The debate this time is Jose Napoles vs. Joe Frazier in 1969 with a recap of the decade and a pick for Fighter of the Decade. Hope you enjoy. This series is my favorite to write right now.

Link in bio.

[RoldBoxing @RoldBoxing]

Not a great fight but high energy and the crowd noise has added to it. 8-4 Foster

[RoldBoxing @RoldBoxing]

Gave Ford 8 and 10. 6-4 Foster. Been a BUNCH of swing rounds

[RoldBoxing @RoldBoxing]

Think Foster has won the last 3. 5-2. Ford being way too predictable. Sitting on the left and nothing else really to worry about

[RoldBoxing @RoldBoxing]

2-2

[RoldBoxing @RoldBoxing]

1-1. Gave Ford the 2nd

[RoldBoxing @RoldBoxing]

How does Foster not lose a point for that?

[RoldBoxing @RoldBoxing]

Bivol has two excellent opponent options right now. Good spot to be in

[RoldBoxing @RoldBoxing]

Good rust buster for Bivol. Let’s get back to the good stuff

[RoldBoxing @RoldBoxing]

@JermBoxingTalk @UnderCo56515875 Others have done it in fewer fights (Tanaka, who was also 28). Inoue also 4 five in 25 fights

[RoldBoxing @RoldBoxing]

@dougiefischer @HEsokaEE Could also have been a money issue. Magazine was barely surviving when Mike beat Spinks.

@HEsokaEE @dougiefischer

[RoldBoxing @RoldBoxing]

@HEsokaEE @dougiefischer I did a piece on this for them in the last regular print issue before relaunch.

I think I made a mistake at welter thought as Oscar-Mosley I may have been 1-3.

[RoldBoxing @RoldBoxing]

@dougiefischer @HEsokaEE Just ignore the glaring problem at 175. ;)

[RoldBoxing @RoldBoxing]

@HEsokaEE @dougiefischer It’s accurate though. They didn’t do belts then.

[RoldBoxing @RoldBoxing]

@dougiefischer @HEsokaEE Then he won ANOTHER 1-2 against Chico

[RoldBoxing @RoldBoxing]

@HEsokaEE @dougiefischer Floyd should have one at 130 as well. There’s only 3 guys to go lineal in four. Be happy to see the other two get the extra gear.

[RoldBoxing @RoldBoxing]

@HEsokaEE @dougiefischer It’s a straight line from Ring’s recognition of Canto to Pacquiao. No breaks.

[William Dettloff @WilliamDettloff]

People talking about if it's okay for Canelo to "cash out" now against an influencer or some such novelty. He made $170M last year. Christ, what number qualifies as a cash out??

[RoldBoxing @RoldBoxing]

Strong pick. Bon Iver did a really good cover a while back

@BoxingTalk_UK @MarkEOrtega @ATokkers5 Which he then hedged on again not long after with no one having filled the throne while he was gone.

And again, it all ends the same place: Usyk.

No need for name calling.
