I think this is spot on, but I’m biased since I was obsessed with heavyweight boxing during this time. Tyson, Bowe, Lewis, Holyfield, comeback...
The ref for Mercer - Morrison was also the ref for Cooney - Norton, which was just as brutal. I’m blanking on his name but he was terrible.
Pinklon Thomas was able to dictate the pace with Tyson for a few rounds. He’d be able to do it for 12 with Tua.
I agree with NoNeck. The Byrd and Lewis fights are not comparable. Lewis was the recognized champion and was potentially on his way to losing. The...
What am I missing here?? I admittedly haven’t seen too much of Hrgovic, but I think he’ll be an easy target for Itauma. Hrgovic is big, tough,...
Vitali took legitimate power punches from Lewis and Sanders. He’s not getting stopped by anyone 5’10” 185lbs with a 68” reach, even if that man...
What if Bowe fought Morrison instead? Huge gap in talent, but could Morrison land his hook as easily as Holyfield did?
Bowe was basically done coming into Golota 1. Easy win for Lewis at the point IMO. But yes it still would’ve been a huge event had Bowe’s decline...
He didn’t look great against Ruddock either, and likely would have lost had the fight not been stopped prematurely.
I’ve watched the HBO broadcast on YouTube a couple of times. From what I recall Bruno was winning a competitive fight. He had Witherspoon stunned...
He was on the decline by 1994 when he fought Mathis Jr and Larry Donald. He looked sloppy and vulnerable against Hide. He looked good against...
This is probably too simplistic, but I see Bowe making Lewis look silly for the first half of the fight until Lewis catches him. Much like the...
The question makes it sound like Bonavena was stopped by Quarry.
Those punches were wild but damn he looked scary. I think he was irritated by Roman from some of the pre-fight stuff and really wanted to hurt him.
Foreman vs Adilson Rodrigues is pretty good and worth revisiting.
