You're too nice! Mamby was and still is an ugly SOB!!!! In fact, that's how I referred to him at the Times Square Gym. I was watching some...
Fernando Vargas, but he was dusted off....
Harold Brazier Saoul Mamby These were consumate, throw-back, "cuties", perhaps amongst the best over the last 20-30 years as far as being...
Vassiliy Jirov, David Reid. Joe Mesi should have been knocked out!
How ironic is it that way back in the day, when America was so-called "Innocent"; some chicks actually stayed with the guys they married, let...
How 'bout Ward/Gatti I going 15 rounds?
I can see that. Imagine Mike Tyson/Bonecrusher Smith going 15 rounds!..... 12 rounds was worse than getting teeth pulled. At the same time,...
Very true! I remember waiting for the Terry Norris/Simon Brown fight years ago, only to see the fight postponed on fight night because Brown had a...
Is this a Rick Roll?
Going by this list that I had found, a majority of the ring deaths were not in rounds 13-15. http://ejmas.com/jcs/jcsart_svinth_b_0700.htm...
THIS IS THE FUNNIEST SHIT EVER!!!! :atu: :bears: :giggle:
Something as simple as parrying the jab, for fighters with shorter reaches. By parrying a boxer with a longer reach, you can take as much as...
That's why I said physically AND mentally tough. Physically tough allowed him to blow guys away, mentally allowed him to weather through beatings...
I remember thinking the same thing. However, I also remember Teddy Atlas calling Tyson a "Game Coward" for taking the beating he took against...
I think James Toney might have worked hard to become better looking. Remember the fight against Nunn? He didn't look anything like he looked in...
I'm talking about guys who just look/looked like they just walked into the ring and looked spectacular as if they were born to do it with limited...
FREAKING THANK YOU!!! I've been saying that for years..... Like you, I'm the biggest Tyson fan, only second to Muhammad Ali. It does not even...
Actually, you're making my point. My point is, he was a good amateur and there was a lot expected of him. Carr was also pretty darn good as a pro,...
That's pretty ironic; Darryl Anthony was from St. Louis, too! However, he did beat Louis Howard in the box-offs.
I know you all remember how a fight between these two had been talked about years ago. After looking back on it, I think it could have been an...
Breland was 110-1, with his only loss coming against Darryl Anthony. He went on to avenge that loss via 3rd round tko as a pro. As a New Yorker, I...
Obviously, this is to pay hommage to the guys who "Woulda" been champ but came along at a time when their division was loaded with talent or...
The guys I named were pre :shit: amateur boxers and in Hearns' case, he fought without a helmet. As for Kelcie Banks, all of those amateur...
By the way, what do you guys think about Kelcie Banks' alleged 460-86 amateur record?
Felix Trinidad comes to mind 51-6 with only 12 ko's; not exactly Oscar's 224-5! As far as a future power puncher who lacked knockout technique...
I agree that he may not be a star fighter, at least not as a heavyweight. I think he'd be a solid cruiserweight. In this day and age, there have...
I wonder if Archie Moore qualifies for this list? He was ducked, dodged and screwed over before finally beating Joey Maxim in '52, days before his...
He's not a bad player. He's just as solid as any other solid NFL lifer. He won't be a star, but he's far from a scrub!
Arturo Gatti. After losing to Angel Manfredy and both fights to Ivan Robinson, he was on a three fight losing streak and heading nowhere fast! He...
It does sell well on the east coast; however, this kid is from the Chicago area which has the largest Polish population outside of Warsaw! I...
