Liston the hardest hitter of all-time? I think Eddie Machen would disagree. We should ask him once he wakes up from that tiff with Ingo.
Duran of 83' was better, but the effort in 89' was supernatural. If there is a Nirvana, Duran is joining the Vikings there in the afterlife for...
He gets beat worse. The Duran vs Hagler was better. He showed that by challenging arguable the greatest middleweight champ in the history of the...
Tyson Fury, in my view. Not that competitive either. Sports at the world level is nothing to sneeze at, and with one man in prime condition and...
I think the chance of Rocky cutting would be very high. I once saw an interview with Cooper who said that before the exile, Ali had a very...

I have this notion that lean guys are more susceptible. So going upwards of your natural weightclass, even while facing bigger punchers, could...

I'm not a big Holyfield fan, but that man was never scared in the ring. He bumped into Bowe, fought onto old age and after getting momentarily...
