the only other match in recent times which got me pumped for the fight was Barrera-Morales II, just because of their hatred for each other and from what transpired in their press conference.
I think the key ingredients to a great rivalry is two world class fighters, in their prime, who have nothing but contempt for each other. These two fights satisfy the criteria perfectly.
Those two will go to the grave hating each other, or at least Toney. To this day when he does an interview and they bring up Roy he get’s pissed off but then again he alway’s get’s pissed off
Tarver-Jones
Corrales-Mayweather
Vargas-De La Hoya
Mayorga-Everybody
There is a competitive rivalry between the two but there is no grudge rivalry or rivalry outside the ring. This does not make for one of the best rivals such as
De La Hoya Vs Vargas
Red Sox Vs Yankees
Ohio State Vs Michigan
Raiders Vs Chiefs
Ali Vs Frazier
There has to be something more to make it a great rivalry.
That was a horrible comment. I am not going to SC because I disagree, that would be weak. I come to this site to debate because it helps me learn more, but respect and liking somebody are two seperate thing’s, everybody I listed up top respect’s one another they just don’t like each other. I am sure you have ran into somebody you respect but do not like. Learn the difference
