I'd say this is more of an argument about how to rate a fighter's greatness than it is an argument between Chavez and Louis, atleast from my point...
What is the point? I'm saying you can't rate boxers by looking at the numbers alone. For purposes of discussion we left out the latter part of...
A news reporter actually said that McCallum's chin belonged on par with the chins on Mt. Rushmore after the fight with Toney. I thought it was...
