I'll refrain from getting carried away here with too many match-ups, but here are some contenders from arguably the two deepest HW eras (I have...
You are probably right about that. You are definitely right that isnt what I had in mind, though. I want to get away from the Seldon's, the...
Wow. Eight of my ten failed to mount a single successful defense of their crown --- and of the other two, Ellis made just one defense, which was...
Hart Willard Carnera Johansson Spinks Briggs Rahman Douglas Burns Ellis Not sure the order theyd be put into, but thats them, for mine. Thats...
Who is their champ? Im almost too afraid to ask.
You got me all backwards on this one, Irish. I consider Wlad THE champ, but Vitali was never that. Either way, you wont see either brother...
The Rahman thread got me thinking...who are the ten WORST Heavies to claim THE main world HW championship (so no one gets to name John Ruiz and...
:lol: True. Youre so devious, Irish.
Having trouble with the term, "arguable," mate. My favourite one-liner out of you recently was calling me, "just some kid," when Im 27, only to...
Id say you just put yourself on Neil's bad side Ike, but that appears to be his only sliver of personality.
Again, arguable --- I tend to agree with your interpretation of, "pummeled," but if someone saw Lewis win ten rounds over Holyfield, beating him...
Subjective. Cases could be made that Bowe & Lewis each turned the trick. Toney is a given.
He & Dempsey both were modern-styled fighters who would shine in any age.
You just believe you can.
Some left-field matchings there, mikE.
Tunney was a very modern styleof boxer. I could agree with you if we were talking about Corbett or Johnson, for various reasons. Not so with Tunney.
As though that were happening...
Tunney, ranked #1 all-time amongst the great Light-Heavy champs by myself, was such an outstanding boxer, with very few flaws in his game. He may...
Irish is about to tell us that, while Rahman is no longer in his (atrocious) prime, he is, "tougher," now than ten years ago.
Dempsey was a big underdog against Willard, and in turn was favourite at least the first time with Tunney, and it was a shut-out. Liston twice...
These are real, or at least purportedly real... Peter Benchley (I think) & Steven Spielberg damaged the Shark in Jaws after hours & left the set...
Baer-Galento & Zale-Graziano were the real deal, & very much mutual affairs.
Light, Middle, Heavy.
This.
Even more contentious than Tyson.
I was aware Frazier had complaints with his vision as far back as the FOTC (Circa), owing to diabetic issues, but partially blind since his...
:lol: Nothing Arabian about my Portuguese roots...though I feel such subtleties as the distinction between Western Europe & the Middle East may...
Its a function of fighters being constantly pushed to have an, '0,' as part of their marketing image. Little wonder, then, that when a guys rep...
Not according to a lot of Tyson fanatics, a notion I find extremely dubious.
I dispute that one hotly.
Separate names with a comma.
