36 years ago today on August 18, 1990, Nigel Benn stopped Iran Barkley in the first round of an incredible action packed first round slugfest. Should Benn have been penalized or disqualified for the late hits? I’m surprised they never fought a rematch.

Who Would Win: Manny Pacquiao vs. Edwin Valero? 🥊
Hypothetical matchup: Manny Pacquiao vs. Edwin Valero, both at their best.
We never got to see this fight, but it’s one of those matchups that makes me wonder what could have happened.
Pacquiao had the speed, angles, footwork, combinations, and experience against elite opposition.
Valero was an absolute pressure machine — undefeated, incredibly aggressive, powerful, and seemingly always looking for the finish.
If they actually fought at their peak, who do you think wins and why?
Would Pacquiao’s speed and movement be too much for Valero?
Or would Valero’s pressure and power eventually catch him?
And most importantly: what do you think the fight looks like? Decision, late stoppage, or early KO?
Drop your prediction and explain your reasoning. I’m genuinely curious to see which side Reddit takes. 🥊🔻

"Iron" Mike Tyson Vs. Sonny "The Big Bear" Liston, 2 of the most intimidating heavyweights ever, who wins?
I love both fighters, for me it's a stylistic nightmare for Tyson as he will struggle to get in range past the battering ram of listons jab, I believe Liston wears Tyson down and gets a late finish
