Maybe, but it seems there's only one guy who can do that, and even he hasn't had easy time. Wilder deserves his props
Duran got brutally exposed here
I believe the extra weight will help him some as his body might be able to take more punishment. Also it is possible that he has improved his jab,...
I don't think there's a big gap between the two. That's not to belittle Ali either. To me, both are on such high level that making a distinction...
Handspeed is among the most important qualities for a fighter. If you know nothing about two fighters who meet each other, you usually get your...
Cory Spinks vs Paul Malinaggi
Holyfield after Tyson I Probably not because of punches though, but rather a case of plain stupidity
We know what happened to the ones who tried that...

I realize all that and I agree that the habit of losing rounds is what separates him from other guys with unique style, such as Vitaly or Foreman....
I would be a bit cautious when talking about technique too, mainly because there seems to be something in boxing technique that doesn't meet even...
Shitload of champions fit the description. Joe Louis, Leon Spinks, Riddick Bowe...

The thing is, Fury has above average skills combined with his huge size, and this combination is what makes him stand out. Boxing, as all sports,...
I wasn't talking about you but about our (including mine) general tendency to lower fighter's ranking as the fighter himself grows old. This...

One argument could be that Nonito was p4p top-3 level fighter for a moment whereas Chico was never close to that
McClellan would feel like a dog whose mouth was taped
David Izon was the same size as Usyk and otherwise not as good (got blasted by Grant) and gave Tua a very difficult fight. Tua had difficulty...
Did Spinks show lack of toughness in any other fight than Tyson though? Holmes hurt him pretty easily, but he battled through it. Machen was often...

The Douglas who fought Tucker
At heavy
