I had tons of boxing magazines from that era. I remember Ring listed the ratings by organization. Most showed their top 10 but either the WBC or...
Most amazing sporting event I ever saw. I’d seen Douglas & thought he was pretty solid. I picked him to definitely make it to the 2nd round....
I think 1972 was when Ali finally had his stamina back, had sharpened his reflexes quite a bit, & had his legs again. He couldn’t move like he did...
This was the 3rd time I’d seen Foreman fight live. He beat Sekorski & Trane on ESPN. This was the first of several fights on Tuesday Night Fights.

I thought of Prophet for some reason today while looking at some old fights. I remember seeing him fight once I also had a Ring magazine or...
I’d seen Douglas before and was confident he would make it into the 2nd round at least. That’s about it though. I NEVER thought any of the...
I liked Stewart. Fought some of the best of his era. Gave Moorer a good scare. I’d never cause a boxer of having something in his gloves. What do...
