SHOWTIME Boxing Analyst And Historian Gives Wish List Of Top Mythical Matchups Spanning Generations
紐約 (九月 18, 2018) – International Boxing Hall of Famer Steve Farhood celebrates four decades in boxing this Tuesday, 究竟 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, 九月 18, just three days after Muhammad Ali regained the heavyweight title vs. Leon Spinks on Friday, 九月 15.
After launching KO Magazine 在 1980 and serving as editor-in-chief of 環雜誌 for nearly a decade, Farhood joined SHOWTIME in 2001 and has been a staple on the 的ShoBox: 新一代 series since its inception more than 17 幾年前.
Over the past 40 歲月, Farhood has nearly seen it all in the Sweet Science. 現在, as he prepares for consecutive Fridays of 的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 (重量級): The ultimate dream fight. No jabs allowed.
Roberto Duran-Alexis Arguello (輕量級): They were both 135-pounders, just not at the same time.
Sugar Ray Robinson-Sugar Ray Leonard (次中量級): 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. (次中量級): The best fighter I’ve ever covered versus the best fighter of this generation.
Jack Dempsey-Rocky Marciano (重量級): Boxing’s big men were smaller back in the day, but pound-for-pound, nobody hit harder than these two.
Marvin Hagler-Carlos Monzon (中量級): All-timer vs. all-timer. My guess: Monzon’s style would be all wrong for Hagler. Match B-Hop (伯納德·霍普金斯大學) with the winner.
Salvador Sanchez-Eusebio Pedroza (羽量級): 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 的ShoBox: 新一代, top undefeated super featherweight prospect Jon Fernandez (16-0, 14 科斯) will clash with O’Shaquie Foster (13-2, 8 科斯) in the 10-round main event of a four-fight card featuring eight fighters with a combined record of 81-2-1 同 56 擊倒.
下週五, 九月 28, 的ShoBox returns for a tripleheader headlined by 19-year-old blue-chip prospect Devin Haney (19-0, 13 科斯) taking on former three-time world title challenger Juan Carlos Burgos (33-2-2, 21 科斯).
