Don't underestimate Basilio. After all he did go 15 tough rounds with Robinson; not an easy task. Yes I know this Robinson wasn't in his prime but...
Does anyone recall seeing any of his fights? I saw him in with Eddie Machen the second time around when he was stopped in 9. I also remember him...
I would pick Mills Lane. He was such a gutsy referee for such a little guy. He didn't take any crap from anybody including Mike Tyson in the...
I think Paul Pender might have decisioned Tiger had they met. Tiger had trouble with movement and speed and Paul had both.
Ray Robinson. He was able to do a number on Gene Fullmer in their third fight in 1960 only to get robbed out of winning the title with the...
Ketchel wins by KO. Any middleweight that has the power to deck Jack Johnson must be something else. Could you picture Oscar knocking down the...
Did anyone ever see footage of this fight? It was in 1958 and Bassey was the featherweight champion at the time. Willie was in his late 30's and...
Marcel Cerdan and Tony Zale shouldn't be left out.
Basilio, Chuvalo, Fullmer, Tiger, Marciano, Holly Mims all had granite whiskers. How about Ray Mercer? And way back the Basque boxer Paulino Uzcudun.
I recall reading about Willi Besmanoff back in the 1960's. He fought practically all of the top contenders and usually got clobbered. I was...
I always thought that Patterson could have done much better against Liston than he did. He had the boxing skills and the quickness of hand and...
Who wins? Styles make fights and I think Fullmer would take this one. Archer would have a harder time outboxing him than he did Dick Tiger...
Joey Archer was a good one. He was able to outfox Dick Tiger, Rubin Carter and Holly Mims etc. So it certainly isn't all that impossible that he...
I don't know who would win this one. But I doubt Mayweather can knock Basilio down. The only time Carmen was ever off his feet was in his last...
Gene Fullmer had an awkward but very effective jab. He used it very effectively against Carmen Basilio and Dick Tiger in their second bout.
