unpopular opinions that you have.

Its hard for me to see how Ali's style would of worked against someone of Lewis's style, size, and power.

I agree with that

Oh restarting this thread for all new commers , good idea.

I think the Rock cheated by chopping away with the sides of his gloves.

Jeff Fennech looked good against only smaller men.

Mine would be that ali was no were near the greatest heavyweight of all time just the best spokesman for boxing but not the best boxer

One thing I have never liked is the perception and/or opinion that Asian fighters are not as great as some historians make them out be. In my view, they have been terribly neglected by the "so-called experts" who vote people into the Hall of Fame. I have a hunch this might be corrected in 2009, but time will tell. Ah, now I feel better for getting that off my chest. Thanks for the thread that allowed me to do that.

Here are some of my opinions that might be a bit unpopular:

Shane Mosley was unbeatable in any era at lightweight. Simply too much speed and power. Even for Duran.

I've always thought that people must have been blind to score the ODLH-Quartey fight in favor of ODLH. I always thought that Quartey clearly won that fight and was absolutely robbed. That was a great fight BTW.

Ricky Hatton talks about being an all action fighter but the majority of his fights are boring as hell and frustrating to watch.

Manny Pacquiao is not P4P #1. That honor should go to Joe Calzaghe. He's more talented as a boxer than Manny is.

The only person that Floyd Mayweather could not beat in and around his different weight classes is Winky Wright.

Evander Holyfield's amazing run as a heavyweight was only possible due to steroids.

Pernell Whitaker would have given Sugar Ray Leonard fits.

ODLH would have beat JCC in his prime too.

good post but this is actually not an unpopular opinion if you talk to guys here who really know boxers from asia they too will tell you this same opinion.
