Luis Resto claimed in the Assault in the Ring docu that Panama mixed his "black bottles" with crushed asthma medication. Of course, Luis is an...
I disagree - while he still showed big power (vs. Rooney), he looked visibly slower and stiffer with the extra weight IMO.
Great analysis.
I believe Glen Johnson teamed up with Orlando Cuellar sometime around 2002-2003, which coincides with his drastic shift from an economic...
These are the earliest fights of Frazier I've seen, against Dick Wipperman and Billy Daniels (his 6th and 11th pro fights, respectively). You can...
And to answer the thread question: -Maidana after he teamed with Robert Garcia. -Holyfield when he trained with Steward for the Bowe rematch....
That's nonsense, Pac fought flatfooted and with his back to the ropes for stretches of the Cotto fight, and he absolutely MURDERED Thurman with...
Pacquiao improved under Roach, but the changes weren't immediate. I'd say the 2nd Morales fight is where the improvements first began to manifest.
I think Benjamin Button is an ATG film as well. I'd say that film and Seven stand out as his two masterpieces.
Of course... I just find it odd that there's such a massive gap in quality between his top 4 films and the entire rest of his filmography.
SP pretty much hits the nail on the head - Robinson was visibly a step or two slower than in his prime (but still fast in a general sense) and his...
He also may have settled into the weight a bit better over time. But he definitely didn't look comfortable when he first moved up vs. Alexander.
The Raiders should go all out for either Wilson or Watson IMO, with Carr and/or Mariota as one of their bargaining chips.
I'd favor Maidana, as I think his attack was faster and more unpredictable and he demonstrated more resilience in winning tough battles.

I think Hagler's southpaw attack (and how Robinson responds) could be the deciding factor in this fight. Either it takes Robi out of his game, or...
That's like asking Marvin Hagler not to show up bald.
1. Godfather 2. Apocalypse Now 3. Godfather 2 4. The Conversation 5. ? Coppola created a small handful of ATG films, but the vast majority of his...
1. Casino 2. Taxi Driver 3. Raging Bull 4. Goodfellas 5. Age of Innocence Overall, I'm not that big of a Scorsese fan.
When you think about it, Ray Robinson's 3rd victory over Bobo Olson is quite a shocking result. Bobo had taken Ray 12 and 15 rounds when Ray was...
His victory over Robinson secures his place among the ATGs. That was his Frazier-Ali I moment.
Henry Armstrong and Gene Fullmer ravaged opponents in close with shoulder and head butts. Sandy Saddler loved to hold and hit, as well as various...
Jack Johnson? Billy Graham? Would Winky Wright have a case for the top 10?
I remember seeing Sanders in a seesaw battle with Rahman years earlier, and being impressed by the handspeed and combinations of such a big man....
I think Curry's handspeed and technical skill make it competitive early, but Basilio breaks him down at some point.
Beter needs to have more than just 15 fights (and more than just one big fight) in order to be properly assessed in these kind of matchups.
Yeah, I remember that fight as being roughly pick 'em and tough to choose.
His colorization of the Hindenberg disaster is really quite compelling, though. [MEDIA]
I give Byrd the benefit of the doubt that he can avoid being blasted out, seeing as it happened so few times to him despite fighting so many big...
I thought that one was pretty predictable. Byrd looked like a skeleton by the time the fight came off. If he was going to drop down in weight,...
