I don't think Bugner had the necessary aggressive mentality to beat a Cooney at his best. Cooney at his best was decent; tall, long reach and...
RIP to a fine fighter; IMO, the only guy to clearly beat Hagler as a pro.
I think Pavlik wins, probably by stoppage, I think he can catch Benn coming in & hit him often enough and with sufficient power to cause the...
Ali-Spinks 1 WAS a massive upset. Sure, Ali was slipping and was in "anyone but Norton" mode, but Spinks was a 7 fight novice who was selected...
I am surprised that nobody has mentioned Norton v Ali 1. An absolutely HUGE shock at the time.
Why the f*ck is Bowe on there but no place for Johnson, Liston, Frazier or Holmes? Clearly trying to sell the product to the younger market...
Jack Bodell - well, he fell awkwardly.
Hagler & Arguello were the 2 names that sprung to mind when I saw this thread (against Minter & Watt respectively). Honourable mentions; Santos...
Marciano was my first boxing hero when I was a kid (I was 6 when he died) and the media coverage when he died and the anecdotes of his victories,...
Over 15 rounds...that's a long time not to get crushed by that left hook of Pipino. Starling likely needs 45 minutes to win this fight, Cuevas...
I like Frank, watched him since he turned pro (we are similar ages) and when he turned pro he was the heavyweight hope that Britain had always...
In '62 I think Big Cat kayoes the post Patterson Ingo. Being bigger & likely quicker with a longer reach, I think Williams gets in first and...
I don't think this fight was extremely close, a clear win for Norton, IMO. Judging by Norton & Ali's reaction at the final bell, they both thought...
I met him at Wembley stadium after the Witherspoon-Bruno fight in July '86 and I've got to say I found him highly personable. He was "on duty"...
I picked Honeyghan to beat Curry and remember going out with my mates to the Dun Cow on the Old Kent Road that night & getting stick from them all...
