier, maybe 10 he would be considered top ten for best p4p after beating Hagler, Leonard, and Hearns. However, then again, he had the "oppertunity" to fight a lot of talent that he didn't, even if it was them who didn't want to fight.
Im sorry i cant agree James Smith would have been great in any era.Quote:

Herbie Hide......I think he could have been the beezzz kneezz but he was just a little to small....he would have been a monster 20 or 30 years ago.....he would have been a great!!!
Job Biscuit (He did alrite but against giants...no chance)!!!
eh eh!!
Hardly a close shave but....
tyrell biggs
if ever there was someone who was brought on to quickly it was poor tyrell.
Was 17-0 and advancing at a nice steady pace.........then BAM
He is fighting iron mike tyson in his prime for the world heavyweight championship infront of tens of millions of PPV viewers.
Never heard of poor tyrell after that
Michael Watson
Very unlucky not to become a world champion. Great technician and although he lost to Mccalum he bounced back well.
Have to disagree back,Bonecrusher was in an era dominated by fighters he just wasnt suited to fight,but you drop him in to the late 50's,he'd have been murderQuote:

IF YOU MEAN AN ERA OF FIGHTERS AS OPOSED TO BOXERS , THEN YOU DONT CONSIDER LARRY HOLMES A BOXER ??
AND EVEN MORE STRANGE DO YOU MEAN JAMES SMITH WAS A BOXER NOT A CRUDE BRAWLER ???
PLEASE EXPLAIN ??
Herol Graham missed fighting Benn and Eubanks, lost close title fights against McCallum (split decision and wrongly deducted a point) Julian Jackson (referee verge of stopping fight) and Brewer (knocked down).
Winky Wright as well, he just couldn't crack the top.
Winky should have stayed at 54 IMO he could have dominated there for years and made some huge $$$$.
Have you seen the 154 lb division lately?Quote:

In a mid range game like they did in the 50's,he'd have torn it up
