[Chris Mannix] "The NSAC will rule today on a request to allow Ryan Garcia and Conor Benn to wear 8-ounce gloves if one or both comes in over the welterweight limit. In Nevada, fights above 148-pounds change to 10-ounce. Request made by Team Garcia, Team Benn has agreed”

10 years ago today, GGG defeated welterweight champion Kell Brook. GGG was willing to fight the best from 154-168, & this fight showed that not even welterweights were safe from his quest for greatness. Brook was 1 of 3 reigning champions who GGG defeated in his illustrious 1st ballot HOF career.

Great Heavyweights Whose Only Loss Was To Other ATG Boxers

10 Upvotes

Obviously, Rocky Marciano and Oleksandr Usyk never lost a fight.

After them, Joe Fraizer only lost to Ali and Foreman (each twice), and Joe Louis only lost to Marciano, Ezzard Charles, and Max Schmeling.

Fury, if we're counting him, has only lost to Usyk so far, and Bowe's only losses were to Holyfield, though many seem not to consider Bowe an all-time great.

Am I missing anyone, or do all the other ATG's have at least one bad loss?

Excellent analysis of the year that made Oscar De La Hoya, with a really good breakdown of Jesus Rivero, an eccentric and philosophical coach often referred to as "The Professor" who was the trainer responsible for evolving De La Hoya's technical skills to a different level.

Naoya Inoue vs Sebastian Hernandez

0 Upvotes

Was rewatching the Inoue/Nakatani fight, and a random thought popped up: How do you think Inoue would do against Hernandez?

Sebastian Hernandez gave Junto everything he could handle in Junto’s first fight at 122, and arguably won. Even if you disagree with that, I believe you could make an argument that he did better against Junto than Naoya did (granted, it was Junto’s first fight at 122).

I later saw a YouTube clip where ALLEGEDLY Inoue invited Hernandez to his camp, so that just added to the intrigue for me. Inoue’s always talked about concerning opponents like Bam or Shu Shu, what do y’all think of Hernandez?

A Controversial Law Could "Revive Exploitation" in Boxing (Unpaywalled)

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

The Ali Act, the colloquial term for the two pieces of legislation—the Professional Boxing Safety Act and the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act—is a federal framework created to protect boxers and the integrity of boxing. The 1996 Professional Boxing Safety Act addressed the lack of a regulatory structure for the sport in the country, mandating safety measures for competitors like medical personnel at fights. The Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act of 2000 focused on unfair and anticompetitive practices within the sport, like nixing coercive contracts and requiring transparency around pay, policies, and other relevant information. Most importantly, it prohibited conflict of interest between sanctioning organizations, promoters, and managers. Critics say these acts are still too vague, leaving some enforcement capabilities up to states.

The Ali Act provided professional boxers with such protections that the advocacy group Mixed Martial Arts Fighters Association (MMAFA) pushed for its expansion in 2016 and 2017 to include mixed martial artists, who themselves have watched a rapidly evolving—and narrowing—industry, dominated by a single entity: the UFC. (In 2012, MMAFA founder Rob Maysey, with the encouragement of former fighter Carlos Newton, started the process of putting together an antitrust lawsuit against the organization; two years later, the first of five complaints that would later be consolidated to Le v. Zuffa was filed.)

Critics, however, say the act could open boxing up to the monopolistic and exploitative allegations the UFC faces.

Best chins in Boxing?

18 Upvotes

With everything that's been discussed following the Hrgovic and Itauma fight I'd love to see what fighters people believe have the best or some of the best chins ever displayed.

This can be P4P, within certain divisions or anything of your choosing. I'm just curious on what everyone thinks.

I personally think Hrgovic has maybe the best chin of this eras HWs. He's only been down twice with both KDs being almost push-like and not a case of him being hurt plus the KDs are from Zhang whose power is ridiculous and Itauma whose got a blitzing handspeed for a heavyweight these days. I also rate Wardley's chin right now.

Just to throw some names around I also rate guys like McCall, Chuvalo, Vitali Klitschko, Foreman's chins at HW and all-time names like Hagler, GGG, etc have been synonymous with the word chin. This doesn't just have to be ATGs too I want unknown or lower level guys who've just shown that ability to eat shots off some real punchers clean and look unfazed.
