These are the skill sets that @SmittyBoxing and I will use to break down this weekend's "Classic Clash" between gold medalists (and the golden boys of their eras) Sugar Ray Leonard and Oscar de la Hoya. Who would win each category and why? For our choices, tune in this weekend here: youtube.com/@inthiscorner. See you then!

Hmmm....great news. And if this trend is indeed true, perhaps the young ones (and the older ones) can purchase my two books, "Tales From the Vault: A Celebration of 100 Boxing Closet Classics," and "Muhammad Ali: By the Numbers" that I co-wrote with @BobCanobbio. They're interesting, enjoyable, informative and they punch far above their weight (and they're heavy books in terms of poundage, especially the first one). Both are available on Amazon.

How would a "Classic Clash" between Sugar Ray Leonard and Oscar de la Hoya turn out?

The next episode of "Classic Clashes" will feature a pair of Olympic gold medalists who were best known for their leading-man looks and their devastating hooks. @SmittyBoxing and I will break down their styles, recount their histories, explain how each man can win and pick our winners.
