SHOWTIME Boxing Analyst And Historian Gives Wish List Of Top Mythical Matchups Spanning Generations
НЬЮ ЙОРК (Есдүгээр 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, Есдүгээр 18, just three days after Muhammad Ali regained the heavyweight title vs. Leon Spinks on Friday, Есдүгээр 15.
After launching KO Magazine дахь 1980 and serving as editor-in-chief of Ring сэтгүүл for nearly a decade, Farhood joined SHOWTIME in 2001 and has been a staple on the ShoBox: Шинэ эх үүсвэрийг бий болгох series since its inception more than 17 жилийн өмнө.
Өнгөрсөн хугацаанд 40 жил, Farhood has nearly seen it all in the Sweet Science. Одоо, 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 (хүнд жингийн): The ultimate dream fight. No jabs allowed.
Roberto Duran-Alexis Arguello (хөнгөн): They were both 135-pounders, just not at the same time.
Sugar Ray Robinson-Sugar Ray Leonard (welterweight): 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. (welterweight): The best fighter I’ve ever covered versus the best fighter of this generation.
Jack Dempsey-Rocky Marciano (хүнд жингийн): Boxing’s big men were smaller back in the day, but pound-for-pound, nobody hit harder than these two.
Marvin Hagler-Carlos Monzon (Эмэгтэй дунд): All-timer vs. all-timer. My guess: Monzon’s style would be all wrong for Hagler. Match B-Hop (Бернард Хопкинс) 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: Шинэ эх үүсвэрийг бий болгох, top undefeated super featherweight prospect Jon Fernandez (16-0, 14 Kos) will clash with O’Shaquie Foster (13-2, 8 Kos) in the 10-round main event of a four-fight card featuring eight fighters with a combined record of 81-2-1 нь 56 накоут.
Дараа нь Баасан, Есдүгээр 28, ShoBox returns for a tripleheader headlined by 19-year-old blue-chip prospect Devin Haney (19-0, 13 Kos) taking on former three-time world title challenger Juan Carlos Burgos (33-2-2, 21 Kos).
