Ali's hook was underrated. It was a wide, sweeping thing he throw, often as a sorta hook/uppercut against short opponents like Frazier or taller...
Mosley tended to pose and admire his work, always a bad habit. And, like Roy Jones, he tended to be fairly stationary, daring opponents to make a...
The Snipes bout was definitely one of the few controversial Holmes bouts. At the time I thought it was a premature stoppage and probably would if...
A prime Mugabi would have crushed a prime Ayala. For one thing, Ayala wasn't strong enough for Mugabi. And Mugabi was more versatile, able to...
Macho Man. Even when he was past his prime and ideal weight, I enjoyed watching him give a clinic to most opponents. It was pretty impressive to...
Personally, I think that's mostly urban/ring myth. As an amateur (lightweight up to light middleweight) I often sparred light heavyweights and...
If I was Bowe I'd be kinda discouraged that my best cheap shots had no effect on an upcoming opponent! That was a perfect left hook and Donald...
Do what Roy Jones did: be so brilliantly quick with your hands, move like a mongoose, strike like a cobra, see everything around you so well that...
Reggie Strickland. The definition of trial horse. Hundreds of pro fights, mostly 4-6 rounders, mostly losses. But he was always in shape, knew...
When I was a kid, Ali was da man. And I enjoyed watching Frazier too. As a teenager, Duran, Victor Galindez, Carlos Monzon. Okay, sure,...
Good point. Steve won the title from Barry in what became The Ring's 1986 Fight of the Year. So... shouldn't that accomplishment elevate the...
Micky Ward built an entire career on a left hook.
That's gotta really hurt for a guy who claims he never tipped a waiter until after beating Trinidad. If they really want to set a standard for...
It's moot. Frazier didn't have the style to give Foreman serious trouble. He actually clobbered George with some pretty good shots during their...
Based on stylistic differences I'll go with Buchanan over Chavez by UD; and SD over or draw with Arguello.
