SHOWTIME Boxing Analyst And Historian Gives Wish List Of Top Mythical Matchups Spanning Generations
NEW YORK (ستمبر 18, 2018) – International Boxing Hall of Famer Steve Farhood celebrates four decades in boxing this Tuesday, exactly 40 years since he started working exclusively in the business in 1978.
Farhood began his career writing for various boxing publications at London Publishing on Monday, ستمبر 18, just three days after Muhammad Ali regained the heavyweight title vs. Leon Spinks on Friday, ستمبر 15.
After launching KO Magazine میں 1980 and serving as editor-in-chief of رنگ میگزین for nearly a decade, Farhood joined SHOWTIME in 2001 and has been a staple on the ShoBox: نئی نسل series since its inception more than 17 سال پہلے.
Over the past 40 سال, Farhood has nearly seen it all in the Sweet Science. اب, as he prepares for consecutive Fridays of ShoBox telecasts, the lifelong New Yorker lists a handful of mythical matchups he’d love to see, regardless of the generation.
FARHOOD’S TOP MYTHICAL MATCHUPS:
Joe Frazier-Mike Tyson (ہیوی ویٹ): The ultimate dream fight. No jabs allowed.
Roberto Duran-Alexis Arguello (ہلکا پھلکا): They were both 135-pounders, just not at the same time.
Sugar Ray Robinson-Sugar Ray Leonard (ویلٹر ویٹ): Biggest crime in boxing history: There’s no video of Robinson as a welter, when he was at his very best.
Sugar Ray Leonard-Floyd Mayweather Jr. (ویلٹر ویٹ): The best fighter I’ve ever covered versus the best fighter of this generation.
Jack Dempsey-Rocky Marciano (ہیوی ویٹ): Boxing’s big men were smaller back in the day, but pound-for-pound, nobody hit harder than these two.
Marvin Hagler-Carlos Monzon (مڈل): All-timer vs. all-timer. My guess: Monzon’s style would be all wrong for Hagler. Match B-Hop (برنارڈ ہاپکنس) with the winner.
Salvador Sanchez-Eusebio Pedroza (featherweights): My opinion on this delicious matchup of Hall of Famers is an unpopular one: Pedroza wins on points.
Wilfredo Gomez-Manny Pacquiao (junior featherweights): In the early-‘80s, Gomez was as close to a perfect fighting machine as there was. But would his chin hold up vs. a 122-pound Manny?
This Friday on ShoBox: نئی نسل, top undefeated super featherweight prospect Jon Fernandez (16-0, 14 کوس) will clash with O’Shaquie Foster (13-2, 8 کوس) in the 10-round main event of a four-fight card featuring eight fighters with a combined record of 81-2-1 سے 56 ناک آؤٹ.
اگلے جمعہ, ستمبر 28, ShoBox returns for a tripleheader headlined by 19-year-old blue-chip prospect Devin Haney (19-0, 13 کوس) taking on former three-time world title challenger Juan Carlos Burgos (33-2-2, 21 کوس).
