Which of Tucker's victims would you say were so far superior to Marciano, they would have stood him in good stead to, "smash" his man? He is...
I don't think much of Froch, to be honest.
Pryor's decision was understandable at the time, though. Everyone was caught up in Leonard's financial pull.
Don't forget competition for athletic talent from rival sports.
There are reasons beyond romance no one will ever sing odes for the men on the right.
Duran would never have seen fifteen with Robinson at Middleweight. Not once, let alone twice. Basilio was bigger & tougher.
By the time of their second & third fights, that flowed in both directions, too. Ali became gradually more possessed of Frazier, as Frazier had...
Who would you say is the best man Williams beat?
The men to the left, in every instance.
Williams was probably no better, in any real sense, than Rex Layne. A big, strong Heavyweight, with a punch & good finishing skills, but limited...
Right. Forgot about this one, actually. The fight begins & ends (most likely) with Liston's jabs. I'm sorry to hit on a cliche, but this is the...
I agree, actually. Whatever people say about Camacho's later career, there should be no detracting from the fact he was an excellent 130 &...
Around 2001, I really think Casamayor could've gone very close to beating Mayweather. Maybe enough to pull it out. Probably an unpopular...
Corrales, who always struck me as a fighter with a distinct lack of focus & ring intelligence, pulled one of the dumbest stunts I've seen in years...
Duran would land cleaner, more precise punches in the beginning, which would serve him well. Basilio, meanwhile, would look to bludgeon & bully...
The fight is a lot like Meldrick Taylor-Buddy McGirt, thinking about it. Both fights featured up-&-coming fighters known for flash & speed...
What is it about Tszyu you despise? I'm not a fan, but he seemed so remarkably inoffensive & agreeable, I can't imagining anyone genuinely hating...
I had to draw a line somewhere (needless to say, I of all people thought long & hard before resigning him to omission!). He's a great, great...
If you're talking Western World, people aren't better-nourished today. General population health has actually plummeted.
#3, for mine. Corrales was a genuinely good (but not great) fighter in his pomp, who was at less than 100% (I went for a little under 80% in the...
Thirty-five or thirty-six, as opposed to the official thirty-two, is closer to the mark. Fifty? Not a chance.
I just meant that Hagler & Hearns fought a barn-burner, & that Hopkins would use various tactics to limit Hearns' offense, rather than out-box him...
Probably less than 80%, but not dramatically less. He had problems, no question, but the nature of Mayweather's victory left little doubt in my...
All things considered? I would place him around seventh or eighth all-time. I have a lot of time for Liston's abilities.
I guess if you're wanting us to say his time spent in the ring as a champion or title challenger isn't so great, well, he did KO Patterson twice...
It's also a red herring.
...How does the 1985 incarnation, who fought Marvin Hagler to a standstill, fare against the Bernard Hopkins who defined his career with a...
Not too far off how I see at least one of their fights --- but it's worth pointing out Basilio was a much more damaging fighter offensively than...
Well, allow me to put forth a case for Olivares... His first step-up in compeition was a ridiculous cakewalk. Three rounds to do away with a...
Chavez's resume isn't as grand as history makes it out to be. It's built more on the back of longevity & his win streak than the level of...
Separate names with a comma.
