One aspect of that embellishment came from Conn himself, in fairness to Sugar. Conn said he landed a big left in the 12th which made him think he...
Marciano was always on the verge of losing and bleeding like a bashful virgin when he turned the fight around. Evander Holyfield only had 1 gear,...
In fairness, Victor Davis Hanson does a good take on why Americans are "dropping out" of things. This inability of sportscasters to not fuse their...
Sugar was good for boxing in that he talked endlessly and ceaselessly about boxing. Sugar was bad for boxing in that he endlessly and ceaselessly...
One of them is a bit more overrated than the other.
You don't want to be the Black Bert Sugar. That guy was full of shit.
It's amazing, it wouldn't happen today, all of the "Angst" bullshit has killed it. Guys are so rarely able to sit down in each others company...
Hearns was of course 6 ' 1" +............I still don't think he bombs him out early but he does finish it if he gets him hurt.
Is this Tito with Los Manos De Actual Piedro or not? I think the guy who beats Tito is probably as tall and more cagey than powerful. There's...
Somebody's hole would have to go.

No shortage of people in the Lower East Side quite happy to put a bullet in somebody for $5 back in the day I am sure.
I always felt I was fair in my appraisals of them. The Wlad that twice KO'd Tony Thompson would beat Fury. Vitali had his shortcomings, which...
Fury is a disappointment. He couldn't handle the attention and he basically got run out of boxing. Typically knew his way around a ring and could...
Guys like JC Gomez tried that shit and while it makes Vitali look bad it doesn't work. Besides, the 1999 version of Vitali is just way faster,...
2 little historical notes 1. The IRA men who went into the Customs House in 1921 were armed with 4 rounds of ammunition each. 2. The World...
Any one of a number of guys from Thailand, Australia, Russia, Central Asia, Africa, fuck.........loads of guys. Azumah Nelson vs Jeff Fench...

Reminds of the Christle brothers who were at Trinity College Dublin and were very good college amateurs. Terry Christle fought Dave Tiberi to a...
Fenech??
Fury has strong points, he's brave, he's a natural fighter, he's very big and has good tools and brilliant natural movement for such a big man....
Wlad was himself a lesser fighter than Vitali and diminished by 2015, at that. As it happens, I saw a lot more in the challenge posed by Fury...
Uppercuts hurt more than angles and that didn't discourage him vs Lewis, who was almost as rangy as Fury. I can't see Vitali lose to somebody...
Vitali was the daddy. He;'d walk Fury down and probably win via DQ.
Oh yeah? What are you doing here then?
Barry McGuigan in 1985 when I was 7 and then Carruth and McCullough at the Barcelona Olympics in 1992 when they came up against the Cubans. An...
